biclops The woman wasn't a plant. He tapped her back and brushed her arm with some string or something (you can see him loop it around a finger). For the pressure release arm movement thing YOU CAN SEE HIS FUCKING LEG MOVE UP AND DOWN TO COMMUNICATE!
You people are fucking ridiculous.
RandomFerret STOP IT! STOP BEING ENTERTAINED! YOUR HAPPINESS ANGERS ME!
Syd Midnight That was a whiz-bang bit of cold reading he did on her at the end. If she hated me, he'd have gotten it even faster.
This was a ton of fun, and some pretty good showmanship.
Syd Midnight The thing is, it was fun watching him do it, and that was his lamest trick. The wiki article isn't fun, and now the trick can never be fun again, but it was fun when he did it.
joyofdiscord The last trick was cool, but the rest of it was pretty standard 2-bit mentalist crap, except for the bottle trick which was a 2-bit magician's trick that is widely available for sale.
gambol I've actually seen that last trick fail. The audience was somewhat less impressed.
