Full English Transcript of: Can Strangers Learn Magic In Minutes?

This is a stranger who I have just turned into a magician. Why don't you go ahead and prove it? Okay. So, I want you to pick any card from this pack, but not this one. Are you ready? And that is just one of a bunch of insane magic tricks that strangers will be doing in this video. And the longer you watch, the crazier the magic will get. So, with the interest of saving everybody's time, let's meet our first stranger. All right, this is our first stranger, Callum. Now, although Callum's a stranger, he's not a magician yet. Push the coin through the elastic. That's sick.

How's it feel to be a magician? Great. Are you going to take a career in this? Yeah, good. Now you know how quick this can be done. Let's find some more. Oh, what? 3 2 1 go. Yo, what the Yo, I just gone through the thing, bro. Look at that. Is that Can you shake it? He's actually Okay, the progression's real. That's five newly wed magicians. I'm not going to stop there. This is Rachel, our next stranger. Not yet a magician, but go ahead, Rachel. That was very strange. Can you make sure that is a real skill? How's

that? Is that the real thing? There we go. Next up, I want to see if I can get a stranger to solve a Rubik's cube, right? So, I have a Rubik's Cube, you're going to solve this Rubik's Cube. Do you believe you can or No, you don't. Mhm. Okay, I'll tell you what. Not only you going to solve it, you're going to solve it behind your back. Do you not believe me? All right, take it. Put it behind your back. Now, start mixing the cube and then stop whenever you want. Have you stopped? Now I've stopped. Bring it forward. What the? No, that's really weird. Wait, how did you do that?

Wait, are you a magician? So, we just got a tattoo done. We got King of Spades. I might try and use this later on in the video somehow. Would you believe me if I told you that I can turn you into a magician right now? No, probably. No, you're not. I'm going to draw on your hand. So, you become a tattoo artist and we become a magician. Exactly. That's the idea. Almost like a tattoo shop is quite hard to pull off. So, if we just kind of I'll try my best. I'll see if I can pull it off. You hold on to the cross. Put your hand around it. It's there, but it's invisible. And then just throw it to him. And I want you to just catch it with your left hand. Are you ready?

Well, well, well. Are these two now seconds away from becoming magicians? Because if she's somehow thrown an invisible cross and he's caught it, then I guess that's the only explanation. Hold on to the cross. Hold your hand around it. It's there, but it's invisible. And then just throw it to him. And I want you to just catch it with your left hand. Are you ready? Wait. Hang on. Did you feel that? I actually did. Okay. Open your hand if you have. That's crazy. Oh no. I felt it. I'm telling you. I went Could you hold it for me? Just throw it towards me. How' you feel that?

Does it feel? I felt it. Open your hand. Does it rub off or No, it does not. Oh, that's just That's a tattoo now. It's permanent. It's going to be there forever. So, now are you going to get that as a tattoo? You're going to put it 100%. That's true. Move away from me. I'm sorry. Damn. There it is. On a scale of 1 to 10, what was the pain level there? That was a good eight. You know, an eight.

It didn't last long, but it was a good eight. Story of my life, mate. All right. If we can all just take a second to breathe, then we'll realize that's already 31 magicians that I have brought into the world. But the magic you've seen so far is nothing compared to what's coming up. But for those who may be wondering why I'm on this selfless act of turning strangers into magicians, then allow me to explain because it's a pretty cool story. You see, the other day I was hanging out with Emily and that's when she asked a question that I had never thought about. She said, "Can anybody be a magician or do you have to be born a wizard?" Which was a fantastic question. So, I replied with, "Emily, that is a fantastic

question. I have never been asked that question before." So, from that moment, my mission was now simple. Prove that anybody can become a magician. So, in order to prove this, I was going to have to do some digging. You see, because I wanted to figure out the secrets of magic so powerful that not even the strangers would know how they were doing the magic. So, I have wasted not even a second because I have spent weeks meticulously planning, crafting, and creating tricks that are going to turn random members of the public into top tier wizards. Because I believe that everybody deserves to experience the feeling of magic, even if it's only for one time. However, for the strangers to

truly feel like magicians, I have created one simple rule to ensure that. And that rule is that the magic must happen in the stranger's hands. And now, with all you delightful human beings caught up to speed, let's get to work with our next stranger. All right. So, right now, I'm filming a video called turning strangers into magicians. But if I'm going to turn you into a magician, then the magic has to happen in your hands. So, take the deck of cards. Are you familiar with one of those? Yes, you are. Snap, though. Are you good at snap? Take the cards out the box for me. Perfect. Can you turn them around and just make sure it is indeed what I'm saying it is? It is just a normal deck of cards. Y are you happy? Yeah.

Are you happy as well? Is it important that we're happy? You know, give them a shuffle for me. Give them your best mix. Nice. Oh, shall we drop some lucky that I haven't dropped it on the floor? That's all right. 52 pickup. It has to be done. There's a technical term in magic for someone who shovels like that. It's called crap. Yeah, I was saying. I'm joking. Uh, it's not bad. Satisfied? Daddy. Perfect. Okay. What I'd like you to do is put a red card here.

