Great trick!

A slightly upscale version of an old David Blaine trick. It looks more impressive because it's an aquarium rather than an ordinary window, but it's the same.

Thanks for your honesty. I have no idea how that's done either, unlike the 98% of master magicians on this board.

Wow, pretty cool

What trips me out this dude is how he mixes the English in with the Japanese when he's talking. Is that a normal thing over there? And yes I know he was born and raised in the US, but he's talking to Japanese people and they seem to know what he's saying.

 

[deadlyapp]

yeah my friend has done that, ie throwing the deck and one card is on the other side of the window. I still have no idea how it works though.

Wow. I was like a little kid all over again, mouth slack staring at the video.

Like every other trick. Preparation, an accomplice and some misdirection. Do a search, there are a dozen videos around that show precisely how it's done.

[uhohs]

he's half japanese but raised in southern california, speaking in half and half is a hook/charm point he uses. it's not a normal thing but i have seen a few other japanese celebrities that speak english do this as well. it annoys me to no end. lol.

DAMN YOU MIKA
;_;

English is the global language.

Yeah I saw this trick a little while back, great illusion. Some people suggested that there was a sliding window on the tank, but I have no clue how it's done.

Adhesive is put on the card before he flicks them on the glass. You can see how much the card was bent to put it on. Notice the accomplice doesn't try to remove the card? She presses it first.

Not even close. The aquarium was in view throughout the trick. No card until he threw it.

Yea, what he said -_-

The thing about tricks done on camera is that you have no idea if everyone there is in on the trick and it's all done with special effects.

That's a pretty funny website going on there...I've only seen the linked video, but some weird side links.

Exactly. There's no use viewing a magic trick online or on TV.

Seeing as how there's no such thing as magic, we can only assume that the entire thing is staged and there's some serious tampering going on here.

I mean, we see some amazing things in movies, what's the difference?
