So each card leaves the screen and is replaced with one of a different size. This is *really* very obvious and utterly lame.
It is immediatly apparent to me, but the guy gets kudos for making me laugh! WTG!
“The assumptions your eyes and brain are making?” Does the camera have a brain and make assumptions too?
Some of you posters realize this is a joke, don’t you?
What pisses me off is that I picked the ace at the very beginning when all cards were equal in sized.
dabnabit…how he know?
@4 – You got it!
I put card tricks on the entertainment list just under mimes, except for filmed card tricks, and they dont even register as entertainment.
I was so primed for this one after that last YouTube card trick where everyone’s, clothes, background, table cloth, etc were changed during the trick without anyone noticing. Remember that one?
This time I was going: Those aren’t actually human hands. No… He’s not really speaking English & I haven’t noticed. No… Time is running backwards… No… He’s a transvestite or something…

Well darnit, mark, I’ve spent 30 years perfecting close-up tricks with coins and cards, and now you just dismiss them all. What can I do to change your mind? [I admit, gootube won’t cut it] Last guy I showed a really cool trick paid me $250 just to see how it was done. Nothing like close-up magic in a bar (not that he’d ever be able to duplicate the trick)!

Psychological card tricks don’t work on apes. It does work on man, however, but only because he has entered the next higher dimension, Mind. Who’s to say that Mind is the last stage? Perhaps in the next higher dimension there are card tricks being performed without hands moving them.
9. Bubba- guess I am just one of those people bored by card tricks. Maybe its my attention span, I dont even like to play cards. Maybe because I think for a living, I dont want to think for leisure. But doing card tricks on TV! or video!, man, that is boring. maybe over a pint or 2 of Guiness, but I will get mad if you dont show me the trick.
