Wayne Hoffman on Phenomenon Performance 1

[558874574]

so fucking fake

[dandza77]

FAKE

[portalnuk]

he didn't say "yinfluence" and "yanger" the first time around, I checked :/

[lsjnfwnc2]

@portalnuk The words before he said both words ended with y, it's suttle but he did do it.

[maxemusJ]

it was badass, to those that think it smeared my only reason to say so was at the end the way he seemed to wipe something on he but this dude is a badass. hes good at wehat he does and fuck i wouldnt get a tattoo either

[TheReclamation14]

They've never met before yet he creeped in her dressing room to set up a ying yang table...

[revolie]

I bet she couldn't draw anything simpler so yeah..This isn't so hard

[jeramiewigs]

He bombed hard on the stern show. Howard busted him on the air. Big Joke this guy

[lexjohnson501]

I went on a cruise and this guy literally read my mind! So don't be so critical! I love you Wayne and I'm 11

[bobby104c]

pause at exactly 5:17. it smudges... sick brahh

[holyscythe]

I would have just made scribbles just to screw him over....

[octemberfury]

i thought she was going to draw a seashell

[octemberfury]

he is influencing my thoughts

i'm thinking: this dude is creeping the fuck out of me

[maadmai]

@Imsittingintheback It is actually! :D

[Hopeful71]

Poor man's Derren Brown...but fun none-the-less

[Imsittingintheback]

is it just me or did the tattoo smear

[chachee99]

@Imsittingintheback I saw that too.

[JHmagic1]

@Imsittingintheback why does that matter?

[grigor818]

5:18 its funny when he says "its real, touch it" as he's smeering it

[BezBog]

Derren Brown is still better... :P

[micklfc2008]

pause at 5:16 it looks like the tattoo is smered i dont no it just looks that way

[MoldCheese]

Lol he performed at my school, its all fake, but fun

[musiclovingchick6]

TheLonelydrummer: he knew her name because she was a celebrity. That doesn't mean they met before -.-

[micklfc2008]

@musiclovingchick6 he said hes never met her before etc etc and then he says he was in her dressing room and he said he picked her at random

[musiclovingchick6]

@micklfc2008 ok so thats a good point :) my point was that he knew her name and technically speaking you can know swomeones name without ever meeting them :) i thought you were just talking about that, and not all the other stuff you pointed out if that makes sense?! :)

[micklfc2008]

@musiclovingchick6 yeah it makes sence lols its still kinda cool ill not take that away from the act :D lols

[musiclovingchick6]

@micklfc2008 agreed :) i mean if it was with subliminal messages or whatever that's awesome!! and if it wasnt that's still pretty wicked! :) if he worked on it as to not make a little slip up like that then no one would know.

[micklfc2008]

@musiclovingchick6 yeah but the only thing about youtube is like when people catch these acts out , it makes you look yourself for people slipping up aswell haha :( :L

[musiclovingchick6]

@micklfc2008 i know right?!?! it drives me insane!! and then theres always the temptation of clicking on those videos that say how people do the tricks, and im always so tempted to just take a peek and see how they do them :)

[micklfc2008]

@musiclovingchick6 yeah ino hahaha that lil sneeky peak ruins it :P ha

[musiclovingchick6]

@micklfc2008 lol i knoww!!! :) i get really upset if anything ruins criss angels stuff XD hes like my fave so i dont watch any of those vids

[musiclovingchick6]

thelonelydrummer: she was a celebrity -.- they may have never met but he did know her name as you would know a celebrity'd name although you never met them :)

[Raedkt]

fake and gay

[TheLonelyDrummer]

IF THEY NVER MEET THEN HOW DID HE KNOW HER NAME! 0_0 y think about that

[bionkillay]

is it me or is his tattoo made with a marker? 5:18

[ASirensLullaby]

@bionkillay YES it was totally smudged~!!!

[mattboyo]

that wine glass bit at the end of the promo was refraction by david penn! neat trick but not very practical in real world!

[MyBetty111]

Its a shame he's heterosexual.

[brayo85]

na na na na...yall know better than that...single details automatically recorded by your brain unintentionally...that means she was influenced...no payings, or smudging colors @ "

heestenhats n ddNicKbb don be skeptics, instead widen up your logic circuits

[abhinavvinay]

This guy is shit..so fake

[heestenhats]

fake tatoo is smeard right of when he touched it.

[ClaudeConlin]

This guy is awesome. I've seen his live show and it's amazing.

