What do you think of his magic trick?

Is it pure magic trick or do you think he got "friends from the other side" ?

Decide for yourself!

What do you mean "pure magic trick"? There is no such thing

The purest form of magic is slight of hand, all magic is based of this simple premise

 

[AJUMP23]

It is all illusion.

Those videos always make me feel weird. Like who starts screaming "NOOOoo!! WOOOWW NOOOO!!!" all excited from a fricken card trick? I assume those people are planted there to show excitement and build his brand.

Exactly - [paid] actors.

He's clearly got friends from the other side, and he will burn in hell with the rest of the heathens for consorting with demons

I didn't watch the video but all you'd have to do to fly up like that would be fart really hard. It's happened to me a couple times.

Because tricks are what whores do for money.

 

[AJUMP23]

the true magic is no ugly chicks in his videos.

"i will show you something crazy. You ready?"
"Yes"
20 seconds of "magic waving a cloth"
"AAAAAHHH"

The donkey vanished. That bamboo stick turning into a snake is weird. There´s no snake in the glasses (reflection), but he´s holding something else. Remember, they are all in and just pretend to be "amazed".

But gotta say, that weird card trick where half is missing was dope.

These are all fake and the "stunned" passerby he stopped is always in on it.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Maybe its because ive been stuck in LA for so long but im always amazed that other people cant spot bad actors right away.

Nobody talks or makes gestures like this.

He has friends on the other side...of the camera.

Well at least he doesn't have a punchable face like that dynamo guy...

 

[EverydayBeast]

Debatable it's one of those things you need to see in real life.

Thats why i kind of mostly liked David Blaine. Not for his illusion tricks but more for his endurance (no food, underwater, no sleep etc).

But what OP posted, there is a ton of guys doing this but seems like they come in waves. Remember Chris Angel? Or that guy from the UK, i forgot the name.

 

[HarryKS]

I like the magic trick where he turns himself tall and handsome.

 

[trikster40]

These "street magicians" have more production and film editing than you would believe. He's good, really good, but camera angles/editing/paid actors just the same.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Sleight of hand is the only good magic. Most everything else uses some cheap gimmick which when you know the secret is corny as fuck.

depends on how they exploit their relations, some are just mediums. lying to people about how you do things is a bad sign though. best to keep away from them, it's a different world that drives most people mad.
