Why is your family carrying cards?

@@JanetStarChild As a young American, I agree.

@@JanetStarChild You think that's just Americans?

@@1Thunderfire Good point; it's highly likely a generational thing, with people under 30 having virtually no patience anymore. There's ADHD; and then there's the Gen Z attention-span.

I choose to believe your aunt is the one who is charmed and amazed, and your little brother is really grumpy about the ruined deck of cards.

@@FortressofTrees D@mn, beat me to it. I was going to ask how his little brother got that cynical.

@@FortressofTrees That would have been me and my grandma when I was a kid. She always pretends to be amazed at anything anyone does and I was always the skeptical one.

I fully believe it's the little brother who's the cynic. Kids are more observant than adults, so they'd oft see the slight of hand.

Aunts notoriously praise their niblings, even when they are not amused.

Nah, it was all CGI

You wouldn't by any chance happen to be American?

@@devanbrowne8706 LOL not at all. I just have a sufficient understanding of how to watch frame-by-frame xD

That is absolutely shocking. Truly unbelievable. Only 96 times in Croydon?

Living in a city that gets a lot of tourists in the summer, I think many people would stand there and stare. And then ask each other stupid questions, loud enough for everyone to hear. Not just the crowd around the street performer.

@@r3dd3v1lL Given that Jon's comment is clearly intended sarcastically, despite the deadpan delivery, I can't tell if you've failed to get the joke or are going for some next-level meta-sarcasm. I'm going to assume the latter, just because I want it to be the case. 🤣

Of course! People are not allowed to lie on TV 😂

Once upon a time they had magicians on the radio.

Reminds me of Derren Brown's Russian roulette TV special when one of the tabloids ran a headline the following day saying that it had been faked, because obviously an illusionist doing a television show featuring firearms would actually run the risk of shooting himself dead.

Why aren't more people noticing this?!

@@ABeckettKing To be fair I only noticed it when you tweeted about it.

@@AzimovTube I feared as much, but allowed myself to dream.

@@ABeckettKing Look at that back palm! Did you actually learn it for the sketch?

Hahaha 😭

the "fans" in america were paid to be there. Had a friend made 500 bucks during that nonsense.

This is the single funniest thing I have heard so far this year.

The world would've been better if we invented fireballs from hands before editing. Or much worse, idk. Either way, cooler

That's sorta wholesome though 😁

When I was a kid, small handheld transistor radios were a thing. People would play music very loud over the incredibly tiny tinny speakers. Nowadays those transistor radios are a thing of the past, fortunately. Now people play music very loud over incredibly tiny speakers of their phone. But I really groaned when some kids remarked, after watching a fragment from the original Alien (1979). "Whoa, look at the quality of that video! I didn't know they had FHD resolution back then"

Hello, I am one of the gullible people who will drop their jaw, shriek "Oooh", and be utterly mystified by your simplest tricks. Thanks for freaking my mind 😁

It's all editing now int it they all do it now with computers don't they

He actually learned how to conjure flame in his hand, that's dedication.

And actually a good back palm. You don't learn that in 10 minutes.

@@Littletime839 doing that with a computer may be harder to do than actually take time to learn the trick. People seem to think that computers are machines where you press a button and everything you want is done. No, it's still a lot of work for even basic effects.

Aren't we all that guy once in a while? It all depends on who's asking, and what we didn't see...

Lol American here, a lot of times the people are actors and they're told to be loud, excited, etc. because it makes the show interesting. Or honestly a lot of the people could've been drunk if it was a tourist hotspot. And most of the "(insert group here), doesn't know basic geography etc" street interviews are fake too. The film crew asks a lot of people questions until they find the few that really don't know the answers and they edit it to look like everyone they asked didn't know. Or they use actors too. Watched it happen in town one time. Crew asked everyone that walked by questions. The host was getting really angry when no one got them wrong.

@@thehappydragon9491 It seems to be endemic. I was recently watching some Family Feud episodes, and everyone always gets really excited and screams "Great Answer" no matter how utterly stupid the answer is. Over here if someone gave a dumb answer the mother or grandmother would give them a smack to the back of the head and call them a pillock 😂

@@adelucas4824 Lol, my grandma would've done the same and called me a dumbass😂 The audience of those game shows are prompted to applause and cheer by a sign. It's pretty interesting to see behind the scenes imo.

@@thehappydragon9491 You might not know this, but Americans are notoriously extremely enthusiastic and excitable compared to basically every other culture. That's why those paid actors act like that... they are acting the way Americans behave

We do get obnoxiously loud, but our enthusiasm can be boundless.

@@feurigerStern I know Americans don't have the best of reputations for many reasons (same as us Brits really) but I do admire your general enthusiasm and can-do attitude.

Aww, that's sweet. Thank you! My heart is genuinely warmed a little.

I feel like Americans get undue hate because they talk too much and they're too loud (even though most of them mean well). Meanwhile, Canadians get the better reputation because people confuse being polite with being nice.

I thought he meant less "it's a waste of the 2 quid you spent to buy a throwaway deck of cards" and more "it's a waste of all the plastic-coated paper that you can now just throw away". In terms of materials a pack of MTG cards is much less wasteful.
