Any time he "puts a ball in his pocket" he's just palming it. And any time his pinky is curled he's hiding a ball in that hand about to sneak it into a cup. There's more, but that's the basics that happen over and over.
I mean honestly though, it's literally just a cups and balls routine. This is one of the oldest routines ever. The sub is called "blackmagicfuckery", not "the same magic routine you've seen 100 times before except much easier because it's a static perspective phone video and not in person. "
I have a friend who can do some pretty amazing sleight of hand card tricks. Just some really cool-looking stuff. One day he just randomly decided to tell me how he did one of his routines and showed me a bunch of the tricks (I specifically remember the double lift) and then explained how they all went together to create the illusion. My mind was blown way more after knowing how it worked. The sheer amount of practice and ingenuity involved was much more impressive than suspending my disbelief and pretending it was "magic"
Turn off the sound. Take note of his ring and little finger each time the container was opened and/or closed. He's pretty fast at it, but the ball is noticeable.
He starts out with three balls. For the first trick, he places the cup in front of the ball and grabs it, so the ball on the left ends up in his hand, not on under the cup. His hand on the right (which is holding the third ball) loads the extra ball into the cup on the right.
I can totally understand the way he does the balls trick, he slams the cups in front of the balls sometimes and he uses his small and pinky to conceal them. But where the fuck did he pull out the apple and tenis ball from.
He has front pockets in his hoodie. He pulls the items out of the pockets, presses the cup against his body, slides the item in and holds it in place with one or two fingers as he sets it on the table. Play in slo-mo and you can see it.
Seen this trick live at The Magic Castle right in my face. Still mind blowing. I'll add that the version I saw had the guy also end up pouring lemonade out of one of the cups.
the issue he has is he's putting the balls down too close to the camera, so when he puts the cup in front of the ball (not on it) it's more obvious than it should be. He's quick and his palming is pretty good. I've just seen too many of these not to watch his hand position. Also dropping the ball behind the cup to make it look like it's going through, it's not centered, so i can see the side of the ball on the side of the bottom of the cup, since it's narrower. Full points though since i can't do any of this, not even badly.
Imo the cup and ball routine is maybe the best piece of magic. Nearly every magician has their own version of it, they are all a little bit different, and it really shows off the creativity of the magician.
He has three balls from the beginning, one under each cup and another in his hand. At the end he just reaches into his pocket and throws the last items in.
At 6 seconds it looks like you can see the extra ball in the left cup, and then a moment later you can see him grasping the ball that was under the right cup with his pinky to make it “disappear”
This guy is very good. Buddy of mine used to be good friends with a magician, not like a really well known guy, but he used to perform regularly at the Magic Castle. Anyway, he has his own version of this trick and man, the slight of hand work they do is fantastic. If you ever get the opportunity, go see some magic like this up close, I highly recommend it.
Standard cups and balls with two cups. Pure sleight of hand, including the impossible load at the end, and done very well. (I know some magicians in real life and this is a classic illusion)
The palming can use work, it's painting obvious when his lower two fingers are holding a ball and when they're relaxed. Needs to make those hands consistent!
Dude doesn't put the cups over the balls, it's in front of them, and grabs the balls and drops them with high dexterity fingers. There is no magic folks
Alec Baldwin imposter has got the magic touch.
Yes, Alec Baldwin's got the magic touch of deception.
Hell of a trigger finger too
Mom can we have Alec Baldwin? No sweety we already have an Alec Baldwin at home.
Alec Ball Win.
Sure doesn’t seem Rust-y to me.
Hair-trigger dexterity
You can see him holding the balls each time
I didn’t know Joey Fatone does magic.
[удалено]
I was thinking that Danny Baldwin really cleaned himself up well.
Pretty sure that's Joey Fatone.
OP must be new here.
This is the better Baldwin, without the disappearing bullet trick.
