That could be the psychological part of the trick. I think it's that when he's explaining it to the guy, he applies pressure to his foot when he want's him to drop his arm and releases when he wants him to raise it. And that association between the pressure on his foot and the movement of his arm subconsciously tells him what to do.
Lol magic...sad they call it that have they ever heard of "plants" that's what those people were, if real magic exists it does not exist on television
Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
After the short pause at 1:00 his elbow is pressed up against his chest, but before the pause, his arm was straight. He is clearly deceiving those people by giving them the directions and though changing the outcome, he still manages to have the audience believe they did something wrong when they in fact did everything correctly. Brilliant!!!
hahaha .. w 1 tricku widać że jak kamera pokazała publiczność to on obrócił rękę i mógł normalnie je odwrócić.. poza tym wszystko podstawione.. niezły "magik"
these tricks are very generic tricks...the car trick all he was doing was listening to her and feeling her movements in the vehicle and from that he could get a estimate on when and where to turn, the hand moment trick was so simple and retarded.. all he had to do was feel them out and then he would have an idea how they would react, and the cup trick that was very dangerous... that's a very very sketchy trick that could easily go wrong.
At 7:42 he puts a rubber band or something on his finger. This is really obvious when a few seconds later when he says "I walk around night clubs all night like this" there is obviously something dangling from his finger. Full screen at 360p shows it.
When he is doing the hand trick he points (breaking his hand hold) into the audience when he says "yours is the other way so flip it around" and he flips his hand when putting them back together when the camera is on the audience
I think he flipped his left hand 180 degrees in the seconds after 1:00 while the camera was on the audience. That doesn't seem fair at all for when you watch it in video.
Also the spiked cup trick was easy, he moved 3 of the 4 cups so if the spiked cup was heavier he would know that one of the cups he grabbed had the spike. Also if all 3 that he felt were the same weight then he knows its the 4th
He spoiled all of his tricks, really all he does is deception.
Like with the girls back it looks like he touches it when he is checking if her eyes are closed, of course when he asks the girl he doesnt specify time frame.
Also with the guys arms it is very likely considering the table cloth he just put pressure on the guys foot and showed the audience him "putting pressure" on his hand.
Really, it looks to me like hes taking advantage of the volunteers unawareness of what he is doing
He's touching her back when he's pretending to check if her eyes are closed. And just before he's coming close to her arm, he attaches some kind of thread on he's hand (7:44)
He's either playing on his own magic, using attention and deception with plants and rigged props, or if it's actual kinesis then he's using the demonic. THAT's the real deception.
Respond to this video... as he " corrects" someone in the audiences thumb being on the wrong side which u would not need to adjust ur entire hand u have full movement of ur thumbs but keith barry takes his hands out of the original position then as he demonstrates how to do it correctly he puts his hands in a different position but its rlly hard to make out which finger is which with 10 intertwining and being limited to the one cameras angle of view
@thefanofcards13 At 1:01 Hes telling someone to put his hands around, then the camera turns away and he switches his hands. Just compare the hands at 0:57 and at 1:04
@thefanofcards13 I guess when he told people to make sure the left thumb is outside the right thumb, he quickly changed his hand position (and the camera direction are changed too). Just my opinion and I'm not so sure...
@hunterblade100 That's exactly what he does, I had an illusionist explain it to me. I told him I was interested in learning a bit of magic and I had just helped out in his show (where I pretended various things, like getting an electric shock for example). So being on friendly terms he shown me how to do this. It's basically misdirection and switching hands. So 10/10. :)
@thefanofcards13 Unfortunately there is a pivotal camara break at a crucial change he does, but, just so I don't spoil the pleasure of discovery, try doing the whole exercise backwards. ;)
The first trick ,was he switch his hands that's why you see the video cut right after keth says to a guy In the audience you have it the other way around n let's go of his hands
The trick at 11:00 you can see when she moves her finger , keth moves his leg...he's putting pressure on the guys foot n releasing pressure when the girl moves her finger ..
the one where he gets the woman to pull up her sleeves is so obvious. when he is moving his hands around her arms he says he isin't touching her but he DOES....he just has quick hands. the touch is very slight and this is why her sleeves are rolled up, so she can feel the slight touch...if u notice he says to her NOT TO TLK TILL HE ASKS HER.....this is cause he wants to wait till he touches the guy for show and then asks her...u can see that she is not fully certain of the touch
LOL people ar guessing all wrong. He is moving his hand down because he doesnt want to mess it up for the crowd, Keith Barry even admits its fake. The pressure to do the trick correctly is what makes everything happen. That is why some stuff didnt happen exactly at the same time.
10:35-11:25 Every time he wants the man with the long hair to lift of lower his arm, he gives him somekind of sign with his left leg (just watch it, it's really obvious once you see it). Lame :s, just confirms my disbelief, although I hoped it could be real
@LivingTheFantasy its a mentalist :) so its not mend to be real its the point to mislead LOL thats what he says in the beginning :) the art to misdirect attention.. its fun :)
@LivingTheFantasy He's not claiming to do real magic. He's claiming to be brilliant at deception. That's what all magicians claim. I've never understood this thing, where people expect this stuff to be real. The brilliance is in the performance and execution. The camera angle in this case was unfortunate. No one in the audience could have seen his leg move.
He is manipulating his brain. It's not about being some Chris Angel guy, it's about manipulating the human brain. He is doing it by releasing a pressure on the other guys leg.
@LivingTheFantasy He moved his leg once upon the downward motion there was no leg motion. Review if you want but im right. Maybe its not as "lame" as you think.
