  • i feel he is too nervous O)O

  • "Push them together"

    Exactly what I was thinking :D

  • And queen, with misdirection!

    

  • And queen, with misdirection!

  • Fucking hell!

    MIND BLOWN!!

  • wow just wow....

    

  • thumbs up you watched the hole thing

  • I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY, HES HAD PRACTICE, WHATTA MACHINE HE IS GODAMN

  • the first card trick with the five hands was unbelievable. Pure amazement.

  • he palms cards the same way people say Vernon did

  • the girl is so cute

  • "I do it very quickly, but in slow motion so you can follow"

    -Lennart Green

  • Dude that card shot is just MONEY. I can do it, but to get it THAT fast, with THAT much repeatability, is just killer.

  • @supahsekzy He did invent that particular move, he better be that good at it.

  • This ia not shiet

  • when this guy walks into a poker match everyone probably says NOPE we are fucked if this guy plays

  • HOLY SHIT ahahahahahah im flabbergasted

  • I have watched this 37 times. Each time I watch it I'm just as entertained as the first time.

  • hmmm some of his movements gave him away, like at the beer appearing moment and the transforming the deck in one card... these were the most obvious, but he is sure skilled, there were also pretty hard stuff in this vid

  • @ColdGambler Not to laymen, or any magicians who want to figure out the trick instead of enjoying the show.

  • damn it takes a real pro to act clumsy

  • Comment removed

  • This guy is witty,..!!

  • @6223924 You gotta be smart to get this guy's style.

  • 16:36 Master LOL

  • he isnt following the cards, he is using normal mathematical card tricks, or "mentalist" tricks.

    mismag822 explains a lot of the same tricks, but the presentation is different.

    derren brown does the same tricks as well, some explained in his "secret" cardtrick video.

    but fun to watch and if we apply this to our own reality, we can start to look through a lot of bullshit.

  • he is not the best card magician

    I see through a lot of tricks... without looking at it all the time and try to see through it...

  • @Sutekh6 Yeah, hes only FISM world champion.

  • @Sutekh6 then you definitely have no idea how he does the tricks. he as fooled the greatest minds in card magic in the world, who said watching him is like watching real magic.

  • There IS no definitive "this person is the best" of anything. 'Best' is a subjective opinion based on individual tastes. I love Lennart's style, because it appears so chaotic. I also love watching Dan & Dave Buck, because they're so precise. 2 completely different styles, both great. But overall entertainment value, I'd choose to watch Lennart, because I enjoy the performance more.

  • R.I.P ZOE ANDERSON 1986-2010

  • Lennart Green: another suit please.

    random guy: armani

  • Comment removed

  • @lessclues hes not the best do you know daryl he is the master of card magic

  • @jnsmagics It's all relative what speaks to us most. Lennart said in his last dvd that he's far from the best when it comes to technique, but his style of magic is for me the best.

    Just like music, there are way more better musicians than the music I listen to, but I still think my favourite groups are the best

  • @lessclues

    I so much agree with you. It's all about performance at the end of the day. In which DVD does he say that?

  • @MastahMich The dvd is called Master File.

  • Lennart is without no doubt one of the best if not the best. Atleast my big influence on what I do.

  • This man is AWESOME. You can see at 15:35 / 15:36 that he already has the correct card in his left hand though. But his tricks are still AWESOME.

  • What this is called is "Eye Blinding". They move too fast for you to see what they are actually doing. Thus it looks to you like a magic trick. One thing I suppose most of you have seen on stage is when a woman is lying on a table and the table gets drawn out from under her and now she hangs in the air and the magician takes a ring and moves it over and under her to show there's nothing holding her up. Actually there's nobody on stage but the magician. The woman is a hologram video taken of her.

  • @Pantbera .....lol. Please tell me you're attempting to be a comedian. 'Cause you're surely not a magician, if you think a floating woman is done with a hologram video. I use a girl from the audience, and so far none of my audience has been holograms to my knowledge.

