The Late Movies

Tonight let’s take a look at some fabulous YouTube card tricks! This first trick is a classic David Blaine routine in which he seems to shoot a card through a glass window….

Ricky Jay Throws Cards With Deadly(ish) Force

In this portion of Jay’s stage act, he throws cards, decapitating a rubber duck and injuring a watermelon.

Criss Angel’s Vegas Card Tricks

He appears to be using Criss Angel Brand™ cards on a Criss Angel Brand™ Card Table. Also keep an ear out for the Criss Angels Brand™ sound effects when he does The Move™!

Ricky Jay’s “Sword of Vengeance”

I can’t resist featuring another Ricky Jay video. He’s just too smooth to pass up. In this trick, Ricky Jay uses a story from Japanese cinema as the basis for a palming card trick.

The “World’s Best” Card Trick

In this trick, red cards turn blue, due to…magic! Perhaps not the best trick in the world, but pretty good!

If you haven’t seen enough, there are thousands more card tricks on YouTube.

  1. Ricky Jay claims he can throw cards as a “lethal weapon” but when he was on MythBusters he was unable to penetrate ballistic gel beyond 1/8 inch and was very evasive with answers about what he has been able to do.