@LivingTheFantasy The secret is ambiguous phrasing. The spectator was probably not planted but Barry pressured the guys leg or foot. Note: the guy never says where he feels the pressure. All our direction is focused on the hand, because he does some 'voodoo' around it, implying the pressure will be there. The spectator has his eyes closed and doesn't see the gestures and thus, isn't misdirected. Exactly the same with the girl. Watch his right hand go behind her back at 7:19.
As you can see the minute 11:05 when she lifts up his arm, Keith gives the signal to the other guy raising his left leg ... as well as the minute 11:16 Keith puts down his leg, I think tapping the foot of the boy, and it automatically puts his arm ...
Keith tease someone else please!
(Keith và a prende per il culo qualcun altro!)... italian version!
close look between 7:43 & 7:45 looks like stretching thing like rubberband between two hands, look his leg @ 10.47 looks like making gesture to the person to indicate to raise his arm..,..... totaly fake.... these are the magician's tricks just to fool the people....
Haha, in another video I saw of him where he does the raise the arm lower the arm thing, he definitely moves his leg, letting the person know when to move. Quite annoying.
Is the car ride as simple as seeing through the blindfold or what? A ride that long with years of training isnt possible to do blindfolded. Humans can even walk straight blindfolded.
And it's weird how he made the guy "guide" him to the first two cups. Then the last two he grabbed the guys hand and put it right over the them haha. But pay attention at 17:15 its pretty suspicious what he did what the blindfold. Seems like he flipped it around or something.
For the cup trick. If you look at the way he holds the man's hands carefully you'll see it. For the ones without the spike he holds his hands at the wrist, letting the man's three fingers show. (Pay close attention) For the last cup, the one with the spike he covers all of the mans hands, hanging all his fingers over the man's fingers also. He is doing the two last cups at the same time, so compare the way he holds them.
@sofiasmiley Yup, classic magician's trick. Note that when he mixes the cups up, he can watch the cups directly to look for the mark. All he then has to do is watch the last mix-up through the blindfold and guide the man to the last cup...
soon as the guy gets on there his phone rings, yet no1s phone rings throughout the whole entire thing. it was rang on purpose to use reverse psychology to make you believe it wasnt planned lol..... ez
he says its fake and a mind trick at start...why is everyone making it such a issue..its abt deceiving the mind..he says that at the start.does he say that he is a magician?? no ryt!
I must be in a really dark place for me to even write that comment in the first place, I take back my words.
I guess at the point in time, I think of Ted as an event that teach or make one think, not an event to be befuddled [I learned this word from the Big Bang Theory ;p] that doesn't lead to any higher knowledge.
Again, it's not for me to say what Ted should be like, I am in a better place now, my mind is now more open ;p
@Bracerjack I don't want you to think that I hold anything against you for something you said in the past and now clearly regret, because I don't. However, I think you should recognize that "cheap magic tricks" are valuable for more than to "befuddle" alone. I believe that the arts offer far more valuable lessons and disciplines than we give them credit for. I believe that to say that "magic tricks" exist to befuddle and lead to no higher knowledge is severely inaccurate.
for the cup trick: the wooden cup holder with the rod in it has a small fishing wire taped to the bottom so it is really hard to notice unless you know it is there
THAT is also the reason why there is a dark table cloth
@XODaMAg3OX Oh I suppose something like that would explain it and then perhaps he guides the 'victim' to where he wants him to go. Clever tricks though.
idiots who get up an believe.... why think of negative energy...... dont try and things will happen anyway proving its all fake :S idiots with open mind she said she didnt believe in vodoo but she expected it all to work anyway hence... shes a idiot
I would suggest that .".Occam's razor" be applied here . when presented with several possibilities of understanding .. the one that has the least objections.. is probably right.. This guy said outright he was going to trick you
Guys...of course this is bloody fake! its a magic trick!!!! the point is the way he does it and the way he directs attention away from simple actions so it seems like magic. jeez
To everyone who said that this was stupid and that keith suks after the trick was revealed, ur all dumbasses. i admit i was tricked first time through, and i bet a whole lot of you were and those of u who r trying to hide their foolish pride by saying how obvious the trick was, and how only stupid people cant see it: stfu.
Coke bottle: the shard of 'glass' is actually a chemical that mixes with a small amount of another chemical that's already in the bottle and creates an explosive reaction. Ask Bill Nye.
1. the plinth with the spike is very subtly different from all the others in a way you'd have to know to identify it. He notes which it is when he rearranges them, and notes which cup it is, because:
2. the sides of each cup have a very subtle unique texture that he feels for when holding the volunteer's hand over them. As for the volunteer guessing correctly each time, that was probably just blind luck. Magician's patter could easily cover any outcome.
Driving: the hood can be seen through, faintly. In the process of putting it on, he nudges the blindfold down just enough to see over it. At the end, he just surreptitiously put it back into position as he was coming to a stop, suspecting she'd pull it off like he did for her.
Hands: when he points at the person in the audience he changes his hand position.
Voodoo touch: Right after he says "beware of the sensations" for the last time and goes into his hocus pocus hand gestures, he quickly puts his arm behind her back to poke her. For the arm part, the sleeve of his jacket brushed against her.
"Pressure": He was just pressing on the guy's foot. But he's not a plant; pay close attention and consider what knowledge he has as the trick goes on.
@XMrMagicmanX Right at around 7:47 when he's moving his hands around her arm. It's extremely obvious once you see it; you can even see her smile when she feels it.
@XMrMagicmanX Actually, you may be right. It looks like he slips something onto the finger of the hand that went above her arm -- probably a piece of invisible thread that just dangles down. Either way could work.

