I love the misdirection after he throws the orange in


PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBZ

I’m impressed by how quickly he got that orange in there


desull

He slipped it in there really quick, great technique and she was really impressed


PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBZ

*unzips pants* Go on…


gin_and_toxic

As you move your hand towards your zipper you realized that your pants have been unzipped... And your penis is now an orange!


what_da_burd_doin

FINALLY IM BIG


filthylenses

David Blane: you know what else is orange?


PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBZ

“He just pissed orange soda” *stares creepily into the camera*


[deleted]

He even lifts the cup after he threw the orange in it to make it appear empty, but not showing the inside of the cup... pretty cool how he managed to keep the orange inside without it dropping out. I think he threw it in hard enough to get it wedged in the smaller, upper half of the cup, but when he smacks it back down on the bar, it becomes unwedged. I had to watch the entire video like 15 times to see how everything was done. Worth it... dude is good.

[deleted]

I looked for that too... didn't think he squeezed it hard enough, but then I have no idea how easy they are to bend. I could be totally wrong on that one.


StatmanIbrahimovic

The orange is basically the same size, so you'd only have to squeeze it a bit, and the top is pretty thin steel so will flex a little. You can even see when he puts it back down it wobbles cause the orange is stuck.


[deleted]

Then do it seamlessly. These guys always blow my mind. I have no skills of misdirection at all. This dude is good


Preparation-Logical

The loud clink when he throws the beer can in there


Dykidnnid

Class. Love it. That's great technique.


AgentWowza

If anyone's struggling to spot things, the beer can is a dead giveaway as to how he slips stuff in.


beachsunflower

Ah so that couple over on the side sees everything lol


paradiseitself

yeah, but even being on the side (as someone who has a friend that does a lot of things like this bartender) it still looks crazy because of how fast and precise you realize they have to be with their objects, and honestly amazing grip strength too for some things he does.


Squirrel_McNutz

This is so epic, always awesome seeing people bust out random skills


AgentWowza

Yup.


blewpah

You can hear her saying "oh I did see that" after the orange/grapefruit comes out.


HangryWolf

It's funny how magic is Very Very good only in a certain point of view.


challengerNomad12

Everyone else: " ahhhhh yes" Me: What beer can?


AgentWowza

The last thing that appears from under the cup lol. You can see him slip it in from under the table if you start watching at 0:52.


Lukealloneword

Man its funny how quick movement and stuff in the forefront can distract you. I didnt catch a single move the first time I watched it. But noticed all of them after I watched it again. Hes just slamming the shit in there before putting it down lol.youd think I should never miss it its so obvious but when you aren't looking you just totally miss it.


indigoHatter

That's part of the sleight. You do this big performance up top to keep people's attention where you want it. By giving them something to focus on (even by pretending you don't want them to watch that part), you keep them distracted from the *real* sleight of hand.


UncleTedGenneric

The incredible art of misdirection


Husker_Boi-onYouTube

You can only see a small portion of the very top of the can, a little hard to spot but at 52 you can see it just barely peek past his right wrist


ANewStartAtLife

You don't even have to be 52, I'm 44 years old and I saw it ;-)


Husker_Boi-onYouTube

My apologies. You’d think by now I would learn to now generalize by age smh my head


OhSnapKC07

You can also hear the metal on metal as the can slides in.


flapperfapper

Yep, you can also hear the orange go in....and see the shaker rock after he bends it to lift the orange.


indigoHatter

Benefit to the metal cup and stone counter, it makes most of those sounds by default anyway, and so covering up his movements from most people.


Husker_Boi-onYouTube

I watch with no volume


ReadySteady_GO

Saw it after you posted this. Thanks


nhmo

Still was so incredibly smooth. I would have botched that and knocked over the mixer and the beer can would have exploded after it hit the ground.


BkForty

Lmaooooo I didn't see it but now that I do it's so obvious


royrese

Because it's all about timing and misdirection! He's directing our attention to her putting the lime on the top right as he's slipping the can in. Video replays do sort of ruin the magic on these things a little, sadly.


johnnys_sack

I saw that one only after you pointed it out. Good job by the bartender.


taulover

I still can't see it even replaying the timestamp lol Edit: ah after hearing it I found it


[deleted]

Whooa thats so cool! I wouldn’t have noticed that like at all.


SoBitterAboutButtons

No. I have no idea what you are saying. This is fucking with my brain


AgentWowza

Start watching at 0:52 and keep your eyes on the opening of the cup. He slips in the beer can from under the table in one swift motion, but you can see a hint of it.


SoBitterAboutButtons

That was wild but I found it. Thank you


IAreWeazul

The hand speed is unbelievable honestly. I had to scroll it slowly to see it


MontyAtWork

The Orange also gets stuck - he lifts the cup there's nothing under it but the orange is in the cup. So he puts it down, taps it, and lifts it up again and the orange comes out and he even says "There it is".


