He gets a random girl, one he has never met before, to pull a random card out of the deck (a fresh deck that he let her shuffle as much as she liked) then he asked her to take a pen and sign her name on that card.

She then slipped the card back into the deck, and was again allowed to shuffled the deck.

He then took the entire deck and THREW all the cards at the inside of the front window of the bus, after which all the cards flew, bounced off the glass etc, but one card remained... stuck on the glass at the end.... HER SIGNED CARD.

Here's the real kicker: He asked the bus driver to stop, whereupon he got out, asked the girl to get off the bus with him, showed her the card.... IT WAS STUCK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW... not the inside.


Now, I would LOVE for some of you self-proclaimed brainiacs to have seen that first-hand, then sit there and try to explain how he did it. :1orglaugh
Yeah, that's a good one: https://youtube.com/watch?v=2mu0Mj5MkFI

I saw Criss angel make an 9000lb elephant disappear about 10 feet away from me. I don't think anyone will top that.

Doesn't anyone here have a for-instance of their own to tell?
A friend of mine who makes his living as a showman regulary performs the following "trick" with over a 90% success rate.......

Every day for 7 days prior to one of his performances he purchases and reads cover to cover a daily newspaper and memorises every word, ( yes his memory really is that good ).

On the night of his show he randomly picks 7 members of the audience to come up on stage and to each he gives 1 copy of the 7 newspapers that he has purchased and read in the previous 7 days.

He then instructs them to to spend a few minutes scanning through the newspapers, ( while his back is turned ), and then for each to pick out a random sentence from anywhere in the newspaper of around 10 - 15 words and write it down on a peice of paper that they have been given.

Then he asks another member of the audience to select one of the 7 participants he has on stage and to collect from the selected participant a sealed envelope with that persons randomly selected sentence writen inside and hold it high in the air for all to see.

Next the showman focus's his mind for a moment before speaking out loud the sentence that he belives is contained in the sealed envelope and then asks the person holding up the envelope to open it and tell him whether he is right or wrong.

In at least 90% of the occasions he performs this trick he gets it word for word accurate , ( the participant who's envelope is selected is then asked to confirm what he had written to show there has been no slight of hand involved )

My friend has been performing this trick for several years now, ( I can assure anyone that there is no slight of hand involved ), yet still cannot fully explain how he does it, however he does suspect that there is some sort of telepathy or thought suggestion involved operating at a subconscious level.

Other than knowing it's a trick or illusion of some sort, no... but I can appreciate the shock value. Some of those people, especially a few of the women, were utterly mortified over what they saw. One or two even appear to be traumatized... that Criss Angel is one twisted dude. :D

You didn't pick one at random. You picked from a deck of all-identical cards. Somewhere along the line, he swapped decks. Oldest trick in the book... :-/

You armchair quarterbrains kill me. :1orglaugh

When someone holds a deck of cards right in front of your eyes there is no room to "switch" them unless you look away. No one standing close enough to see this looked away, except for the guy doing the trick of course.

It was done some other way. The way you're suggesting is wrong, sorry. If you'd read what I said earlier you'd know that the deck was shown open-face several times, it was even passed into my own hands for inspection.


Really, why do people even try to "explain" it? Most if not all of those who smirk and think they know how it's done are talking straight out of their asses, and really, aren't these sorts of magic tricks just supposed to be enjoyed? :D

Mind reading tricks using cards is simply amazing. :thumbsup

That 'cough the head fell off' trick is the freakiest thing I've seen so far. Crazy fucking shit! :)

I was in a local bar, this was maybe 12 or 13 years ago. I'm standing around with friends, drinking, flirting with the cute coat check girl..... and this average - a bit goofy looking guy - just sidles up and starts into his shpiel holding a deck of cards. I'm curiious so I play along.

It started out the usual way, he fans the deck and asks me to pick a card, don't show him, then slip it back in the deck, shuffle it etc. Then he starts trying to guess my card (10 of diamonds). He sifts through the deck, pulls up a card and says "This your card?"
I say "No"
He does this a few more times, each time getting it wrong.
He shakes his head as if confused as to why it's not working. My friends are snickering at him now. THEN.... he says "hmm, something's not right, I'll have to try something here..." and he inverts his hand over the deck and smacks the deck up into his hand with his other hand.
*SMACK*
He then hands me the deck and says "Find your card in there, make sure it's there"

I go sifting through the deck and can't see the 10 of diamonds anywhere. I look at him and say it's not there, he smiles and says "Look up"
I look up and there's my card, stuck about 8 feet off the floor, on the cieling. (we were standing in a spot in the bar where the cieling just happened to be lower than in other areas)
"Is that your card?"
I'm like "Yep, that be it"
The guy wasn't tall enough to reach up and retrieve the card. Me being 6'4", he asked me to get it for him, which I did.

Everyone within visual range of us was blown away, including me.

I offered to buy the guy a drink, and in fact everyone I was with offered him one, but he just thanked us for playing along and then blended back into the crowd and I never saw him again. Still don't know who the fuck he was, but that was on amazing trick.

How much did you have to drink

Describe it. I don't know if I've seen that one yet.

CD, my guess is the card was already there and you were forced to pick the same one that was already up there.

How? I have a deck of card where every other card is a 10, hearts. They are slighty longer than the other cards and depending how you hold them they will always be on top. On top of a random card. I can show you the deck as normal cards and i can show you the deck as only 10's depending how i hold them.

I can make you pick a 10 hearts as many times as i want. Its nothing amazing, just a simple trick.

Fucking hell you guys, READ for crap sakes.

I already said several times, the guy handed over the deck to me, I shuffled and inspected it. It was never switched. There was no card "already on the ceiling", it was a somewhat low ceiling, there were maybe a dozen people standing closeby who would have noticed if some guy reached up and stuck a card there... and the guy wasn't even tall enough to reach it.


AGAIN... why is it so important for some of you to figure out everything of this type described or shown to you? I find that I can be happy just enjoying it for what it was... a pretty impressive card trick.

Now be happy. :D

I find it really strange that you keep saying this... Everyone tries to figure out how tricks are done, that's the whole point... if you didn't care it wouldn't be interesting or entertaining.

Look at all those Criss Angel videos, the first thing anyone in the crowd says is "how did you do that!!" I don't get why you'd make a long ass post describing every detail of the trick and then not expect people to try to explain it...

fuzebox 09-17-2006 10:13 PM
This clip is pretty cool, he's doing very basic tricks but it highlights how he uses distraction to accomplish simple disappearing tricks.
