The overall best magic trick (video)
 

This is my vote for #1



if you have one better, I'd like to see it.

no chris angel please.

Damn that was great!

pretty fuckin amazin

That's funny as hell is what it is. If you can't figure out how he does it, though, you're a real moron. It's amazingly simple.

his performance and execution of the "magic trick" was excellent.

Is he wearing "blue screen" pants???

kinda harsh.. i guess probably 90% of us are morons.. i dont understand how he does it

Don't watch if you don't want to know!.

lol wtf ? that was amazing:D

OK, agreed, probably too harsh. I should've said if you can't figure out how he does it, you're not a creative thinker.

That said, this trick's success is 1% in the "secret" and 99% in the execution. That's what Copperfield does so well is perfect execution.

But if you know how David Blaine "levitates" on an open sidewalk, then you know how Copperfield does this trick.

nicely done :thumbsup

Now I do feel dumb :) Never thought this trick is THAT simple, I believed it involved some complex enginerry like "blue screen pants" mentioned above. And dammit, just scissors and practice...

Most of the best magic "tricks" involve simple (if any) props and LOTS of practice. That's why making a helicopter disappear doesn't impress me. Making a coin disappear out of my own hand impresses me.

Wow, awesome magic trick!

OMG incredible lollll i never see this before amasing.

ahhh damn :)

What that kid does in that video is like 10% of what Copperfield does in his. I mean assuming that's how he does it, then he's pretty well contorting his body or there's more to how he does it. I mean seriously take another look.

He is old school but David Blain is where it's at.

Is there a video about how he does the levitation trick? Or is that as simple as just having strings and a crane nearby?

This is the best eye trick, for anyone who knows what I'm talking about.

Strings and a crane. :1orglaugh Why would you need that, when the secret to that trick isn't in the air, it's on the ground.

Damn cool...

I was hoping that people would post their favorite "magic" trick/illusion