[IamJacksColon4]

he got busted in stern what a fake

[ddNicKbb]

yeah all that thing he said is a proof that she is paid

[DarkRogueSpartan]

Fake 2:50 he probably slipped a note or something lol.

[annalea08]

first of all mishac23, it's Criss Angel... idk how you've never heard of him. And second of all, a lot of his shit IS legit. I'm part of the student org that brought him to my school last week and I got the opportunity to sit down with him at dinner. He does some crazy shit, watched him make a quarter MELT in my friends hand. Some other things he did were corny and easily duplicated, but he drank a can of coke then REFILLED the can and sealed it, and made it cold again.. real shit.

[mishac23]

anyone know who the 1st "expert" is???? i got the first name Chris but dont know his last....???

[babcock129]

Yeah I just saw him at FGCU. No doubt he is real!

[Brainbuster1000]

@babcock129 Haha. If he is real, why is he working as an entertainer? Why doesn't he forecast the lottery, or do something useful with his amazing cosmic power?

[kittykat83901]

I was just at his show last night at my school... he really is the real deal.. anyone can figure out how to do what he does.. it just takes a lot of work... I had my mind read last night.. it was pretty awsome... i had the word sweet in my head he got it

[ClaudeConlin]

The tattoo is real. He posted an offer of $2 million to anyone who can prove it isn't real and that he didn't get it prior to this performance. You can check it out on his blog on his website.

[reedo1703]

did anyone notice the tattoo smudge when that chick rubbed it?

[vi54]

i did, and quite visually.

also this doesn't look like a tattoo at all, not having one, but most of my frieds do.

still a fun act to watch, i prefer derren brown.

[SherlockH33]

He has horrible performance in most of his acts. His thing on Ellen was garbage.

[CONSIDERyou]

HE STOLE THIS from DERREN BROWN.

[VampMajesty]

Yea.. I saw him live and up close.. He's the real thing. Ignore the stupid tattoo thing. That's nothing compared to what else he has done.

He read everyone's minds there. some things can't be faked.

[CONSIDERyou]

Haha. Any professional mentalist "fakes" that. He's not the real thing, bro.

[VampMajesty]

@CONSIDERyou Of course that's all dependent on your definition of "fake." All I'm saying is he's capable of reading people well enough to figure out things the vast majority of people wouldn't even consider attempting, just from not understanding it. I'm not saying he has magical powers or whatever, he just has a good enough grasp on body language and other visual clues to catch what most people miss entirely.

[Brainbuster1000]

@VampMajesty No, Vamp. He is capable of reading an amateur magic book and copying Derren Brown's presentational lines verbatim. He is a hack, a tool, and knows NOTHING of psychology. Thousands of ppl have grad degrees in psychology and 10 times as much understanding, finesse, and subtlety as this Wayne duffer, and they don't have to do magic tricks and call it "psychology."

[VampMajesty]

@Brainbuster1000 Have you seen him live?

I didn't say one word about psychology. I said he can read body language. Where are these thousands of "ppl" and why are so many of them still baffled by people like him?

go see him live, talk to him. He's actually a nice guy. You're just an idiot who's bored enough to go around and troll people who have a genuine interest in something. Kind of pathetic actually.

[CONSIDERyou]

@VampMajesty Are you kidding? You don't know that thousands of ppl read psychology books every day? He fools psychologists because he's using magic tricks which psychologists obviously do not learn.

[VampMajesty]

@CONSIDERyou ....you do realize that None of what you said had anything to do with what I said.. right?

..I know psychology, I minored in it. and he's not using "magic tricks" that "psychologists do not learn" that's just retarded. I Never said anything about psychology. Learn to read before you retort and make yourself sound stupid.

[Brainbuster1000]

@VampMajesty I HAVE seen him live. I figured out each and EVERY trick he did (probably because of my background in magic and mentalism). Notice my word choice: "trick." He is tricking you and claiming to be using "psychology" and some special gift. There is no psychology at work in what he does. My problem with him is that he claims to be psychic and thus misleads ppl in a significant way.

[Brainbuster1000]

@VampMajesty You are the one who sounds silly. You have no clue about what you're talking about. This has nothing to do with body language. It's a fucking magic trick.

[VampMajesty]

@Brainbuster1000 Lmao. what are you, 12?

it has everything to do with body language. That's how you read people. One of his tricks involves running through the alphabet, and that uncontrollable emotion is what leads him to the answer. It's common sense.

