  • @DAN1ELmadison i want to know what you thought when you watched the video back and saw penn trying to punch you

  • i just keep this here... this act made me practice card tricks and flourishes! there were a few good card tricks in this first season but this is the one that made me get out my old bycicle deck and start flourishing, even if i still suck at this art, you made me start it! i'm 28 and i hope i will become as good as you in about 40 years, thanks so much! :)

  • very well executed

  • Can someone tell me how this was done? X

  • That's AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE 2nd deal, Impromtu KEEP that In mind everybody

    daniel madison two thumbs UP

  • 2:03 look at the guy expression over penn's left shoulder. i laughed so hard when i saw this because it was the exact same face i was making with my face a foot away from the screen.

    mind bogglingly cool!

  • That is a BALLSY sleight. Pair of sleights. Oof. I remember being blown away by this one when I first saw it. Curse YouTube for ruining all magic tricks! Well, not truly ruining, since now I can respect you for the precise skill you demonstrated. Well done.

  • so this is how he looks like without greyscale =p

  • so easy & so good :)

  • pretty simple trick but very very well executed. amazing

  • after rewatching the vid, I saw how he did it~ Awesome~

  • I never get tired watching this vid

  • what I didn't like about this trick was p&t were part of it (red bicycles)

  • @vasmousous Not necessarily -- if someone *watched* the acquisition, I am not sure you could *count* on them being accomplices.

  • @vasmousous Not true. The whole point of the show is to fool them. Any communication or prior knowledge would be construed as 'unfair preparation.' This effect can be achieved with any deck.

  • @vasmousous You idiot, don't you know that Penn n Teller were magicians before so they know cards, every magicians are using bicycles and btw its the second time where Penn nTeller brings the deck.

  • @vasmousous we're you part of the show? how would you know that? i don't think its that obvious nor should we assume as much.

  • people shuffle ~_~ toooo easy =;

  • teach me your magic master :o

  • I don't want to go to no faggot's website. Someone tell me in here how he did this.

  • @Lifel355 IF you cant find the time to go to a source to learn it, then to be honest, you wont have the time to actually practice. it.

  • For anyone who wants the tutorial don't even bother... the trick looks really easy and the technique also is pretty basic. But to master it to a level that is so high is just incredible. Won't reveal anything but let me just say Daniel, the first thing you have to do for this trick and how you did it was the best I have ever seen! Although you can see a small flaw in the video.

  • @gpolenik The flaw in the video is unfortunate, but I have to agree that the level of skill there is quite impressive.

  • MAH NAME IS DAHNYEL MADHSN

  • I havent really hard much about you until I looked at your dvd, dangerous. This dvd revealed to me your fluency with a specific type of move (that shall remained unnamed). With this knowledge, I was able to figure out how the 1st part was done. Still, i was astounded by your dealing so I had to buy how to cheat at cards. I'm still at the beginning, but I've read through the chapter on "the move" that you do in this demonstration. I must say, you have done a fantastic job with this book!

    -Michael

  • I'm not sure but I THINK I know how you done this. First trick I've ever (possibly) deciphered! :)

    This trick amazed me though! :D

  • ahahahahahahaha the face of teller 5:27 is priceless

  • I've gone to your site and tried to check out the reveals you state in the videos you've posted, that you'd show, posted from your site. However, it appears none of them are available anymore? Each (different) one I look up that you provide the address for just indicates the page cannot be found. Are you now only exclusively offering info to those who purchase your books/pdfs/dvd's?

  • @Merrida100 THis effect is at my site called THE SCOTT TRIBUTE, it is also available free with HOW TO CHEAT AT CARDS

  • Wow. So the first 15 times I watched this I thought you were feeling the cards. Then I realized its more about the deception. Being a sleight of hand enthusiast myself, I thought of how you MUST be doing it. Then I watched it again and caught it. But even after the move, I've never seen some one deal so smooth. Amazing, your probably one of the best card sleights in the world. You have inspired me.

  • Damn, that was impressive

  • If you know where to look you can see how you get the cards up.. But the dealing it's flawles.. One of the best routines i ever saw.. Great job!

  • u should have shown them ur flourishes at the intro , that would be EPIC !

  • Thats not the original one he used in the performance ...

  • Oh my God its in colour!

    

  • with what you said at the beginning "the casinos wont let me in"...im not 100% sure but i dont think they let any magicians in no matter what there style is...not 100% sure thats true but i think

  • Do you teach this in any book/dvd?

  • @ThisIsUnrealReality it's called THE SCOTT TRIBUTE at my site DANIELMADISON co uk

  • @DAN1ELmadison Oh k thanks. I might get it :P

  • What song is it played in the intro ??

  • I am sad you couldn't fool them, but it was flawless. Absolutely flawless.

