for tricks like that...but I think he does a bad job of setting up the tricks in such a way that would remove doubt.
This reminded me of a guy I grew up with who does a show of what he calls chamber magic in the Palace Hotel (he used to do it at the Waldorf until it closed). It is an intimate setting with heavy audience participation and he does incredible stuff. I still haven't seen the show, but this reminded me about it. I'll have to check out tickets.
It’s easy, both actors were in on it, America just needed to pick the number of preset envelope, the clock in bag is remote control, he sets it to 9 after Corbin picks it with a remote in his pocket or shoe, Pivin says 6;05 which was set up ahead of time, as an owner of Patek and Rolex, if you pull out the spinner all the way, it doesn’t change time, only when it’s halfway pulled out, he sets it to 6:05 and pulls it out all the way when he hands it to Corbin so he is not actually changing the time as he spins it. Twins in front row are in on it.
How come they don't just pick the winning lottery numbers (or winning stocks) and run away.
I don't know how he does it, but it works because we want to be fooled (ht the late great Ricky Jay). James Randi also has great segments on streaming and Youtube explaining how these guys do their "illusions"."
A big difference between what can't be explained and what Â
Why would you want to explain it? If you did, he would no longer be entertaining to folks like me and it would put the guy out of a job. Have you ever been out of work? It's no fun.
I never get tired of seeing women being sawed in half and then being put back together again, or guys in handcuffs and chains put in a tank of water. I absolutely do NOT want to know how they do it.

Look up Steve Cohen, Chamber Magic.
Probably planted those ideas when they were in the green room.
There is an interesting TED talk on it and it is very very real.
