This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your expertise and video. Rodney

The carrot trick got me and my jaw dropped. I see why it's your favorite.

You don't need people to be drunk to appreciate that math magic. Im subscribing! Easy tricks for newbies like me.

OI have seen those, and done many different variations on them myself, but that Math one... never seen before, very interesting. thank you.

I had tried your straw trick (the 2nd trick here) about 10 times unsuccessfully at first. It was hard seeing it from the front view, but I eventually got it to work! Thanks!

Pulled carrot trick off great to my son and grandma. They loved it, thank you.👍👍

He is still responding to comments and it’s 6 years later. I respect this man

Awesome! Thank you so much for teaching me these, I'll definitely be doing them!

Interesting tricks, thanks for the upload. I learned the last trick you performed (the 4 digit number) 50 years ago. I love this trick and I perform it at gatherings all the time. However, I always performed it with 5 digit numbers. Therefore I just learned something new, the trick works with "any # of digits" numbers, I tested it. I also used to perform the trick with numbers ending with 1 or 0, I just borrow from the 10s digit (and the 100s digit if the 10s digit is 0) when I subtract the 2 from the 1s digit. Therefore, the rule you mentioned at 13:42 is not true.

Watching this for the 3rd time. This the kind of magic I love.

Very clever tricks! My grandkids loved them!

The card behind the back trick is a bit silly, because their card is on top, and it goes behind your back while on top, so to most people it's clear that you have control over their card immediately.

You can actually do the last trick with any number of zeros or ones at the end of the original four-digit number. This works because the other four numbers always add up to 19998 which is +20k - 2. If the first number ends in a 1 or a 0, you subtract 2 from the "two digit number" at the right end of the original four digit number (and add 20k). You need to "borrow one 10" from the tens digit to subtract 2 from the 1 or 0. Two zeros: subtract 2 from the "three-digit number" at the right end of the original four digit number (and add 20k). You need to "borrow one 100" from the 100's digit to subtract 2 from the 00). Three zeros: subtract 2 from the "four digit number" (and add 20k). You are "borrowing one 1000" from the 1000's digit to subtract 2 from the 000). Four zeros: Just subtract to from 20 k, because the other four numbers add up to 20k-2.

A good bar tender makes the bar. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome 1st trick I remember learning that in 1st grade

That 1st one got me I was like WHAT!! but that was pretty cool!

Well yeah!!! If they say carrot, and you pull out your carrot right there at the bar, YES ITS GOING TO BLOW THEIR MIND!!! LOL

THE 5’s TRICK GOT MEEE 🤯🤯🤯 LOVE IT !!! 😂 GOTTA USE THAT ONE FORSURE!!

Oh my all of your magic I understand and some even seen before when I was a kid, but the last one I don't really get it because I didn't put much practice in mathematic by in my school.

Some fun tricks here, I enjoyed it. I totally blanked on the question for the 5s trick, panicked, and said corn.

Awesome stuff. I’m having surgery next week and I am going to amaze the nursing staff. Hoping I can score a extra jello cup.

I can't believe you've been in the bar business for very long and those are the best tricks you've learned. Seriously. Are a lot better bar tricks out there

Good tricks great job thanks for posting.

Just tried the card trick with my family. They loved it! I came across as a bumbling fool because I've never done a magic trick before and I could see they were feeling sorry for me in the initial showings. Hahaha great fun! .

The Number five pool ball is orange! And pool tables are often in bars. Makes sense.

Thanks one of the best wp videos I've ever seen

Thanks for the video! Very clever math trick!

Fred - for the 55555 trick, you asked the vegetable and no shit, I hesitated for a split second and said out loud "carrot". I was stumped when you showed the paper with "carrot" written on it. Well done!

Very fun video - and I used to be a barmaid wish I had known these tricks at work - and yes it is always a little easier to blow someone's mind when they have had a few drinks !! But for the vegetable trick, I said cucumber :-( (I swear I have had nothing to drink!)

I Like the First one! The glass with the Cion vanished!NY.Queens.

Not gonna lie. You had me fucked up with the carrot one. 🤣 Definitely going to just try this.

first trick use napkins bro. prepare the shotglass with false floor by wetting rim with a lime, place on a napkin and remove outer paper. This trick works great in dim bar.

Harry Dahtery I noticed said cucumber. I was thinking cucumber but said carrot. Lol... That was a pretty cool little video. Thanks for sharing!

Is there a way of making that last maths trick work with 3 digits instead of 4 digits? Just to shorten it a bit really. Great participation trick though.

8:38 just wait till someone says Steven hawking 🤣

I usually go to the bar with a glass in my pocket that has paper glued to it. Now I know what to do with it. Having said that, I was stunned when he pulled out the carrot card.

Great stuff, thanks ♥️♠️♦️♣️🤘🏻

I like the straw one! For the card one, what happens if people start picking numbers starting with 9? Do you just start writing down 3 digit numbers? And obviously if the original number ends in 0 or 1 it's pretty easy to subtract 2 from it and add 20,000 lol. E.g. if the number was 9281 the total is just 29279

Loved the number one at the end. I totally failed the vegetable one and answered, "courgette" which are usually green though you can get yellow ones. You might call a courgette, zucchini.

This is really cool. Thank you for the video.

I do the math trick having them randomly draw from a deck of cards. If they draw an ace, picture or 10 I just tell them to draw another one because "we only want single digits"

I said broccoli lol 😂. Thank you for the tricks. What bar are you working at?

Wow!!! The 5 trick worked for me as you did it. So interesting. New subscriber because I was searching for from scratch bloody mary mix.

