Reveal The Magic Money Contest - Closed

[TheTimmayProductions]

With very few exceptions this is one of your only effects i can't figure out. Concorde, invisible palm, smooth, i can figure out those ones. But force impossible is just too impossible.

[xrexer]

o.o any1 solved this yet?

The vid got taken down?

[FreeOnlineShooter]

tis true what you are saying!

[MeandmagiC]

is it closed?

[TailSpin215]

i finally figured it out. its MAGIC

[GospelTruthMusic]

Trick 1: She picked up a random (not the KD) Trick 2: Flashy yet simple double lift.

Overall a sloppy performance of a trick. The best part of the prestige of a magic trick is the reaction from a spectator, in this trick the spectator's reaction is part disingenuous which a true magician would never allow. My op

[CardsOnFire2010]

i think since it was a newish deck that the card she chose had a different feeling to it, so you controlled it to the top asked to think of a different card, and when she signed it you switched the cards. am i right? or semi-right?

[GriffinWatt]

double stick tape

[faquiado]

easy trick here it is : you have some mentalism power, lol im joking i love you mark =)

[SamsTheatre]

what happened with the contest? are there 28 people that know it now?

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@SamsTheatre

No one guessed it yet. We have been thinking of closing the contests and we may do that soon, but as long as no one guessed it we don't think it's a huge problem to keep them open for now.

[DSMKings]

ok ive figured it out i believe. where do i submit my idea? message me please

[pepi560]

its a double lift, am i right?

[GeeSleightS]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS OMG!!!

[CtheAmazing17]

i think i only know the ending even though it is probroly wrong i will try. So i think the 10 of spades is a rough card from an invisable deck and the rest ofd the cards are smooth so when she signed what she though was the 10 of spades it was really her card it was just stuck really good to the face of her card.

[deadmanavir]

you seem very experience in magic and your tricks makes me crazy ... so can u plz do a video on how to deal with hecklers plz.

[Jarmer]

You all need to respect what Mark is saying here: the ART and the PERFORMANCE! sure, you may see the reveal videos and know the method, but not a single person I've ever seen can perform this art as well as Mark can. Also: waxed decks, or mirrored sunglasses? Cmon people, try just a LITTLE harder.

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@rydogg6016

Sorry, the sunglasses don't have anything to do with it nor is there a marked deck. Also, she already knew what the cards felt like because of the shuffling and checking so that would've ruined the rest you described. However, don't get me wrong, I appreciate it a lot that you gave it a try!

[rydogg6016]

Read my first comment first

[rydogg6016]

when he is doing this he secretly puts magic wax on the face of the card than the spectator chooses another card the magician puts second from top making it look like it is on top of the deck than he lifts both of them so the card she choose before is the card she is signing the back of it.

[rydogg6016]

What you do is simple you need magic wax a marked deck of cards and gimmicked sun glasses these sunglasses have mirrors built into the side and you can see behind you. The spectator mixes up the cards and looks at one The magicain reads the back of the card she shuffles it in when the magicain shows her its a normal deck of cards when he gets to her card he slides it to the top of the deck by pushing the card to the top from underneath the faned cards

[slv1993]

Dude i love You

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@Blijlogg

That's fine. And thanks so much!! I appreciate it a lot!

@Kroy23

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to get some vision or dream any soon so that you could figure it out. Though, keeping my fingers crossed would make it very hard for me to do any magic.

@646426

If you don't agree with anything I said in this video, you don't have any respect for the art of magic. I guess you couldn't figure out the trick huh?

[646426]

and your a retard saying everything is disrespectful

[Kroy23]

well.... this was a good one. I think it was some sort of "double-lift" type move to make you think the card was the 10S, wit some double sided tape, but how you got the KD pegged out as her card I can only say X-ray Glasses

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@Blijlogg

Well said and thought. Any ideas yourself?

[Bijlogg]

to be honest Mark, not really, you completely fooled me, and I think for that reason I won't sit here watching it 100 times and coming up with crazy explanations, I will enjoy it for what it is, which is an extremely good and extremely clean magic, whatever you did, you did it amazingly well.

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@tigerpiggypoo

Finally someone who gives 'Crystal Method' a try! I've been waiting for it since the very beginning of the contest, yet I'm sorry that I have to disappoint you.

Though, if you could reproduce the whole routine, give it a try! That way you can still win $50. It must include the spectator shuffling etc.

Also, my sunglasses don't have anything to do with it.

Thanks a lot! And please keep it coming!

[tigerpiggypoo]

I also believe that is not the only gaff in play, I can't see if you're wearing glasses in the performance of your trick, but if you are than I believe that you are using Mindshades

by Peter Loughran or at least a similar type of glasses to achieve the knowledge of the card the spectator picked while your back was completely turned. If you combine gaffed glasses with a memorized stack than this effect is totally possible.

[Bijlogg]

doubtful, the way the cards were mixed around it would be impossible to know which position the chosen card game from, in addition to that, the spectator shuffled remember? at the very best using your method you could get a very rough idea of what the card was, maybe narrow it down to one of 10... then you still wouldn't know where the card was in the pack exactly, again maybe approximately. There's too many things to go wrong with what you're suggesting for it to be a likely explanation.