Nice. And then take a black card and place it there. Awesome. Here's the idea. If you think this card is red, you're going to put it face down in the red pile. If you think it's black, put it face down in the black pile. You're going to go completely off your intuition. Like that. Yeah. Keep going and go as fast as you can, but really go with your gut instincts here. Now, I've calculated the chances of this working, and it's something like 400 trillion to one. So, if this does actually work, then you really are a magician. Keep going. Go until you got none less. Go. You can do faster. Come on.

Cool. Are you happy? Yes. Right. Square each pile up, but leave these two cards protruding. Cool. You're happy. Here's the weirdest part. This is a black card. That is going to This is a black card. Oh, wow. This is a Wait, can you take the camera for me? That's a black card. It can't be the same over here. Oh, sh. Okay, that's a red card. Tell you what, we'll put them both together and you'll see somehow. And I don't know how you've done it, but you've perfectly separated all the red cards from all the black cards.

No way. How you done that? She did it. Obviously, because you're in the room, you must be a good influence. So, you have the insane ability of intuition. That was no trickery, no behind the scenes, no travel takes. That was real. Completely real. Believable. So, I think what we're really saying is you're a magician now. You're a magician. Yeah. So, you're a magician? I'm a magician. You've got a career in this. Right now, I'm going to turn you both into magicians. Do you believe I can?

No. Okay. Easy enough. Tough crowd. Okay. I'll take it. Right. Take a card for me. Yeah. And show the camera. And it actually don't matter if I see. Now, could you go ahead sign your name on the face of that card for me? Cool. And I'm going to ask you to also sign this card for me. Perfect. Right. Do me a favor. Could you hold out your hand for me? So, we have the king of clubs. The king of clubs is going to go in your hand. Put your hand on top. And then could you hold out your hand? I'm going to take the uh 10 of diamonds. That's going to go in your hand. You put your hand on top. Now, here's what I want you to do. I want you to both switch places for me. Just switch places. Perfect. Now, I am

actually really confused cuz I'm not too sure how you both did that. Turn that around. What the hell? Did they just switch places? Wait, show the camera. Crazy. Can you teach me how you did it? No. No idea. Fair enough. Now, what I want you to do is just switch places. Did you feel that happen? To switch places? Yeah. No, no, not the switch of places. The switch of cards. I said I was going to turn you both into magicians. Turn your hand around.

Yo, what are you? Show the camera. Did they switch? Yeah. Did it switch? What the hell? How did you guys do that? I told you'd be magicians by the end of this and now you are. Perfect. I said I was going to turn you both into magicians because what makes absolutely no sense is how the cards just switch places. Hold on. Turn that around. What the hell? Wait, I'm just as confused as you are. I'm really confused. So am I. Done. They did it. I don't know how they did it. It must be We know how to do it.

Yeah. You know how you could you tell me or you're just not going to reveal the secret? This is not realistic. This is true. You make a very good point. Can I try one thing? Yes, absolutely. Have you got any water anywhere? We'll grab a glass. Grab that kettle. Actually, I want you to hold this forward with one hand. Pour the water from the kettle in with the other hand. Go in there. Yes. Go. Oh, behave yourself. Have you just turned that into wine? Oh my god. No. That's just come from the cattle.

Try it. See if you like the wine. It's a beautiful red. It tastes like Italian wine. It tastes more French to me, but then I'm not an expert. I actually hear that they have similar wine in Spain. Hello, my friends. I am currently in Spain right now. Correct. That's right. I went ahead and jumped on a spontaneous flight last night and now here I am. But don't you dare for even a second believe that I'll be leaving this place without converting a stranger into a magician. A man has a job to do. But if I'm going to have any success here, then I need to at least attempt to learn some of the language.

So, how do you say I'm going to turn you into a magician in Spanish? No, it's too difficult for me. You all right just asking them for me? Sure. Oh, that was easily done. Okay. Deal. On the count of three to pull. Like this. Ask him if he feels like a magician now. Legend

legend. All I want you to do is just think of a card for me. This was the final stranger that I met in Spain. So, I wanted to do something special. Would it be possible for him to send me the name of the card he was thinking of? Take the cigar and then could you flick a bit of the ash here? Yeah, I can. Yeah. Cool. Watch. Think of the card. Just get this.

How did you do that? I don't know. I think you're the real magician. Take my job. Hello. I am back from Spain now. I had a really good time. I did. But today I am in Liverpool, England. I've just been walking around doing my thing. That coffee was really good. Hot, but good. Also, I did print off the image of this guy from Spain, so that transition looks seamless. always going the extra mile for the videos. Who's with me? But for the next stranger, not only are they going to be turned into a magician, but I'm going to be turning them into a chef as well. And if you don't know what that looks like, best I just show you. So, without further ado, let's cut to that right now. Just think

of any meal you'd like, but don't tell me. Okay, you got it. Yeah. Perfect. Right. Here's the idea. I want you to write it down on this piece of paper for me. Don't let me see what it is. So, just cover it and don't let me see. Lovely. And now scrump it into a small bowl for me. You're going to put that ball in the center. Wonderful. And in a couple of seconds from right now, you are officially going to be a magician. Do you believe me? Uh, no. Fair enough. I wouldn't either. It's fair. She's going to light the piece of paper. When she does, just close it down. Light the piece of paper.