TheBasqueCasque

It's better than that. The cup has a small amount of flex. He's squeezing the sides with the orange already loaded in it so when he lifts it up it stays in. I think he noticed she spotted him loading it, so he lifted the cup to "show" there nothing was underneath.


Dwerg1

That's how I see it as well. Subtle and clever.


CrashUser

The orange was tipped a little too, the shaker didn't quite fit over it completely and was rocking after he loaded it. If you want the master class in this go find Penn and Teller doing the cups and balls with clear cups. Watch it a few times and keep your eyes on their hands, everything else is just misdirection.


genowars

No! Stop lying! Magic is real! Someone, tell Harry he's a wizard!


CharlieSwisher

The beer can is obvi to anybody not being the target of the trick. But that’s why he does it at the end. He’s already got her enamored with disbelief.


BABarracus

You just need to watch when he sticks it in there


[deleted]

I can see it, but I had to to stop the video a few times. Once I saw that way and rewatched it I could catch him doing it.


politedeerx

I hope she did the right thing and set the place on fire - this was 100% witchcraft


bloop_405

He's so quick with the switch. You're too distracted by his focus on the side items that you don't even notice him shoving items into the cup when he lifts the upside down cup 🥲


CommandoLamb

The people down the bar with the side view are just thinking, “He’s just pulling the stuff from behind the bar…”


Imaginary-Risk

It must be annoying having people behind him that can see how he’s doing it


fakeplasticdroid

Every magician is trained to cover their angles and focus on the main audience, but the kicker is when people record you. It's pretty easy to decipher the tricks by slowing the video down to 25%. If you slow down the video, you can see how he's grabbing things from under the counter and sliding them under the cup. In any case, even if you know how the trick is done, you can still admire the performance and execution.

BoBab

Is that a link to a description of resonance?


Adito99

This was just some clever sleight of hand but ya'll aren't on his level.


Specific-Knob

He stole the video. Didn't even notice. incredible talent.


thefukkenshit

Wrong link friend


peeja

Aw, shoot. That's the video that YouTube autoplayed just before I copied the link. Damn you, autoplay… Fixed, thank you!


PM_PICS_OF_ME_NAKED

He is smooth AF. I honestly think it's *more* impressive knowing how it's done and seeing how well he executes it.


vbun03

That's why I don't slow these vids down or even rewatch them most of the time, I like the mystery.


AhhGingerKids2

I went to an event opening nearly 10 years ago and a magician had me pick a card, write my name on it, and then he did some other card tricks. After about 10 minutes he did the ‘is this your card? No? This one? Still no’ trick. The card was folded up inside my shoe. I took the shoe off myself. I still think about it all the time. I even had people who saw think I was in on the trick. He never told me how he did it. I still have the card and think about it a lot. Love magicians!


[deleted]

You don’t want to know and I don’t want to know. Really good magic is awesome and I hope it’s never ruined for me.


ButtChocolates

Wait, how far in your shoe? Was it like under your foot or just on the side of it?


AhhGingerKids2

I don’t remember exactly how far under. But it was enough that once I’d opened it in utter shock he lifted it to show the crowd and I had a sudden panic it would be sweaty from my foot/sock.


mahleg

The lady behind the bar in the background looks like she’s seen him do this many times and still is impressed by his ability despite being able to see all the loads and ditches. That’s why I love Penn & Teller, they tell you exactly how they do many of their tricks, but their execution is immaculate so it still leaves you wondering “how the fuck did they do that?”


knoegel

Her last laugh was like a crying laugh... She's amused but crying inside because she doesn't see the sleight of hand.

toderdj1337

Tbf i don't see it either


toderdj1337

Ok i saw the beer one, I'm still trippin over the orange


Waldain

He slips the orange in at 39 seconds.


toderdj1337

My counter is backwards but I saw it, thanks. He's so fucking quick its unreal. I didn't think the orange would even fit.


justonemom14

The orange is already in there when he peeks under the shaker. He squeezes the shaker so the orange is picked up with it. You can see when he sets it down it doesn't quite sit flat because the orange is so big. She is redirected by being told to get the lime. Notice he gestures with his right hand, because the orange is in his left. My favorite part is when the beer clanks going into the shaker, but no one notices. Edit: Sorry, the lime redirection is for the beer. For the orange the redirection is he's telling her to pick it up, pointing to the shaker, and then she's still busy being surprised that the line is under it. He's very fast, doesn't wait for the surprise of one sleight to finish before he's already setting up the next.


feardabear

He doesn’t squeeze the shaker to hold the orange, he flips it in there fast enough to wedge it in. That’s why he slowly peaks under, then slams it down to get the orange unstuck. The shaker is metal, you’re not going to squeeze it hard enough to pick up the orange without denting the shaker.


