Pretty entertaining to see the reactions of the rookies. That magician is smooth.

NFL rookies freak out reacting to magic tricks

I sent the video to my brother in law (amateur card magician) and challenged him to learn some of these tricks, but he says that the sleight of hand is actually extremely difficult for some of these. I can't imagine the practice that goes into pulling off this level of trickery.

I loved those magician shows with the Patriots last season, one of the cool things about the season.

On America's Got Talent last year (think that was the show - passively watched it as my kids had it on).

A lineman from the Eagles (Jon Dorenbos) performed some magic tricks and he went far on the show. He'd be a great guy to do some of these down the road.

Decided not to be lazy and search for a video (His audition which is pretty good)

Speaking of magic tricks.

Get a fall guy, I get it. I get it.

I know a professional magician, they develop the muscle memory and reflexes from a young age and practice them over their entire lifetime... even if you show someone exactly how to do the trick, it would take them years and years to develop the muscle memory and speed to pull it off

Best line of that video is one of the rooks asking him "do you even have keys to this place or do you just walk in?"

That last one is impossible. There has to be something "under-handed" going on there.

 

[chasa]

you know that dude kept all those signed playing cards.

This is good preparation for them. As history proves, in five years like 90% of them are going to have all their money disappear.

Just another example of the Pats being ahead of the curve. It's not a coincidence that the NFL hires a magician a year after the Pats have their own personal magician to entertain their players and fans. The New England Patriots, just one step ahead.........AGAIN.

It's very possible

The hand is quicker than the eye (for highly trained people that have developed the twitch muscle memory to do it)

My friend would explain in detail how tricks are done and exactly what he does with his hand movements etc.. he'll show it in slow motion, then after he just spent minutes explaining it all to you and you're staring right at his hands up close... you still can't see it happen, it's just too fast for the human eye to see


Oh and fyi... if you want to get bus loads of girls chasing after you, become a skilled magician lol... they eat it up and he could literally go solo into a group of 6 or more girls at a bar or event and have every single one of them fighting to give their number to him.. granted he's an attractive Italian guy, so that certainly doesn't hurt lol