  • @cannonbaIIJames Well, it was the only explination I could think of because it's just 2 light beams crossing eachother and nothing solid floating in the air. Light has no weight so there's no chance that the photo or video will fall down out of the air. If he can do it with a person from the audience, he can probably do with a few sets of weights or bricks too don't you think? Why not do it with some of those for once instead of always taking a woman from the audience?

  • @Pantbera You are definitely not thinking like a magician, I can tell you that. The use of a woman to levitate is tradition, as as the assistant in magic acts. But the same concept to float a woman (a real woman by the way) can be used to float pretty much everything else.

  • @Pantbera You can do it with anything, if you know how the trick is done, but for a performance, making a beautiful woman float in mid air gets more response than making a a pile of bricks float or whatever. A magician is NOT a voodoo conjuring sorcerer, we're ENTERTAINERS. We are paid to perform and entertain, provide people with a memorable experience.  That's no different thank asking "Why don't musicians just wear jeans and a t-shirt instead of fancy outfits? Can't they play without it?"

  • Comment removed

  • stop the video 9.37 he had the royal flush in his hand before touching the pile... hes fucken shit

  • @theeleman wow you're smart. He's one of the best close up magicians so far, and you could figure out how he did one simple sleight? you're a genius -.-'

  • ok watch his hand he swaps the glass and puts the hold cup under the table... the clicking noise is a packet of crisps under his arm

  • @theeleman No, he was really breaking his hand before performing close-up magic... that's another magic trick, he magically heals it.... (sarcasm, in case anyone doesn't pick up on that)

  • FUCKING ILLUSIONISTS!!!

  • The girl assisting in this video is Zoe Anderson, daughter of TED's Chris Anderson, and she passed away in 2010 due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

    A true TEDster, Zoe had attended the conference since 2004, and was an extraordinary polymath herself: She held an MsC in Neuroscience, was a scuba dive-master, a gifted painter and photographer.

    A big "fuck you" to the guys saying she's just a dumb blonde, she has accomplished more than you guys ever will.

    Thumbs up so others see and remember her.

  • @brassinyourass18 Wow that's really saddening news. Condolences to her family.

  • @brassinyourass18 i'd bone her.

  • @brassinyourass18 shutup bitch

    

  • @brassinyourass18 Daddy had some friends

  • @brassinyourass18 to be fair, one would not actually know whether the people who comment 'dumb blonde' will not actually accomplish more than she has. u may have very well shown the people who commented out of ignorance the same treatment they have given her.

    just saying.

  • @brassinyourass18 what. the. fuck

  • Comment removed

  • this is definitive proof there are also shill in the croud. to obvious.

  • @LIVEREALFOOLED He did the same routine in front of the judges of FISM, but let the judges be the assistants. That is how he won the world championship in close-up/card magic. It's just him.

  • Comment removed

  • 15:30 an stooge hands him an card from underneath the table. this is wat you pay for.

  • Comment removed

  • That girl us hot as f**k guy dumbs if u think the same thing

  • SHE LOOKS LIKE ASHLEY TISDALE WITH BIGGER BOOBS:p;)

  • HOT MAMACITA;)

  • wtf are the guys laughing about all the time, that first guy that always laughs is so annoying

  • How does he do the trick in 19:00 it is so cool and it boggled my mind

  • @sammyboy60 It's based on lateral palm technique. And Lennart Green is master of it. He uses it very often in his performance. Almost at any trick.

  • "It was AFTER the blindfold". LOL.

    He led everybody so much astray talking that he can afford a moment of genuine, act-breaking truth and nobody takes the slightest of notice :). Good work.

  • Guy has an epic laugh at 8:16

  • BURN THE WITCH

  • Any1 wanna play poker with him?;O

  • 49 people don't know what a deck of cards is!

  • fake

  • @bbenharris1

    Its not fake, he is just a card mechanic, and an extremely good one at that, if u want to find out how he does some of his tricks, he has a few other vids on youtube.

  • @bbenharris1

    look up lennart green snap deal

  • 29:56 NICE ASS!

  • This girl kinda looks like the chick in Keith Barry's TED Talks video

    watch?v=GigYWy2UmOY&feature=re­lmfu

  • brilliant act.

    normally I don't like card tricks but this guy just put a BIG smile on my face.

    anybody who didn't enjoy this is either dead or they have no sense of humour

  • @ 9:29 he gets the cards under the table lol. He is brilliant though..