[tigerpiggypoo]

I am 100% confident that I have figured out the gimmicked part, the gimmicked part is without a doubt the signature transposing from the ten of spades onto the king of diamonds. I don't want to go to far into detail because I am a magician myself and I don't agree with exposure, but I will say that I am 100% confident you are using Crystal Method by Darius to achieve the signature transposition.

[MarkHilkemeijer]

Thanks to all contestants! My email inbox is exploding!!

@whiterix

I'm very glad you like it!

@Matzes

I got nothing to lose. The prize money is only a part of what I made with the 'Force Impossible' release back in the day.

What's in there for me is that I truely love to be entertained by people who expose tricks and/or consider themselves to be magicians yet fail completely at this. The fact that the rest of the community could join as well is because I want to see how solid the routine is.

[Matzes]

why would you do that? what s in it for you? I don t understand ;)

[whiterix]

yup yup

aaawsome trick XD

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@vinavi

I made a new one about three days ago!!

@flowertrue

*blushes*

If anytime you watch the video and look at 'that-you-have-to-look-at' by accident, you could still join if no one else figured it out yet!

@Jarmer

Come one man, the contest got released only six days ago, on the 20th. Give people time to watch this video another hundred times to figure it out eventually.

@etvoilaetoij

My thoughts exactly!

[etvoilaetoij]

LOL, mismag822 was very wrong indeed. He's a youtube partner because of magic tutorials??? Wow!

[Jarmer]

nobody has figured it out yet eh?!?! I don't think anyone ever will, Mark is just that good.

[flowertrue]

lol its cute how you say "I have a challenge ... for you!" Well I get curious about how magic tricks are done, but I know better than to ask.! There's no way I could figure out that trick!

[vinavi]

This one is a good trick to make a contest. When you will invent another new technique :-)

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@vinavi

I'm very glad that you agree. ^^

@Avivakova

Your tutorial isn't detailed enough to reproduce the routine, sorry. lol.

[Avivakova]

What a great idea to do a competition! I found it interesting that she told you what her card was before you revealed her card...so you might not have known what it was before hand.

Awesome trick though :)

[vinavi]

I agree mate with you that people shoudn't make tutorials on the internet. Good luck with your challenge :-)

[MarkHilkemeijer]

@MckaysProductions & Jarmer

I'm sorry guys. =( If ever you'll have a dream which includes the methods I hope that you'll join and win!

@mismag822

Sir, you're very very wrong with quite everything you said. The routine would be in no way exactly the same if the front would've been signed.

@DruggedFox

You're a good and smart guy but please don't worry too much about mismag822. I appreciate it though, and you must be right about that he' s thinking too high of himself but well..

[Druggedfox]

Why you removed your comment about the thing with the 10 of spades? How suspicious is that! Shame on you.

[Druggedfox]

What if she put the sign onthe back the king and then that goes onto the ten's back? Mark released this effect with these promises so you must be wrong. I think you abuse your partnership and amounts of subscribers to get this contest down somehow.

[mismag822]

You have no Common Sense. The fact that he gave her a choice to sign the front or back PROVES my point that this is a farce.

[Druggedfox]

It only proves that you don't have the knowledge to figure it out. If he wanted her to put it just on the back he obviously would say that, fake or not. I even think that if she would put on the front it would be more convincing because then the card ends up with two signs, one on the front and one on the back.

[Druggedfox]

Mark, I think you should get rid of mismag822 at least. He sees things that aren't there like that she pointed at the 10 when you asked where she saw it and things. He must think he's god with his magic tutorials but you were totally right with what you said in this video. Well done man!

[mismag822]

Also notice at 2:37 how tight he holds the signed card up to the camera, and how careful he is not to expose the side angle showing that it is two cards.

[mismag822]

FRAUD

[mismag822]

She is your accomplice. If she signed the front of the card the trick could NOT possibly work. This is a JOKE!

[Druggedfox]

Isn't an accomplice a stooge or false spectator as said in the subtitles? And maybe the effect would been different if she signed the front. As he released it I don't think this could be a joke.

[mismag822]

Every Magician's assistant (the beautiful Women)

are in on the trick. They use identical twins, and all sorts of gimmicks to fool the audience.

How could it have been different if she signed the front of the 10? You think the signature would have been on the front of the king? Impossible.  It would be obvious that two cards were signed. She had to sign the back since back are backs are the same.

Like he says ... magic is in the performance, NOT the trick.

This was a performance.

[etvoilaetoi]

it must be something like crystal method by darius you obvoiusly dont know like said before. it is possible to make a sign jump from front to front. shame on you man!

[Jarmer]

yeah I have no chance either, but I really like the challenge and am interested to see how many people try and figure it out.

[MckaysProductions]

Damn your right there's 5 tricks you do i can't figure out. Your signed force impossible blew my mind so i think i have no hope winning lol.