Define magic trick. :)

[Brainbuster1000]

@VampMajesty How ironic that a Wayne groupie such as yourself accused me, an experienced, professional magician, of being 12. I make more in two hours performing than you do in a week. Keep taking notes from Wayne the Amazing and you'll go far. Blind leading the blind.

[VampMajesty]

@Brainbuster1000 lmao. Now I'm a groupie? I've seen him once at my college. You're not an experienced professional magician, you're a troll who has nothing better to do with your time apparently. And if you're so professional, why do none of your replies have anything to do with Anything I've said?

[Brainbuster1000]

@VampMajesty You've called me a "troll" 3 times now. Very impressive. I am a professional magician, that mean I make my living performing magic. It doesn't mean I am compelled to be nice to 15 yo punks like you on youtube. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you were Wayne Hofmann himself masquerading on youtube as a 15 year old punk kid.

[VampMajesty]

@Brainbuster1000 I'm not the "professional" wasting all their time trying to tell "15 year old 'punks'" that you know more than them. That's Real professional. Especially when in actuality I'm a 21 year old girl who's bored on summer vacation. What's your excuse? What are you doing on Youtube bugging people who are commenting on videos they Like? You're the one being immature.. and you're the one calling yourself "professional." Pathetic. I'm calling you a troll because that's what you've been.

[VampMajesty]

@Brainbuster1000 And I'll say it again. You haven't said a word that makes yourself sound even remotely professional. You've ignored what I've said, and just assumed I'm some 15 year old "punk" instead. How is that mature? I'm a college kid on summer break. I have an excuse to waste time outside of my part time job. What's your excuse? Where's your professionalism? Why are you spending time arguing (and failing at that: way to not actually contradict a word I've said) when you Should be working?

[VampMajesty]

@Brainbuster1000 Sigh. you guys are pathetic. Go find something else do to with your life, seriously.

[VampMajesty]

@Brainbuster1000 btw. I also never said a word about psychology. wtf is up with you people and being unable to read..

..he never once claimed to be psychic. He actually made a point to say that he wasn't. nice try though.

[Brainbuster1000]

@VampMajesty Alright, groupie. Lol.

[Nhia89]

exactly wat Shuzafa said, a few psycology classes and and anybody can do it, read the book the Black Science by Dr Haha Lung about mind munapulations and stuff

its all in there

[Shuzafa]

Plus this one too is bullshit too, the "ink" on that tattoo smudged when he touched it. Fraud douche fool.

[Boblings]

he sleep whit the girl inn the star and she did see the taqtto

[ClaudeConlin]

I saw him perform live and I met him after the show and asked him to show me the tattoo on his arm and he did! It's a REAL tattoo. It just has swirls around it.

[magicboytricks]

the tat smudges

[philnyc]

the tat smudges ! Smart blond ! Not

[scotty101fun]

omg i looked back after i watched it all... ans YES he does say..."yanger" and stuff like that.. how cool! lol

[789123Y]

How can it be fake? He even told how he did it. Influencing people like that is very possible, just ask anyone who has a degree in psychology.

[Shuzafa]

It's bullshit, he doesn't "read people". Anyone who takes a college psych course knows that you don't learn anything that would teach you something like that in any level course.

This douchebag got exposed to his tricks on Howard Stern. He's not magician, he just uses easy tricks that everyone on the Stern show figured out. What a douche.

[PureBaja]

I would love to ask him can u predict if you will win the show? :p

[weedo84]

hmm..I dont think he's got the personality of a mentalist or even a magician --he's got the geeky to frat boy attitude and look!.... that doesnt work with magic or mentalism.

mentalism and magic works with mysteriousness to get an attraction and to set the mood for tricks to work.

[OnceADancer]

Following your dream doesn't have a look. Don't be so superficial.

[weedo84]

aww.. im not being superficial im being a realist... those marketers out there would tell you the same thing.

[DJKID777]

he another criss wannabe

[OnceADancer]

You only watched one show. I've seen him live. You think this is his only trick? ??? How can you judge so quickly?

[frank1738rhcp]

wow how fake 5:16 it smudges

[Chris8990123]

ur right ay, it did smudge, that actually is a good point, but he has done other crazy unexplained shit before, so yeah even if this is fake, alot of his other shit isn't...

[SkepticalMouse]

It did smudge lol but all of the things he said were pretty accurate. I mean, the whole dressing room table thing...

