I recently have been obsessed with David Blaine, interested to discover the secrets behind his tricks…however I have discovered a magician that amazes me far more than David Blaine ever could.
Now tell me if you can figure out these tricks…
Fly
Needles
Coin Trick
Disappears
Walks on Water
Levitates a Tourist
Now I know there is no such thing as real magic, but this guy is one hell of an illusionist!!
Who says there’s no such thing as real magic.
It just probably doesn’t look like D&D or Harry Potter magic.
Derren Brown is a better entertainer. Indeed, Blaine doesn’t impress me at all.
Well, I think that if there was real magic, obviously it wouldn’t be like that, it would have to do with mastering one’s mind and gaining physic abilities, like telekenisis and possibly the ability to float, even fly. But If such existed, I’m sure Criss Angel wouldn’t be the first to be able to do it, and I’ve never heard of anyone else walking on water, or flying between buildings or disappering in front of your eyes, and he himself admits that it is an illusion but I would really like to know how he pulls that stuff off.
Magic is D&D or Harry Potter stuff, the ‘real magic’ I would not call magic at all. I would call it psychic abilities.
I just checked out some of his stuff on youtube after you mentioned his name.
Never heard of him before, but I have to say he is very clever and I am almost more impressed with him then with Criss Angel (but watch those videos if you havn’t already)
I watched the chess game and when he explained how he did it I thought “Wow that is one of the most clever ideas I’ve ever heard of!!”
His stuff isn’t really what most would traditionally call magic, its just a very clever art of mind deception.
I don’t know if I believe the thing where he made the film student think that he was invisible, but if it is real, then I have to say I am extremely impressed.
This guy is my new hero, thanks siatd.
Sure, he’s not really an illusionist, but what he does are ‘tricks’ of a sort. I really like the guy so I’m glad you’re impressed by him…
there was a marine (stationed in Japan) who used to post here under the name of Smooth… he did some good illusions too… his site is offline at the moment…

Whatever you want to call it. When you use forces which you control by will to do your bidding, is it magic or psychic abilities? Either way, it’s extraordinary. I see no reason to exclusively use one term or the other.
i went to watch some of his videos on youtube…
and that zombie game is quite possibly the WORST TRICK EVER PLAYED ON ANYONE.
funny though.
Yeah that guy was freakin out, I’m not sure how I would of reacted though…I would like to think I wouldn’t be as much as a pussy as that guy was.
This isn’t magic. But it is incredible. I once took the piss out of ben for being able to do rubics cubes in two minutes (or so he claimed), but this kid puts that to shame.
i need to learn that russian scam derren brown was doing
that kid is a genius!!
Holy crap I just watched that!!! There is no way that is real!!
Well if it is real…then Derren Brown needs to start working for M16.
“Yes I just need those secret coded messages from you…thanks very much cheers.”
I bet you can only pull that one off with a british accent
no, it’s totally real
as long as you keep someone distracted, they’re very suggestible sometimes.
i’ll bet it doesn’t work on everyone though.
It doesn’t - on the full versions of his shows they sometimes put a clip of him failing while the credits roll.
I’m just worried that he’s going to brainwash us all and become King of Europe.
edit - the Stephen Fry clip is very good. Not just a good trick, but a great reaction too.

the best BBC shows have the players read the closing credits in the style of clive’s choosing…

i agree
I may have told you this before but a girl I went to school with once slept with Richard Vranch…