  • the girl is so cute and the guy is amazing

  • what an amazing, smile-inducing performance.

  • that was a great perfomance..dont care about tricks-magic act.it was a fun half hour video and really enjoy it-i believe that is the perpose in such stuff

  • my brain just exploded inside my head, truly amazing

  • Pulls his jacket..lmfao.

  • Took that ductape off like a bamf

  • the girl might be hot but she has only one expression and apparently the brain of a goldfish

  • @robertojosedgzmoro stay mad virgin

  • @robertojosedgzmoro Dude, she has a degree in neuroscience and graduated with distinction. Compared to her, you have the brain of a goldfish.

  • @miffolol That doesn't even make sense. Don't be jealous cause she's smarter than you, even with an IQ of a toilet.

  • @miffolol Her MsC in Neuroscience would like to differ with you ignorant remark, how stupid do you feel?

  • @robertojosedgzmoro HAHAHAH obviously comes from a virgin.

  • he should be president of the world

  • Je cherche le Lennart Green qui a réalisé les photos en 1963 d'Adrienne Bolland pour la revue "Femmes d'aujourd'hui".

    Est-ce vous ?

    I'm searching for a man called Lennart Green, who realized photographies, in 1963, of the pilot Adrienne Bolland - at home - for the magazine called "femmes d'Aujourd'hui". Are you this man ? It's very important, it's for a book... thank you for responding me.

  • @cbery1 Have you gotten in touch with Lennart? I can ask him of you haven´t gotten an answere.

  • @trolldann, unfortunately, he didn't answer me.

    If you can contact him it will be great. Thank you for helping me. You have my email.

  • love it

  • now that is an awesome trick deck.

    do you know where i can buy it?

  • Comment removed

  • @TheSilentBoom

    yeah it is. it has really thin elastic attached to the bottom of the cards. thats how they vanish.

  • Comment removed

  • @MegaMagicExpert I have to tell you, it isnt a trick deck, it is sleight of hand and all false shuffles :)

  • @MegaMagicExpert Yes... Wal-Mart for about $2. They're called Bicycles.... in other words, it's NOT a trick deck. Lennart has been practicing card manipulation for decades. Most magic stores should have books or videos of his.

  • @cannonbaIIJames I typed Leneord Green into google and got nothing, means you're full of shit, obvious trick deck.

  • @MegaMagicExpert well one reason could be you are spelling it wrong dumbass.

  • @MegaMagicExpert You got nothing ?!? you must be googling in China then .

  • @MegaMagicExpert Real deck. Pure Skill

  • @MegaMagicExpert Maybe because it's Lennart, not Leneord.

    And regular deck of cards. he can do the same with your deck ;)

  • i love that one guy who laughs the first time each time...it is so funny

  • in the very beginning i ended up exactly how he did but the audience didnt..i guess im "magical"

  • Geniuss!! This guy is simply a genius man! =DD

  • This guy is Amazing!!!

  • The girl looks completely dumbfounded at 8:12

  • The fucking camera cut away when he was moving the wrist in the beginning.

    And it's so obvious he's reaching under the table.

  • just a common swedish girl.

  • Imagine this guy playing poker against Ricky Jay!

  • @chri2453

    That would be great! This is the first comment I've ever "liked" in my life.

  • "Push them together"

    EXACTLY what I was thinking XD

  • how do ppl not like this? :\

  • 17:53 haha =]

  • Obvious trick deck. Any jobber can use one and it's not impressive at all.

  • @MrMoRahman You don't really understand nothing, is a normal deck and years of practice. This man is GOD.

  • @MagicKojak No he isn't, he's a bloke using a piss poor trick deck, kind of one you would buy from a joke shop in blackpool. Check out Criss Angel, a real magician.

  • @MrMoRahman Hahahaha, oh, wow. Criss Angel. Good thing you were joking. You were joking... right?

  • @MrMoRahman I supose you are kidding...

  • @MagicKojak When was the last time lennart green walked on water?

