lol. Yeah that`s Daniel Dennett, philosopher and friend of James Randi.

Like many of you, Randi is my hero too.

this isn`t that hard to perform. to do so you just have to make sure you leave plenty of space between your wrists or legs and it should be really easy for anyone with small hands to perform this trick

I like classy humour like this. It`s refreshing after only seeing rude, angry humour for so long. A great comedic roaster was of all people Orson Wells

my drivers ed teacher Mr. Blake RIP once cut a solid pencil in half with a crisp fresh dollar bill when he was 80yr old. I didn`t believe him until I saw it with my own eyes. RIP Mr. Blake

@3:56, you can clearly see that he`s using witchcraft.

I suggest a pyre.

For those interested.

First off he isn`t an amazing magician because of his tricks he`s an amazing magician because he`s so entertaining.

While hard to explain I will try my best with this trick.

Look at the way he is tied up. The best way to show the magic in this trick is to work backwards. Take a tightly tied rope. Take the rope and place it over your left wrist. Take your right hand and grab your left wrist and with your left grab your right wrist, going through the looped rope. Now with both hands in the loop rotate your hands so it looks like you are praying.

HA got you to pray! You are now God`s bitch!

Lol just kidding. Look at the rope over your hands. Depending on how tight you made it it should look like it is tied firmly. However, it can easily be undone by twisting your hands and grabbing your wrists.
