Blaine card trick
Jacob Hartstra
One cardtrick of David blaine has got me puzzled for a while.
It's that trick were someone write her name on the card......than David
tears up the card.....FACE UP in four pieces...and a couple of moments
later..the card is one piece at the top of the deck.
Is this a prepared deck??? or do I miss something
Well magic friends....hope that someone has the answer
Greetings,
Jacob

Yes son, you do miss something. Better watch your little David Blaine: Magic
Man videotape again. As I recall that card ain't face up when he tears it.

Is this on David Blaine: Magic Man ?? Cuz the only torn and restored card
trick I see is with Tyra Banks and the card ain't signed and it's not torn
face up.
Jacob Hartstra
No..I guess it's not on David Blaine: Magic Man?? overhere the video is
called David Blaine:Street magic...I believe it is his first TV
appearence...So you have seen another video..but that is OK...But there
should have ringed a bell, cause I was all the time talking over a signed
card....
all the best

editing and the help from one of the crew he had them write Brandy on a
different card of the same suit and this is the one he ripped up. Somebody
posted a site which had a picture of what Brandy had written and what was
written on the ripped up card. The one he ripped up did look different when
compared with the original one. Taadaaah!!!! So with a little misdirection
the card is passed to Blaine. Who pops it on the top of the deck. Turns it
over quickly and then rips it up while the original signed card is still on
top of the deck.
You can even see the difference if you look closely.
Thankyou and goodnight.

I know the trick you're talking about and let me just say, this effect
would be extremely difficult to impossible to pull off as you saw it.
This has massive amounts of pre-trick prep. If you have this special watch
this effect closely. Basically the card that Blaine flashes with brandy's
signature just prior to ripping it up...is not her signed card....thus the
reason for a quick flash to the spectator. Sure it has her name, but it's
not the original signature. So you're asking how's it done...There's a
couple of ways, but probably the easiest is a confederate.

I'll tell you why. It's not a case of hating the guy, personally I don't
hate him, I just have a problem with the way his magic is presented in such
a way it appears impossible. He achieves this through extensive
post-production editing. In a lot of ways he's smart, magic was never
intended for a television audience, why? Because the method can be detected
simple by watching the effect over and over. However, the way Blaine
presents his effects there is no way to back track the effect, he doesn't
let you see everything prior to the magical moment. I personally feel he
cheapens the skill of the elite magicians. Don't get me wrong I think
Blaine has talent, but if he's all that...ask yourself why he never
performs live?

You mean like his shows when they are filmed?
& feel the way he presents his magic is not for the stage e.t.c.

yes and i think that DB has come along and brought a few tricks that we all
have access to and amazed the world ok the US and UK at least,he has a weird
look and in your face charm,though many say he suffers from zero charisma,he
still has the world at his feet thanks to PR etc...
Still the guy is good and we should all support a fellow magician and not
slag him off...

it.
If he does it live he'd be a fool if a trick went wrong.

Exactly. I'd think people would be amazed if they could see what ends up on
the cutting room floor of a Blaine special. I think the Blaine mystic would
end right then and there. I will say I think he does have skill...take a
look at his most recent special, I believe the first card effect he did
with Tyra Banks, Many I talked with had no idea he did a Mercury card
fold...very nicely done.

argue with success. Apparently, DB used to hang out at the Viper Room in West
Hollywood and perform and impress the cool crowd there. If you've ever visited
the Viper Room, you know that the crowd is almost laughably aloof and too cool
to react to almost anything.
In my opinion, if you're good enough to impress your audience, your good
enough.
