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.

Hi Did it 30 years before David Blaine!

Whenever I watch David Blaine, I'm the dog.

I don't know that Carlin's voice would be the right one, but doing so wouldn't necessarily be an issue for the character of Blaine. Seems reasonable to have a computer simulation of a particular voice rather than a voice actor specifically acting out each line. I'd argue however that if we're going to resurrect someone to voice Blaine, let's go with Alan Rickman. Just the right blend of civilized / polite and deadly serious / menacing.

Edit:
I've been a fan of the books from sometime between 3 and 4, and love most of the story. The last three books lost me some, as they felt quite different in tone. Even Wizard and Glass felt a bit of a miss, though it was a solid story in its own right. I frequently avoid watching trailers for films I know I'll see, so as to avoid spoilers and being mislead if the trailer happened to be poorly made. I plan to see this movie, and originally came here for the comments exclusively; having read them, I chose to watch it. I get the impression that the actors treat the characters well, and they feel like good interpretations. McConaughey's Walter is hard to read with what little we see here, but I've generally liked him in other things.

My biggest worry is that visuals all seem too clean, and the more sci-fi direction bothers me some. To me Mid-World always seemed like a character itself. An ancient thing, being stretched thin, fighting to hold itself together and losing. High tech doesn't feel right there, like the extreme entropy would have rendered it all non-operative. There was some tech here and there in the books, but most of it was broken or breaking down.

Blaine is a pain. But if we resurrect George Carlin to voice act him that could be fun.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this, they've clearly taken liberties, but then most of what I have seen could still fit into the lore of the books.

There better be some Blaine.

That being said David Blain's trick is insane. ...

Terrific. My only explanation is camera trickery. @1.14 it literally disappears from his right hand. Take a look and see if you agree.

"David Blaine looks like his voice is putting his face to sleep."

Classic. And perfect.