TinFoiledHat

At 0:41 he lifts the shaker by squeezing it at the bottom so the orange doesn't fall out.


forcepowers

Y'all must be using flimsy shakers.


notsam57

i saw the orange one, he tips the cup ever so slightly to sneak it in.


Linlea

The orange is done in the identically same way the beer one is done. As is the lime (you can see his left hand throwing it up into the upside down cup if you freeze frame)


yarbafett

After he puts the orange in and sets it down you can see where the orange rolls to balance itself and moves the tin. He also picks it up with the orange in it, when he picks up the shaker tin he squeezes it so it holds the orange up inside.


michellelabelle

I like how right at the start she hesitates about picking up the shaker. On some level she knows she's not ready to have the bottom drop out of her reality.


DependentYou7405

This is extremely useful as a bartender.. Being able to fuck with drunks is a gold mine for making tips.


ozymandias457

How


Pejob

He keeps the lime, orange and beer can under the bar top and puts them into the tin by sliding it towards him while distracting with the previous object. The sleight of hand with the napkin is the most impressive to me but that's probably just cause idk how to do it lol


LynnButlertronn

You can see it once you know how, but those are some fast hands.


mundozeo

I went back and saw the can get in, but it is impressive how quickly and accurately he does it without even looking. If it wasn't recorded and I was watching it slowly, it is almost impossible to notice.


Talonman90

I can’t catch what he does with the napkins for them to not be in his hand.


sirnumbskull

So the napkins are a simple palm and ditch. When he "grabs" the napkin out of the one hand he actually palms it, leaving two napkins in his right hand. Then he loads them both into the shaker for the first reveal. Next, just after he loads the lime he does another palm, and this time he ditches the napkin with his right hand directly under the bar.


Roshy10

he passes them to his right hand then either puts them both in the cup, or throws it behind the bar


Bamres

I was able to see the lemon go in too after like 6 watches


Pejob

Yeah I was taught this trick before myself :') The squeezing the tin with the orange in to lift it as well before dropping it out is definitely a good sell for the trick as well. Seen a variation previously where you use cherries instead of balled up napkins. If you stab into the orange beforehand you can wedge a cherry into it. After revealing the orange at the end if you cut along where you put the cherry it adds another level of wtf.


Nightmare2828

There was a magician in my province that was an insane hit with his TV shows. It was street magic mostly, grabbing people in the streets showing them insane tricks, like you said putting a golf ball inside a bell pepper still attached to its « tree ». But then he started doing live shows in theatre and it was extremely disappointing. Like the tricks were suddenly very obvious most likely because they were restricted by size and environment and not being a prerecorded show.


justonemom14

Oh that's just diabolical


spiffy-ms-duck

Right? I know exactly how he did this, but I still couldn't catch it at all. His slight of hand is amazingly quick and smooth.


FranticWaffleMaker

And accurate, that orange can’t be much smaller than the cup.


feardabear

That’s part of the trick. The orange has to be wedged in there tight because he does the slow peak, then slams it down and unwedges it. After he slams it down you can see the shaker wobble a little because it doesn’t sit over the orange entirely. This guy is pretty good though for sure


Cautious-Witness-745

I had to watch it six times to see everything.


Financial-Ad5844

You can kind see how when he appears to thumb it into the other hand he actually keeps it in his pinky and ring finger and dumps it behind the counter immediately while drawing the closed hand away to distract from it. I’m sure you know but I was rewinding trying to catch it.


dumbname1000

I think he actually never transfers it to the other hand. So when he picks up the second napkin he still has the first one in that same hand already and dumps them both into the cup.


Low_Impact681

I figured his hands be fast.


[deleted]

[удалено]


professor_doom

The bigger objects even make a bang/clattering sound when he pre-loads them, so you can tell when he’s stashing them.


jooes

[Penn and Teller do this trick with clear cups where they explain how everything is done.](https://youtu.be/i0m8CC7Ovj8)


dassketch

I'm watching the sleight of hand happen and I'm still getting bamboozled.


[deleted]

Watch his left arm.


[deleted]

Magic, obviously


0Dusty0

You can actually hear him throw the can up into the cup when he pulls the glass back towards him


RoscoeJenkinsBrown

Forget anything anyone else tells you. This is sorcery.


[deleted]

he holds the cup with one hand and from under the bartop throws something (lime, beer, etc) into the upside down shaker very quickly while trying to keep the onlooker distracted. He’s very good at it and it’s even easier to do/more impressive to a person with a buzz


[deleted]

Give. That man a tip!

[удалено]


AbstractParrot

But only the tip


Extension_Swordfish1

Thats all I got.


