String Theory

[DonaldDark]

wow men your tricks are fantastic!

[RobloxVideoMaker1337]

DAMN DUDE! YOU ARE AMAZING!

[TheDeadPuppys]

dumbasses, watch his mask removal video, it shows how good he is with video effects, which is how he does this too.

[Ubsiqeqown]

@TheDeadPuppys dumbasses for not watchin the other videos....

[DJVendetta23]

it makes me sad to think MadV bailed on us to do whatever he does now. I bought a mask and set up my page and even made my DJ name after watching his videos. When I first saw him he inspired me but like all great things, he left to do his own thing. Thats the problem with the world, its too easy to find something better... we dont appreciate what we have, ever

[powerfulmoster123]

@DJVendetta23 hes back now

[sexybot3000]

The string is behind his ear and the trick is called hammer or the levitator there 10 bucks online; )

[link42792]

@sexybot3000 Hummer.

[9cloudersprofile]

@sexybot3000 Im afraid thats not true.

[benikaya]

sick watching this almost 5 years later... this video made me start magic like 4-5 years ago and now im a magician... just because of this video... crazy...

[SCL1503]

pretty good for a dead anarchist

alexis fraud

[rocketgnomes]

good very good

[zetakon]

what song is this?!!?!?

[greekzerochances]

@zetakon Trip Like I Do

[zetakon]

can somebody tell me what the song is? >.>

[ZeppelinManiac]

@zetakon Can't You Trip Like I Do - Crystal Method

[garra1300]

whats the song called?

[theCHA70]

why a mask?

[xNinjaKingx]

i think i could see how it could work O_O

[kentzkentz]

everyone knows,it's not magic,but it's genius :)

[stefankoson]

does the actual real MadV have an account?

[bdbfighting]

can anybody tell me how does he do that

[link42792]

Wow... Lol. It's the hummer card trick. I have it. You get a string and you take a single strand of it, impossible to see unless laid out on white freakin paper. You get some magicians was and put it on the card and behind your ear. That's how it works.

[powerfulmoster123]

@link42792 hes waves is hands over and under the card how can something be attached

[TheGreatMeow]

Fuck!! how they can do that trick!! =)

[kekcba1]

How does he do that?

[BDsunny987]

This isn't that difficult. He has a string running horizontally across his room at about where his chest is, with another string hanging vertically from it with the card on the other end. It makes a T shape.

[Dragonicafan]

well, how you do it?

[salgadodylan]

how u do that?

[RoFLDraGoNxD]

What happened to madv ?

[yippyyo1]

Why can't I find any of the real madV uploads?

[bigmarso]

Guys, its not a magnet xD. He just edited it into the video.

[rockboy365987826]

Magnets, I have one of those.

[boonie1994]

my friend had one of these in class, its just magnets.

[MrBibber]

Thank you very much for uploading his Videos! I'm very sad he isnt that active anymore on youtube.. :( I miss his tricks.. But his actual videos are not bad too.

[MadVbackup]

...are you joking me right now? This is an updated version of the trick from Anti-Gravity. He sweeps his arm over the card for Christ's sakes! You are the one who fails, bro.

[TheTutMasta]

@MadVbackup hey madvbackup are you really madv or a guy making a backup acc for him?

[MadVbackup]

@TheTutMasta Just a fan

[pippop94]

yer wat bout him moving his arm over the card? it should move but it dosent

[P00nez]

o yea he did lol ur the one who fails jk umm why not another theroy???

[bwakiscool]

@mclish05 lol.

Moron.

He doesn't move his arms around it or anything. ;D

[SuperLilDebbie]

SPOILER ALURT: the card is bent and makes it do that :)

[RedRay81]

@SuperLilDebbie epic fail

@slapbroz also epic fail

[SuperLilDebbie]

how did i fail?

[mikeytheaznking]

rather creepy mask, but otherwise, great card tricks :)

[supernova2gab]

What's the name of the song?!!!!

[Balaman4]

i now how to do it, it 's a great trick i did it  alot of time. great performance.

[infectedkoozer]

WDF im retarded i cant figure out how is it done T.T

[IamNuts114]

It's not a trick, it's a toy.

Search "hummer card"

[LetsLiveOurLives]

no. then explain how he waves his hand over the card

[MadVbackup]

LetsLiveOurLives is right. This is a better version of Hummer. Well, better in some senses. Worse in a lot of others

[slapbroz]

see the string is not on the sealing nor the floor but in his jackets and hands.. thats why he has the jacket on

[subzeroo3]

you have great presentaions and style keep it up.

[snowflakeFactory]

you guys are idiots. it has fishing line going side to side above the card and going down to connect it.

[SoLo92ut]

i used to do this all the time when i was little. the string is so hard to see even when youre the one doing it

[200odd300]

nice!

[DominicLang]

and one more thing i think this is the secret of when you be a madv on youtube you got to all ways do your tricks in your bedroom because that is what i'v seen all people that have been madv do.

[aqd84]

song is called: trip like i do (cant you) Spawn sound track...

I used my iphone to reconize the song..

[MadVbackup]

I usually use V-Cast song ID on verizon, cuz I have no idea what most of the songs are =/

[MadVTheNext]

Now im just saying it like it is stop ruin it for the ones that dosent no how.

Watch and enjoy if you know it great, if you dosent then just watch the videos.

[Showtime675]

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your grammer is fucking horrible

[doobsterman]

You sir have lost at the internet.

[steal1993]

grammar*

[c0ddlefl0p]

And you spelled the word grammar wrong, nice going dumb ass.

[MoonGaurd]

Song name?

[PoopnSuch]

wow this is actualy pretty simple. Horizontal string which holds another string which is attached to the card. Its hard to explain in words but this trick is not that complicated at all.

