wow. Thanks dude! Message me! Would enjoy reconnecting.

Go Panthers!

I always get a kick out of running into asmrtists on random videos :D

Come to Milwaukee and perform I'd pay to see you!

I think he's gay so I hope he didn't check you out in the shower.

Yes, P&T treat the acts all very positively. Being on the show is a great experience, regardless of the outcome!

Amen :)

Wow +Woxlayks , just saw this comment. Thank you very much. I appreciate that you appreciate my approach towards comments : ) It's rare in live performances that the audience is comfortable/blunt enough to share criticism after a performance. While it's sometimes tough to hear, I like that I can get less-filtered input through online comments!

Trigg Watson Magic your trick was lame as hell i was doing that trick when I was 10. A good one to do is make the coin go into the inside down glass with water in it. Well to be honest there is a little cut on the bottom so when you turn it upside down it will be up top. Then you move your fingers and fling some glitter and poof the coin is in the cup.

+JJGeneral1 Yes! Princess Bride

+JJGeneral1 joe!

Bwernie Stwinson

Neil Patrick Harris

haha thanks +Megaminder Ives !

Thanks dude : )

lol I'm blushing.

¡Muchas gracias!

Thanks @Spiritlink!

Thanks Dylan!

+manwithth3plan Mee too! In fact, they've been there on every single episode!

+Tom Duhamel good point ok so I have had 4 then haha

Thanks Tahira. I also wish it was a tad bit smoother, and I also can't wait to see my future work, so that makes two of us!

+bsneaky33 Why thankya!

TRIGGERED

+Daniel Gutierrez trigg-erd. if u see what I did therd

there

+William Hayden Thanks William! Glad you liked it. Out of complete curiosity, what "bulge" are you referring to?

Don't want to say too much, but it was under the red shirt. I thought I was seeing something but it's clearly there. I can only assume it's part of the quick change come loose. It wasn't there at first.

+William Hayden the quick change puts the original shirt (which is only a front) into the jacket and then he drops the jacket. i didn't see any bulge under the red shirt and there didn't really need to be one for it to work

You don't see the bulge as he walks off stage? Hmmm, I clearly see it, though I can't explain it. It really doesn't matter.

+William Hayden Well this bulge you're seeing is just the shirt. But it wasn't there before you say? Remember there's a lot of editing done to this before it goes on the air. You can see at 5:55 the shirt isn't tucked in. Then next camera switch at 5:57 it's perfectly tucked in. The bulge is just a baggy shirt. Does look a bit weird though like he's got a little pot belly. :)

+Chris Baca yep, i think that's it too

There was no iPad

+Bandit Leader The vase trick used an iPad. Which was the punchline. The EyePad. From the camera.

Christian Gregorio yeah but that isnt the IPad. thats the EyePad

Bandit Leader oh damn i gotta rethink my life

+Chuckderp awwww shucks. Thanks : )

:)

Certainly. The speed of technological progression forces innovation!

+M Stephens Yep, that is what I meant. I agree with you, and I actually did. Just not clear in the final edit. Thank you for the comment and the thoughts!

If only I had received any amount of compensation for the plug. That would have been nice :)

Lol next time! Hopefully!

Thanks David!

+Sean Clay brilliantly said...

+Mike Blarney true 😂

+Mike Blarney he has been replying to other posts

yeah there's plenty of apps on the app store that do that if you look them up.

next thing you're gonna tell me is that the vase didn't really fade into reality slowly.. of course it's prerecorded, including all the little movements. It's a choreography of moves and timing that he immitates with his hand behind the tablet

Duly noted : )

+404killer haha well that's a new theory. I wish that I had the ability to pull something out of my sleeve that quickly! Here's another performance with sleeves rolled up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldSqepR2yLO7h2Q.html

No he was just playing a video, and it did come out his sleeve

+NinjaBallista I know it came out his sleeve but you can see when he is pulling the iPad up it does not align with the flower

Never mind after watching it for the 10th time I think the vase was on the back of the iPad the whole time

+NinjaBallista when you put the clock on the stand you tilted the stand at the same time you flipped the clock to give the illusion that you turned it around but you flipped it to reveal the angry bird

Thanks!

Thanks Denita!

+TRiGG Magic your welcome. OMG YOU REPLIED THANK YOU

+mrBorkD Not pre-recorded. Little more complicated than that actually. Illusion can be performed in front of any background/environment without pre-filming. Good guess though!

+TRiGG Magic What I meant, was the vase effect was pre-recorded(or pre-made if you will). Both the appearing fade-in, and the sliding downwards, are screen effects. I believe that the actual vase can be flattened, and in some way hidden between the front of the ipad, and the camera(since it's not a standard camera). It's quite weird how the background on the ipad seems to show much more than we actually see on the video: but this is probably due to perspective, and camera zoom-in.

+Ambisinistrous You probably won't believe me, but this is actually what the camera is picking up (the camera is live, and the entire screen isn't pre-recorded...see a different performance here done outside - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldSqepR2yLO7h2Q.html). That said, re-watching I am also amazed that the camera picked up all those green bars. Must be a wide angle lens.

There was no iPad

+Bandit Leader Yeah, it was a really big ipod touch

+carloskronopio Thanks Carlos!