  • great daniel

  • It's easy to see what he did. It's just hard to do it.

  • Ah, I think I know how this is done. Great job! :)

  • He never said how you did it!!!How do you know he wasn't lying!! :P

  • YOUR SO AWESOME

  • Xray blindfold! bwahahah

  • A magician I admire :)

  • Was that Jordan Lapping at 4:27?

  • how the fuck...?

  • whats ur shop, do you sell this trick ?

  • @streetmagic26370 The Expert at The Card Table and How to Cheat at Cards... Both available at my shop (search my name)

  • brilliant and perfectly executed. daniel, im a fan and i love how u did it. i kept watching it over and over again, until just today, i figured it out. And because of that, i understood how difficult it is to do. coz i find it hard to deal it that way. maximum respect man :)

  • The first time I watched this, even as a magician I was completely baffled. I actually do the same move, but because he does it so well, it was just absolutely perfect

  • How the hell he did it?!

  • There are some sleights, tricks, deceptions out there that are so amazing that I don't want to know them! Daniel you are a card genius!

  • sooo difficult

    much respect

  • This is the best one on here then Mathieu Bich was second and this one dude 3rd, good shit

  • When I figured it out,., I was mad....

  • @LoDaKid may i ask how you found out

  • He looks like Rob Swire from Pendulum. If you've never heard of them, LOOK THEM UP.

  • Simple trick i over thought it the first time watching but caught it the second.. That was awesome though :) totally fooled me for a second there

  • @IZESI if its so simple why dont u do it then?? com on,, that was more than amazing,,

  • Email your reviews of my book HOW TO CHEAT AT CARDS to me, those used will receive a very generous reward

    D

  • @DAN1ELmadison Hey man where can I get your book? I really want it

  • @AppleAssassin search form my website danielmadison . co . uk

  • @DAN1ELmadison nice trick man.really.good luck !!

  • Some things I like to figure out, some I like to just revel in the beauty of them.. Daniel, beautiful trick. Very nice.

  • Not Found

    The requested URL /Blindfold.­html was not found on this server.

    So i guess i never learn it...

  • @kokomanen go to the PUBLICATIONS link at - danielmadison.co.uk

  • @DAN1ELmadison Thanks :)

  • my god.. never seen nothing like this.. great. awesome, very nice man

  • Really amazing, beautiful performance and a real piece of magic....I dont see how they busted you......a slieght is only half of that trick how did you control or in other words magicly collect the royal flush? I dont want to know, actully i'd rather enjoy what is so hard for me these days.......you got a fan and a brother in Magic

  • i think you could fool them with CHANGE :) hahahahaha :D

  • The only reason i know what you did is because penn and teller gave it away when trying to figure it out but thats amazing. How long did it take you to learn not 14 years i imagine

  • Bloody Hell fire...not bothered how it works, just want to say bleeding heck...

    Im sure this format will be sold all over the world...or maybe not. Great performance of some great technique and 'magic'.

    Shoot, I must get back to the UK to audition...

    James

  • I think this is the first time Iv'e ever seen Daniel Madison in color!

  • @AviHoffmanMagic true dat LOL.

  • I know you pull the five cards out of somewhere other than the deck.. But it's WAYYY to fluent to see :L

    Imma frame-by-frame this video, see if that helps xD

  • @Tighearnan2468 the bottom of the deck

  • Daniel madison? In Color?

    What is THIS?!

  • what...the...fuck? unbelievable. 

  • I hate how some people on this show have made it on technicalities such as faking a blatant move such as a switch. They really need to stop the '1 guess' rule. Either way, you were one of the best acts on so far.

    P.S. Great to see you in full color :)

  • so amazing :) you inspire me to keep trying to do this stuff :)

  • I don't think you should have had one of the last 2 cards be the JOD because that slightly gives away the nature of the trick -- It's almost too convenient. Your sleight of hand skills are out of this world though.

  • The explanation for this effect will be available from the 18th August 2011 here... DANIELmadison.co.uk/Blindfold.­html

  • @DAN1ELmadison its not working man....i want to learn!!! :D

  • @dunkamania21 you can learn it here: danielmadison.co.uk/Blindfold.­html

  • Brilliant performance. Like seriously, not only was it a brilliant magic trick but it was performed perfectly and very entertaining. Thanks, and keep up the amazing work!

  • Very well done Mr. Madison. I got it after a few watches. You're right simplicity does fool the magician because you have very good showmanship which helps lead people away from the method. Keep doing what you're doing. You're the man.

    Madness

  • Did you not think of auditioning for the part of Mr. Tumnus in the Narnia films?

  • the prison part was hilarious lol

  • whats the song called at the start

  • I was so surprised to see you on the show! Penn, Teller and Madison can I ask for more? I wanted you to fool them so bad...

