[JBjeter17]

[ZAMMAZTHEMAGICIAN]

If you wanna see my live debut in magic type zammaz into Youtube

Please rate and comment but don't leave any spoilers.!!!

[weefeatures]

So this is what Howard from Halifax does now

[Linklegacy77]

He stole the signed cards from the deck before he gave it to teller, loaded them carefully, then when he went to reveal each he carefully put it in there.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

@Linklegacy77 Thats the obvious part, the not obvious part is that when he was apparently putting the cards into the deck, the whole 12 card spacing thing was the diversion.

[LLOYD19851012]

Who wants to play 52 pick up?

[OscarGeronimo]

Magicians know how to talk cryptic between themselves!!?? Guys, guess whose taking the world soon...?? Actually, not really, cause they need an organization or some..........................­........we're so screwed.

[97WWEfan4life]

that trick didnt fool me :D thumbs up if it didnt fool you too

[IMBIGJT]

what was the move???

[ThoseDamnMonkeys]

Well even I got the double lifts and knew the grand finale before the end and I'm only an amateur when it comes to card tricks.

[MrNik888]

love how teller claps

[JSLSampaio]

I believe I know the name of the move penn talks about in the end, but if anyone knows for sure, can you pm me with it? I don't want to write it here, for pretty much the same reason penn didn't say it, I believe.

[TheCrankyCow]

@JSLSampaio il try to be criptic(and mabby funny)

double the flavor doublelift gum

ok that was about as forced as the cards they picked

[JSLSampaio]

@TheCrankyCow haha, very criptic, indeed. Thanks, that's what I thought ;)

[canonA1film]

The double lift was terrible! This trick was terrible. The moves are so simple, so it really needs to be dressed up. His patter was really unconvincing though. It just wasn't a "wow" trick.

[CopyCat1995]

well, it's a good trick indeed... insanely hard...

[LakseJohn]

Gnarles Barkley intro song...nice

[Robert63512]

You can see when he shuffles and cuts the cards red comes up a few times

[KeusFrench]

is Teller a mute?

[antipryzm]

@KeusFrench no, he can talk, its just his gimmick not to. i think you can find vids of him talking on here somewhere.

[elfwall]

@KeusFrench No, Teller isn't actually a mute.

watch?v=TgtgOs_OkTU

[Medifro]

@KeusFrench normal people think he is because this is part of his character. Magicians know he's not.

[TheCrazyPrankster]

@KeusFrench no, he'snot mute

[Tazmaneer]

As soon as he said 'intuitive insight', I went to Google it and seconds later face palmed because he started to explain..

[keysofhope]

lol how jonathan signed the card

[Decktrickster]

waaaaaaaaat

[MasonGillis]

Why the Harry potter music at the beginning?

[raulmoracastillo]

it was too easy to find out how he did it, but still it's a amazing trick

[r4ffi]

when he puts back the marked cards, he places them all on the BOTTON of the deck, than at 03:03 he placed the last 3 card + one extra card (with a blue top) on the blue deck (very very good performance). well than all the marked cards are on the top (plus extra blue card on the very top). than some false-cuts and shuffles and presenting each card at a time by lifting up 2 cards at a time (extra blue card plus marked red card).... very good performance and nice finish :-)

[zerr0ww]

i was wondering why he was doing a double pick up every time he showed a card. it was to hide the fact that the card was red..... dunno how he did the switch though.

[gdogvibes1]

finally a black magician:)

[xJopeRz]

they didnt even explain how they understood it? wtf

[msnjc007]

@xJopeRz They said before that they don't want to explain how it happens in case they give it away

[asianVbruhVTH0MAS]

i mean 4:30

[asianVbruhVTH0MAS]

wait a sec what was 8:30

[AstOnokReviews]

random chamber of secrets music

[laxgoalie555]

so what moves did he use?

[PowaShammy]

@laxgoalie555 they are many, but as a card trick enthusiast, a lot of card tricks are about moving many cards, while looking like moving one. I used to think ppl did this to move 2 or 3 cards but can move a half deck of cards with this technique. Like Penn said. It's a joy to watch because it takes so long to master, even though they didn't fool P&T, they were clearly impressed.

[ROTINPIECES]

lol why are your black hands shaking when you cull

[choprik]

at 3:03 you can see and HEAR falling cards

[scottyL842]

@3:52 @4:19 you can see him switch the cards if you look closely your welcome

[misjif2341]

@scottyL842 Well, now that you point it out, I see it. :P

[rachaelly1]

Haha Harry potter theme song

[ghossler]

great trick.. but the thing is.. these kind of tricks.. use the same tricks to force, to secretly grab etc. and like penn said.. u cant fool other magicians with these tricks.. cause they know where to look... but u can fool the whole audience with it. Great trick.. i knew what he was about to do.. but couldnt see the errors... so clean...

[jcudal32]

Lol 0:15 lol that card shuffling sounds like wet diarrhea.