HAH I was literally thinking this
Alec Badtwin
I was just bout to call him Sleight of Hand Alec Baldwin
All I see is him cupping one of the white balls in the left hand. I'm lost on the rest of the journey. Cupping balls 😏
Explainer, if you want to know, from Penn and Teller:
Any time he "puts a ball in his pocket" he's just palming it. And any time his pinky is curled he's hiding a ball in that hand about to sneak it into a cup. There's more, but that's the basics that happen over and over.
I’m cupping my balls in my left hand but it’s not tricky
Heh. Balls.
He pulls the cup under the table right before revealing the tennis ball too.
To make the ball disappear he places the cup just infront of the ball to make it look like it is inside it
Same 🤣
Truth is? cocks gun
When he puts the cups down at the very beginning (after the demonstration), the cup in his right hand does not go over the ball. He palms it.
He brings each cup back towards his body and throws another object in before slamming the cup back down on the table
Well it looks like someone doesn't want to go to the Magic Castle.
It's not about the trick so much as the finesse you've gotta have to pull off the trick.
I have to think the Alliance is going to frown on this.
Average
There is a difference between a trick children learn in a magic playset and something that is seemingly unexplainable.
Is cups and balls really black magic fuckery tho? There’s a version of it on here most days. It’s a published trick.
It is shit to see a sub you once liked go downhill though.
It’s not that the trick is easy to spot, it’s that THIS IS NOT BLACK MAGIC FUCKERY. Please post content of this kind to
I mean honestly though, it's literally just a cups and balls routine. This is one of the oldest routines ever. The sub is called "blackmagicfuckery", not "the same magic routine you've seen 100 times before except much easier because it's a static perspective phone video and not in person. "
That's because there's really no black magic fuckery going on. It's just... magic. It's a magic trick. This sub should be renamed
Very relevant /u/
Once you understand this trick you can see all the moves be does to sneak the balls in, but it's still impressive as fuck how smoothly he does it
I've seen this trick a trillion times but I think this guy is the most impressive one
I feel it gets more impressive.
I have a friend who can do some pretty amazing sleight of hand card tricks. Just some really cool-looking stuff. One day he just randomly decided to tell me how he did one of his routines and showed me a bunch of the tricks (I specifically remember the double lift) and then explained how they all went together to create the illusion.

I can get how he's secretly keeping balls in his hand but I can't for some reason figure out how he's putting them under the cups when he does
The easiest tell for me, especially with the first disappearance, was to focus where on the green felt the cup was landing each time.
He could feed the world
Wtf is going on
Magic
impressive (at least since I'm not very knowledgeable on it) sleight of hand
Turn off the sound. Take note of his ring and little finger each time the container was opened and/or closed. He's pretty fast at it, but the ball is noticeable.
He starts out with three balls. For the first trick, he places the cup in front of the ball and grabs it, so the ball on the left ends up in his hand, not on under the cup. His hand on the right (which is holding the third ball) loads the extra ball into the cup on the right.
Brilliant! Also politicians try to do this with words.
Have you heard trump speak? That man was president...
[удалено]
Got any links for black magic?
It's just really good sleight of hand, but if you pause it at the right time, you can see it:
[удалено]
Slight of hand with roled up sleeves is so awesome. Pen and Teller would be proud.
The balls are soft and if you look really well he is picking them up and putting them back with his pinky and ring finger, slight of hand
I can totally understand the way he does the balls trick, he slams the cups in front of the balls sometimes and he uses his small and pinky to conceal them. But where the fuck did he pull out the apple and tenis ball from.
Burn the witch!
Who is this guy? I want to see more!
Richard Sanders
Anyone got an actual explanation? The mechanics of this must be ridiculously impressive.
This just broke my brain
That was extraordinary.
He has front pockets in his hoodie. He pulls the items out of the pockets, presses the cup against his body, slides the item in and holds it in place with one or two fingers as he sets it on the table. Play in slo-mo and you can see it.
