Brain magic. What's brain magic all about?

2000
Magia mintii. In ce consta magia mintii?
00:14
Brain magic to me indicates that area of magic
1
2000
2000
Magia mintii pentru mine consta in acea parte a magiei
00:16
dealing with psychological and mind-reading effects.
2
4000
2000
care se ocupa cu efectele psihologice si cititul mintii.
00:18
So unlike traditional magic, it uses the power of words,
3
6000
4000
Asadar, spre deosebire de magia traditionala, magia mintii foloseste puterea cuvintelor,
00:22
linguistic deception, non-verbal communication
4
10000
3000
inselaciunea lingvistica, comunicarea non-verbala
00:25
and various other techniques to create the illusion of a sixth sense.
5
13000
4000
si alte diverse tehnici utilizate pentru a crea iluzia celui de-al saselea simt.
00:30
Now, I'm going to show you all how easy it is
6
18000
1000
Acum o sa va demonstrez cat de usor este
00:31
to manipulate the human mind once you know how.
7
19000
3000
sa manipulezi mintea omului daca stii cum.
00:34
And I want everybody downstairs also to join in with me and everybody here.
8
22000
3000
Si vreau de asemenea ca tot publicul sa mi se alature mie si celor de aici.
00:37
I want everybody to put out your hands like this for me, first of all.
9
25000
3000
In primul rand vreau ca toata lumea sa aseze mainile asa.
00:40
OK, clap them together, once.
10
28000
2000
In regula, aplaudati o data.
00:42
OK, reverse your hands.
11
30000
2000
In regula, inversati mainile.
00:44
Now, follow my actions exactly.
12
32000
2000
Acum faceti exact ceea ce fac eu.
00:46
Now about half the audience has their left hand up. Why is that?
13
34000
3000
Aproximativ jumatate din audienta are mana stanga ridicata. De ce acest lucru?
00:49
OK, swap them around, put your right hand up.
14
37000
3000
In regula, inversati mainile si ridicati mana dreapta.
00:52
OK, now, cross your hands over, so your right hand goes over,
15
40000
2000
In regula, acum incrucisati mainile, astfel incat mana dreapta sa treaca pe deasupra,
00:54
interlace your fingers like this,
16
42000
2000
incrucisati degetele astfel,
00:56
then make sure your right thumb is outside your left thumb --
17
44000
2000
asigurati-va ca degetul mare drept este deasupra celui stang
00:58
that's very important.
18
46000
2000
acest lucru este foarte important.
01:00
Yours is the other way around, so swap it around.
19
48000
2000
Al vostru este invers, asa ca schimbati.
01:02
Excellent, OK. Extend your fingers like this for me.
20
50000
3000
Excelent. Intindeti degetele asa.
01:05
All right. Tap them together once.
21
53000
2000
In regula. Loviti usor o data.
01:07
OK, now, if you did not allow me to deceive your minds,
22
55000
5000
In regula, acum, daca nu mi-ati permis sa va induc in eroare,
01:12
you would all be able to do this.
23
60000
2000
ar trebui sa puteti sa faceti asta.
01:14
(Laughter)
24
62000
6000
(Rasete)
01:20
So, now you can see how easy it is
25
68000
2000
Asa ca vedeti cat de usor este
01:22
for me to manipulate the human mind, once you know how.
26
70000
3000
sa induci in eroare mintea umana, daca stii cum.
01:25
(Laughter)
27
73000
3000
(Rasete)
01:28
Now, I remember when I was about 15,
28
76000
2000
Imi aduc aminte cand aveam aproximativ 15 ani,
01:30
I read a copy of Life magazine,
29
78000
3000
ca am citit in revista Life
01:33
which detailed a story about a 75-year-old blind Russian woman
30
81000
4000
o poveste despre o femeie oarba, in varsta de 75 de ani din Rusia,
01:37
who could sense printed letters --
31
85000
2000
care putea sa simta literele tiparite --
01:39
there's still people trying to do it here --
32
87000
2000
sunt oameni care incearca sa faca asta aici --
01:41
(Laughter)
33
89000
2000
(Rasete)
01:43
-- who could sense printed letters and even sense colors, just by touch.
34
91000
3000
-- care putea sa simta literele tiparite si de asemenea sa simta culorile, doar prin atingere.
01:46
And she was completely blind.
35
94000
2000
Si ea era complet oarba.
01:48
She could also read the serial numbers on bills
36
96000
2000
Putea de asemenea sa citeasca numerele de cod de pe facturi
01:50
when they were placed, face down, on a hard surface.
37
98000
2000
cand erau asezate cu fata in jos pe o suprafata solida.
01:52
Now, I was fascinated, but at the same time, skeptical.
38
100000
4000
Eram fascinat, dar in acelasi timp si sceptic.
01:56
How could somebody read using their fingertips?
39
104000
2000
Cum ar putea cineva sa citeasca utilizandu-si doar varful degetelor?
01:58
You know, if you actually think about it,
40
106000
3000
Daca va ganditi la acest lucru,
02:01
if somebody is totally blind --
41
109000