Go. Light it. Now, lift the pad down on it. Lift it. Push. Now, lift your hand. Oh my word. Wa. Wait. So, was this the one? Yes. I'm astonished. Yes. And can you make sure it is the real thing? Take a bite. Oh my god. Yes. It's hot. Is it good? M. Hey, come on. Had new breakfast. Has it not? That's really nice, actually. Yeah. Thank you. All right. So, you're thinking of a food right now?

I am. We're just going to put the pan in your hand. Scrunch up the piece of paper and then just place it on the pan for me. And then just take the lighter, drop it down quickly. Is that the food you're thinking of? That's pepperoni. Yeah. So, it's safe to say you are now officially not only a chef, but also a magician. Absolutely. Yeah. I'm impressed with myself. Sometimes you got to take the credit. You know, Emily just said Sean wants to go on to RUD with me.

I did. And then he was like, but he's already done one today, right? So then he goes I was like, let's go. Hold out your hand. Boring. I'm turning strangers into magicians. Do you want to be the exception? Yes, please. Cuz I know you're not a stranger, but you really want to be in the video, don't you? Yeah. Put your thumbs up then. Hold out your hand. We're going to put the coin in your hand. Roll your sleeve up. Nothing up the sleeves. There was something up the sleeve. Okay. Hey, you had any texts?

Yeah. James. Who's James? Mhm. Who's James? Emily, don't do this to me. I'll try this. Could I borrow one of your rings from you? Yeah. I promise you'll get it back. Yeah. I'm going to put this ring on your hand. And could you put the can like on top of it? Is it empty? Yeah. Put your hand on top like this. On the count of three, I want you to just shake up and down once very hard and fast. Like that. Okay.

Three, two, one, go. Did you feel that? Yeah. Wait, lift up your hand. Wait. Can you just put your initials on the coins for me? We'll use your can. Hold out your hand for me. We'll put the can on top. Put your hand on top and then just shake up and down while you're gone. Did you feel that? I did. Hey, how did you do that? I'm a magician. You're a magician. She plays the role very well. Wait, try and get it out.

Might have to take it because the can on top for me. Then put your hand on top. On the count of three, shake the can. Three, two, one. Lift. What? How did I do that? How did you do that? You're the magician now. I'm a magician. I'm a wizard. Harry, it's copyrighted. Stop. I'm going to get demonetized. Fine. You're a wizard, you'll monetize it back. Watch. From fire, the interesting thing about fire is from fire, we can get water. From water, we get ice.

Wa. This man here is Wimhof, aka the Iceman. And the guy is a living legend. He climbed Mount Everest with just shorts and a t-shirt and broke several Guinness World Records with his insane endurance feats, which he says are all thanks to breathing exercises. So, the plan is to meet the Iceman because based on everything I know, he certainly is a magician. Your soul is indestructible. This is forever. So, why have fear over death? Just live cuz life is magic. I'm currently filming a video called Turning Strangers into Magicians. But in some sort of weird way, you already are a magician because you've proved things that are impossible possible. That's true.

But with that being said, with the Iceman being our final stranger and 52 magician, then I assumed it would make sense that we'd end on a card trick, you know, because 52 cards and 50 st. Anyway, I recently got a tattoo of a specific playing card and you're going to figure out what that card is. I'm going to try and send you the identity of this card. Just got a tattoo done. King of spades. I might try and use this later on in the video somehow. Then we are able to full bloom activate our brain capacity like 100%.

I've transmitted you the identity of a card right now. Okay, you should have a card in your mind right now. I said that I recently got a tattoo. [__] hell. Yeah. I mean, sorry for my French, but King of Spades. The king of spades. It is. I don't know what you did, but magic. You got the card, so you really are a magician. There we go. This is our final. So, you Well, my friends, there you have it. That's 52 strangers now turned into magicians. But here's the thing. You see, when I was younger, I thought that

my job of a magician was to prove to people that I could do something impossible. But as we come to the end of this journey, I've reached a new conclusion. And that is that nobody should claim that they can do the impossible. Because the magic really lies in the fact that nothing is impossible. So, if we can all just take a second to breathe, that's when you'll truly realize that life is magic. Even the odds of any one of us being born is literally 400 trillion to one. So maybe this video was never about turning strangers into magicians, but instead proving that in some crazy way we are all magicians. Because being lucky enough to experience

this amazing life we've been given, well, I guess that is the greatest magic trick of them all. Yeah, that's it for the video, guys. Hope you enjoyed. I'll see you in the next one. Peace. Thank you. So much for watching this video and YouTube thinks you'll really like the one on the screen now. So what you waiting for? Tap it blazers.