[dhmos15]

easy to understand butt difficult to pull off so smooth:)

great performance;)

[Dejavu583]

he has quick hands, he just slipped the 3 signed cards and hand them in his hands the whole time instea of putting them into the other deck.

[JTKmix]

bloody freaking hell, how?????????????? hats off to you

[redlion7277]

Seriously, to be called one of Penn and Teller's favorite performers. Now that is a compliment.

[vinavi]

DAMN!! Really liked this one. Perfect trick with a nice ending. How he did that? Is this trick invented of his mind of from another magician?

[megamindstorm101]

the very first time i saw this video i noticed how he put the cards on the table and it didnt fool me :P I was just curious how he got the cards into the blue deck from the red deck.

[vallieluvs2sing]

I think I know how he did it but that was really magnificent.

[TomCatDrummer26]

i think there is a little sleight of hand involved but I also think the cards are rigged as a stripper deck because it looks like somthin you could do with a stripper deck plus some double lifting,either way, it was very good

[VelvetKevorkian]

It's too bad he didn't win with this one because it's a freakin' amazing trick. I didn't know this trick and the first time I saw it, my jaw actually dropped.

[InfamousPvPz]

Such a wonderful trick. The first few times I watched it I was in shock and had no idea how it was done. However, after watching it for what is probably the 6th time it becomes clear how he does it. In a nutshell the cards are picked at random and not forced. There is some slight of hand used and a double card lift. His manipulation of the cards is incredible and it really brings this trick together.

[XMAGICZ07]

i think its quiet a easy trick

[PCGamerPortal]

@XMAGICZ07 QUITE, NOT QUIET GET IT RIGHT ALREADY!

[LilaLovegood1]

HEDWIGS THEME! GAHHH!

[TenaciousSkaven]

This guy is awesome :D

[TheTvrulesthenation]

Call me childish but 0:17 when he does the card shuffle thing sounds like a wet fart :P

[ConnorRunsFree]

@TheTvrulesthenation okay, you're childish. but you're also dead on lol.

[BigPrintMusicElsie]

double flip

[gpolenik]

he sounds nervous

[TheAngelofThrash]

@gpolenik i would be...

[iitzchiefin]

at 0:31 all he did is turn the deck around

[CoonarStreetmagic]

@iitzchiefin your wrong he did in fact do a midnight shift.

[JakeDavidHarrison]

Teller's disappointed face after the second double lift. Haha.

[10Cnote]

I think he was trained by Slydini wasn't he.

[23ABoyd23]

@10Cnote Yes. He was. Saw one of his lectures. If you can get to see it, go for it. It's eye opening.

[Applesmaush]

@3:40

You can see the 4 of hearts on the bottom of the deck.

[IamNixon]

Aint nothing like old school magic. Absolutely splendid.

[TardisEqualsLove]

Very impressive. :)

[leplusfortaumonde]

why is teller never talking ??

[irishgodfatherchris]

@leplusfortaumonde he doesn't need to, Penn does it for him.

[TheTvrulesthenation]

leplusfortaumonde

It goes back to when he was first doing magic as a teen/adult, he found by being quiet people focused more on the tricks rather than throw stuff at him :P. It then sort of developed into his onstage persona, i think sometimes he speaks under the guise of Penn doing ventrilioquism.

Not too sure who does the talking though

[PlatnnumAngel]

Double lifts

[kiranrajkeralaboy]

@PlatnnumAngel yup but unbelievable shuffle

[cadamslad]

visit my channel

[cadamslad]

all im going to say is slight of hand double lifts the deck of cards are set up in an order and the cards are forced good trick i know how he dint the first part i think

[gunperry]

@cadamslad nope, no force

[secdeal]

@cadamslad

this didn't even make any sense

[Azyashi]

No idea how he did it.

[sjdb9]

Bloody hell he had me fooled from the beginning of the video! I didn't know which way he was looking!

[kramer1lad]

@miyor123 well aren't you a fucken scumbag

[MrKimmy1986]

Great idea for a show. They all fool me!

[iamjakebake]

lazy eye?

[WirlWind494]

It's amazing how magic works. People really really just want to believe it's magic.

I mean, I had half my family freak out over the card rising from the deck trick, which is basically just your thumb making it rise lol.

[ratonL]

¿Do they ever get fooled?

[WatchUrHead1]

they get fooled alot... watch the other videos

[rickdaslick9]

so perfect!!!

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

I knew I recognised him from somewhere! He was in a documentary called The Human Camera about British savant Stephen Wiltshire. Look it up :)

[xRagma]

that dude is really breathing there

[KarstenJohansson]

Good stuff. This is good card handling.

[FATGUYEATPIE1]

i like the part when he took the spirits of the cards and put them on the table, can someome explain that to me? also, he has a derp face

[BassmrDK]

Even though he didn't fool them, this guy is hands down the person to ever participate in "Fool Us" with the most skills!