2000
daca cineva este orb -
02:03
a guy yesterday did a demonstration in one of the rooms,
42
111000
2000
ieri un tip a facut o demonstratie intr-o camera
02:05
where people had to close their eyes and they could just hear things.
43
113000
3000
si oamenii trebuiau sa inchida ochii ca sa auda niste lucruri.
02:08
And it's just a really weird thing to try and figure out.
44
116000
3000
Si este un lucru ciudat sa incerci sa iti dai seama
02:11
How could somebody read using their fingertips?
45
119000
3000
cum ar putea cineva sa citeasca folosind doar varful degetelor?
02:14
Now earlier on, as part of a TV show that I have coming up on MTV,
46
122000
3000
Recent, in timp ce lucram la un spectacol TV care urmeaza sa fie difuzat pe MTV,
02:17
I attempted to give a similar demonstration
47
125000
3000
am incercat sa demonstrez ceva similar,
02:20
of what is now known as second sight.
48
128000
2000
care acum este cunoscut sub numele de vedere secundara.
02:22
So, let's take a look.
49
130000
2000
Asa ca haideti sa vedem despre ce e vorba.
02:24
(Video) Man: There we go.
50
132000
2000
(Video) Barbatul: Haide sa incepem.
02:26
I'm going to guide you into the car.
51
134000
2000
Te voi ajuta sa intri in masina.
02:28
Kathryn Thomas: (Laughter)
52
136000
1000
Kathryn: (Rasete)
02:29
Man: You're OK, keep on going.
53
137000
2000
Barbatul: E in regula, continua.
02:31
KT: How are you?
54
139000
1000
Kathryn: Ce mai faci?
02:32
Keith Barry: Kathryn, it's Keith here. I'm going to take you to a secret location, OK?
55
140000
5000
Keith Barry: Kathryn, sunt Keith, te voi duce intr-o locatie secreta, bine?
02:37
Now, Kathryn, there was no way you could see through that blindfold, at all, through all that.
56
145000
3000
KB: Acum, Kathryn, nu ai avut cum sa vezi legata la ochi.
02:40
KT: OK, but don't say my name like that.
57
148000
2000
Kathryn: Bine, dar nu imi pronunta numele asa.
02:42
KB: No, but you're OK, yes?
58
150000
1000
KB: Nu, dar esti in regula, da?
02:43
KT: Yes.
59
151000
1000
Kathryn: Da.
02:44
KB: There's no way you could have seen through it, agreed?
60
152000
1000
KB: Nu a existat nici o posibilitate sa vezi legata asa la ochi, de acord ?
02:45
KT: No.
61
153000
1000
Kathryn: Da.
02:46
KB: OK, I'm just going to take it off. You're OK, you're OK.
62
154000
1000
KB: In regula, te voi dezlega la ochi, esti in regula, esti in regula.
02:47
Do you want to take off the other part of it?
63
155000
2000
Vrei sa scoti tu cealalta parte?
02:49
Go ahead and take it off, you're OK. We'll just stop for a second.
64
157000
2000
Da-ti jos baticul, esti in regula. Vom face o pauza pentru cateva secunde.
02:51
KT: I'm so afraid of what I'm going to see.
65
159000
2000
Kathryn: Imi este frica de ce voi vedea.
02:53
KB: No, no, you're fine, you're fine, take it off. You're OK. You're safe.
66
161000
3000
KB: Nu, nu, esti bine, esti bine, da-l jos. Esti in regula, esti in siguranta.
02:56
Have you ever heard of second sight?
67
164000
2000
Ai auzit vreodata de vedere secundara?
02:58
KT: No.
68
166000
1000
Kathryn: Nu.
02:59
KB: Second sight is whereby a mind-control expert
69
167000
2000
KB: Vederea secundara este modul prin care un expert in controlul mintii
03:01
can see through somebody else's eyes.
70
169000
3000
poate sa vada prin ochii altcuiva.
03:04
And I'm going to try that right now.
71
172000
2000
Si voi incerca acest lucru chiar acum.
03:11
KT: God.
72
179000
2000
Kathryn: Dumnezeule.
03:19
KB: Are you ready?
73
187000
1000
KB: Esti pregatita?
03:20
Where is it? There's no way ...
74
188000
4000
Unde este? Nu se poate ...
03:24
KT: (Beep)
75
192000
2000
Kathryn: (Cenzura)
03:28
Oh, my God!
76
196000
2000
O, Dumnezeule!
03:30
KB: Don't say anything,
77
198000
2000
KB: Shh. Nu mai vorbi,
03:32
I'm trying to see through your eyes. I can't see.
78
200000
1000
Incerc sa vad prin ochii tai. Nu vad.
03:34
KT: There's a wall, there's a wall.
79
202000
2000
Kathryn: Este un zid, este un zid.
03:36
KB: Look at the road, look at the road.
80
204000
2000
KB: Fii atenta la drum, uita-te la drum.
03:38
KT: OK, OK, OK. Oh, my God!
81
206000
2000
Kathryn: Bine, bine, bine. O, Dumnezeule!
03:40
KB: Now, anything coming at all?
82
208000
1000
KB: Zi-mi, urmeaza ceva?
03:41
KT: No, no, no, no.
83
209000
1000
Kathryn: Nu, nu, nu, nu.
03:42
KB: Sure there's not?
84
210000
1000
KB: Esti sigura?
03:43
KT: No, no, I'm just still looking at the road.
85
211000
2000
Kathryn: Da, da. Sunt inca atenta la drum.
03:45
I'm looking at the road, all the time.
86
213000
2000
Ma uit la drum tot timpul.
03:47
I'm not taking my eyes off the road.
87
215000
2000
Nu imi dezlipesc ochii de la drum.

