That was awesome. I find that type of magic so much better than a big David Copperfield style "illusion".

The tricks are nothing new but Lance's handling is amazing as usual.

Meh, he didn't even pull a rabbit out a hat. Other than that, it was awsome!

His distraction and hand speed is fantastic.

As far as the candles:

There's a weird edit where he throws the handkerchief out of his hand at :44, then you can clearly see it's a bird coming out of his hand, then it disappears for a split second, then reappears as a bird flying away. All between :43 and :45.

I always wonder how much they clean up the tricks in post when they produce these things for TV.

fsoyars, you need to turn up the brightness on your monitor I think.

The bird didn't disappear, it was just tossed into an area engulfed in a shadow because of how the stage lighting was.

Watch again.

where the **** did those candles come from?!?!?!?!?

i also always thought it was slight of hand, not sleight. potentially massive embarrassment avoided now.

The looks he gives the camera at 2:05 is really special.