  • Amazing!!!!!  Wonderful :o

  • I thought you said Artifice was your only Weapons from now on. You lied to ellusionist. all lies. lies!

  • Very cool.

  • NICE performance! You have adapted this sleight in a more or less traditional effect with a nice twist of the blindfold. I know the two sleights yet you did it flawlessly. BTW first time I've seen you in colour, awesome!!!

  • h never said what it was.....

  • Where can learn this?

  • kj

  • I CAN'T SEE ONE NOT EVEN ONE TINY MISTAKE.

    I'M GONNA LEARN THIS EVEN IF IT TAKES ME LIKE 30 YEARS.

  • i want to know...so bad!!! :O

  • Daniel Madison so cool > <

  • amazing, so good i don't even wanne know how you did it! xD

  • Perhaps the secret lies in the beard.

  • I'm blown away. That was such a beautiful trick. I saw some of your movements but I still have no idea how you did it. Great video!

  • You are sick mate, and your sleight of hands have always impressed the crap out of me. But if I'm right about how you did this, I thought it was too bold to pull off with the two of them standing just a couple of feet away. The context was great, however, but I think you need something more unexpected (like Mathieu did) in order to get their holding their trousers down.

  • man that was really really awosume

  • This is a very simple trick, but Teller's right. Its the execution rather than the method that makes this impressive

  • @jayrobson88 can you please tell me? or hint or something...ahhh so harddd

  • I am Daniel Madison

  • love it

  • you have amazing tactile sensetivity

  • the trick is pretty simple - you can feel the print of the cards. See how he holds them, so he can feel the number and the suit of the card... You need a lot of practice to do that with one finger...

  • cool beans

  • Awww you didn't fool them :(

    You're still friggin awesome though. Huge fan. Bought almost every single thing you put out so far.

  • definately my favourite act so far, i really have no idea how you did it, im guessing that the flush cards wernt taken from the top of the deck like the others where, but if you couldnt see anything and youd never handled the deck before, i have no i dea how you could have got the cards into position for the move, absolutely brilliant. well done

  • Hey Daniel Madison! Your video's keep me inspiring. I also opened my youtube account with a video. After Three years of labour I thought the time had arrived. Therefore I invite you to have a look at it. It would be an honour to have you viewing it. Thanks.

  • how was it meeting jonithan ross

  • this is the only one i missed and it had danial madison on it :(

  • name of the trick?

  • @TheElegantlibra The Scott Tribute

  • @DAN1ELmadison very well performed.., i'm really impressed

    are You going to release this on dvd or what?

  • @DAN1ELmadison where did you learn this from?

  • @DAN1ELmadison how did you made that trick? Any possibility showing it to me? Or at least giving me a small hint. I can't imagine it being a move as Penn described it!

  • @LucaTurilli89 The trick is unbelievable easy, the sleight of hand work on the other hand is a different story.

    This is Daniels real channel, so I'm not going to give the secret away, it is how he pays his bills after all.

    I will say this though, his sleight of hand is head and shoulders above anyone else I've seen.

  • That is one damn superb trick. First look i knw how u did it. Its a simple trick but soo hard to execute it. To do it in frnt of them is so daring. Nice , veri nice.

  • a thing i want people to concider is that the deck is still shuffled and borrowed and he has a blindfold..... you have to able to know the possition to understand where the cards are and so forth Damn impressive! it still fools and i dont know!

  • Caught it. Not going to expose it, but after what Penn said, I went back to see if I can catch it, which I did. I'm not saying it wasn't well done, it was just about perfect. I'd love to send you a message with what I think you did if that's ok. Again though, it was done greatly, great job!

  • That was an amazing compliment from Penn. I would have felt like a winner right after that no matter whether or not he figured me out.

  • Nicely done Daniel , I eagerly await your book. I love your other material :) Keep it up. How much practice did it take you btw???? I have spent a year learning it and I still suck.

  • It really is an easy trick that is very hard to pull off. I'm not going to say what he does, but I will say that the camera wasn't nice to you at times during it. I've loved magic for many years, but my clumsy hands could never pull something like that off. Kudos.

  • I had to watch it twice to figure out the trick. Very impressive. You appear very comfortable and coordinated even when blindfolded.

  • very impressed well done

  • I don't get it....I am utterly perplexed, dazed, and confused at how you did this. So glad to have seen this display....you are so skillful, it IS Magic. Amazing.

  • Well executed as per usual Danny very nice, Buy his dangerous DVD one of the moves is taught on that,.

  • Nice, Boards of Canada in the introduction :)

  • I'm with Penn, I'm more impressed with what you actually did as opposed to being fooled

  • Well done..... saw the move and wow you are good and brave to do that infront of Penn and Teller......