Kathryn: Fii atent la drum -- (Beep)
04:09
Still got that goddamn blindfold on.
95

Inca sunt legat la ochi.

101

2000
Este asa ciudat.
04:29
We're nearly there. Oh, my God!

Aproape am ajuns. O, Dumnezule!

04:40
KT: That is weird.
105
268000
2000
Kathryn: Este asa ciudat.
04:47
You're like a freak-ass of nature.
106
275000
3000
Esti ca un ciudat al naturii.
04:50
That was the most scary thing I've ever done in my life!
107
278000
3000
A fost cel mai inspaimantator lucru pe care l-am facut vreodata in viata mea.

(Aplauze)
04:54

109
282000
2000
Va multumesc.
04:56
By the way, two days ago,
110
284000
1000
Apropo, acum doua zile
04:57
we were going to film this
111
285000
2000
urma sa filmam asta
04:59
down there, at the race course,
112
287000
1000
acolo, la traseul de curse,
05:00
and we got a guy into a car,
113
288000
2000
si am adus un tip in masina
05:02
and we got a camera man in the back,
114
290000
2000
si am pus si un cameraman pe bancheta din spate,
05:04
but halfway through the drive, he told me he had a --
115
292000
2000
dar la jumatatea drumului, mi-a zis ca avea --
05:06
I think it was a nine-millimeter or something, stuck to his leg.
116
294000
2000
Cred ca era un pistol de 9mm sau ceva asemanator, legat de picior.
05:08
So, I stopped pretty quick, and that was it.
117
296000
2000
Asa ca am oprit destul de repede si asta a fost totul.
05:10
So, do you believe it's possible
118
298000
2000
Credeti ca este posibil
05:12
to see through somebody else's eyes?
119
300000
2000
sa vezi prin ochii altcuiva?
05:14
That's the question.
120
302000
1000
Aceasta este intrebarea.
05:15
Now, most people here would automatically say no. OK,
121
303000
3000
Majoritatea oamenilor de aici ar spune nu. In regula,
05:18
but I want you to realize some facts.
122
306000
2000
dar vreau sa va dati seama de cateva lucruri
05:20
I couldn't see through the blindfold.
123
308000
2000
Nu puteam sa vad pentru ca eram legat la ochi.
05:22
The car was not gimmicked or tricked in any way.
124
310000
3000
Masina nu era aranjata in nici un fel,
05:25
The girl, I'd never met before, all right.
125
313000
3000
fata -- nu o intalnisem pana in acel moment, da?
05:28
So, I want you to just think about it for a moment.
126
316000
2000
Asa ca vreau sa va ganditi la acest lucru pentru o clipa.
05:30
A lot of people try to come up
127
318000
2000
Multe persoane incerca sa vina
05:32
with a logical solution to what just happened, all right.
128
320000
3000
cu o solutie logica pentru ceea ce s-a intamplat. In regula.
05:35
But because your brains are not trained in the art of deception,
129
323000
3000
Dar din cauza ca mintea voastra nu este antrenata in arta inselaciunii,
05:38
the solutions you come up with
130
326000
2000
solutiile pe care le gasiti
05:40
will, 99 percent of the time, be way off the mark.
131
328000
2000
vor fi in proportie de 99% mult departe de realitate.
05:42
This is because magic is all about directing attention.
132
330000
4000