[asherFTW]

wow...

[charginmahlob]

Ist this like really easy to do in Adobe After Effects?

[MadVbackup]

Generally not to this quality. So even if he did do it in After Effects to this quality, you have to respect him for that. However, there are multiple explanations for how it's done, that make sense, and don't use any video editing.

[jonlisha]

Why can't you just watch the video and enjoy it, stop trying to ruin it for the rest of us.

[OxideableAcid]

stop try to solving this,just watch and enjoy.

[MadVbackup]

It proves the exact same thing. Where do you get that logic? If he can fully swing his arm above and below it without it moving then scissors wouldn't do shit.

[ghostsshAdow234]

No it doesn't. The string can be from above. Swinging you arm in front is not going to effect a string that's aove an object

[MadVbackup]

his arm goes over the top dude. you hang a card from the ceiling and try sweeping your arms the exact same way and tell me your results. i'll be awaiting your conformation of what I'll clearly told you last time. Thanks for making me type a whole other paragraph saying the exact same shit.

[bigb281]

whats the name of this song??

[MadVbackup]

You know, I could just tell you except, it's been addressed so many times, I'm just gonna let you figure it out. Read through the comments before posting, especially if it's about music because I can probably guarantee, your not the first to wanna know on any video. Especially popular ones.

[RAWRitsDAVIDxo]

trip like i do.

[SgtShwat]

If it amazes one person, it's a success. I'm absolutely sure it has done that already. MadV is a success.

[Abno6]

Ok dude... That's off the hook. How?

[PhizzleOut]

I was directing my comment to the people who ruined that wonderment by giving a full description on how he does it.

[HelloNewYorkCity]

isn't this music from the matrix?

[DarkParadiseWoW]

nope

[MadVbackup]

"The song was also used for the theatrical trailer of The Matrix and promotional trailers for the Enter The Matrix video game but it does not appear in the film, nor on the soundtrack"

Wikipedia FTW...

[bigb281]

hey is this madV??? cause lately ive seen many things saying '' madv come back"" or stuff like that?? and i saw this video of people writing things on there hands ?? whats it all about?? just curouis

[TylerthePirateBeemer]

you can find it on the spawn move soundtrack from back in the day.

[HaZnlol]

I know how he did it!!! "Its MAGIC" Cheyaaaaa!!!!

Come watch my vids on my channel if u want to see people get hurt !!! =D

[f234k4z01d]

nice i love it, makes me wonder

[PhizzleOut]

Who gives a fuck how he does it. Any dumbass can tell that it's fucking fake.

It's his ability to execute the illusion that makes it interesting to us and makes us wonder.

[johnph96]

STRING!

[MadV5000]

great video from my brother hää?

[Jamalfield]

The string is connected to the ceiling. He never waves his hand fully over the card. He gives the illusion that he's moving it over but he is actually going around it. Also you can see the the card starts to move along with his hand when he trys to cover it.

[britishstallion]

0.11 to 0.12

Except of that very obvious animation mistake, the effect looks pretty cool!

[KradSoba]

what animation mistake? point it out,or don't say anything at all.

[britishstallion]

Hey big nerd, do you know you are alowed to talk to people without this agressive attitude ?

Please, use the couple of neurons you have to read my comment again and you'll see I'm pointing a detail that happend between 0:11 and 0:12

Bollocks...

[blueilive]

I can also use after effects...

[TehHumanBox]

Nice Try Guys, but I did some investigation.

I've taken a screenshot, and used the program, Windows Movie Maker, I imported the screenshot onto the video Bar, than turned on the effect, Edge Detection, which lightens the picture and darkens

all the lines, or edges. there was no horizontal dark line going across the screen. :)

[oAbstractso]

your point is humanbox lmao

[TehHumanBox]

Most people are saying "Horizontal String"

[benikaya]

this video made me to a magician like good 2 years ago... thanks a lot madv.

[TheToFu]

How does this trick work? I want to learn :)

[MadVbackup]

Same here.

[JamesFromDarlo]

theres two strings

one goes horizontally across the length of the video

& the other hangs vertically, has the card on the end, and is looped to the first string

MadV just slides it along the horizontal string :)

[KradSoba]

idiot...if there was a horizontal string,he wouldn't be able to lift the card up easily and still have it on the same axis when he spins it again...plus...what is the string attached to? and explain how the card spins if it's on a horizontal string...explain that to me...it would spin vertically then...

there is only 1 explanation...the card tips are slightly bent to reduce vertical air,

and the card spin in mid air,you can do that with just about any card for a few seconds...

[JamesPoel]

lmao.

if you read my explaination properly, you would have seen this.

He has a horizonal string running from left to right, attached to the walls/objects offcamera, we'll call this string A

he then has a second string, lets call this string B, which is probably attached to his mask (im guessing his chin)

this string then hangs OVER string A at a 90 degree angle, with the card on the end

So he has TWO strings, that arent connected to eachother, but do make contact with eachother

get it now?

[racoon169]

thats a nice explaination

but dont watch magic to figure it out

wath it for entertainment. If u have a comment that involves how he does it, i'm pretty sure no one gives a crap

[TheRenaiged]

Yep thats how he do it

[sacredpine]

MAD V IS A BEAST

[C1anMcLeod]

This is hard to find how he does it, good job V

[GeneralFighter911]

btw dude ur not BLACK!!!!!!!

[MadVbackup]

I don't think so buddy. If you pause it at any point it doesn't look like it's imported.

[lulxors1235]

damn your'e right...

[dabyd666]

i know that most of levitation magics are done with magnets, its pure physics, maybe the letter is magnetized or something (still pretty cool)

[falconeater123]

12th

[darkwatch1234]

its called a spider pen, learn how it works

[chinesechicken10]

whats the name of the song?
