@sohailrahiq Is it really important to know how he did? The real retard is the one who does not appreciate such a nice piece of magic for what it is.

Still a damn good trick from a guy with one functioning hand. Pretty impressive. Shame everybody is a magician these says.

first cara, this dude is really good. and there are methods to producing such effect's. I can assure it is not the only you explained it. and good magic such as this is always based on performance. do you think for one moment that ppl think he is doing real magic. ppl know there is a method of doing it. but it's that suspension of disbelief that ppl love. anyways, that's all I got.

@maximilianitoaguirre Yes the art stands or falls on the art and elegance of the presentation I agree. I never disagreed with that or challenged that premise. I'm just explaining the method as a service to interested magic students watching and wanting to learn.

@CaraBrimleyRules in magic as in life the most important is love, art, and elegance...

lavand has all of them bro...

@AsherWong That's fair enough Asher, but he's just putting a ball back from his hand when he puts the second one in with his fingertips.

Id never heard of this man till tonight. Probably because I dont have a great knowledge of the greats and his language is not english. He is a brilliant magician.

[AsherWong]

@CaraBrimleyRules I dont know the method, but I think this is great magic.

[lavaking]

Just out of curiosity, why does he say "In the pocket" in English?

what a cool discussion in these comments - a treat to read and so rare on youtube.

@sykregen784 Interesting comment about magic forums. Even there, the discussion tends to be limited, mostly because of the greed associated with currently marketed effects. These are old principles rebadged but there is a wish to hawk them to young magicians who may not know all this. Buying effects just to find the secret is a very bad idea, but a lot of it goes on.

If a layman reads my comments, I don't care. They are unlikely to be interested, understand, or even remember.

[sykregen784]

@CaraBrimleyRules I agree with you that following some invisible protocol would be foolish, but the way I see it, I'm not, because even thought mainly magicians write on these pages, then writing something that exposes it will perhaps ruin for someone does not know the secret, that was my only quarrel with your comment.

Because I simply believe that magic talk should be contained to magic forums.