Asta deoarce, in magie, totul se rezuma la distragerea atentiei.
05:46
If, for instance, I didn't want you to look at my right hand,
133
334000
2000
Daca, de exemplu, nu vroiam ca voi sa vedeti mana mea dreapta,
05:48
well, then, I don't look at it.
134
336000
2000
ei bine, atunci, nu ma uitam la ea.
05:50
But if I wanted you to look at my right hand,
135
338000
2000
Dar daca vroiam ca voi sa-mi vedeti mana dreapta,
05:52
then I look at it, too. You see,
136
340000
2000
atunci m-as fi uitat la ea, vedeti?
05:54
it's very, very simple, once you know how,
137
342000
2000
Este foarte, foarte simplu, odata ce stiti cum sa procedati,
05:56
but very complicated in other ways.
138
344000
2000
dar foarte complicat in alte cazuri.
05:58
Now, I'm going to give you some demonstrations up here, live, right now.
139
346000
2000
Acum, o sa va ofer cateva demonstratii aici, in direct, in acest moment.
06:00
I need two people to help me out real quick.
140
348000
2000
Am nevoie rapid de doua persoane care sa ma ajute.
06:02
Can you come up?
141
350000
1000
Poti veni aici?
06:03
And let's see, down at the end, here,
142
351000
3000
Si sa vedem, acolo jos in capat, aici,
06:06
can you also come up, real quick?
143
354000
1000
poti sa urci si tu aici rapid?
06:07
Do you mind?

06:08
Yes, at the end.
145
356000
1000
Da, la capat.
06:09
OK, give them a round of applause as they come up.
146
357000
2000
Bine, aplaudati-i in timp ce urca.
06:11
You might want to use the stairs, there.
147

Poate doresti sa folosesti scarile de acolo.
06:13

Now, it's very important for everybody here to realize

Este foarte important ca toata lumea de aici sa stie
06:18
I haven't set anything up with you guys.
150
366000
2000
ca nu am aranjat nimic cu voi dinainte.
06:20
You don't know what's about to happen. Is that agreed?
151
368000
1000
Nu stiti ce urmeaza sa se intample. Sunteti de acord?
06:21
OK, would you mind just standing over here for a moment?
152
369000
2000
Bine, va deranjeaza daca stati aici pentru o clipa?

Poti sa stai aici, asa va fi mai usor.

I want you to be aware of the sensations,

Vreau sa fiti constienti de senzatiile din jur

07:11
From this point onwards, close your eyes,

Din acest moment, inchideti ochii,

08:05
I never touched you.
208
473000
1000
Eu nu te-am atins deloc.
08:06
I just touched his back, and I just touched his arm.
209
474000
3000
Am atins spatele lui si i-am atins si bratul.
08:09
A voodoo experiment.
210
477000
2000
Un experiment voodoo.
08:11
(Laughter)
211
479000
4000
(Rasete)
08:15
Yeah, I walk around nightclubs all night like this.
212

Da, merg prin cluburi noaptea facand asta.
08:17
(Laughter)
213
485000

(Rasete)
08:20
You just take a seat over here for a second.
214
488000
2000
Ia loc pe scaun aici pentru un moment.
08:22
I'm going to use you again, in a moment.
215

Te voi folosi din nou, intr-o clipa.
08:24
And can you take a seat right over here for me, if you don't mind.
216

Poti lua un loc aici, daca nu te deranjeaza.

