Revealed: David Blaine’s Extreme Mentalism Trick on Jamie Foxx

David Blaine, Revealed

This is a magic trick from David Blaine’s TV Special, Real or Magic. It involves mentalism where two people are faced about 2 meters apart and facing each other. They both have their eyes closed.

Through touching one person, David is able to make the other feel the exact same thing even though they were never touched, and their eyes were closed.

David performs this trick on Jamie Foxx and his daughter, Corinne Bishop. Let’s watch that first.

When I first saw this trick, I could swear Jamie and Corinne were in on the trick.

However, after speaking with other magicians, I learned that there actually is a method to this. Jamie and Corinne were not in on it and had no clue how it was done.

How was it done?

The first part of the trick is unknown yet. I have no idea how Corinne was able to feel the shoulder push, and I have yet to hear any logical assumptions from other magicians.

The second part of the trick is revealed below. It is actually through the use of invisible string. Watch the video below revealing David’s method, and then re-watch his move on Jamie Foxx. You can clearly see that this assumption makes sense.

One of the Oldest Stage Illusions Revealed… Wait Never Mind

Revealed, Stage Magic

This is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Stage illusionists have been performing this trick for a very long time and most people have not been able to figure out how it’s done.

Today, we’re going to learn the secrets and how you can do it too. However, there’s a catch at the end. This is one of the coolest tricks I’ve ever seen. I love tricks where they teach you how the classic version of the trick is done, then leave you scratching your head by adding a twist at the end.

When you see how it’s actually done, it’s going to be disappointing. It’s kind of a bummer to learn that the secret behind a great illusion is actually very plain and boring. But, make sure you watch until the end. You’ll learn how one trick is done, but it doesn’t end there. Get ready to have your mind blown.

Care to venture a guess on how the second part is done? There are many hypothesis by people who watch the trick. For people who guess that he merely hides in the dark, behind the stage, and switches places with the woman at the last second, watch the video again. You can clearly see that she enters the compartment before the man is revealed.

Note that all sides of the compartment are opened at the end so she clearly can’t be hiding on one of the sides.

This one is a real mind tickler.

The classic age old trick of sawing someone in half. It’s been around for as long as stage magic has been around. A woman lies down in a box with only her feet and head sticking out on both ends. The magician then saws the board in half, and then splits them apart.

To the untrained eye, it appears that the woman is sawed in half. However, Penn & Teller reveals that this is a really straight out-of-the-box trick that anybody can do. All they need to do is order the entire stage setup from a magic dealer.

David Blaine’s Coffee Into Money Trick Revealed

David Blaine, Revealed, Tutorial

In one of his TV specials, David Blaine stops to speak to a homeless man drinking a cup of coffee. He kneels down and takes the cup from him. After he gives it a few shakes, the coffee disappears right before his eyes, and the cup overflows with coins.

Take a look at David Blaine’s performance here.

How is it done?

The trick involves the use of a gimmick cup that you can make at home. You have to prepare the cup first before you can do the trick. This likely means that the homeless man in David Blaine’s video was an actor, but that’s getting off topic.

To do the trick, you need a sponge, scissors, and two plastic cups. View the tutorial video below.

The Invisible Chair: Ancient Levitation Trick Revealed

Revealed

The Invisible Chair is one of the oldest magic tricks in the book.

To witnesses, it appears as if a man is levitating in the air (sitting on an invisible chair). It’s an amazing illusion that has been fooling people for hundred’s of years.

According to Hinduism, eight special powers (siddhis) are known. One of those powers is to become weightless and be able to levitate in the air. This wide religious belief is what fools people to actually think that the man floating has supernatural powers.
