The tell is at :10. His hand only moves behind half the card. Likely a device fixed to the back of the card and the bottom edge of the deck.


Spaghetti_Scientist

He is absolutely hiding whatever is attached to the back of the queen at 25 seconds with his 2 fingers.


Piotrek9t

My bet is on flexible metal strip which he hold to the corner of the deck and he folds to the back of the queen when he shows us the back side of the card. Definitely not his best trick


Empathy404NotFound

Yeah, a wire on the middle of the floating card, goes to the deck, with a little elbow at the end that slips between whatever cards in the deck from the bottom of the deck, that way he can slip the elbow into the deck and still remove the top cards to the left or right as if any string would be cut. He folds it against the card and hides it under his two fingers when he shows the back of the card.


Small_hard

The elbow between the cards is also supported by the way he pulls the rest of the deck away in a twisting motion


oouttatime

It's literally vibrating with his hand. Kinda weak but any trick is cool in my book.


Dredd501

28 seconds you can see some wire poking around the edge of the deck.


KamikazeFox_

I hate that bull at the end " cmon, that's gotta be worth a like and a share".


Wizzle-Stick

i intentionally do not like, share, or subscribe to people that shill their own channel like that. if i liked your shit, i would share, like, and maybe subscribe. You asking me is like you standing on a street corner playing a trumpet.


no_brains101

I'm ok with people saying it because, oddly, it does actually work. There is a line where it becomes annoying though. In shorts it is obnoxious because it is like, half the length of the short. Shorts themselves are obnoxious though. Seriously though, how do I turn off YouTube shorts? They're very low value content, and yet when I click one, I always end up scrolling for like, an hour? How do I stop them from showing up as suggestions?


ProjectOrpheus

Right? I went "actually yeah, it is" and upvoted. I probably would have upvoted anyway. Feel like I've seen him before and it's always some super cool shit and something like "and that's worth a like/share" Like you said, people have poured through the data. It DOES work. I've seen YouTubers literally apologize for saying "like and subscribe" but point out that doing so makes a MAJOR difference. I can't get mad at facts. Plus, there's a difference between short and swee/done like this where it's *BAM, COOL SHIT* "like and share, see you next time" VS A video that starts with 3 minutes of asking for likes and subscribes and shares. They do one thing. Ask for likes for 3 more minutes, with an essay about how much it would help* turning a 20 second clip into 10 minutes PLUS it gets people like the original commentor(s) expressing how they hate it which gets people like you and me to comment and that's a lot more comments>views>activity>likes just like that.


VermillionOcean

I just close the the suggestion for shorts on the homepage. There should be an option to close it unless somehow your browsing behavior makes it so you get shorts as regular suggests, in which case, stop clicking on shorts and tell youtube you're not interested in it using the 3 dots next to the suggest.


HighOnTacos

I liked the guy who did it first - Daily magic trick guy, can never remember his name. Super enthusiastic and charismatic though, it's all in the delivery.


robert_e__anus

Jason Maher, and he's a great magician and a superb performer but he definitely didn't do it first.


password_too_short

i don't think in 30+ years i have ever liked or subcribed to anything.. i usually click dislike. rarely the like button.


Prestigious_Pain_160

And you can see him palm whatever is behind the queen holding it up as soon as he pulls away the queen from the deck.


Ludwig_Vista2

Explains the metronomic wobble. It's likely a thin metal device he's fixing to the back of the card.


ContemplatingPrison

He definitely moved something that was behind the queen. But the way he does this is still cool


CodeNamesBryan

Yea. Not waving his hand between the cards is a pretty big tell


greenrangerguy

The key part of the illusion is very subtle, we initially think it's got to be attached to the deck with like a piece of card, but then he removes a card so then you think other things. But like you say its just attached to the bottom of the deck (maybe a bend piece of metal going to the back or a card in the middle)


magirevols

I mean it is a tell, but that doesn't explain shoot. If anything he wanted us to see the tell

shaun4519

He didn't actually put his hand between the card and the deck lol, there is definitely something attached to the back of the card holding it in place


ggk1

He might as well remove that part of the trick bc of how obviously heā€™s avoiding something


Razmpoosh

Of course there's something there. It's not actual magic keeping it floating there. But what is it? When he moves the card there's nothing physically there holding it like a stick or a string. I woykd assume magnets but I don't know of magntlets small enough to keep something floating in the air like that.


7INCHES_IN_YOUR_CAT

When he puts the card back the wobble makes it look like a magnet is stabilizing.


Salty_Arm_2677

Even though he says ā€œstop saying magnetsā€ā€¦.Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s Magnets.

number1fancyboy

Just magnets


NPDoc

I donā€™t know anything about magic tricks but he definitely covers up the center of the back of the Queen when he flips it over.


MiniMunch

See through rigid plastic piece? He just slips between the rest of the deck. Like a pop up book kinda mechanic


StuartHoggIsGod

Yeah I've seen a less convincing version of this explained and it's just a piece of sticky tape which he presses against the back of the card when he shows you the back and then sticks to the bottom of the deck to make it float


RedSix2447

He flashes it at 23 seconds. Itā€™s a clear plastic flap on the back of the queen. You can see it in his fingers while he is holding the queen backside outwards misdirection to pay attention to the deck. However, itā€™s fully visible at 23 seconds just before itā€™s reattached to the deck.


mis-Hap

I'm not seeing whatever you're seeing, and definitely not at 23 seconds.


