- We are in a very cool filming location.
We've got the mountains in the background,
a train track, an actual
train, you gotta see this.
This train here is an abandoned train.
And we got the tracks,
so we're gonna film here.
There's the mountains in the background,
- Ha, vlog Jack, gotcha, it's Andre.
Come check out my channel.
Wait, where's Alex?
- [Alex] No!
(all laughing)
- How did you get up there, dude?
- I'll be here all week,
ladies and gentlemen.
Stay in your seats.
- He's like, he's like
the lost fifth horseman
from now you see me (laughs).
(mellow music)
- Today we are behind the
scenes of a YouTube video.
Boom.
Alright, what do we got here?
That's Nick, that's Andre.
That's me trying not
to trip on these rocks.
Okay, did we get the shot guys?
- I think so.
- [Alex] We got the shot?
(mellow music)
Tell everybody what we're doing.
'Cause then I'm gonna link to the video.
That's the plan!
- Oh, you're gonna link to it?
Oh, Alex, friend, buddy,
thank you for linking
to the video, guys.
Andre is teaching a card
flick on my channel.
It's not a card flick, it's a cool little
card throwing technique
that he came up with,
and we're filming the B-roll
for the video right now.
- I'm teaching the crazy, on
steroid version of bullet shot,
which normally looks like this.
But bullet shot at somebody.
- [Alex] Ooh!
- Just like that.
- Step number one, find an abandoned train
in the middle of nowhere,
get on the tracks and film.
Kinda look like dumpsters.
They're inside now.
I think we gotta go check this out.
So they're trying to
get some nice content.
How we looking boys?
I think they're just stuck there.
(mellow music)
- Alright, this is what I do
for the behind the scenes of this.
We did it.
We're up!
We are up.
This is what I call content.
Step number two, find this
dumpster looking thing
and just film magic in there.
I think that's what they're doing.
(mellow music)
Step number three, look all
cool on the train tracks.
Well, there's the move, there's the move.
Looking nice.
(mellow music)
- It's pretty cool.
- Sick, alright, if you
guys wanna check that out.
That's all I got for this video.
You guys wanna check that out.
Go visit
- Just a little
- Wait, it's gonna be on your channel?
- Yeah.
- Alright, on Nick's channel.
Alright, go, see ya, bye.
(mellow music)
So I wanna teach you a little bit about
making something vanish.
So any small object, a
coin, in this case a rock.
Anything that is impromptu feel,
you just grab something, make it vanish.
What are the techniques that I use?
Well I use two techniques, generally.
Either a false put into
the hand or a false take.
So in this case we're gonna
look a retention vanish,
learn how to do it, how I do it.
At least, now again, I'm
not the best at coin magic
and all these moves sort of come from-
Whoa.
Like I was saying, I'm not
the best at these moves,
but I will teach you certain tips
that can make them look better.
At least they helped me,
hopefully they help you.
So we're gonna start with
the object in your fingers
between the first finger and
the thumb just like this.
Okay?
Now the action is I'm gonna
fake putting it in the hand
and there's a few things
that happen at the same time.
So first, it's gonna go
not in the palm of the hand
but more towards, I guess,
right underneath where the fingers stop.
So the fingers stop here
and just right underneath
is this area here where
you're gonna place the object.
Now the technique is
your hand is gonna close.
Now there's ways to do it
where your hand close all once,
or do you start curling
in with these fingers
or do you start curling
in with the pinkie.
I, my preference is I'm
gonna go with the pinkie
and I'm gonna start to do this.
Because once I have it here
and the first two fingers
sort of cover, then I
can come and steal it.
Now the basic technique with
the right hand is as follows.
As you do this and as
your hand starts to close
you're, these fingers, the
middle finger and the ring finger
are going to pull.
So they're gonna come here
and you're going to pull this
towards yourself or to the right.
So here, pull to the right
and place it into the fingers
of the middle finger and the ring finger
so they're right about there.
Here, here, pull.
At this point, you're going to re-extend
the first and thumb as if you still had it
and take it away like this.
Here, pull, re-extend, and do it that way.
Now, I'll be honest, sometimes
I rush and I don't re-extend
the fingers so that'll look like this
where everything comes down
and this is just rested here.
Now the cool thing about
this is that you don't
have to palm it right away.
I would just palm it when it goes down.
So after I do this and I pull,
these fingers pull again, if
I don't come here with it,
what's gonna end up happening
is you're going to end
up something like this.
And then my hand immediately goes down
and I kinda palm it there.
So the acting with this hand
would be something like here,
and then sort of squeeze
it, take your time.
You don't wanna do something
like this and it disappears.
You wanna take your time,
do the move, wait for it.
Have attention go on there and
then slowly open your hand.
Open your hand one finger at a time.
You can come here and do this.
Really now it's just about presentations.
It's really nice when
you are so far ahead.
Where you do this, you let this hand go.
You could even throw this in your pocket,
in your back pocket or somewhere, lap it.
And then all attention is on here.
And what's great about that,
is that if you do lap this
or sometimes I even put it
straight in my back pocket
I could come back out here, take my time,
then make it disappear.
Okay, which I think is a very nice thing.
So that is the retention vanish.
Once again, here, here, this side.
Start to close, pull, grab
it, this hand comes down.
And it also helps if you come
up a little bit, alright?
Isntead of down here,
'cause you might get that,
you wanna cover those fingers.
So I come up just a
little bit and it's here.
Another nice little touch is
putting it in the hand first
to begin with for real,
and then doing the vanish.
So they can see this and they
can keep it in the memory
of you actually putting it in the hand.
So you do this, and then
you come here, fake it.
Boom.
Okay?
Alright, that does it for the vlog.
They almost left me here, but that's okay.
Sun is almost gone so we are gonna go