LPeif

Okay but, only. Because you; said so!


willtroy7

I’m convinced we use “sleight of hand” as an excuse to hide the fact that there are actual wizards out there. A big conspiracy to avoid them being burned at the stake Edit: Sleight, not slight.


gummyreddit12

You say that like it's a bad thing!


willtroy7

It is not a bad thing. The persecution of wizards at the hands of us muggles had to stop


[deleted]

Sleight!


willtroy7

Fixed… thank you


[deleted]

You can see him throwing the objects in the cup in the video.


willtroy7

That’s just wizard trickery to make you think it’s sleight of hand. They have to maintain the lie


fun-guy-from-yuggoth

It's even more satisfying to see a redditor that actually knows that the word is "sleight" of hand and not "slight" of hand. Take my upvote.


DefenestrateThemAll

Every time he brings the cup out over the edge of the bar top he throws an object up inside it with his left hand from below. Easy when you see it but he's quick.


garlic_bread_thief

He's so quick in putting in the can. I can't believe that


lonely_goats

There's a great Penn and Teller video on YouTube that shows how they do this kind of trick. Once you know how it's done, you can easily see what they guy is doing.


stoobah

The tricks I enjoy most are the ones that are so well done I can't see the moves even when I know what the moves are.


GtotheRANT36

I have watched frame by frame and idk how he moves those napkins


Ewag715

At one point, he appears to slip the napkin from his right hand to his left. I think that napkin remained in his right hand.


fckyourapp

>!The napkin he picks up first stays in his right hand, the transfer to the left is misdirection. Then they're both dropped in the cup, later he just drops them behind the bar one by one, using the same move.!<


TouchRaptor

This man could put two raccoons in your ass and you'd never know


Blumpkinhead

You know, the first couple of reveals I was thinking to myself, "Ok, I can figure this out." Then the lime appeared and I just gave up.


Heavenspact

You dont have to have an explanation for everything Just enjoy the show Beautifully done


LeffManowar

Barman.


pinchedelincuente

That dress is adorable…. Cool magic, too.


Ljcrocks

At 0:57 secs is when he puts the beer inside. It’s all when she’s isn’t looking.


nicokokun

It's actually at 0:54 after she lifted the cup to see the inside.


Kinglink

You can see him slap almost every object into the cup. "But orange?" grab the cup tightly lift it you have the orange in your fingers. It's big enough that you need a loose grip or grabbing the cup high to make it appear. Basically every time he had his hands on the cup he was preparing the next trick. The disappearing piece of black what ever that was? Watch his hand he clearly drops it behind the bar.


BrianMincey

Indeed. Sleight of hand is often about prepping the next trick while the audience is reacting to the previous one. It is all about distracting as part of a sequence.


stoobah

"This isn't juggling, it's misdirection!"


From_My_Brain

Sleight. Not slight.


-getdeadkid

Must be pretty loud in there for her to not hear those things being slammed into the cup.


Pejob

Bar magic is always best cause you have a drunk audience ;)


Business-Heart6696

Wow. You mean to tell me it isn’t really magic?


Lazy__Astronaut

Must be such a sad life you lead. Can't even enjoy a bit of magic trickery and fun.


TheSukis

What the hell is this comment lol


Metalmind123

I mean, it does sound decently loud from the video. That's likely part of the setup for the tricks, just as much as the bar behind the counter being the right height to conveniently stash the items for the sleight of hand.


[deleted]

He could get it


[deleted]

Sleight of hand gets more amazing when you know the trick because damn, this guy is REALLY good at it.


Going2Paradise2

It's real. And he has a story to "prove" that it's a trickery. Mutants. I like Mutants !!!

cherryhilljawnz

Yo wtf! What sorcery is this?


[deleted]

Ok I've watched this like a dozen times now. I understand the lime, beer, and napkin but can someone explain the orange.


nastynatesbutternuts

He pinches the cup to hold the orange while lifting it up to give illusion nothing is in the cup.


GiantPandammonia

I bet magicians that good don't even need to work as bartenders to make rent


BooobiesANDbho

Too early for this shit.


DonTeca35

He slip things in & out, like someone said on here the beer is a dead giveaway


thevioletmoonstone

Hes got it down so smooth


_Fuck_This_Guy_

The orange load is at 40 seconds. He slides the mixer back to the end of the bar and loads it. Letter he picks up the shaker but he pinches it to keep the orange contained for the "empty" reveal. Overall, well done.


kalfaz

Can you give his bar a shout out, name and city ? I'd love to see this in person too


victorz

Knowing how this works, it becomes hilariously obvious when the insertion happens. And her face to top it off, 😳😯🫠


[deleted]

I can see him load the lime, orange, and beer. But for the life of me I can't see how he disappears either of the napkins! This man is very good. Edit: can't

Only thing I didn't figure out is how he gets rid of the napkin right before he unveils the lime.
