I didn't know Kaito Kumon did magic

There's someone under the table wearing black gloves that passes him all the cards and takes away the ones he drops off the edge of the table.
Black table cloth, black suit, low contrast lighting.
(I have no idea how he does these - but that's the best I could come up with for the second video)

many of the moves are clearly visible and i can explain a good chunk of the rest but it's still a great performance.
sleight of hand? you can see him put it into his vest in one of the tricks.
watch closely his left hand as he flips cards with his right hand https://youtu.be/EAN-PwRfJcA?t=220
it's all about distracting eyes away from the trick with these types of tricks.

I'm pretty sure Penn & Tellers criteria for "being fooled" by legerdemain isn't "do they know how it was done" (because they do), it's "did they see the move being pulled"

Wow I only just realized that in his first appearance at about the 3:40 mark and on you can clearly see that the button on his vest around his stomach is the only one unbuttoned and that's obviously where he's sticking cards throughout that trick. And at one point he pushes the card from the stomach area into his pocket.

You still hear him laugh once in a while.

MY MIND FUCKING BROKE!!!
that was amazing!!!
There was a segment about them on a morning TV show once and teller talked in the interview.
lol I thought the same thing but this guy took the hard route just to make it look like he can do magic while Strange used a cheat code and took up magic instead of being able to return to his former job.
This guy is good though. Just as I think I can kind of figure out some of what he is doing, he pulls out some insane tricks that I just can't even begin to wrap my head around.
Yeah, Teller does all sorts of interviews and stuff when not performing or hosting. It's just a stage/screen gimmick.
It's his stage persona. He talks in interviews relatively often. He actually has a great voice, too.
In this video he teaches some tricks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x3w3S0YzaA

The very end of the trick really wowed me. I have no idea how he "transformed" the deck into the box into a single card so smoothly.

He is a master for sure, but for pure card handling (and only card handling) this is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen, not just on Fool Us.

As someone who's been through a similar injury (severed two of three tendons on back of thumb, and nicked the third) and went through all the therapy to get full motion back, doing what he did in a year seems impressive to me. The only signs of my injury are a shiny scar and a tightness when I stretch my thumb across my palm, but I don't have to have the kind of dexterity that appears essential to his job. I'm now 11 years past my injury...

That goofy "look at me, I'm so mysterious" stuff always makes me laugh

This is madness. The look on Tellers face throughout is just amazing.
We live in a simulation world and he figured out a way to spawn in cards.
but really..he's amazing.
