- Good day, to you.
What's up guys and welcome back.
My favorite subreddit on Reddit is Black Magic (duck quacks)
because there are some things here that just can't
be explained as well as some really good magic,
which we will see very shortly.
So without any further, let's get into it.
This is Eric Chien, I believe.
He won the Fism Grand Prix Award for close-up magic.
Apparently, now I've not seen his full routine.
People have been tagging me in this post quite a bit.
So let's have a look at it.
(people clapping)
(mystical music)
Little dusty.
Ribbon.
Little picture frame.
Another one.
This guy is the most intrigued about--
Oh.
He's the most intrigued about inanimate
random objects that I've ever seen.
Whoa!
Whoa scared me, ha ha.
What?
Okay.
Red and black.
(people clapping)
Good.
Whoa.
That's interesting.
(laughs)
(audience claps)
What?!
Hold on a second.
(mouse clicks)
Yo.
(people clapping)
That's really good.
Damn bro.
(laughs)
(people clapping)
Get outta here.
(people clapping)
Get outta here.
Stop!
So clever.
It's really good use of
the color changing principal in cards,
to have them switch like that under the ribbon.
It's really great.
That's nice.
(people clapping)
Yep.
I see why he won.
'Cause he's an actual wizard.
(dog barks)
Obie!
Oh that's cool.
What?
(dog barking)
(people clapping)
(dog barking)
Hold on.
Sorry about that.
The dog was barkin' I had someone at the door.
Let's proceed.
(mouse clicks)
Wait, did I miss something? Go back.
What, he took the piece off?!
What?
I'm not sure I understand.
Oh my god, what?
That's pretty sick.
(people cheering)
For those of you asking,
I have no clue.
I mean I have a small clue.
But not even close.
Is he gonna mess me up with his coins too?
That's cool.
Whoa.
My god.
(laughs)
(people clapping)
So cool.
(coins clink)
Stop.
(people clapping)
He could've ended on the other routine,
would've been fine.
This is just overkill.
I'm just dying.
That's it.
(laughs)
(people clapping)
(coins clanking)
His shirt!
(people clapping)
(people cheering)
Damn. (sighs)
Damn.
Honestly, I don't even know how to follow that up.
I hate the title to be The Best Magic Trick in the World.
Clearly, I don't know how people define a trick.
But, that was more than a trick,
that was more than one.
What's this?
(mouse clicking)
Wait, wait. What is this?
(mouse clicking)
(R & B music)
This guy just disappears?
(muffled voices on TV)
That reminds me of like,
did you ever see Heroes?
I feel like that was Hero Nakamura.
Is that a flat wall?
Whoa.
That's pretty cool.
Ah, this is super trippy.
I saw this the other day.
So it's images created by a Japanese neurologist.
If the image is still, you are calm.
If the image moves a bit, you are stressed.
And if it moves like a carousel, you are very stressed.
I mean it's kinda like, moving a bit for me.
How about you guys?
Let me know.
I think it moves for everybody.
I think if you concentrate hard enough,
you can get it to stand still.
I don't think it has anything to do with you being calm.
That's just my opinion.
I think it's just a optical illusion.
But, cool nonetheless.
Ha, ha he cut his apple skin,
and it looks like a low-poly game.
That's funny.
That's actually what I thought it was.
I thought it was pixelated.
And we've got some street magic here boys and girls.
Let's watch it.
(mouse clicking)
Let's see it.
- Oh my god!
(laughs)
- In the bottle.
(coin clinks glass)
- What the (bleep)?
(coin clinks glass)
- What is he doing with the mug on the beach?
(glass shatters)
I mean...
I don't know about this.
This is a little over exaggerated.
They had to crop out the shadow of the crane here.
(laughs)
Alright, enough of that.
The more you look, the less you see.
That's some good palming techniques.
How to properly destroy your deck.
I don't know, I think that's kinda cool.
(mellow music)
That's pretty cool.
I like the bended cards.
I like the use of the bended cards.
That's really cool.
Alright.
I mean, that about wraps it up.
I think we've gone through enough
black magic effery for one day.
My mind has been melted a few times.
I'm okay with that now.
How good was that Fism act though?
I mean, for me that's right up there with like,
Yann Frisch, Shin Lim's act.
Some really interesting ideas,
and I think what impressed me the most is
it's not so much reliant on...
Things that make it work.
But more on the skill that it took,
and the practice in the sleight of hand that he used.
Which really made it magical,
because he's really good.
Yeah, let me know what you guys think.
That's a pretty sick video.
Anyways guys, that wraps it up for today's video.
Also, on the 1st Playing Card V2 news,
they should be ready in late December.
So, as soon as I get a deck,
you guys will be able to see what it looks like.
I'll be taking some pictures,
throwing on my Instagram where you guys can check it out.
But until then, stayed tuned.
They won't be going on presale,
they will be going directly to sell,
as soon as they're in my hands.
Alright guys, thanks for watching.