KB: OK, take a seat. Excellent, OK.
219
496000

08:31
Now, what I want you to do is look directly at me, OK,
220
499000
3000
Acum, ce vreau este ca tu sa te uiti direct la mine, bine.
08:34
just take a deep breath in through your nose,
221
502000
2000
inspira adanc prin nas.
08:36
letting it out through your mouth, and relax.
222
504000
2000
lasa aerul sa iasa prin gura si relaxeaza-te.
08:38
Allow your eyes to close,
223
506000
2000
Permite ochilor tai sa se inchida,
08:40
on five, four, three, two, one.
224
508000
2000
la cinci, patru, trei, doi, unu --
08:42
Close your eyes right now.
225
510000
2000
inchide ochii chiar acum.
08:44
OK, now, I'm not hypnotizing you,
226
512000
2000
Bine, acum, nu te voi hipnotiza,
08:46
I'm merely placing you in a heightened state of synchronicity,
227
514000
2000
Doar te pun intr-o stare avansata de sincronizare.
08:48
so our minds are along the same lines.
228
516000
3000
astfel incat mintile noastre sa fie pozitionate pe aceeasi linie.
08:51
And as you sink and drift and float
229
519000
2000
Si in timp ce te adancesti, plutesti si te lasi purtat
08:53
into this relaxed state of mind,
230
521000
2000
in aceasta stare de relaxare,
08:55
I'm going to take your left hand, and just place it up here.
231
523000
3000
iti voi lua mana stanga si o voi pune aici
08:58
And I want you to hold it there, just for a moment,
232
526000
2000
Si vreau sa o tii asa, pentru o clipa
09:00
and I only want you to allow your hand
233
528000
2000
si vreau sa permiti mainii tale
09:02
to sink and drift and float back to the tabletop
234
530000
2000
sa se adanceasca si sa pluteasca inapoi spre masa
09:04
at the same rate and speed
235
532000
2000
cu aceeasi viteza
09:06
as you drift and float into this relaxed state of awareness,
236
534000
3000
cu care te-ai adancit si ai plutit spre aceasta stare relaxanta,
09:09
and allow it to go all the way down to the tabletop.
237
537000
3000
si perminte-i sa se duca inapoi spre masa.
09:12
That's it, all the way down,
238
540000
1000
Asa, pana jos,
09:13
all the way down, all the way down,
239
541000
2000
jos pana la capat, pana jos.
09:15
and further, and further, and further,
240
543000
2000
si mai mult si mai mult si mai mult
09:17
and further, and further and further.
241
545000
2000
si mai mult si mai mult si mai mult
09:19
Excellent.
242
547000
1000
Excelent.
09:20
I want you to allow your hand to stick firmly to the tabletop.
243
548000
2000
Vreau sa permiti mainii tale sa se lipeasca de masa.
09:22
OK, now, allow it to stay there.
244
550000
2000
Bine, acum, tine-o asa.
09:24
OK, now, in a moment, you'll feel a certain pressure, OK,
245
552000
3000
Bine, intr-o clipa vei simti o anumita presiune. In regula,
09:27
and I want you to be aware of the pressure.
246
555000
2000
si vreau ca tu sa fii constient de aceasta presiune.
09:33
Just be aware of the pressure.
247
561000
2000
Te rog sa fii constient de presiune.
09:36
And I only want you to allow your hand
248
564000
2000
Si vreau sa permiti mainii tale
09:38
to float slowly back up from the tabletop as you feel the pressure release,
249
566000
4000
sa pluteasca incet inapoi in sus de pe masa in timp ce simti eliberarea de presiune,
09:42
but only when you feel the pressure release.
250
570000
2000
dar doar dupa ce simti eliberarea de presiune.
09:44
Do you understand? Just answer yes or no.
251
572000

Intelegi? Raspunde cu da sau nu.

