- Yo we're here at Magi-Fest in Ohio
which is a magic festival, and today
we're looking for the best magic trick ever at Magi-Fest.
Let's go.
(electronic dance music)
- [Chris] I'm searching for the best trick
at Magi-Fest do you have what it takes?
- I have a couple.
- [Chris] What is that?
- It's a little light bulb off my Jetta.
Here, watch.
- [Chris] Ooh!
Whoa!
Wait, what?!
Get outta here.
Channeling some Harry Blackstone in the place.
- Exactly.
- [Chris] George Iglesias,
I'm looking for the best trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you have what it takes?
- I do have what it takes.
- [Chris] Show me.
- Take a look.
Look. M&M tubes.
You, shuffle them.
Mix them, mix them, mix them.
You get to eat chocolate today, here at Magi-Fest.
I'm going to just take a few.
Okay, so one.
- [Chris] You shouldn't take candies from a stranger.
- (laughs)
- You see?
Trust me.
It's fine.
Okay, so, five colors.
I'm going to say two colors.
You get to eat the one you want.
Keep this in mind.
If you eat it, it disappears.
There's no way back.
But, there is one way back.
We have to wait three hours,
and they all come in the same color.
But, never mind.
Orange or yellow?
Which one would you like to eat?
- [Boy] Yellow.
- Go ahead, take the yellow one, eat it.
Okay, name two colors.
- [Boy] Blue and red.
- Blue or red.
I love the red.
Okay, brown or orange?
- [Boy] Orange.
- Okay, so brown for me.
You ate the one that I wanted.
I ate the ones I wanted.
Blue.
Now, magic.
- [Boy] Holy cow.
- [Chris] Whoa!
- Ask me, how do you do that?
Ask me.
- [Chris] How did you do it?
- With the Magic Tube Tube Tube!
- [Chris] I'm looking for the best trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you have what it takes?
- Oh gosh, I think I do.
Hold on.
I've got it right over here.
Sorry, I was texting someone earlier,
but I can give you some money though, if you want.
- [Chris] What?!
That's incredible.
- [Magician] Yeah.
(laughs)
- [Chris] Nicholas Lawrence.
I'm looking for the best trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you have what it takes?
Ooh!
And that's clean.
- [Nicholas] Clean.
- [Chris] Is it a normal card?
- [Nicholas] Normal.
- [Chris] Genius.
I'm looking for the best trick at Magi-Fest.
- It's not me.
Here, I'll do a card change for you.
- [Chris] Okay.
- You're going to look down.
Can you see?
Yeah. Watch.
- [Chris] Whoa!
- You know.
Magic tricks and stuff.
- [Chris] Zane.
- Yo.
- [Chris] I have something that's
going to make your day.
- [Magician] All right.
You've seen the movie, all right?
You know he comes to life and stabs people?
Have you watched the whole movie?
He's going to come to life again.
Watch very closely.
- (laughs)
- [Chris] Andy, the man himself.
- Hello YouTube!
- [Chris] Andy's responsible,
one of the people responsible,
for this lovely event here at Magi-Fest in Ohio.
We're on the look for the best magic trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you, sir, have what it takes?
- I know what it is.
I don't have what it takes.
- [Chris] Can I see it?
- But I know what it is.
It's this.
It's Rubick's Dream.
- [Chris] Can we get a performance?
- I'll make sure it's mixed.
All right, here we go.
In one second.
- [Chris] Yeah!
- Button's on the light side, if you press it.
No, that's a lie.
- [Chris] Is that a normal cube?
- It's a normal cube.
- [Chris] What's your name? - I'm Bryce.
What's going on?
- [Chris] Bryce? - Yeah.
- [Chris] Do you have a trick you can show me?
- Uh. - [Chris] (laughs)
- I just took my stuff upstairs.
- [Chris] Aw, how convenient Bryce.
- I know right?
- [Chris] All right man.
Nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you.
- [Chris] Thanks, man. - [Man] Thanks.
- [Chris] That'll be $20.
I'm just kidding, I'm kidding. (laughs)
I heard rumors that you might have
the best trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you have what it takes?
- I think I do, I think I do.
- [Chris] Let's see it.
- So it's a way to find a card using the
get out of jail free card from a game of Monopoly.
- [Chris] Right.
- If you watch the card, you'll actually see the moment
that it turns into a playing card.
- [Chris] Show me. Oh!
Okay, that's a little more impressive.
Ooh!
Hello, sir.
- Hello!
How's it going?
- [Chris] How are you?
