What's up everybody,
today I've got three magic tricks for you
that you're gonna be able to perform
and show your friends
using ordinary objects
like a water bottle.
Now if you don't have friends,
this will also help you
get friends, like me.
Anyway, keep your eye on the bottle,
and keep your eye on this
pen, three, two, boom.
And if you think this
is some weird wizardry,
I'm gonna show you how to,
let's go to the park, I'll
show you two more tricks.
Cue the drone shots.
(bubbly music)
Alright, let's find a
bench, do some magic.
This next trick shows the
power of water and air
and how they can work together
to create a really fun
and simple illusion.
So, what you're going
to do, is take a glass,
pull out a Bicycle card or
any kind of playing card,
and turn it over, and
you'll see the air is
actually creating a vacuum
with the water and the card.
Now, I show you this
because if you actually grab
a water bottle, take the top
and you seal with your hands,
that's creating the seal
for itself, and you let go,
and ta-dah.
I really think recycling is important,
and I need to tell you guys about
something you're probably missing out on.
It's that sodas have two drinks in them.
So what you want to do is place your thumb
over the front of the
drink and actually just
believe hard enough that
you can get a soda back to normal,
and that's the first step.
The second is doing a
little shake with the can,
and notice how it grows back to normal
right there, in front of your eyes.
So, cheers!
We're going to head back to my place,
and I'm gonna explain all
of these tricks to you.
You can do this trick with
any carbonated soda or drink,
but you gotta make sure it has a can,
so you can puncture through the aluminum.
So what you're gonna do
is take a bobby pin here,
pull out the little needle,
you could use a needle,
but this is the best so
you don't kill your finger.
And before you do this, you might
want to have a little protection,
because this is going to
shoot out, everywhere,
so, I actually usually do this in a sink,
but to show you guys, I
found this little thing
in my garage and I'm going to pull it.
(soda spray sound)
Yep, and what you can do
is continue to shake it,
I like to get the cans about half way
empty for this trick to work.
And once you pull it up
like that, it'll stop.
So, there it is, you'll dry that off.
I like to usually put the hole in words,
on the back side here,
but it really depends
on the orientation of this, it's awkward
if you have a hole here,
'cause then you're kind of
covering most the trick, which isn't fun,
'cause you can show this
trick off, just like this.
So be here.
The second step of this trick is gonna be
making this look like it's an empty can.
This is a really cool illusion to me,
'cause it just, it's a real life illusion,
people aren't paying
attention to this black piece
of paper that you can cut
out in the same shape,
slide it under the top
there, and in good lighting,
so you gotta be careful
where you do this trick,
it'll look like that is an empty can,
which is just awesome. Now
you can just squeeze it,
if it's doing this during the trick,
you're gonna want to
empty it out a little.
Oh, darn it, I forgot that was in there.
I just peed my pants.
So you're going to palm the top like that,
that part is pretty easy, and then,
sometimes I'll crinkle it in my hand
while they're not looking,
let my hand naturally
swing down, and put it in my pocket
or crumple it up and kind of drop it,
and actually while you're
showing them this part,
that's falling to the floor
and you step on that paper.
The next part is going
to be shaking this can,
and this is the cool part of the trick,
it works because of physics
with the carbonation.
So, you've got a bend here,
so you're gonna shake
this part of the trick
and I like to rotate it like this
so it's not making sound
with the soda inside
and you're gonna see it's now inflated,
you get the idea. (laughs)
(can makes farting sound)
Then if you were to let go of that hole...
So, you wanna quickly open this up
and part of the trick is
quickly pouring it too.
They can taste it, they
can see liquid coming out
and that really sells
that, "What the heck?
"There was soda there the whole time?"
I love this trick because it's fun,
it's physics, it's real, there's a lot of
practice that's involved.
I'm gonna explain the
concept of what can happen,
so you have a card, and you can use this
in your performance too
to show your friends,
but you show its surface area tension,
I don't know what the physical
term for this is called,
the pressure of the air
is holding the card up
and if I took the card away there,
it's gonna fail, all the water is,
obviously, gonna fall out.
To perform this trick you're gonna want
to grab a bottle of water
and what I'd first do is take a swig
and I'm proving that
it's a real water bottle,
but I'm also showing this air pocket here,
which is gonna help for
this next part of the trick,
'cause I'm gonna put a card, you can do it
with your hand too if
you get a lot better,
if you pull it away just right,
you're gonna have the effect, nice.
You can also do that,
again, with your palm
and I'll show you that in a second,
but what you're also
gonna be able to do here,
this is the part that
takes a lot of practice,
and you get the straw in there
and what you can do is, if you can
quickly turn it over, I can't,
it usually messes up,
so, I kind of pop it over
and then, you can drink out of it again,
you can take the straw out,
you can do whatever you want.
What you're gonna do if you
want to do it with your hand,
a lot of people like to put their hand pop
in the beginning and turn it over
and this the part that's hard,
you gotta be really stretched out
and then, you're gonna
slide it of like that
and when you get it, if you
squeeze this water bottle
at all, all of this is coming down,
so you gotta be really still with it
and then you just pop that up like that.
Now my desk is sticky and wet.
I love this pen trick
because what's going on
is, the pen is in there the entire time,
so you're gonna need a duplicate pen,
go ahead and grab this here
and it's simple light refraction, guys.
This is how it disappears,
you can't see it,
so you gotta make sure
you're performing this
at the right angle to your friends,
too low, they might be
able to see the pen, maybe,
sideways, they can definitely see it,
but right here is a see
spot, I kind of point it
towards the camera a little bit,
or you can go straight on, you can move it
to prove, "Hey, there's no pen here."
if you do a slow one, but
what you're gonna do is
open up a pen and you're gonna fill
the inside of the pen, if you pop it off,
however these pens break open,
fill it with tiny nails or weights,
some people do little ball bearings.
You've just gotta weight it down,
so when you put the pen in here,
it's gonna sink,
otherwise, the regular pen,
this one's gonna float like that,
so get it weighted down,
do the trick like this.
The back of your hand, you're just going
like this for the performance,
you're saying, boom and boom,
and this is just coming
in here like and hiding.
You're palming the pen, they're not
paying attention to it
cause they're looking here
and you're kind of hiding, angling it
behind here for a second,
then let your hand fall down,
drop the pen in a pocket
or give it to a buddy
that's in on the trick,
there's all kinds of ways
that you can get rid of the pen,
but I'm just gonna do this and
like that, and you show this pen
and I can also show my
sleeves or my arms, no pen.
What I've really done is been able to hide
the pen back here this whole time.
So, a lot of different
ways that you can get
the pen from hand to hand.
If you guys do any of these
tricks to fool your friends,
be sure to film it and send it to me.
Here's the email right here, submit it
and we might show it in
a future YouTube video.
You wanna see some other fun stuff?
That's cool and that's cool, and again,
this is also cool.
I'm always amazed how it does that,
it just, you can turn it sideways,
it's just amazing and if
you turn it just right...
Yeah.
