- Yo, what's up guys and welcome back
to.. the.. future!
See what I did there?
I have my lovely spectator today, uh, Pigeon Head.
This is Antoine.
- What's up?
- Antoine is coincidentally,
actually the worst spectator on the planet.
Doesn't react to anything,
so having this mask is actually helping.
You're dripping a little bit.
Antoine, do you have a quarter?
- Yeah.
- I'm going to show you something cool.
Luckily he just so happens to have a quarter.
Uh, here, hold your hand out, this one hear.
Nope, right here.
Now, can you bring the camera in a little bit.
Just right there, perfect.
I want you, Antoine, to close your hand.
Don't move.
(R&B music)
So, what's gonna happen now Antoine is
we're gonna go back in time
to that moment when you gave me that quarter.
- Okay.
- And it was in your hand.
Slowly open your hand for the camera.
God damn it!
It didn't work, hold on don't move.
Sometimes it gets you,
you know time and space can be linked
and fus..ah, ah!
Right here, look.
Is it, ew it's kinda gross.
Sorry it was here.
Try it one more time.
And there it goes, and now it should be, oh still no.
Close your hand.
Open your hand.
Close it, open it.
Well,
oh wait.
I might have got the wording confused.
See, when time traveling
you're actually wearing a watch right now.
- Yeah.
- Slowly turn your hand over
and look under your watch.
Look, Look, look.
(R&B music)
- Just, just undo it.
- Right here, right here.
Boom.
There you go sir.
Under your watch the entire time, your quarter.
How did he do it?
Let's find out, thanks for sticking around.
Yo what's up guys and welcome back.
Happy Halloween, thank you for joining me.
Even though it's November 1st.
This was filmed on Halloween,
which explains this, but not really.
Cause I'll wear this any day.
Thank you to Antoine, my lovely bird spectator.
Who's the worst spectator in the world.
With his help today, I'm gonna actually show you guys
how to plant a quarter under someone's watch.
And the routine that I use for this is a bit different
than just simply putting a quarter under someone's watch.
There's a little added layer to it,
so it's harder for the spectator to reconstruct it.
We're gonna get into that.
All you need is grab yourself two quarters,
or whatever denomination coins that you have
in your country.
You actually only need one,
and the other one can be borrowed.
So, I would keep one, here's where your going to keep it.
So, your spectators here, um,
normally I would keep it in this ear over here,
because that's the ear that's
facing away from the spectator.
Now, in the video here in the performance,
I put it in this ear
cause I didn't want the camera to see it.
So, I was kinda like, directing Antoine to turn this way,
and I was like didn't want him to see it.
Although he wouldn't react anyways.
So, uh you want to keep it in this ear,
and it kinda just fits in there.
Don't use a dime or a penny.
You don't want it lodged in there
and end up at the hospital.
Uh, but here you go, boom, look at that.
It's almost like an earbud.
It's almost like listening to music.
(Hip Hop Music)
Except you can hear currency.
Here's the other thing,
so the quarter your gonna borrow from them.
First thing you want to access,
so say the watch is on this side, over here.
Then, then quarter is on this side.
Let's say you had it on the other wrist,
well then obviously,
I would be over here and the quarter would be over here.
Because now, we would need to use this side, right?
But because he has it on this side,
we're going to go here.
We're gonna ask for that quarter,
and uh I'm gonna ask him to hold his hand out.
And you can come in a little closer here Lee.
So, what your gonna want to do here is
known as a false transfer.
Uh, once you take their quarter
you're gonna put it in your hand like this.
Right on this part of the hand
and squeeze down just a little bit.
Now, you see how that nests nicely in there.
And it kinda looks natural.
And with the false transfer,
woop, and that's it, right?
So, it stays here, but your gonna pretend to do it there.
Now, a good way to practice this is actually,
take a quarter and drop it in your other hand
and make it look as natural as possible.
Right, so you can't tell when I did it
and when I didn't do it.
And that's the whole idea.
Once you get that down pat,
you're here and quickly once I do this,
I'm gonna close this hand,
I'm gonna use these fingers to direct his hand
as if he made a mistake.
And be like, so put your hand down.
As soon as his hand comes up, in this non moment,
is when you are doing this here.
Okay, so now he thinks obviously it's over here.
Now, normally sleeves can be rolled up.
I'm wearing this silly outfit, so it's kinda difficult,
but at this point it's already under his watch.
As you can see, right there.
So, as for the quarter, he is gonna give it to me
and I'm gonna say, can you and
I'm gonna direct him to lift his hand up.
Can you give me your hand?
As that's done, I'm going like this.
