Who is this amazing French close-up magician?

July 26, 2010 5:10 PM

Help me find an old clip I saw on the Internet a while back of a magician making cards disappear as he deals them.

The clip show a magician, who I vaguely remember as being French, dealing cards out onto a table. There were people sitting close by and I think he performed a few varied tricks before ending with an astonishing piece of sleight of hand. He deals the cards out onto the table, but no cards land on the table - and yet he ends up with no cards in his hand.

I think his sleeves are rolled up and I remember being amazed when I saw it. Alas I can't find it anywhere.

Was it at a TED conference? Lennart Green?

He is just palming them and then pushing them off the table before showing his hands.

no, don't thank z_w:

He is looking at videos and then pushing them out of his mind by showing his cynicism