OK, and only when you feel the pressure go back,

584000

Bine, si doar cand simti din nou presiunea,
09:58
I want you to allow your hand to slowly drift back to the tabletop,
256
586000
2000
vreau sa permiti mainii sa coboare usor spre masa.
10:00
but only when you feel the pressure.
257
588000
2000
dar doar cand simti presiunea.
10:07
(Laughter)
258
595000
2000
(Rasete)
10:09
OK, that was wonderfully done. Let's try it again.
259
597000
2000
In regula, ai facut foarte bine. Hai sa mai incercam inca o data.
10:21
Excellent. Now that you've got the idea,
260
609000
2000
Excelent. Acum ca ai inteles,
10:23
let's try something even more interesting.
261
611000
2000
sa incercam ceva mai interesant.
10:25
Allow it to stick firmly to the tabletop, keep your eyes closed.
262
613000
2000
Permite mainii tale sa se lipeasca de suprafata mesei, tine ochii inchisi.
10:27
Can you stand up?
263
615000
2000
Poti sa te ridici?
10:29
OK, just stand, stage forward.
264
617000
2000
Bine, ridica-te si stai cu fata catre scena.
10:31
I want you to point directly at his forehead, OK.
265
619000
4000
Vreau sa indici direct catre fruntea lui. In regula.
10:35
Imagine a connection between you and him.
266
623000
3000
Imagineaza-ti o conexiune intre tine si el,
10:38
Only when you want the pressure to be released,
267
626000
2000
si doar atunci cand vrei ca presiunea sa fie eliberata,
10:40
make an upward gesture, like this,
268
628000
2000
fa o miscare ascendenta, asa.
10:42
but only when you want the pressure to be released.
269
630000
2000
dar doar dupa ce vrei ca presiunea sa fie eliberata.
10:44
You can wait as long as you want,
270
632000
2000
Poti sa astepti cat de mult doresti,
10:46
but only when you want the pressure released.
271
634000
2000
dar doar atunci cand vrei ca presiunea sa fie eliberata.
10:55
OK, let's try it again.
272
643000
1000
Bine. Hai sa mai incercam inca o data.
10:56
OK, now, imagine the connection, OK.
273
644000
3000
Bine, acum imagineaza-ti conexiunea. Bine.
10:59
Point directly at his forehead.
274
647000
2000
Indica direct spre fruntea lui,
11:01
Only when you want the pressure released, we'll try it again.
275
649000
2000
doar cand vrei ca presiunea sa fie eliberata, vom incerca din nou.
11:07
OK, it worked that time, excellent.
276
655000
2000
Bine, a mers de data aceasta, excelent.
11:09
And hold it there, hold it there, both of you, hold it there.
277
657000
2000
Continuati sa tineti asa, tineti asa, amandoi, ramaneti asa,
11:11
Only when you want the pressure to go back, make a downward gesture.
278
659000
3000
si numai cand vrei ca presiunea sa revina, fa o miscare descendenta.
11:14
You can wait as long as you want.
279
662000
2000
Poti astepta cat de mult doresti.
11:18
You did it pretty quickly, but it went down, OK.
280
666000
3000
Ai facut-o destul de repede, dar a coborat. Bine.
11:22
Now, I want you to be aware that in a moment,
281
670000
2000
Acum, vreau sa fii constient ca intr-o clipa,
11:24
when I snap my fingers, your eyes will open, again.
282
672000
2000
cand voi pocni degetele, vei deschide ochii, din nou.
11:26
It's OK to remember to forget, or forget to remember what happened.
283
674000
3000
Este normal sa iti aduci aminte sa uiti sau sa uiti sa iti aduci aminte de ce s-a intamplat.
11:29
Most people ask you, "What the hell just happened up here?"
284
677000
3000
Majoritatea oamenilor te vor intreaba ce naiba s-a intamplat aici?
11:32
But it's OK that even though you're not hypnotized,
285
680000
2000
Dar este normal ca, chiar daca nu esti hipnotizat,
11:34
you will forget everything that happened.
286
682000
2000
sa uiti tot ce s-a intamplat.
11:36
(Laughter)
287
684000
1000
(Rasete)
11:37
On five, four, three, two, one -- open your eyes, wide awake.
288
685000
3000
LA cinci, patru, trei, doi, unu -- deschide ochii, foarte treaz.
11:40
Give them a round of applause,

Va rog sa ii oferiti un ropot de aplauze.
11:42

290
690000

11:44
(Applause)

OK, you can go back.

Bine, acum te poti intoarce.

