David Blaine Magic Tricks on 'GMA'

I'm going to get you out of this, because I'm going to bring somebody who's going to show us all of the illusions. You know who I'm bringing to the table? The one and only David Blaine, everybody. Hey, David. Hey, how you doing? Now, David, you got this... How you doing? You got a special on ABC tonight. Tonight. All right, tell us all about it, man. I've worked two years on it, and I think it's the most interesting one that I've done, because it's not just magic tricks, per se. It's kind of a documentary that goes into the secrets behind how I actually work on tricks. And I had a chance to actually see it, and it is amazing. I've got to say, I think some of the stuff you're doing is just blowing your mind, because I'm like, why would you want to do it? And you have good reasons for diving so deep into these tricks, but you tricked a lot of stars. Who was the most surprised? Man, they're so good in so many ways, it's hard to isolate one. I picked all my favorite people and was lucky to be able to just jazz out with them. By the way, I brought you these special ABC decks of cards. Thank you. Since you brought cards, we can't let you go without doing it. No, I agree. But can everybody stand up except for Michael, because you'll make us look short. And everybody else, can you all stand up? So, but Michael, you know how to shuffle, correct? Yes, sir. Can you shuffle the deck a couple of times and examine it, make sure it's okay? Can I use your card? Absolutely. Can I write on the back of it? Absolutely. So I'm going to write some words down while Michael shuffles. So you see, I write E-S-P. What does that mean to you, E-S-P? Psychic. Psychic, whatever, right? Right. Here, and then I'll write V-I-P. What is that? Very important person. Yeah, perfect. And then I'll do now, like this, N-O-W, now. Can you hold this for me? Sure. Now, Michael, you shuffled the cards. Yes, I did. Can you spread them face up right here so she can see them all right? Yeah, face up, face up, yeah. Great. Yeah, good, so we can see all of them. Okay. So, yeah, spread them out. Yeah, yeah, good. Now, here's what I want you to do. Perfect. Okay. Put your finger at the top of the deck like this, and I want you to slowly move across the cards, but you're not thinking about a card specific. Just slowly move across the deck. And, yeah, slow down as you go. Great. And keep slowly moving across. Yeah, yeah. Good. And keep moving across. That's magical. And then you're basically going to stop anywhere, so wherever you want to stop. Yeah? Oh, you're stopping? Lower your finger where you're, so you stopped on what card? Three? Three of diamonds. Three of diamonds? Push it forward. So you could have stopped anywhere, but you chose to stop on the three of diamonds. Right. Okay. Do you know why you stopped on this card? No, I don't know. I'll tell you why. Because of that. Subconsciously, your brain read that differently. Can you turn it so we could read it this way? Yeah, flip it this way. Yeah, yeah. What does it say? Flip it like this. What does it say? Like this. What does it say? Read it. Three? Three diamonds. Three. See that? Hold on. Look. So I'm saying subconsciously, your brain actually processed it, but you weren't aware, so you did this. You chose to stop there. That is unbelievable. Oh my god. Well, you know what? That was subconsciously. Consciously, we're going to watch your show. Absolutely. It is David Blaine, Beyond Magic. It airs tonight at 10. And you could have stopped there. So you chose your brain. Check it out.
