There is a hidden camera in the bookshelf behind Margot. (This doesn't explain how he guessed right on the second question.) David is fed the answer from the assistant via a hidden earpiece. The assistant knows the answer to the second question by observing the exact location of Margot's screen right after David asks the question, and then makes an educated guess on which word in frame is most likely to be chosen.ĭavid has an assistant on the premises that is somehow tracking in real time the local internet network activity and what is being searched via wi-fi. David's assistant remotely tracks the screen in real time and feeds David the info via a hidden earpiece. On the second question, I suppose it is possible that Margot caught a glimpse of the woman's palm before Margot revealed the second answer.ĭavid somehow in advance installed an app on Margot's phone that tracks the phone's screen. The viewer is never shown the screen of her smartphone. Therefore, she could have easily lied about him being correct. Margot did not write her guesses down anywhere when she was asked to think of them. David hadn't guessed correctly, but Margot said he did anyway. (This theory doesn't explain how he guessed right on the second question, "What random word from the article are you thinking of?".) ![]() (The agent maybe even brought up the story while one-on-one with Margot in order to "refresh" this memory and bring it to the front of Margot's mind.) David lied when he claims at the beginning of the video that, "They didn't tell me anything". Margot's partner, sister, friend, etc tipped David off about what Margot's personal story is and they orchestrated this trick without telling Margot. Here are all of the theories that I can think of:ĭavid met with an "inside" agent in advance of the trick. I've spent a lot of time trying to demystify this trick. I don't think the video is scripted, because that is beneath David Blaine. For example, there's no way that 20% of humans have a memorable story from their childhood about a "bunny". There is no way that the explanation for this level of mind reading is, "He was lucky." There must be more to the trick than random guesses, considering how open-ended the questions David posed to Margot were. A bit hard to believe, but fine, I buy it. You all convinced me that the answer is, "It was a lucky guess based on statistics". Yesterday, I asked a question here trying to figure out how on earth David Blaine knew the number that George W.
