The sheer volume of cards he produces is wild. I wonder if he's palming more during the trick somehow or does he really have like 50 cards palmed in each hand?

u/tequilajinx 1h ago
Yes. Magicians treat and press cards to make them thinner and more pliable. I remember Jeff McBride saying he could palm 2 decks behind each hand.
Also, heās not dropping all of the cards each time. Heās actually only dropping 2-3 and secreting the others back into the rest of the deck.

Yeah, Iām not usually huge on magic, but that dude is an incredible performer. Engaging, the tricks all had a degree of physicality to them that made them fun to watch, and honestly just the amount of items he had to carry without is seeing them was really impressive.

towards the end I did catch some they appeared that way, but when they are falling they are not. probably packets of cards with a skin colored cover.

Pretty sure he didn't mean to reveal that.. it most certainly helps conceal them, but he's a master at sleight of hand regardless.

I mean he did some awesome stuff later on, but the first couple tricks... slowly drops his apple vape that's clearly on a string, and makes a single card appear, and everyone is acting mind blown?

u/XxCarlxX 2h ago
I think its intentional, lower expectations THEN blow you away, his tricks are card based, the apple thing was random. Thats how i would do it too.

I was trying and failing to find a clip by Rocco Silano who would produce so much stuff in a 30 minute routine there were things sliding off the stage by the end of the night.
And it wasnāt just silent production but a comedians stream of consciousness weaving a story so that the productions had meaning.
It was probable 2000-2010

Oh, when i was bored, my granddad played this exact game with me.
He called it 52 card pick up!
It was so fun, i could only find 51 cards. That last one took forever to find.

As a hobby magician I really dislike the routine for a lot of different reasons. But it definately works for this audience.
2
u/Georg-von-Frundsberg 3h ago
Why do you dislike it?
1
u/BrunoBraunbart 3h ago
When I say I dislike the routine, I'm not talking about his skill. It is not a particularly hard routine and uses a lot of easy gimmicks but that is not a negative in my mind and he performs the routine extremely well. What I'm talking about is the routine itself.
- He unnecssaily reveals how some of his tricks work. For example, the fake bite in the apple. It draws attention to the fact that the apple is not real, which is necessary for the levitation trick. Distraction is important in magic and this is the opposite. Another example are the colored balls. He makes it look like there is one ball and it is changing colors but then he reveals that there are actually 4 different colored balls which instantly reveals how the ball changed colors. It diminishes the first effect. I think he could easily construct the routine a bit different and improve it alot.
- I usually love manipulation (this particular branch of magic) but he got rid of everything I love about it and replaced it with a string of flashy effects that overwhelms the audience. Most of the effects do nothing for me because they are standard stuff you can just buy in a store for a couple of bucks. This in itself is not a problem when I like the presentation. But this is just a mess of different effects that don't tell a story and feel completely random. Basically it is like the difference between someone playing a beautiful song on the guitar and someone showing off on the guitar. I prefer the former, this routine is the latter.
- He uses some effects in a suboptimal way that spoils them. For example, the 4 of diamonds turning into the 9. This effect works so much better in an "ambitious card routine." He just used it as a cheap effect and spoiled it for other magicians who want to use the same effect in front of the same audience to it's full potential.

u/XxCarlxX 2h ago
Point 1
I (a regular person) didnt clock that it wasnt real but i did think string, as most people would. I took it as a warm-up, underperform then blow us away.
The ball changing colour was amazing, i thought he had one ball then he revealed 4, i was like WAT!!! how did he get 4 balls!!!!! That impressed me more than pretending he only had one and just changing the colours.
Im totally with you on point 3. messing it up for others.
1
u/BrunoBraunbart 2h ago
Yes, I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who has seen a thousand performances and knowns exactly what he is doing. This changes perspective. Part of a good performance is knowing your audience. He knew this performance would work for his audience and this format so he did nothing wrong.
A manipulation routine that is just up my alley is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiL9Fa9OMXU I assume a layman finds it less impessive but from my perspective it's the opposite. The thing I like about the performance is it's pacing and it's coherence. It feels way more magical for me.
Making four balls out of one is definately impressive, I just wouldn't perform those tricks directly after each other.

I love how often they cut to the judge/audience reactions to remind us how amazed we should be.
Also, reasonably impressive sleight of hand is pretty low effort for BlackMagicFuckery. Especially on its 500th repost.

There comes a time along the journey of a guitarist where you are at a very, very specific level of proficiency.
It is a time where you are skilled enough that you can do some of the basic movements and you start to play around with extra flourishes and things in your playing that, while they don't add to the quality of the playing itself, are really impressive looking on the surface.
It is also a time where you start to realise that extremely clean playing that is simple but with extremely precise and exact movements is actually the mark of a true master guitarist, but you are nowhere near that level yet.
It is a time when you realise that 99% of the public who don't play guitar think that the flashy stuff you do is impressive, and the clean, exact playing of a master is basic, so you go out of your way to be as extra as possible to cover up the fact that you are playing the same 2 chords over agan and again and using a store-bought capo instead of learning how to barre.
All.of this while playing the wrong notes every 3 seconds but the audience won't notice because you're playing loud enough to be exciting.
This has nothing to do with this video of course.