Waaaay too fun! Thanks!

70% percent of the time it works every time.....

The last digit can be one or zero. In these cases you just deduct 2 from the last two digits. For example, if the number you used was 6541 the answer would be 26539 and if it was 6540 the answer would be 26538.

It's really nice my dear friend. God bless you and your family

Thank you I always like to learn magic 👍

There was a well known bar in Chicago called the New York Lounge which often had pro magicians working behind the bar. It was a great place to bring a date, they always had some kind of dirty joke to go with each trick. It really inspired me to learn and diligently practice about 40 tricks, I usually did a routine of about 10 at any one time. One of my favorites was a very realistic small mouse, I would be having a conversation with some stranger and suddenly a the mouse's head would peek out from my open sports coat, the run across my shirt and disappear, it would happen so fast that person would blink and then wonder if they imagined it. Most people wouldn't say anything, unless they saw me do some tricks later on, then they would come up to me and say "So I did see a mouse, it was a magic trick" and of course I would feign confusion and ask "what mouse", this would get them wondering if they really did have too many drinks. Magic tricks are a great ice breaker and a good way to pick up girls. I often was able to bet for drinks (or a pretty girl's phone number) from my tricks. Your first one is an old standard and is too much of a pain to set up as a bar patron. The straw is a very ez one for people to learn. The pyramid 5 trick has way too high of a failure rate. I was never into card or math tricks too much although I know quite a few. As you said, it's very easy to fool people that are drinking.

I said carrot. Not gonna lie. Well done! Cheers from NZ :)

What settings did you use for this machine?

With the first card trick you could do some false shuffles before you put it behind your back, keeping their selection on top. Pretend to cut to their card but just flip the top card over so you can peak at it. Then when behind you back again cut their card face up into the deck. Put the deck to one side and do a mind reading excersice (you already know the card). Reveal their card is the only card face up. .....just riffing.

I know the card trick is supposed to be for beginners but it doesn't make any sense to put a card on top of the deck and then put it behind your back without cutting it beforehand. The Spectator will know that you already know where their card is. it's obviously on top of the deck. don't get me wrong, it's a great trick but the beginning needs a little work. Maybe use a key card and look through the deck and then cut their card to the top before you put them behind your back. Great tricks though...

22465...was the number on your papers, but you said 22462, 2 times , but the numbers must add up . Not sure it matters if you just said the wrong number as long as they're added correctly? Thanks for the tricks! I've Lways enjoyed good magic tricks.

Awesome mathematical conundrum Thanks

the last one is super.always it works.awesome

1st vegetable that came to mind : five lol

8:45 The first vegetable that came to my mind was an apple. LMAO

I loved the very last one you did.

nice one you did man you awsome

I always go to the bar with some sheets of A4 paper, scissors and glue.....

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that you don't put it into a fruit salad."

Thanks, loved the number tricks

Nicely done !!!

Dude, when you said “what’s the first vegetable that comes to your mind?” I literally said “5”.

22465 "twenty two four six two" i guess he used all his fives in his previous trick lmfao

Magic or tricks, you are one baddass entertainer!!!!!👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼😃

Good fun stuff! Thanks

When I think of "5" then I see the colour green xD And I have thought of the word "five" :D

I pretty sure tomato is a fruit. If you don’t trust me look it up

Your magic tricks are so cool

last one was my favorite. thank you for the video.

The math trick, i have been doing it since my childhood, you say the number can not end in a 1 or 0, yes it can lets say they choose 2341 the answer will be 22339 so what happens u subtract the last two digits by 2

22462....multiple times.....turned 5 into 2.......MAGIC! Tada!

Niceeee Great video Steve from Missouri

Good. Nice idea

I said cucumber. But felt better when he explained. I happen to be color blind. lol

Technically tomato is a fruit.😁

Thats amazing bro. Sending my support here from the philippines.

Owns a bar and has time to show us cool tricks. AND he still comments. LEGEND!

6:55 I did this to a lot of people and blew their minds away, when I did this to my girlfriend she said zucchini....

I said "orange" for the pyramid of 5's lol thats pretty cool.

Straw trick will make you learn knot theory... Amazing...

Ek number 👍🏼

You're second "Freudian" slip was repeated saying 22462 ^_^ But 5s look like 2s when upside-down :D

For the last trick, if the last digit of the top number is 0 or 1, you can subtract 2 from the last two digits. For example, if the number is 4321, the number you secretly write down would be 24319; if the number is 3210, you would secretly write down 23208. If the top number ends in 01 or 00, subtract 2 from the last three digits; if it ends in 001 or 000, subtract 2 from the entire number. Example: if given 5001, secretly write down 24999. The two extreme cases are if the top number is 1001 or 1000; your secret number in these cases would be 20999 and 20998 respectively.

Wow good magics love it 👍👍👍

Just got this recommended...lost out on 9 year's of free beers....good video

I'll watch again when I'm drunk.

@13:03 you keep saying 22462 when it reads 22465

Thanks for revealing these terrific tricks! It will be fun performing them!

The last trick is awesome

05:13 Are you sure you didn't figuratively shuffle the deck?

22462 even when am seeing 23465? Maybe I was drunk as this mathematics magician genius can't be wrong. Lol. Sweet tricks and well explained. Only that I will now pronounce "5" as two. We learn everyday.

Fantastic!!!

love this I just subecribed

My guy recorded this after he just finished cleaning up the bar at 3 am and still waiting for his ride😭😂😂

when you did the 5's and asked for a vegetable, I said cucumber

Thanks 👍👍!..