I'm so skinny I have to resort to multiple shirts to build out my physique : )

Thanks : ) Markie is an awesome name! Yes, nice to be the only one an a room with that name : )

+Joe Whittingham Aaaaand I think the few clock cards that are presented to Jonathan are all at the bottom of the deck, and never spread out for him to chose from. Nice reverse psychology with "This is not a force ~_~ "

Rough and smooth like invisible deck of cards and phantom deck of cards David Seth kotkin Christian illusionist Copperfield uses those kinds of deck of cards and record albums covers

+Joe Whittingham Thanks for the thoughts! Nope, no magnets in the cards Jonathan chose from. It was cut out of the final edit, but they actually were given to Jonathan to examine at the end.

+TRiGG Magic Nope, no rough and smooth (though that could have been a feasible method). Cards were fully examinable by Jonathan at the end of the routine (though the final edit didn't show it!)

Wow then you were very brave to use a magicians force :) God Bless everyone InChrist always chubby billpage illusionist magician in fun:)🐇

I thought the app was fake. just look at the background on the stage,then look at the back ground on the ipad......it it looks smaller, like what?Are my eyes tricking me?Am I the only one seeing this?Am I high.....Am I even real?

+Random Peculiar Introvert dude maybe the ipad is far away from the background.......

+Steven Nelson To be fair, KZfaq does not spoil the mystery, it just enables THE AUDIENCE to spoil the illusion for themselves. The decision to live in the mystery, or not, is now the audience's responsibility. After all, you are the one that decided slow the video down : )

human nature to want to know, that you'll never change trigg

+Bradley K I made all the props myself. Best of luck with your magic!

Because when TV producers ask you for production value and offer to pay for the shipping...you leap at the chance : )

when he wents to reveal his pick, u can see his right hand pulling down the shirt. hard to notice but with enough replays all his tricks are easily noticebale lol. The vase at the start, if u keep watching how was holding the IPad, u can easily realize he is holding the vase behind the ipad, i believe it is origami type of vase where it can be folded and unfolded easily.

Believe it or not, that actually is exactly what the live camera was picking up. This effect is NOT a prerecorded video.

+Russell Scott Thanks for the comments Russell! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback. Thought you might enjoy seeing a more effectively performed/filmed version of my iPad illusion kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldSqepR2yLO7h2Q.html (again, no camera tricks, pre-filming, or post-prod editing used to accomplish). It is always a challenge when you do not have the time to rehearse appropriate camera angles with the film crew (obviously was not a flawless execution on my part either, but the angle did not help). Also, you might be interested to know that the cards that Jonathan selected from were handed to Jonathan at the end for his examination (every one of them clocks, no angry birds). They were not as you say "just 1 on top and 3 on the bottom," though the final edit unfortunately did not show me fanning all of the cards. In addition, the app card that changed in the mic stand was also handed to Jonathan at the end for examination (free from trickery). Unfortunately, this was not clear in the final edit, as they shortened the performance for TV, and trimmed some time out. Again, thanks for your thoughts, I always enjoy reading candid reviews from viewers, as it helps improve my future performances. And if you are serious about giving me decade to become great, why not follow my journey on facebook! : ) facebook.com/triggwatson. Cheers, Trigg Watson

Thanks for the response Trigg. I do understand the complications of dealing with producers and time constraints. I'll check out the better version. PS: if you ever want to discuss your magic on my YT show, I'd be honored to have you as a guest. :)

cooooooooooooooool !!!!!

When Penn said "quick change" what does he mean did u change the card at some point? I don't c any point at which you would have been able to switch the cards.

Michael Lieberman Actually the term quick change usually refers to the act of changing clothes. In this case, he was referring to my shirt changing.

+Mysidian Bard I wish I knew! It's just royalty free music the production company gave me.

+Valentine Epstein I understand your point of view, and can understand why you would be naturally suspicious. Happy to say that I've been performing the routine in my live stage show for over a year with random spectators chosen every time. There were a variety of factors that went into selecting Jonathan for this particular performance (one of which was the fact that he already had a microphone on him so that when he named the app, he could be heard, and also that he would be comfortable with my verbal banter). I always enjoy hearing peoples' impressions/feedback. So thank you for sharing yours!

Hello @Archound Penrose. Trigg is an Old Norse name, which is likely why you haven't heard of it. To clarify, "Trigg" is derivative of of the Old Norse surname name, Tryggr or Triggr, meaning “trustworthy, faithful, true”. While Trig and Trigg have been in use since medieval times, the use of "i" instead of "y" is an English modification of the Old Norse name. Hope that helps clear it up. You can read more here - www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Trigg

+TRiGG Magic How dare you bring actual education into an idiotic comment on KZfaq, sir!!

Guess it must be a trick after all : ) +HeiShen

it is recorded most likely lol

Hi +3079daddy, thanks for your comment. Just to clarify, the camera app is NOT just a pre-recorded video. The camera app is live and picks up whatever background is behind the iPad. iPad cameras don't usually show the exact same perspective, so that's why the "grid" alignment was off. That said, I appreciate you watching closely and your attention to detail!

plus at 5:23 u can see the red at the bottom of the shirt before the change

Thank you +Raizat Hasrin

some tablets can flip the screen upside down.

The home button is on the bottom, it's just a mistake he was hoping no one would notice. It feels more 'magical' haveing the flower line up with the flower on the screen. But it gives the trick awaty

Quite well.