  • there is one cheat on the viewer, you had access to the same deck of cards penn and teller would give you, and P&T must have known about this as well.

  • very good control of the cards i know how hard it is to pull off that technique. my friend has tried to teach me but i just cant do it with out being caught. so amazing skills, it was flawless

  • Did you slip in those 5 specific cards when he handed you his deck, and count exactly where they were by stack height? If so, that in itself is ridiculously impressive.

  • @Farris2k7 That's what I thought too, but that would mean he would have to know what kind of deck Penn & Teller would bring. It would still be an incredibly impressive technique, but cheap because he pretended to not know anything about the deck beforehand. As likely as it seems, I don't believe this is the solution.

  • Like a boss

  • Truly impressive. I agree that it's not an illusion, but pure skill. I might even hesitate that there is no trickery, because I would imagine trickery would be the method that shaunthepanda detailed (which I believe to be incorrect).

  • Comments on this video are all 'pending approval' to control blatant exposure in hope that you can force yourself to figure out the methods rather than being told.

    I would hope that at least one lesson is offered in this performance... Take a risk.

    D

  • @DAN1ELmadison Are you saying you risked the red Bikes? That's pretty ballsy if it's true.

  • @DAN1ELmadison It's kinda sad you didn't pass and guys like Graham Jolley with self working tricks went to vegas. I thought about this for a long time and the only explanation I have is that you punched the cards. However I have no idea how you punched them since you never touched them with your eyes open.

    You're the best and btw it's great to see you in color lol.Congratulations

  • @cfb4ever Thanks.

    Strange how the simplest things fool the magician, and the most difficult sleights get busted, but it is an 'entertainment' show and Penn does have an incredible knowledge on the subject of card-table deception.

    I thought Jolley was hilarious btw

  • @DAN1ELmadison I have to agree with you on that, I was most entertained by the hilarity of Graham Jolley. Nonetheless, you were excellent mate. No idea how you did it, and I'm most likely, never going to find out. Keep up the good work.

  • @cfb4ever So let me get this right, you know about punch work but you dont know how THIS is done. uhhhh, sorry i just find that strange.

  • @cfb4ever Why is it sad that Graham went to vegas?

    It's not about the trick it's about the performer

  • nice one.man i admit u had me for a moment.good luck man .cheerz

  • I know nothing about magic...but I would bet Penn was in on it. Penn focused on how Daniel dealt out the cards - not how Daniel found the cards!

  • @videos4mydad I can guarantee you that penn, in fact no one in that entire building was in on it. This was pure slight of hand. No gimmicks. No stooges. This was just beautiful!!! Well done Daniel!

  • Damn

  • After watching this a few times, and going over the possibilities, even trying out a few, I think I've figured it out, and if it is truly how you do it, then I am amazed at how much work this took to perfect.

  • texture on the cards?

  • Whats the solution to this?

  • How did he do it?

  • i bet it's some combination of hearing how each single card sounds when he slightly brushes them on each other while dealing them (that's why he has to do it in silence) and/or how the face-down side feels on the tips of his fingers.

    printing ink does change the surface of a card, maybe that's a key to how he could identify the royal flush

  • Here is my hypothesis. The poker table was see through and there was actually a man inside it looking up. There was a small speaker in the blindfold that would let out beeps to tell him when he had the right card.

  • I dont want to give to much away, but does you thumb play a big part ? :P

  • You rock man

    haha

  • I bet Chuck Norris could have easily fooled them.

    PS: now i know why every time i saw Pen & Teller i had a deja vu feeling.. like i knew them from somewhere, i`ve seen them before, but i couldn`t put my finger on it. But, today, as I was shuffling thru the TV`s channels.. i saw the answer. It was right there all the time. On BOOMERANG... Yes.. Pen and Teller is Droopy and Dripple. How could i`ve been so blind till now? BTW D+M.. nice performance on the show.

  • watched several of the others from this show. to me yours is much more impressive than the ones who fooled them

  • Lol, very well performed, took a couple of replays to notice it. I wonder what would have happened if they pulled out a pack of nudes though :p

  • You are my role model. Everything you do is Elegant and you are a master at your work

  • @6.04 Teller's expression was PRICELESS. That 'Yeap that sucker was me' look.

  • Beautiful performance, Daniel, as usual. You elevate the art.

  • Can see the technique used in this to pull off the effect, very good Daniel. Don't think I'd ever pull the confidence to perform this though to some people like Penn And Teller. haha, all the best, Keep it up - Stan. NZ.

  • This is a great bit for all laymen, I'll be trying this soon, I like the method.

    What surprises me most though is seeing you in color, I look more like you now that I would've guessed!