Pretending it's over here,
grabbing his hand to sorta direct him,
so I'm using this hand as my fists close,
because it's supposed to be in here.
This hand over here, simply going to sorta tap him
on the arm like that.
Now, you're not gonna feel that.
As I move in here's what's happening, and that's it.
And you can angle, see he's wearing a metal clasp watch.
And that's a little bit more slippery
than someone who would wear, like, a leather clasp watch.
Right, so this ones a little bit looser.
So what I actually have to do here,
which is a little bit harder,
is once it's there I have to sorta balance it there.
Because if he lifted his arm right now, it would fall out.
No, actually it's petty good.
So he's never going to feel that in a million years
that it's there.
So, here we go, he gave his hand,
I go here, I slipped it under, now it's already there.
At this point, I can say no no right here.
So I'm adjusting his hand as if he made a mistake.
And that's what we call an off moment, an offbeat.
When you create a beat in a routine,
that doesn't mean anything.
It's so irrelevant to the spectator,
that's he's going to forget that we even did that.
It's just and adjustment, is all it is.
Hold your hand here, no right here perfect.
Alright, now the trick starts in his mind.
Although we are way ahead
and the quarter is already behind his watch.
Remember, the quarter is supposed to be here,
I'm gonna go like this, I'm gonna say close your hand.
I say it's gonna travel through time,
to the second that you pulled it out of your pocket
and you gave it to me, open your hand.
And now there's this sorta this down beat.
It didn't happen, hmm.
Sometimes, you know, space and time are intertwined
and things get a little messed up, so ah!
Actually, look here,
and that's where you direct them to your ear.
So now you're way ahead,
all we have to do now is make this coin vanish.
So what we're gonna do here is we're gonna take that,
same exact thing, but instead this time we're going to
pretend to throw it up in the air.
And while that's happening check down here.
I'm already loading it into my pocket,
so it happened so quickly, you're here, boom.
Right, and it's gone.
So at this point it's under his watch
and it's completely disappeared from my hands.
Now, if I wasn't wearing these super suspicious sleeves
that I can actually hide a small child in,
like, it would probably look better, but I, you know.
Obviously do this in a t-shirt.
So you're here, boom, gone.
And it's completely gone.
So that misdirection, is just a natural misdirection.
When you're doing a false transfer,
if I do this, that's super suspicious doing this this.
Right, your like, uh if it's not here it's got to be there.
So I don't want to give them time to that.
I want to give their eye something to focus on.
So if I'm here, and I'm gonna throw it.
Now all of a sudden their eyes go up.
They are looking for it in the air.
And in that one second all I'm doing
is dropping that in my pocket and
then bringing my hand back up
and I can clap my hands together, show them that it's empty.
And tell them, no no no you're coin has
actually, traveled back in time under your watch.
So again the whole routine.
This goes in the ear, Antoine's gonna hand me a coin.
You got another one?
- Nope.
- Antoine do you have a coin?
- I do.
- Thank you sir.
Actually, could you hold that hand out please?
No right here please, yeah.
Now watch, close your fist.
Want you to keep an eye on the coin.
It's gonna travel back in time.
Open you're hand, it's not there.
Hmm, ah oh!
Sometimes it gets lost in space time.
Hold on, let's try it one more time, gonna see a little.
Just like that, and now I can.
Now when I did that at first, the second time,
when I had this vanish and I dropped it here.
You heard like a little noise,
that's because I had my phone in my pocket.
Good idea is probably keep that pocket empty
without anything in it.
Because you don't the want it clinking around.
You want no sound when you're doing this.
That's all you want.
Cause if I have another quarter in there,
you're gonna get this sound.
(coins clinking)
you know, and it kinda throws it off, so you definitely
don't want to have anything in your pockets.
Small extra tip, but that's it.
That's as easy as it is.
If you're not comfortable doing anything under their watch,
and you want to work on something else in the meantime.
You can practice on their shoulders.
You can say, hold your hand out.
No right here like this.
Close your fist.
Open.
On your shoulder.
Actually, right here look.
Move your.
Yeah, all these cool things you can do
with misdirecting them.
You can actually put that in your pocket.
You can say, hold your hand out.
No right here, so if I step in and
they have like a side pocket.
The quarter is here, I'm just going to feed it into
his pocket as I step forward.
And he's feeling me sorta close to him already,
he's not going to notice that that's going into his pocket.
So there's all sorts of really cool ideas you can do.
I love the watch thing
because it ties into the whole time travel theme.
And you can do it with cards,
obviously you can do it with coins or little objects,
little paper billets or anything of that nature.
That's it, hope you guys enjoyed the video.
A quicky today, just wanted to come on here.