Ok the first part is normal (yet impressive) put the end with the lemon and everything is straight up parallel universe magic
they are squishy and when watching his hands you can tell when he hides them in his closed pinkey and ring finger. hes really good with misdirection.
Alec Baldwin do that gun trick with the trigger again!
savevideo
Hey Alec Baldwin looks great for his age
Now do that gun trick.
please dont shoot me
"For my next trick, my cinematographer will be shot, and survive!!"
Hands too fast
The apple looks sus
‘You’re a wizard Harry’
Who is he i need more of him
Alec baldwin
Too good to be real. Must be edited. Only answer that makes sense.
I like this one
Always be wary of green in videos
Pause game super strong. Always cupping a ball with the 4th and 5th fingers on each hand.
Enjoyed it, but I know how he did it
Slightly of hand keep an eye on his palm
slow motions just give away the trick
Watch his right hand, it’s easy to understand
How about posting a link to the source? Give people a chance to like and subscribe.
Where's the video from? I want to see more. I find these types of tricks so fun.
If his hands are moving, he's up to something. If his hands aren't moving, he's up to something.
This is like one of the oldest sleight of hand tricks, how is this black magic fuckery? Smooth as hell, but still a pretty basic trick.
The first one is super obvious but the rest is good.
This looks like an old altrive
Doctor where are my balls???
When you see a potato camera you know damn well it’s a useless Camera magic trick
I was following what he did until the lemon apple and tennis ball
Is nobody else sick of these damn "keep your eye on the cup" dhit lately? Why has this particular kind of content been spamming my feed
Richard sanders is an og 😎
Alec Baldwin is doing horribly
Goddamn lightspeed prestidigitation
The drop through the cup was smooth as shit
Shoulda made that bullet disappear
Seen this trick live at The Magic Castle right in my face. Still mind blowing. I'll add that the version I saw had the guy also end up pouring lemonade out of one of the cups.
I’m willing to bet he can’t pull it off on any other surface. It HAS to be that green felt.
Is that you Alec Baldwin?
Literally: "The Oldest Trick in the Book".
This man's slight of hand is insane
This is the best Baldwin.
You are not good, :(
I know he went to Hogwarts school
Always entertaining, as confusing as it is to me.
I need to see this in person to believe there's no editing.
cup and balls one of the oldest magic tricks even you know how the trick is down still impressive
Alec Marino. No, Ken Baldwin!
Alec”s version: “Look I had six bullets in the gun now I only have five. One disappeared. “
It’s super weird how his ring and pinky finger are always tucked into his palm, I wonder what that’s about.
the issue he has is he's putting the balls down too close to the camera, so when he puts the cup in front of the ball (not on it) it's more obvious than it should be. He's quick and his palming is pretty good. I've just seen too many of these not to watch his hand position. Also dropping the ball behind the cup to make it look like it's going through, it's not centered, so i can see the side of the ball on the side of the bottom of the cup, since it's narrower. Full points though since i can't do any of this, not even badly.
He hides them in his sleeve. Then he uses real magic to teleport them into the cups.
It’s a well done cup and ball trick w excellent patter. Bravo my man
Alec really not doing well career wise after that incident huh..
Haha that's so cool
just good ol' sleight of hand and perfect timing. He's particularly good at it but you can catch the points when he inserts the larger objects.
Huh. That was smooth.
I love cups and balls tricks even when you know how it's done. Penn and teller did a cup and balls trick with
I bet he’s the reason I can’t find my keys. Dick.
Reminds me if Bill Ponderosa from IASIP
He's storing them in his pocket. And then pulling them out it looks like he's able to drop them from the top of the cup Maybe?
It’s easy, the cups never really existed
That's the content i subscribed here for
His bottom two fingers are curled and are holding balls in his hand. Slightly better magicians can do it by just their palm.
if you watch it in slow motion, you can see everything perfectly clear and it’s obvious how it was done
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8osRaFTtgHo&ab_channel=prozacbear
The ball is always in hand.