[PoppinMollyCyrus]

cant these fucks just say that arent fooled everytime.. they should have to perform it after if they arent

[andrejmarques]

Perfect

[XMAGICZ07]

@zachcloseupmagic i no he can do better than me but i didnt say i can do better than him you can be wrong live im not a little geek who stays o the computer messaging peoples comments

[ssbvids4321]

Damn that was brilliant! I know how it was done but there are very very VERY few people in this world who can pull it off so smoothly without the slightest error. DAMN

[XMAGICZ07]

at the start were he turns the ace of hearts into the ace of clubs he has the ace of clubs face up on top of the deck the he just turns it round watch it again and you'll see

[spanglishman1234]

HOLY SHIT DID TELLER JUST TALK 0.o

[TheAceofspades01]

Diagonal palm shift, double lift and glide :)

[FlareRider123]

Michael Vincent made the dislikers disappear.

[PaulTheillusionist]

Michael Vincent is classic!!!!!!!!!!

[Adam12088]

Did anyone else notice that his eyes are misaligned in his introduction?

[Jackfreemanbell]

I saw the slight of hand when he put the cards into the deck, he put them on the bottom of the deck, and then the double lift when he showed the 8 of diamonds but everything else was good

[ScarsFTW]

Card College lol.

[Abruenetti]

The Patter really is terribly sub-par. especially for a stage trick like that

[hackajim]

-(0 ) ( 0 ) -

[APersonWhoLikesFood]

slieght of hand,

[detodounpoco37]

@APersonWhoLikesFood Wow, you are a genius.

[Penguines]

What if he flipped the cards and the backs were blue. :OOOO

[yuweizheng]

nice routine



[Writersblock39]

Gustavo Fring is doing magic now?

[pirocan1]

excellent sleight of hand

[marcjtdc]

what I don't like is at 3:06 and 3:08 the camera view cuts Vincent out of the picture so you cannot see his slight of hand! They don't want you to replay it and see the trick!

[thispoorguy]

@marcjtdc sucks, but I think someone who is knowledge enough would be able to figure out what he did without actually having to see it

[marcjtdc]

what I don't like is at 3:06 and 3:08 the camera view cuts Vincent out of the picture so you cannot see his slight of hand!

[mekkabon]

My names Michael Vincent, and I attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...

[kalloused]

This man represents everything pure and beautiful about old school magic. He does it perfectly

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@kalloused This was easy, he controlled the 3 cards while spreading them & he palmed them off. He adds them to the blue deck. Then he gets the three to second, third, and fourth from the top in the shuffle & cuts & double lifts showing the face of the selection but a blue back in the lift. He puts the selection on the table without showing it's red signed back, & turns back the turned blue card and repeats with the other two. Michael is rubbish by the way. His patter is arrogant and dreadful.

[kalloused]

@CaraBrimleyRules Yeah I know how it was done but it was done perfectly. There are a small handful of people on this planet.... even in history, who can judge weather this man is a worthy magician and I can assure you, you are not one of them. Michael Vincent is one of the most brilliant close up magicians to ever live and is well renowned and respected by some of the top magicians in the world for over 30 years.

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@kalloused His technique is often pretty good but I don't like the way he presents his magic. To see what I mean, take a look at his C & B routine, it is on You tube. Some patter is silly (eg Staff of Jacob), some is just arrogant (eg "Watch me work") before he goes into a phase with three false transfers. This is one reason that Michael is not a household name. He is respected by magicians for his technique, but his presentation is not up to scratch. And presentation is more important.

[invicta420]

@CaraBrimleyRules That doesn't account for everything . If he controlled the signed red cards to the 2nd, 3rd, and forth from the top, when he double lifts you would see the second signed red backed card, but you don't, you see a blue back. We he turns over Penn's card you can see a flash of blue @ 3:43 Good try though.

[MrChrisnorwood]

tough break man, you were excellent

[vinnish]

"Muggles" is the word :)

[PuReHoTeNeRgY]

Harry Potter music...seriously =S....clever... 

[SirFishPudding]

Teller tries to keep the spirits of the cards down after Michael takes them.

[SuperFunkyAfroNinja]

well he didn't win, but he got 2 autographed cards worth a lot of money

oh and John's card

[HomeinHershey]

Beautiful, Just Beautiful.

[kunkushun1]

at 5:15 and 5:19 JOHN ROSS is like huh what , what the shit lol

[Virtuoosi125]

notice: Teller talk´s at 6:17

[zatoTWO]

if he didnt show the backs, he would have fooled them l0l

[FromX3ro2Hero]

@zatoTWO But then he loses the prestige :)

[vjose32]

@zatoTWO Perhaps, but then there would be no purpose to having them sign the cards.

[twoofakindmagic]

@zatoTWO I disagree, I'm fairly confident that they caught the double

[TheBradTobin]

The unholy three by darwin ortiz i believe.Great effect.
