I, being god and all, like to grant people special powers every now and then to make life interesting. I gave him the ability to change the face of cards.

Since the video is blocky, he prolly combined some clips so it looks like he can do those tricks...

Ur right... if you look at the cards when he is about to flip it over, it freezes for a second.

It's impossible.
Think about those two words - it's impossible.
As in the movie is a fake.

First of all it would be 1000x easier to edit the images so that it shows 2 of hearts instead of put in new frames recorded at a different time.

Second of all just because you don't or cannot concieve how he did it doesn't mean it's fake. Stuff like this happens every day. They are called "magic" tricks. The reason they are called "magic" is because most people cannot explain how it's done, it's not publicly known.

This is possibly in real life, it just takes a lot of practice. A lot. Go watch a magic act sometime and you'll know I'm not lying. They use tricks and slight of hand to do many things that manipulate the cards to do what they want.

But you can see it jump a bit, and freeze a bit when he flips them over.

And those Robot pants from Wallace And Gromit. Anyways, there were a few moments where I noticed he was using a slight of hand trick to hide the cards. He's honestly just very good.

Isn't the word 'sleight'?

EDIT:
In fact, I'm pretty sure of it now.
QUOTE(dictionary.com = "sleight")
  1. Deftness; dexterity.
  2. A clever or skillful trick or deception; an artifice or stratagem.

heehee..

It's real.
Spoiler Alert? happy.gif Highlight for some anwsers:


Check 0:57-1:101. He shows you all 4 cards as being 10's for the 2nd time. What he does is show you the bottom card everytime and takes one card off the top of the deck.

The kings: The first red king he picks up, he actually picks up two cards. After he shows you the bottom card, he places it on top of the pile and he discards the 2 or 10 that as on top of the pile. He then takes from the middle of the pile to show you the black king. He picks up two cards and does the same thing, so he ends up with the two kings again.

So the last 20 seconds of the video is the easiest to distungish... I'm sure you can find out the rest of the tricks if you want to analyize it. It's mostly just like... the same shit, picking up two cards... using a little math would help you.

For all you that said the video was fake or edited, there are no signs of editting and to do either method of editting: mixxing multiple videos together or changing the card values would be damn near impossible without shit loads of patience. There is no blockiness or jumping when i play the video from my harddrive. Owned happy.gif.

You people need to see David Blaine: Street Magic... he just goes around and does random magic acts right in front of random people, letting them do everything really, then he somehow makes it whatever. Like, to this one person, he had him write down his name onto a 6 of hearts, and placed it somewhere in the deck. David then handed the whole deck to the guy and had him shuffle it. He took it back from him and flipped over the first card. It was the 6 of hearts with his name on it. He shoved it into the deck, then had the guy pull off the top card. It was a 9 of clubs and he had him put it back ON THE TOP! He then pulled off seemingly the same card after showing that he had nothing in his palm, he pulled the top card off and it was once again that 6 of hearts. He then bent the card so you could obviously see it sitting on top of the deck. He shoved it in the middle of the deck {it's bent mind you} and then placed his hand just hovering over the deck, and all of a sudden, the bent card 'appeared' on the top and it was the same one.

I have a slow computer, so I see that vidio already slowly. and it always jumps everytime I see it JUST before he flips every time.

Yeah I saw the David Baline street magic two times. It is pretty amazing how he does it. He can even jump cards from the bottom on the deck to the top. And levitate...

ADDITION:
Try watching the video in slow it might help even though I could not catch him switching the cards at all. Must have taken lots of practise... Rightclick on bar > Playspeed >> Slow.

Put speed fast, then hear his voice, if it goes rapid, I think he changes the cards. If he messes up, I bet he does it again repeating.