You can see him palming the balls in his pinkies...
Don't want to ruin it, but look up Penn and Teller cups and balls trick.
The teacher said the lesson will be easy to understand. Now I am stuck with a headache
Imo the cup and ball routine is maybe the best piece of magic. Nearly every magician has their own version of it, they are all a little bit different, and it really shows off the creativity of the magician.
Sleight of hand… lame attempt
I kept expecting to get shot
Those cups sure go under the table alot! Who has a grocery store under the table!? Black. Magic.
Joey Fatone went from N'Sync to game show host to magician....
coz you're slow
3 balls.
Expert-level sleight-of-hand. P&T would be appreciative, even if they wouldn't fool them.
Cool sleight of hand but not very original. The vid was carried by charisma tho. Funny dude.
He has three balls from the beginning, one under each cup and another in his hand. At the end he just reaches into his pocket and throws the last items in.
Yuck, Alec Baldwin…
So this what Alec’s been doing
Man, he is really, really good.
It's called black magic fuckery. Not neck beard trickery.
Richard Sanders, Toronto magician. Well known in the magic community, awesome performer!
The question is now how but when.
Never trust anyone in a Fox hoodie
He’s fantastic
You can see the third ball in his right hand .
At 6 seconds it looks like you can see the extra ball in the left cup, and then a moment later you can see him grasping the ball that was under the right cup with his pinky to make it “disappear”
This guy is very good. Buddy of mine used to be good friends with a magician, not like a really well known guy, but he used to perform regularly at the Magic Castle. Anyway, he has his own version of this trick and man, the slight of hand work they do is fantastic. If you ever get the opportunity, go see some magic like this up close, I highly recommend it.
So Alec Baldwin shoots somebody then goes into protective custody and his disguise is magician?
Just a bunch of hand cupping
I hate when my balls do that
2 cups? Oh no, im not falling for this one again
Wonder if Alec Bladwin can make that shooting incident go away like that?
People really need to just pay attention to the hands and stop posting this here every month.
Standard cups and balls with two cups. Pure sleight of hand, including the impossible load at the end, and done very well. (I know some magicians in real life and this is a classic illusion)
What is this witchcraft
What sorcery is this?
Damn. Magicians talking weirdly fast and doing stupid shit to distract you from seeing their tricks is garbage entertainment.
He’s placing the balls behind the cups when he goes to pick the cups up
Even though I know what's happening, dude is fucking smooth.
He has 2 other balls in his hands if u look closely......
crazy slight of hand. that’s why you don’t gamble with dudes that do this on the street lol
Either? I fully understand it so I know you're not talking to me
Fuck you and that is amazing
He’s obviously hacking
Watching in slow motion took about 40 minutes to figure out how he did it. Well use of 40 minutes
The lemon push is smooth as fuck. Didn't see it the first time and had to rewind.
The palming can use work, it's painting obvious when his lower two fingers are holding a ball and when they're relaxed. Needs to make those hands consistent!
Dude doesn't put the cups over the balls, it's in front of them, and grabs the balls and drops them with high dexterity fingers. There is no magic folks
It's the lemon that got me fuck these guys
I'd like to see video of him doing this trick in front of black people on the street to see their reaction. Am I racist?
Midwestern recently divorced rediscovering himself Alec Baldwin
Lemon! Apple! Tennis Ball!
But does he have moist boy hands?
Ngl I had him in the first half. No idea on that finish tho
Interesting how the background is green
theres actually 3 balls and its played in reverse
This dudes sleight of hand is so crisp. The way he palms those balls is perfect. This is not the first time this man has cupped some balls.
So fucking smooth
I had seen this one before and it really blew my mind, he's an amazing performer and entertainer
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Watch the 7 principles of magic by Teller and you'll see every move he did.
This is one of the best cup and balls routines I've ever seen