@sk8rdman
I must be in a really dark place for me to even write that comment in the first place, I take back my words.
I guess at the point in time, I think of Ted as an event that teach or make one think, not an event to be befuddled [I learned this word from the Big Bang Theory ;p] that doesn't lead to any higher knowledge.
Again, it's not for me to say what Ted should be like, I am in a better place now, my mind is now more open ;p

@Bracerjack I don't want you to think that I hold anything against you for something you said in the past and now clearly regret, because I don't. However, I think you should recognize that "cheap magic tricks" are valuable for more than to "befuddle" alone. I believe that the arts offer far more valuable lessons and disciplines than we give them credit for. I believe that to say that "magic tricks" exist to befuddle and lead to no higher knowledge is severely inaccurate.

I wonder how many times the cup thing went wrong?...
rrenni 4 months ago
for the cup trick: the wooden cup holder with the rod in it has a small fishing wire taped to the bottom so it is really hard to notice unless you know it is there
THAT is also the reason why there is a dark table cloth

Coke bottle: the shard of 'glass' is actually a chemical that mixes with a small amount of another chemical that's already in the bottle and creates an explosive reaction. Ask Bill Nye.

Cups:
1. the plinth with the spike is very subtly different from all the others in a way you'd have to know to identify it. He notes which it is when he rearranges them, and notes which cup it is, because:
2. the sides of each cup have a very subtle unique texture that he feels for when holding the volunteer's hand over them. As for the volunteer guessing correctly each time, that was probably just blind luck. Magician's patter could easily cover any outcome.
cameronmcd 6 months ago
Driving: the hood can be seen through, faintly. In the process of putting it on, he nudges the blindfold down just enough to see over it. At the end, he just surreptitiously put it back into position as he was coming to a stop, suspecting she'd pull it off like he did for her.
cameronmcd 6 months ago 3
Hands: when he points at the person in the audience he changes his hand position.
Voodoo touch: Right after he says "beware of the sensations" for the last time and goes into his hocus pocus hand gestures, he quickly puts his arm behind her back to poke her. For the arm part, the sleeve of his jacket brushed against her.
"Pressure": He was just pressing on the guy's foot. But he's not a plant; pay close attention and consider what knowledge he has as the trick goes on.

@cameronmcd when at anypoint in that video did he brush his sleeve off her arm? thats not hows its done.
XMrMagicmanX 3 months ago
@XMrMagicmanX Right at around 7:47 when he's moving his hands around her arm. It's extremely obvious once you see it; you can even see her smile when she feels it.
cameronmcd 3 months ago
@XMrMagicmanX Actually, you may be right. It looks like he slips something onto the finger of the hand that went above her arm -- probably a piece of invisible thread that just dangles down. Either way could work.
