  • Explanation 101 for the weak of mind

    This is how he did it. First, applying the mechanics of probability and theory of organized chaos, he merely wiggled his foot, and hoped that the shoelace will tie itself up. Of course the probability is against him, with a probable probability of 1:100 trillion. But exceeding the expectations of logical reasoning, the shoelace did tie itself up without intervention of manipulation. No magic here really, just simple highschool math.

    Next...??

      Mine can make lemonade.

    • you left out

      Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle. Given the random movement of the shoelaces, they really had no other choice but to tie themselves

    • of course !!

    • Don't cry guy

      but i think that the shoelace was already done.... and he simply put another shoelace under his trousers to his shoe and then he take it up when shaking his feet..... very easy.....

    • oh my god

      this guy is amazing,forget the explanation,it is something paranormal,look his eyes,i think he come from pluto

      By flybabyfly 1159929818
    • no

      after careful study of this footage i have concluded that it was definately a flux in the space time continumumnum instigated by shoe tying elves who are on strike regarding better shore leave spending money while in space ports and such like, this was an ultimatum to the elf high council as a threat that they might put this on sky one to publicly reveal themselves to the ignorant human masses,

      god i'm tired and hae nothing interesting to say...

    • PROBABILITY also indicates that

      an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of "typewriters" will eventually rewrite all the "great literature!" Imagine if we had a grand experiment to prove this? We would need people to check what they wrote. And, one day, one of the checkers gets all excited, saying, "look, l think we've got something here!" And he looks at one of the typewrtiters and reads "to be, or not to be, that is the gazorninplat" (credit to Bob Newhart) Hey, wait, I think that experiment already succeeded, Ann Coulter just wrote another "book!"

    • Well...

      ...Luckly he had a camera on the right try out of those 100 trillions!

      By Casey199782 1152218014

    • LOL ITS A MAGIC TRICK IDIOTS


      LOLOL ITS A FREAKIN MAGIC TRICK!! its called the self tieing shoelace. search it on google or go to a site that sells stuff by criss angel. the url has the word "penguin" in it.

      By coolnammy1 1152080127
    • Finally someone understands!

      It is a magic trick and for the ppl that say it was played reverse, u r wrong this time.

      By the way its not criss angels trick, it was performed by David Blaine and the creater is Jay Noblezada

      By qwerty88 1154923667
    • Do you really believe all that mumble ju...

      I betcha you can't do that trick.

      By cibercitizen 1152033440
    • fool

      It look like this is playing the video reverse.

      By true man 1152173749
    • you forgot to say

      that there is also a higher probability that it was a rewound video or some other trick. rather than a one off fluke that happened to be video taped. not simple highschool math here really, just common sence

      By lbb 1152019333
    • i know how he did it!

      ok all of the footage was backward when the shoelace was loosely tied he wiggles it round and made it reverse!!simple as that!!

      By ch0lay 1155431020
    • You forgot to mention Newtons laws

      Of course if you wiggle your shoelaces in the right direction calculating the velocity and momentum and looking at it at the speed of light.. you know it is possible...i also saw a dinosaur accidentally eat dubya

      By Great ME 1152632840
    • STUPIIIIIIIID

      it's rewinded ... HaHaHa .... ha!!!

    • High school math my ass.

      You probably only have a elementary school education anyway

      By Kinkachu 1152041127
  • easy

    this one is easy.
    see when he lifts his pants nearly before he stops wiggling? Its just that he had a pair of shoelacers sticked in his socks and one pair hanging out his trousers, applied to something with that he can pull em up l8r.
    you can buy the trick everywhere and since Blaine used it it became very popular.

    By legomyegolas 1152101399
  • What a bunch of asses

    The guy has the tie already done, but beneath the trousers. the laces we see are big ropes that go to his pockets...he just pulls them and than he shows the lace that was under....

    By McMannus 1152029218
    • true...

      ... that's all about it!
      except for that face he makes, let us see you figure that out!!! :D

      By Ahmed Sammy 1152034356
  • Excuse me,

    But everything I've seen s far is wrong. He simply shook his foot around stopped the video...tied his shore, then shook his foot around while turning the video back on. I don't see how you would untie your shoelace by wiggilying it either. So that knocks out the reversed playback.

    By Kogepan 1151987911
    • that's probably

      the right answer. or there's some fishing wire involved.

      By shlomp 1155836715

  • bullocks

    too bad quality --- hoax

    By Marsiozo 1152887404
  • 100% fake.

    1) First of all - this is impossible.
    2) If you watch the clip carefully, you can see that he moves his foot randomly, then the shoelaces dissappear and the tie appears to be under his jeans sleeve. Which is impossibe.

    By BEE777 1152744323
  • Maybe...

    its probably played backwards and he really just undid it by shaking his foot. I say probly coz i dont have a clue, thats just an idea.

    By Destructo Boy 1152609061
  • Come on

    I´m a begginer magician myself, and I don't understand why people that know how some tricks are done explain them. Please, respect our work, or at least the rights reserved.

    By FCampos 1152576708
  • Interrupted video

    Look at about 7 secs, his left foot suddenly changes angel. He obviously took a break, tied the laces, and started wiggling again. Well made video, but not perfect.

    By zumo 1152571534
  • lol

    dudes its simple ever they use tech of framing. the dude tien his shoe normally but they cut the frames so it looks like he is shaking his shoe thats all hahaha

    By metalparkour 1152467867

  • More to the point...

    in this day and age, with breathable, elasticated materials, why in hell do we still insist on making your common shoe or trainer with laces.

    By mitch1971 1152066701
  • Obviously.

    It wasn't a random trick or anything. It was rewinded. If you look at the motion of the laces it looks like it's being swung so it can be forced to untie. Watch Her Ghost in the Fog by Cradle of Filth and how their hair moves and by that way you will realise it's rewinded.

    By Mister Tooh 1152044199
  • still a bought gimmick

    I have seen the commercial for the gimmick behind it, it is from penguin magic...

    By WISE ONE 1151958294

    By yasoof 1152613965
  • Work rate baby

    Its not fake its just those damn orientals. they have such good work rates that the guy from the vid probably stood there waggling his foot until his laces tied them selves. perfecting his technique of days and days of hard work and then finally recording himself doing it. i tip my hat to you little chinese man.

    By Oli^ 1151964231
  • wrong wrong wrong

    come on you guys it's gotta be magic. see he sold his soul to the devil for that 13 seconds of magic. or mabey it was 3 seconds

  • david blain

    david blain does this

    By bush1892 1151955396
    • Yep, it must a trick

      The only thing I can think of that he did was to have had his shoe tied up already. Then hang a pair of loose strings from the top (his pocket or waist or arms) and pull both those loose strings; and at last, lift his pant leg to show the tied up shoe. Meanwhile the string we saw at the begining is right around his knee somewhere.

      I don't know, maybe it's that...

      By screener 1152013035
  • it's not reversed

    i've seen this trip done live. david blain does it too. it's something to do with the laces i believe.

    By joe hova 1151954502
