And once again Mac gives us fucking worthless bullshit. Time to move on Chive, this douche brings nothing of value to the team.

You play with that many balls for that long and you are bound to end up taking a load in the face.

Word on the street is, once you visit theChive office, you leave with these powers…

I'd be more turned on if it were a chick juggling these balls, but I guess this'll do…

He Bear Gryll'ed it – if you watch closely, you can see him pee in it. I can tell by the pixels, obviously.

It's a special magician's cup with a hidden compartment that can hold water and then release it when you activate the release button. Now that I've told an Ancient Magician's Secret, the Secret Magician's Guild will send the Assassins to kill me. Good-bye, cruel world…

Where did that ice cream come from?

Big deal, you can masturbate quietly and twice as fast as anyone else.

Slight of hand my ass! That man is MAGIC!

Not bad. But he makes his loads way too obvious. Practically everything's under the table, on his lap. Whenever his hands go under the table, he's loading another ball or putting the water in the cup. This one on the other hand, is way more subtle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UDBgI2kxRI

Cris

I agree with you, he was quick, but i saw every move
Nishtai

Do you think Slydini is more subtle than this guy? I could see every sleight of hand he did throughout the video. Not to mention he lowers his hands down the table in a very non-subtle way almost every time

irish

Yet he doesn't deliver immediately after the load, which is where this guy goes wrong. The flourishes he makes in between the two means he has to manipulate more subtlely and more aptly than this guy. It's not necessarily his fault though. Slydini's manipulating much smaller objects, but Slydini is pretty famous among magicians for his slight of hand, made more impressive because he invented his style. Try and figure out this slight of hard card trick of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEF2E2BcakQ

After watching that Slydini video, I could pick up on his trick easier than I could featured in this video. for eg it's obvious when he's putting the cigarettes in the box you can clearly see he doesn't put the second one in. Slydini also appears to do the same 3 tricks over and over again. He just sort of repeats it. This dude however appears to do a multitude of tricks whilst making it funny at the same time. To me this video was not only more impressive but more entertaining too.

irish

Oh this guy is definitely funnier. Entertainment value was never in question. But in terms of technique? Slydini's got it all the way. He only does the same 3 movements, but the movements are so incredibly refined it's the only ones he had to do. At the :50 mark, after the reveal, and he makes the turn again, where does the cigarette go? If your answer is he thumbed it, you're right, for about half a second before he switches its position in plain sight of everyone seated a foot away. The technique is far superior, not because it's unrecognizable, but because he exhibits a far greater range of motions and manipulation with loaded hands than this guy, and with people seated right next to him.

Around 1:56 you can see the ball in his hand before it appears from the cup.
This guy

Pause at 1:06… yup gotem
bestpostEVER

Mind not blown. Whats with all the "*Gasp* Mind Blown!!!!1!!" posts? Guys got talent, but when you can see the slight of hand every other time he drops his hand below the table….copperfeild he aint.

Sheesh, you caption poop on a stick and chivers will be impressed…that sir is fandom.

BRAD

but your a db…so he wins

Copperfield generally relies on several people doing all the work behind the curtains while he points at stuff. Rarely does "Slights". It's two totally different skill sets. Don't compare them.

lets see you do that sh*t

If this guy had been around during the silent film era, he would have made a mint… looks like he studied Chaplin.
Dave

That was impressive! The way he did his magic. The style… It was as if it an old silent film from the 1920s.