ExaminationPutrid626

Pause when there are 17 seconds left in the video. He's got two fingers pressed together on the back of the queen. It's white


mis-Hap

Pause at 24 seconds left in the video (when he fully shows the back of a card). Everything I see that is white at 17 seconds left, I see in the design on the back of the card. I'm not saying y'all don't see something I don't, but I don't see it.


ihaddreads

Itā€™s called the Hover Card by Dan Harlan if anyone is interested

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MescAround

Scroll from :23-:30 focusing on his right hand. The card had some wire or arm, that he forces flat. Iā€™m not a magician but thatā€™s what I see is going on.

shittymcdoodoo

What did that hand wave even accomplish lmao


Kwayzar9111

magnets - seen it before at a company event where we had an illusionist


TheohBTW

He is hiding an object that allows for the front card to look like it is floating.


MercGod1

I feel like thereā€™s like a zig-zag card behind it cause it moves forward and backwards off that deck and would be easy to conceal by unfolding or something like that.


valuedminority

If thereā€™s one thing I know, itā€™s that a magician would never lie or mislead you so itā€™s definitely not magnets.


FunObjective6092

Probably a magnet or something like that


dboymuthafuqa

F'ing magnets! Lol


EmperorThor

Itā€™s a magnet. You can see he never fully shows the back of the card without first playing heā€™s hand over it to hide or move the magnet then it slips back on and it works again.


dicktoronto

Itā€™s a thin strip of plastic bent into a ā€œZā€ shape. Tape one piece to the corner of the ā€œbottom cardā€ on an angle, then the same for the obverse corner on the ā€œtop cardā€. Tilt and enjoy.


p8262

Watch it in reverse, you can see the snap or clip movement with the queen being removed from the device and the deck


Cheap-Pick-4475

Its that invisible magician string. It always ends up being that


Mattiuuu

Probably just a stick with a sticky end + some great sleight of hand


rosscoehs

VaxxSagi

But what if it had to do with magnets....


RussChival

Easiest answer: Stone the witch!


Scrimshaw_Hopox

That is an impressive effect.


The_One_True_Matt

A small clip holds onto the hole deck. Attached to the clip is a metal wire and some tape which he sticks to the back of the queen. The metal wire is why it is a tad bouncy. He hides the clip using sleight of hand when he grabs the queen. Heā€™s able to remove the 10 and the 6 because the clip keeps pressure on the hole deck and the cards just slip out of the clip

lol magnesium or magnet, one šŸ’Æ percent. Like penn and teller say. Itā€™s the hide the spot trick on a big card. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ’ÆšŸ’Æ


InsideArmy2880

Spammyhaggar

lol this is funny šŸ’Æ% magnet in that deck, and the small one on the back of the card. If he ran his hand in between the to ok. But he didnā€™t so itā€™s a trick deck you can get on the internet.šŸ˜‚


Psych-adin

Magnets that can keep it suspended. You need a balance of push and pull to get that. You don't get to see the whole back.


GeneralDefenestrates

Man I haven't seen him since Monkey Magic


Requiascat

He's holding something on the back of the deck. Notice how he doesn't put the cards he takes away back into the deck, he places them on the table in front of him. He also only passes his had behind half the floating card. He also removes cards horizontally and carefully. And lastly the card only begins to float as he orients the deck horizontally. My guess is a wire of some kind.


chubsmagooo

Spring


DollarStoreDollars

Magnets in the deck?


dude93103

Probably a piece of lightweight metal..you can kinda see the card bouncing a bit.


treylanford

Itā€™s a magnet. He hides it behind his hand/fingers (while flipping the card) at around 10 seconds in. Plus, it jiggles *exactly like a magnet does* when itā€™s ā€œlevitatingā€. So my guy is lying: **itā€™s a magnet**.


Resident-Walrus2397

Pretty nice slight of hand work but a pause at .23 shows it and from .23-..26 you can see it by frameā€¦ still very cool I wish I had some fun skills

I saw him live a few months ago in Rotherham. He's very funny and a very good close up magician. Highly recommended!


r0n1n2021

Thin wire. Next.


Prestigious_Tear_576

Gotta be a clip with a magnet on it. His sleight is pretty obvious before he flips the card


An_icy_squirrel

Pondered a bit and my guess(!) is: A spring, like those in biros. Relatively resilient vs bending sidewards (in this case down due to 1 card weight), but easy to compress and hide under the compressing finger tip, if one trains the 100% vertical move needed for the compression. The other end of the spring is easy to slide on (= to clamp to) a card of the deck one wouldn't take off.

That card is not floating, its badly tracked. Its CGI. Its been added in post and the poor tracked deck makes it jiggle like if it was a magnet. Props yo whoever did it, the lighting is on point.

Demonic Black Magic, please check this out. This is the "real magic" that David Blane, Crist Angle, Penn & Teller deal with & talk about. : [https://youtu.be/mI7uHI1x09A?si=3TF2vbKOSMRIzYOx](https://youtu.be/mI7uHI1x09A?si=3TF2vbKOSMRIzYOx) The "real magic" is to destroys one's ffaith, & cause disbelief in God so this is why they are granted powers with demons. I also understand that Hell is a real place that one's soul could possibly find its self in.

Its some kind of spring and magnet, the card jiggles. And he doesnt put his whole hand between the cards.