  • @MrMoRahman

    I can see that you are here too...I hope you know that criss didnt really walked on water, it was jesus

    one more thing, this isnt a trick deck, this is real sleight of hand pro, I have the DVD that explains the act, you may want to buy it a see by yourself

  • @alonjunior1995 Don't need to buy it, got the trick deck.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrMoRahman

    okay, i understand you are an idiot and you wont believe me anyway, but that still doesnt change the fact that it isnt a trick deck...havent you noticed that everybody says that criss is just fake? dont you think that there are people that really know what they are talking about?

    about the vid i got in my channel- its my son who is just starting in magic

    and about my website? I aint gonna show it to you...

  • @alonjunior1995 One thing I've always admired about Criss is he says right out front, everything he does are ILLUSIONS that he has practiced for months. He's never claimed anything is real. I wish he'd get back to his actual skills rather than all the camera trick rubbish though, because he truly is a great illusionist, and doesn't need to be wasting time on the crap the TV networks are pushing for.

  • @MrMoRahman

    okay, i understand you are an idiot and you wont believe me anyway, but that still doesnt change the fact that it isnt a trick deck...havent you noticed that everybody says that criss is just fake? dont you think that there are people that really know what they are talking about?

  • @MrMoRahman which proves you don't, since it isn't.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheSilentBoom All camera trickery with Lennart too. You can do anything with camera tricks. Angel doesn't need camera trick.s

  • Comment removed

  • @MrMoRahman Ok, at least now I KNOW you're joking.... saying Lennar'ts stuff is camera tricks, and Criss's aren't. I was close to writing you off as a complete and total waste of space on the planet. Make sure your sarcasm is noted earlier on if people seem to think you really are that dumb, and they'll stop insulting you.

  • @MrMoRahman anyone can walk on plastic discs with actors swimming under them without a lot of rehearsal, what Lennart does actually takes YEARS of dedication.

  • @MrMoRahman Please....please tell me you are joking.... I beg of you.....

  • @MrMoRahman And YOU are an idiot. Keep your mouth shut next time, and maybe people won't realize that. But opening it, it's immediately obvious. Lennart is one of the best in the business, that's a normal deck of cards, handled by a man whose been doing this probably longer than you've been alive.

  • @MrMoRahman obivously,you have no idea what your talking about. any jobber with no clue as to what card magic is can easily say trick deck simply because they do not know how a magician does what he does.

    There is not trick deck in the world that can do this. trick decks are limited to ONE trick only.

  • this girl was freakin HOT !!!!

  • this girl is much better then the girl on the Master File

  • That was awesome, and the girl was sexy too

  • Så jävla bra. Synd att tjejen dog tragiskt förra året.

  • i wish he was my uncle!!

  • The secrect behind most these tricks is lapping

  • Best 1/2 h/r spent on You Tube Brilliant.

  • Green Is the Best. Great at what he does! Brilliant

  • Best topshot I have ever seen!

  • @PaulTheillusionist the top shot is his isn't' it?

  • this audience doesn't really appreciate what they are witnessing.

  • Excellent!

  • 8:06 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • this girl just looks like lady gaga

  • that girls face every time he does something is priceless.

  • seriously, half the time i was starring at zoe, and not paying attention to the tricks at all...

  • the magician for magician....damn

    I love the queen with misdirection, probably the best misdirection i've ever seen :P

    brilliant act

  • Pretty obvious that most of the comments made have not done magic, never met the good doctor and don't see his sense of humor.

  • haha...i like the old guy in the background

  • people who speak on TED should replace the US government.....

  • she's hot.

  • @arcticjungle6 anyone who thumbs up the 'shes hot' comment are a bunch of morons.

  • @CommanderSpooky

    yeah i felt like a dick after posting that................ Sincere apology for my immature behavior here, i'm going to remove that comment...

  • except apparently i can't.

  • @kingofkards91 Apparently from carbon monoxide poisoning...but it's subject to further investigation.

  • For those of you who were inquisitive, the girl is Zoe Anderson, daughter of Chris Anderson, TED curator. Unfortunately she passed away last year.

  • @paradigmshift03 How terrible, can I ask from what?