I'm looking for the best trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you, sir, have what it takes?
Do you have this trick?
- Yes, and it's right over here.
- I have to confess, it's not a trick.
(record skip sound effect)
But it is a great love story.
Actually, this is a love story between you
and a playing card.
- [Chris] Ooh, okay.
- Mark, can you help me out?
It will be between you and the eight of diamonds.
- Okay.
- If you would have to make a choice on this spread,
which card should be the eight of diamonds?
- [Mark] I'm happy with that one there.
- Are you happy with that selection?
- [Chris] Yes.
- Okay, that's very important.
I'll leave the card down here.
Now, you have not seen,
these cards were never shuffled, right?
Correct.
So, if he would have pointed here, or there,
totally different outcome.
Let me show you.
Down here, it would have been spades.
Over here, hearts, and there,
clubs are exactly where you pointed.
And you even changed.
Was, the eight of diamonds.
- [Chris] Ooh! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Now Chris, it's not over yet.
It's not over yet.
- [Chris] What's happening?
- You remember that I told you that it's not a card trick?
- [Chris] Yes.
- Exactly.
You know why?
- [Chris] Why?
- In magic, you should not repeat the trick.
- [Chris] No.
- But in love, there's this thing called the second chance.
- [Chris] Yes.
- So, let me turn over the cards one more time.
Would you point anywhere else?
It's your destiny to find the eight of diamonds.
Which other card would you have selected?
Which other position?
- [Mark] This one.
- Down there? Okay.
You know already what that means for the other card
down here that was the eight of diamonds?
It shouldn't be anymore, right?
Actually, certainly, it is not.
To make all this work, you remember, Chris,
that this deck was never shuffled?
And, to make it work, everything had to rearrange,
just for this particular moment when he touched that card,
to make it the eight of diamonds.
Look at that.
- [Chris] Stop! Stop!
- And certainly, it is the eight of diamonds.
Here, so let's do this.
I will remove all the diamonds.
That leaves us with 39 cards, correct?
- [Chris] Yes, okay, wait, yes.
- All clubs, all hearts, all spades.
Chris, if you would walk down a street with 39 houses,
they are numbered from one to 39.
You start walking.
At which door will you stop and knock on the door?
- [Chris] 11.
- 11, okay.
Now, let's see this.
It's one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Now, here's one thing.
What should happen here, on this 11th card?
I mean, the eight of diamonds should show up there, right?
- [Chris] Yes. - But that also means--
- [Chris] But it could also be the jack of spades.
- Well, first of all, if the eight of diamonds is here,
it shouldn't be here, right?
- [Chris] Correct.
No, it's not.
- And it's not.
Certainly not.
The camera moved away, but everybody here is a witness.
I didn't didn't do any fancy things here.
So, just the top card is the eight of diamonds.
- [Chris] Huuuhhh!
- Now let me tell you,
this is the best trick on this convention.
Try to beat that.
- All right, I think I might have somebody who
might just have the best trick in the whole convention.
Justin, I'm looking for the best trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you have it?
- You know what?
Honestly, I think I do have it.
Awesome, thank you so much.
So what I'm going to do is,
I'm going to make a little indentation.
Just a little one.
I don't know if you can actually see that.
Can you see the indentation right there?
- [Chris] Yeah.
- You guys can see that, right?
- [Chris] Can you guys see the indentation?
- Yeah. - Right. Cool.
Awesome.
We'll do the exact same thing over here in this hand.
Hold out your hand for me.
So watch.
This is really cool.
You can actually take this one,
this first one, and you can actually press it
onto the thumb, and if you press on the thumb,
you can actually press it back onto the other one.
- What?!
Crazy.
- That's blood link.
- [Chris] What's that called, Justin?
- Blood link.
- [Chris] I'm looking for the best trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you have it?
- Yes.
Okay, shuffle.
- [Chris] Okay.
- Okay. And we can pick, can you help me pick any card?
- [Chris] Yes.
- Okay.
Show it.
Ten of spades?
- [Chris] Yep.
- I do so many, so slow.
Very, very slow.
Okay? Okay.
And another cut, cut, and a cut.
And, your finger, put it here.
Yes, okay.
Hold on.
And, think of your card.
And slowly, slowly, relax.
Relax.
We shuffled the deck, right?
- [Chris] Whoa!
- Yes, and wait, wait.
And your card, one, two, shoot!
I saw it shoot.
- [Chris] Ooh!
- Is it your card? - [Chris] Yes, it is!
