OK. That was actually a pretty awesome routine!

Swedish rock bands from the 70's. Best Pics Evar!

HAH!
Sooooo, it was Swedes who invented the mullet, eh??

What was the question everyone asked when they saw ABBA for the first time???
What are those two smokin' Amazons doing with those tiny geeks?

I have to admit that really made me smile

Hey puts on a good show!

It was actually a pretty damn good ditch, too...I can't figure that one out!

I bet the "fabric square" was actually more of a bag. Folding it up by the corners lets him easily put it into the bag part, then mush it flat, fling it open, and show both sides of the bag!

Awesome routine. What a laugh he has.

Abba-solutely great!

I didn't know axl rose has done such act before the guns!!

That's how the trick is actually performed in kiddie magic sets; there is a small pouch to hide a coin, or a bandanna, or the fabric square is actually a well-made fabric bag.

What blows me away is that unless youtube is fooling me, it should be extremely hard to hide a banana peel in such a bag! I would have to imagine that it wouldn't lay nearly as flat as he had it.

Cool, I didn't know he did international shows in english these days.

Was hilarous first time I saw him on TV, like 12 years ago, he does a hilararious half-hour show with his IKEA bag and stuff

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Sift of the week.

Wait a second!!! That was an absolute rip-off of a David Copperfield routine.

I loved it, but YouTube showed me the real trick: plagiarism!

And here I thought he's gonna fling the restored banana into the air rather than making it 'disappear'

R-O-F-L !!!!!
I saw that clip as a kid, and loved it - and as a non-english speaker I never caught the banana/bandana bit at all! Thank you!!!

That's actually a really good find. Were you able to see if he gave a nod to Copperfield somewhere? At least then he's copying but not claiming it's his own material.

I didn't see anywhere that he had given credit to Copperfield. I found it purely by YouTube's algorithm recommending it to me after I had watched this video. I saw on Reddit that a few other people had noticed the same thing a few months ago.

I think that Hackner should be crediting it because it is almost without modification. Copperfield clearly presented this as a piece of comedic magic and Hackner just added a little goofiness to it.
