THIS ILLUSION FOOLS 99% OF PEOPLE!!
Small flap of plastic on the corner of the floating card that slips into the corner of the deck a few cards deep and hinges when turned in one orientation.
Cousin Vinny out
Submarine Exploring Titanic Wreckage Goes Missing;
I can only imagine what it would have been like being alive in that sub waiting for rescue for 5 days. Hopefully they would have had a deck of cards to help pass the time. The outcome seems like a blessing rather than having to survive the circumstances which would have seemed like forever for them.
How an 18th Century Sailing Battleship Works
Upvoted, but totally horizontal planar decks are just distracting. Nothing on a wooden ship is square or planar.
David Blaine Freaks Jimmy Out
Yes, you're absolutely right. I went back and followed the cut. I assumed he'd doubled-back to get the bottom (or top) cards to the top of the deck due to the convoluted way he talks through the cut... for example, just flipping the deck over one more time would do that.
This may have happened with editing (I think Blaine's been caught or at least accused of that before), but chances are I'm wrong and he's some kind of demon.
But the 5 cards were from the middle of the deck, not the bottom.

... I suspect he just knew the order of the last 5 cards in everyone's deck. So long as their cut isn't in those last 5 he can force them. Everyone then picks the fourth, and they've all got the same card. ...

I didn't follow the cuts precisely, but I suspect he just knew the order of the last 5 cards in everyone's deck. So long as their cut isn't in those last 5 he can force them. Everyone then picks the fourth, and they've all got the same card. (edit to note that even if a couple of them didn't follow the instructions properly, they might not hold up the card or it might not be noticeable on camera for one of a few reasons).
As for the nails, he 'drools' almost all the nails that go in his mouth, and he can probably conceal a few in there, say between the cheeks and the back teeth, that won't show if he simply opens his mouth. I'd guess the two out the nose is real, unless he slips them in there while 'eating' them.
That's all just guessing, of course.
ok, I get the frog thing (other magicians have done that). and the whole box of nails were trick nails (Jimmy didn't have a magnet or pour water in the bowl), but I don't understand how they got the entire audience to end up with the same card?
at least 1 would have not followed the instructions correctly...
could be the whole deck was activated by body heat (to change to 5 of hearts), hence the pocket or sitting on it?
Notice Jimmy put in his outer jacket pocket and didn't have it on the whole time - maybe that's why David didn't ask him to look at it at the end?

Will Smith smacks Chris Rock on stage at Oscars Uncensored
Smith lost a lot of fans right there….me included.
If you don’t have a sense of humor about yourself, don’t go to awards shows where the audience is fair game for jokes at their expense. Same for your wife/husband.
If being bald is a touchy subject, wear a wig. (Coming from a bald guy who’s been bald by choice for 25 years and never once got mad at a Mr Clean or penis head joke).
Will can fuck right off with his violent tantrum (or pretend tantrum if this is some scripted ploy). Chris should have decked him back in the face, kicked him in the balls, and kicked him off stage head first. What a child. I hope charges are pressed and lawsuits filed….he deserves them. If there aren’t repercussions, that’s a good indicator this was scripted to boost dismal ratings, which IMO might be worse.
Endurance wreck: Lost ship found off Antarctic
who decided to film it this way? I dont mean to complain...but i wanted ... idk... to see more of something that would give me a sense of scale of the ship maybe with some close ups where an old timey sailor carved his name into the deck...
Instead its some weird still shots from a distance with slow zoom and i cant fucking hear what the water sounds like because all i can hear is this crazy EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE awWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
That said, I still liked seeing the ship.

Your video, Deck The Halls With Sabbath, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.
The Incomprehensible Scale of 52!
This was an excellent treatise on visualization of large numbers.
That said, I disagree with the statement "the sequence of cards in a properly shuffled deck has never existed in the history of time". It would be true if the act of shuffling was truly random, but it's not.
This article says you'd need at least 7 riffle shuffles to get "random", but in practice "properly" shuffling is 3 or 4 riffle shuffles...
https://phys.org/news/2017-02-shuffle-cards-maths.html
Hence thus therefore, my unprovable bet is that there has been at least 1 occurrence of identical-sequence decks in the history of 52 playing card decks.
(this is not counting magicians & card mechanics like Ricky Jay)

Be sure to get your offical Trump cards today. (All it takes is a donation you don't know is recurring paired with your 300% impact offer, meaning your donation will have 300% more impact because they're going to multiply it by 4, every two weeks....so if you try to donate $100, by the end of the month you'll find out they took $800.)
They can't tell if you're a neo Nazi without your trump card. (Complete with misspellings and third Reich imagery like the Nazi Parteiadler, or party eagle . https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-card-looks-similar-to-nazi-insignia-critics-say-2021-8 )
Made especially for people like you who aren't playing with a full deck.....and they're totally offical!
America really flew the U-2 spy plane off aircraft carriers
Unconvinced.
Why would they try to land on an aircraft carrier, breaking the plane every single time by scraping the wingtips off on the deck? In air refueling means it would never be required, and a total lack of stealth makes it just stupid, landing strip width makes it incredibly difficult to land a plane over 3 times the wingspan of an F16, especially one as in precise and hard to fly as a u2….and impossible to store off the deck, making the carrier useless until the U2 was removed.
On land they had chase cars that drove under the wings at landing, installing the wheels and/or keeping the tips off the ground.
Not trusting this internet source…beware unknown sources.
There’s a reason there wasn’t one shot of a successful landing, the best they had was a 3 point landing with the wing as point 3. At best this was a failed test, not a functional program.
Husky Temper Tantrum
Man, where's all the railing around your deck?
I felt like I was going to fall off watching this.

Bwaaahahaha....
Sorry, I forgot anyone not a Trumptard ready to follow Trump and abandon the republican party at the drop of a hat is a RINO. You have lost your mind, buddy. Trumpsters are RINOs, lifelong conservatives, Republican back when Trump was partying with Clinton, decades before he switched parties to become a republican out of convenience, they are not the RINO, friendo.
Also, if you really could read, and really had read it, you would have read about the bipartisan commission intentionally including Trumpsters who had to be reminded that if Trump won they would have to convince many that he hadn't cheated, so needed to participate in the anti election fraud committee even though they didn't actually want it to exist.
What is that supposed to mean? Free and fair elections by any legal means is the American way, and the right thing. They are the foundation of any democracy. My forefathers died to secure the right to free and fair elections here. You're saying free and fair elections aren't worth the efforts it takes to maintain their freedom and fairness?
Free and fair by funding underfunded election offices, providing missing ppe, helping states send out applications for mail in ballots the Fed won't fund....you know, the kind of stuff Americans as a whole took for granted before Trump.
Trump and his cohorts went above and beyond trying everything imaginable to make the election as unfree and unfair as possible, the first president ever to work against free and fair elections in our country, I know it's normal in yours, Putin doesn't want elections at all.
It's like 10 poker players at the table and 2 collude to get new unmarked decks so no one can cheat...player 3-9 having no issue, and player 10 throwing a fit and claiming they're all cheating him, he really won all those hands he just lost, it's a fraud, he won't pay, and calling his crackhead buddies over to try to rob and kill the other 9.
Not bipartisan ,, RINOs, Never Trumpers and leftest.
Free and fair election. NOT Free and not fair by any means.
It is like 9 guys sitting at at poker game all in cahoots to cheat player # 10 and player # 10 thinks all are in the game for themself.