I'm guessing he actually did influence her to draw it, but he got a fake tattoo cause he's afraid of getting a real one lol

[maisey13]

he just came to my school and he kept smelling his markers lol. he did the same thing kinda but with the hollywood walk of fame.

then the best thing that he did was started drinking a can of pepsi through out the show. for his finally he crushed the can. then he took all the dents out. resealed the can. filled it up. then opned it again to drink out of it amazing.

[huge2na]

He would to come into my store in Kenhorst PA asking me to hang his fliers in my window. He was in JR high then. Cool guy with alot of determination. Cant fault him for that.

[cataloni10]

fake

[lopytube]

I surprise theres not some (mostly likely lil kid)one on here that saids they saw everything he was planning.lol damn some...rather less than savy ppl on here.xchrisbobisx said he doesnt generally notice subliminal things-what a dumbass.but I will tell you guys this Ive been studying language patterns,nlp,etc for a good tiny bit and I didnt even pick up on it.damn

[Fredrinski]

that have to be fake!

[howardthecoward07]

it was obviously just drawn on as he looks at the tatoo from backstage. hes backstage for like 5 fuckin minutes.

[budbadbig]

I believe this guy an have talent, but this magic got screwed because that bitch didnt have intelligence. "Hi mom" ROFLMAO

[jdizzle3484]

LOL that tatooo was smeared to shit... Totally tell its not a tatoo

[Scorpiosign53]

that girl is soo stupid

[oregonmilitiaman]

yeah, influence their mind. pretty good. not a fan of phenomenon, but at least he didn't use telekinesis or some devilish(I know) thing.

[franzbeckenbauer07]

lol..the marker....lol

[TheDisease13]

this guy came to my school

[xchrisbobisx]

hrm... good thing he didnt pick me b/c i generally dont notice subliminal things...i was thinking of a cigar.

[songmage]

Oh man! This guy is performing at my school in like two hours! It's gonna be awesome!

[erikkloeker]

Hah that is soooo not a real tattoo.

[bunnbooboo12]

THATS INSANE!

[BabiiHottie10]

he performed at my school :D

[SquishyKitty]

ZOOLANDER!!!

[lizard9279174660]

yes he was a host along with uri geller (spelling)

[pinkfloyd697]

That is Chris Angel at 6:18, right.

[Smitty976]

that was so marker cuz its coming off

[sergeantkevin]

this guy came to my school he was insane

[VerseJer333]

why did it smudge when he rubbed it lol

[hillmert]

Does this guy admit he is just a magician and nothing more, or does he say his crap is real?

[dannothemanno182]

i saw wayne hoffman perfrom at my school. excellent.

[chocoanimal]

Great trick! Wonderful!

[flameshinobi]

LMAO

why the fck is the month old tattoo rubbing off eh

watch the marker come off

lmao

[royalsfan1987]

he coming to my city next weekend i can't wait im going

[Cadet0617]

i just saw him tonight and he was able to figure out exactly how much change i had in my pocket and what my dad's name was.

[smileyshem]

he was @ Souther ct State university today and he read my mind!!!!!!

[sournsweet2636]

i just saw him perform last week on a cruise ship i was on..he was amazing!

[ficker44]

Omg this is just such a simple trick! Of NLP if anybody knows this science! he just uses simple techniques to get this picture in her head! For example the table in her room.

These are just things coordinated by our subconscious mind.

[erikkloeker]

Wrong! haha, I love when people try to explain magic tricks.

[downbeatpuppet]

aw, he came to my college and said he was going to do a different trick =/

it was a lot cooler d:

i'd talk about it but i'm sure no one here cares.

this guy is great though.

[greg2230]

ok,why was guy bavardi-aka the heart-stopping freak,on both shows - picked over Wayne,who is a true performer?

[weinereaterz]

WOW

he's totally my favourite!

[stephanie40196]

He did that trick at my college about a month ago. Its even cooler in person...He really is a great performer.

[Queegzzz]

Why is this rated so low. I'm really shocked. He was excellent. This kid oozes confidence and charisma. He's going to be a star. And a 1 rating is a JOKE!

[lizard9279174660]

I KNOW!!! I wish I was allowed to rate my own videos. I'm crossing my fingers because tonight is the elimination and I really hope he stays!!

[Brainbuster1000]

@Queegzzz @Queegzzz What Wayne Hoffman OOZES is arrogance and overconfidence. His tricks can be found in children's magic books in the "hobbies and games" aisle of your public library. THAT is why this is rated so low.

[theboyfrombrazil]

Wayne is the real deal. A fantastic entertainer and showman!

All 10 votes go to him from sunny Rio de Janeiro.

[lizard9279174660]

I totally agree!!!