- Thank you, Wayne. - Thank you very much.
- [Chris] I'm looking for the best magic trick at Magi-Fest.
Do you have what it takes?
- Sure.
- [Chris] Can you show me what it is?
- Okay. - All right, let's go.
Let's do it.
What's up, Chris?
How are you doing?
- Yaaa! Yo!
Buyin' magic.
- [Chris] Is this guy good, or what?
- This? Yeah.
- [Chris] Let's have a look.
- Just say stop when you like.
- [Man] Stop.
- Take this card.
It's a special card.
It's called a mind detector.
Do you have a phone with you?
Give me your phone.
Think about the card that you have picked.
Okay?
- [Chris] Are you thinking about it?
- I'm thinking hard.
- Think about it.
Okay.
Make a face.
This is your card.
No? - [Man] No.
- Now, I've got it here.
Your card is this.
- [Chris] Whoa!
That's not what you were holding.
- Crazy.
Crazy.
- [Chris] Well, if it isn't--
- Hey, girl.
- [Chris] What brings you to this side of the pond,
my friend?
- I'm over here trying to recruit some minions
for a new cult that I'm putting together.
- [Chris] Oh geez.
Count me in.
- Yeah, no, should be good.
Instead of holy water, we're using whiskey.
And instead of praying, we're--
- [Chris] Do they get a tattoo in the middle finger.
- Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
- [Chris] We can't talk about that!
- [Magician] Okay, make sure you see this.
It's both sides of the coin,
turned nice and bronze.
I'll recap it for you.
Now, we're going to change it back.
Marker, stay.
We're going to change it back.
Just going to take the ink right off the bronzing.
There we go.
That's it.
You've got to get it right there,
you've got to get it right.
Now what we do is,
we just need the marker here.
Place the marker inside with the silver coin.
The marker goes here.
Give it a little rub, tap.
There you go.
It turns right back to bronze.
All right, now here we go.
Now, this is simple.
I don't really have that much bronze ink.
So what I'm going to do for you is,
I'm going to change it right back
to the silver coin.
I don't have that much bronze ink.
See?
As a matter of fact, Chris, check this out.
I don't even have a marker.
I don't even have it.
- [Chris] What?!
What's happening?
- I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding.
Actually, check it out.
You can see it change right back to the bronze.
And, right over here, Chris, right over here.
- [Chris] Gah!
- All right, hold on a sec.
Stay! There you go.
Keep that safe.
Now, here's the deal.
Is it bronze, or is it silver?
I can't really tell you for certain.
That's hard to describe.
Now it's simple.
The coin just goes right here,
take the bronze marker.
Slurp.
All the ink comes back, and you've got a silver coin,
just like that.
- [Chris] The challenge is, I'm looking for the best
trick at the convention.
What do you got?!
- I have it.
- [Chris] Let's go!
Let's see it.
- It's called Emojination.
I'm going to think about what you're thinking about
before you think it, and I'm going to
place my decision down.
I'm from New York, so guess what?
I go first.
And, I'm on the table.
I thought of your thought already.
Pick any card you want, place it face down.
Are you happy with that choice?
I put another one down.
I invite you to do the same.
You sure you want that?
- [Man] Yes.
- I know we're being filmed,
so I want you to take your time.
Put your cards down.
Pick up those two cards, hold them one in each hand,
and tell the audience.
I give you a thumbs up, because you didn't
step in the ice cream.
- Heh, very good.
- [Chris] Ohh!
What's your name, sir?
- My name is Ron from RonJo Magic.
RonJo.com, and this is Emojination.
("Magic" by Janet Jones plays)
- [Chris] What's up, Will?
- Hey.
How are you doing, Chris?
- [Chris] What are you going to show me?
- I've got this exciting trick.
It's more exciting than normal, but it uses a deck of cards,
and you can have a card chosen.
This isn't one of those tricks where you like,
lose the card and find it again,
because we already know where it is.
We need something more exciting.
So, if we go like this, right?
(snap)
- [Chris] Whoa!
- Right?
Send nudes?
That's not exciting.
We've all seen that trick before, right?
So if we go like this, and give it a wave like this,
Ooh we can send nukes! (laughs)
That's exciting.
Who else thinks that's exciting?
Aww yeah!
- All right, so guys, there you have it.
That was the best effects at Magi-Fest this year.
Let me know in the comments which ones you thought were
the best, and like this video if you're interested
in that type of thing.
Subscribe if you're new here.
We'll see ya.
Thanks for it.
Peace. Bye.
