  • nice illusion

    hi
    definitely there is sliding thin glasses at both sides of the tank.
    1) watch his hand at 1:14 to 1:16 when he passes the card to his assistant
    2) one side of the glass is used to lift the signed card up when the thrown cards by the guy fall downwards hence you dont get to see the signed card coming upwards because falling cards hide this single card
    3)second side of thin glass is outwards and he puts the tissue cleverly to hide the movement and gets the cards out through the hole within the tank

    very nice illusion
    but hope my explanation will satisfy u

  • That's dumb...

    You guys keep trying to explain it, but is there any assistant that is superhuman enough to perform the tasks you have just described without being seen on camera?

    I watched most of his videos and his crowd is always different. Do you mean that the whole crowd is always in on it, and that he is not a true magician that can't perform on streets? He's done hundreds of street magic. Then half of Japan probably knows that he's fake. You think they would keep their mouths shut if they knew that he was just a model with invisible props and superhuman assistants? In that case, this guy would not have a career...

    hope u got my point .. very nice illusion though

    By grodor 1159469898 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
  • LOL

    There is a hole in the middle and the outer glas in very thin u see that in the middle of the back glas then they have a slide glas in the back of the aquarium where it is wery thin glas to and they are all his "assistants it is not real public they are his helpers when he sticks his hand in there they remove the slide and he puts his hand in there and the card through the glas is fake the card that is given avay is lowered in the aquarium and pulled to the glas with a wire or something... I Know this because all the prop is to obvious with the naked eye you would see the thing glas and the slide removing and while the stuff is done like slide and other then distract u and do other stuff like watch away with camera from aquarium it is all a good-bad trick..... LOL EASY

    • damn you man

      why does peopels like you have to tell the secrets ?
      im also in to magic, i do magic tricks too
      but i never tell tham how its done
      this is my favorite magician,
      i also dont like when peoples tell his secrets
      many magicians do same tricks or bit different
      but why does other peoples have to tell the secret ???
      they dont did to you anything....
      for me its same when i would disturb you at work
      you wouls feel same shitty as we when you tell some secrets
      just keep it for your self, no metter what that is
      -
      i saw many magic videos here on metaface & mostly evrywhere are secrets explained, whats the point of it ?
      i hope you feel better now when you the secrets & tell tham to evryone

    • ......hmmm

      .... I wonder how they make sliding panels that are easily removed, totally water proof and completely invisible?? So based on your easy explanation, someone slide open the panel, put their hand through the glass, pasted the selected cards, remove the hand, close the panel while he threw the cards at the fish tank ... Must be Superman or maybe the Charmed Ones freezing time !!! Easy explanation!!

  • Hmm! Incredible!

    But I have a theory!
    It's only how the card got out of the deck. Quite easy in fact. If you see a lot of magic-tapes, many of them tells you how to keep track of one card in a deck. About 1 minute in the clip, he palms it, and around 1:10 hp passes the card on to someone behind the girls back. The rest of it I cannot explain!

    By Bunja 1159360426 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Bunja is Correct - This is how it is don...


      When card is put back in the deck, the illusionist (I) knows exactly where it is. When he looks to his left at the guy, he holds the deck up, left hand behind and right hand in front. He then VERY QUICKLY drops his right hand, in which he has palmed the card. As he keeps the focus on the deck, his right hand goes behind the woman and hands the card to a waiting associate. The associate goes to the back side of the tank and waits for the deck spray.

      After much chat and such to allow the confederate to set up, the I gets sprays the cards at the tank. Note that the camera angle and the card throw are all in line with the angle in the back of the tank at which the confederate is placing the card. The confederate uses a clear plastic rod to plant the card on the glass in one very quick motion.
      With all of the cards flying around, a quick stab in with the marked card is not noticed. Alternatively, the confederate may be above the tank (most likely) or under the tank. More than one confederate can be used (to hand off the card, for example).

      The hand through the back of the tank thing is just stupid, as it is obviously a trick tank. Clear membrane with an overlapping slit in it would work well, behind movable glass. Note that the tank has a ton of stuff in it and is not very clear.

      Overall, I found the trick rather boring.

      The confederat

  • I Love This Guy...

    It's not the first time that I've seen the "chosen card on the other side of the window" trick (Blaine does it too). But Cyril makes it so much better. I can't wait to read all of the comments on how he does it. I have no idea, but it's simply a great illusion.

I love the idea of an illusion... hope you can appreciate it as much as I do... MORE CYRIL PLEASE!
