David Blaine: The Magic Way

Blaine: What was your card?

‐3 of spades. ‐Turn over the top card.

Holy...

When you're quarantined,

you have to try to come up with new ways to do magic.

‐That's... ‐What?!

This is my first time doing FaceTime magic

while social distancing while I can't see your faces.

A whole new level of magic.

Hello. That's so cute.

Watch what happens to the ace of spades. Look.

Oh, my ‐‐ No, no, no.

‐That's crazy! ‐No, no!

Guys, do you want me to teach you a magic trick?

Yeah.

You pinch the top of your ear,

and then it looks like you're pulling a hole through it.

Yeah, that's good. You learned that quick.

Blaine: Think of somebody important to you,

but somebody simple that you would know first and last name.

‐Okay. ‐Okay. Now you're gonna ‐‐

you're gonna spell their first and last name

facedown into a pile on the table.

...O‐A‐N‐N‐E.

R‐E‐I‐D. Okay.

Lift up the big pile that you're holding.

Say your card out loud that you thought of.

9 of clubs.

Look what card you just spelled to.

Nah. Aaaah!

‐Open it up. ‐Oh! ‐

Reach into your back pocket.

All: Ohh!

Gee, how did you do that?

Yo! No!

Aah!

Oh, my God!

‐Jack of clubs. ‐

Wow!

That was mind‐boggling. It's mind‐boggling.

All: Ohh!

‐Lookit! ‐Oh!

Oho!

Hold on, hold on. Let's do it again.

Aah!

‐Ohh! ‐Aah!

Oh!

Ohh!

Yeah!

Yo!

Ohhh!

Oh, no!

No, no, no, no, no.

‐Oh, my God! ‐Sorcery!

Cool.

How you doing, man?

What's up, bro?

Dre, think of any card in the deck

that you want, but make it a card that's important to you.

Okay? ‐I got it.

See your card right here, Dre. Okay. Right here.

How? How?

Yo, who the are you, man?

So take one out that you like...

and make sure it's not signed.

Yeah. Good. And I won't look.

Let everybody ‐‐ Do you want to change it,

or you like that one?

I won't look if you sign it.

You all see it? Everybody saw it?

You all saw it? ‐They didn't see it.

Okay. It doesn't matter.

And you signed it as well? ‐No, he didn't sign it yet.

Okay. Sign it. Yeah, yeah, sign it.

And to make sure I don't cheat...

just everybody watch.

Now ‐‐ No, but hold on.

To make sure I don't cheat ‐‐

No, but look, to make sure I don't cheat,

can you hold my right wrist with your left hand?

And, LeBron, can you hold my left wrist with your right hand?

This is so I cannot do sleight of hand.

Fair? ‐Fair.

You'll give me mobility, but just don't let go.

It's like I have handcuffs on. All right.

I'll take the card. I won't look at it.

This is your card, yes? ‐Yeah.

So, look, I put it ‐‐ Let's estimate.

I put it ‐‐ Give or take. Right?

‐Yeah. ‐About middle, right.

Maybe higher than the middle.

Little bit higher than the middle.

What was the suit of your card?

You can tell me that. ‐Hearts.

It was hearts.

So there's clubs, spades, or diamonds.

Name a suit to eliminate.

Clubs.

Clubs.

Hearts, clubs.

That leaves spades or diamonds.

Which do you want? It's up to you.

What do I want to eliminate?

‐Which one? It's up to you. ‐Spades.

‐You're sure? ‐Yeah.

My hands are held.

If I squeeze the deck, look,

first I get rid of the clubs, then I get rid of the hearts.

Then I get rid of the spades.

See, the whole deck disappears except for the diamonds...

...and of course, the card that you signed...

While you were holding his damn hands, brah.

Man, you seen the deck get smaller and smaller.

There's nothing. You can ‐‐ Here.

The deck is gone.

Take one out, but don't look at it.

You take one. Don't look at it.

Don't look at it. Take one out. Don't look at it.

Go ahead. Don't look at it.

Take one but don't look at it. Grab one. Don't look at it.

Good. Don't look at it.

No. Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

So obviously, what we're gonna do is I use an invisible die.

An invisible die. That's yours. Take it.

So roll it right here.

Good. And everybody ‐‐ No, but everybody's gonna have

a different number on that die.

For example, between 1 and 6 ‐‐

What did you ‐‐ what did you see?

‐Man. ‐No. What did you see?

Between 1 and 6.

‐I saw a 4. ‐A 4.

Which one of those cards do you want?

Which one of those cards you want?

They all took cards. Which one? You want that one?

If you're not sure, you can change.

You want that one? Can you turn it over, let me see it?

What did you roll?

‐Oh! ‐Let me see.

I cheated. Yeah, because look. Show us what you got.

Show us what you got. Turn it.

See? Oh, wait. Turn it over. Turn it over.

Oh, my God.

Turn it over. Turn it over.

‐Oh, my God. ‐Turn it over. See?

Everybody's gonna have a different number.

You understand?

Everybody's gonna have a different number.

So look. Here. You know what? Roll it right here.

Roll it right on top.

Right on top of the cards, right there.

Everybody's got a different number.

Okay. What'd you roll, a two?

Yes.

And you stopped ‐‐ What did you roll?

I rolled a two.

So you both rolled twos?

‐Yeah. ‐Hold on. So wait.

Which one of the 4s do you want?

I want this one.

Chappelle, let me see what it is.

Turn it.

It's gonna be a 2.

If it's a 2, I'm going home.

Let me see, Chappelle.

I'm saying.

Ohhh!

No, wait. No, no, no, wait.

No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on.

Wait, no, no. But listen. I‐I cheated. I cheated.

I knew that the invisible die

was only going to roll the four and then the two.

Turn over the other ones. Turn 'em. Go ahead.

I mean, come on, David!

It's not even like ‐‐

This is why the blacks hate magic.

Aaaah!

The mouth is completely empty. There's nothing there.

Women: Aaah!

God.

Ohh, noooo!

Aaaaah!