Odata, am vazut un film care se numea "Zeii sunt nebuni."
11:52
Has anybody here seen that film? Yeah.
294
700000
2000
A vazut cineva filmul acela? Da, da, da.
11:54
(Applause)
295
702000

(Aplauze)
11:55
Do you remember when they threw the Coke bottle out of the airplane,
296
703000
2000
Va mai aduceti aminte cand au aruncat sticla de cola din avion,
11:57
and it landed on the ground, and it didn't break?
297
705000
2000
si a cazut pe pamant dar nu s-a spart?
11:59
Now, see, that's because Coke bottles are solid.
298
707000
2000
Asta e din cauza ca sticlele de cola sunt rezistente.
12:01
It's nearly impossible to break a Coke bottle.
299
709000
4000
Este aproape imposibil sa spargi o sticla de cola.
12:05
Do you want to try it?
300
713000
2000
Vrei sa incerci?
12:08
Good job.
301
716000
2000
Foarte bine.
12:10
(Laughter)
302
718000
1000
(Rasete)
12:11
She's not taking any chances.
303
719000
2000
Nu vrea sa riste.
12:13
You see, psychokinesis is the paranormal influence
304
721000
2000
Vedeti, telechinezia este influenta paranormala
12:15
of the mind on physical events and processes.
305
723000
2000
a mintii asupra evenimentelor si proceselor fizice.
12:18
For some magicians or mentalists,
306
726000
2000
Pentru unii magicieni sau iluzionisti
12:20
sometimes the spoon will bend or melt, sometimes it will not.
307
728000
4000
uneori lingura se va indoi sau se va topi, iar uneori nu se va intampla asa.
12:24
Sometimes the object will slide across the table, sometimes it will not.
308
732000
3000
Uneori obiectul va aluneca de-a lungul mesei, uneori nu
12:27
It depends on how much energy you have that day,
309
735000
2000
Totul depinde de energia pe care o ai in acea zi,
12:29
so on and so forth.
310
737000
1000
si asa mai departe.
12:30
We're going to try an experiment in psychokinesis, right now.
311
738000
2000
Vom incerca un experiment in telechinezie, chiar acum.
12:32
Come right over here, next to me.
312
740000
2000
Vino chiar aici, langa mine.
12:34
Excellent.
313
742000
1000
Excelent.
12:35
Now, have a look at the Coke bottle.
314
743000
2000
Acum, uita-te la sticla de cola.
12:37
Make sure it is solid, there's only one hole, and it's a normal Coke bottle.
315
745000
3000
Asigura-te ca este rezistenta, are o singura gaura si este o sticla normal de cola.
12:40
And you can whack it against the table, if you want.
316
748000
2000
Poti sa o lovesti de masa, daca vrei
12:42
Be careful.
317
750000
2000
Ai grija.
12:44
Even though it's solid, I'm standing away.
318
752000
2000
Chiar daca e rezistenta, stau departe.
12:46
OK, I want you to pinch right here with two fingers and your thumb.
319
754000
3000
Bine. Vreau sa prinzi aici cu doua degete si degetul cel mare.
12:49
Excellent.
320
757000
1000
Excelent.
12:50
Now, I've got a shard of glass here, OK.
321
758000
2000
Acum, eu am un ciob de sticla aici. Bine.
12:52
I want you to examine the shard of glass.
322
760000
2000
Vreau sa verifici acest ciob de sticla.
12:54
Be careful, because it is sharp. Just hold on to it for a moment.
323
762000
2000
Ai grija, pentru ca e ascutit. Tine-l putin pentru moment.
12:56
Now, hold it out here.
324
764000
2000
Acum, tine-l aici.
12:58
I want you to imagine, right now,
325
766000
2000
Vreau sa iti imaginei, chiar acum,
13:00
a broken relationship from many years ago.
326
768000
2000
o relatie esuata cu multi ani in urma.
13:02
I want you to imagine all the negative energy
327
770000
3000
Vreau sa iti imaginezi toata energia negativa
13:05
from that broken relationship, from that guy,
328
773000
2000
din acea relatie esuata, de la tipul ala,
13:07
being imparted into the broken piece of glass,
329
775000
3000
si atribui-o acestui ciob de sticla,
13:10
which will represent him, OK.
330
778000
2000
care il reprezinta. Bine.
13:12
But I want you to take this very seriously.
331
780000
2000
Dar vreau sa iei asta foarte in serios.
13:14
Stare at the glass, ignore everybody right here.
332
782000
2000
Priveste fix la sticla, ignora pe toata lumea de aici.
13:16
In a moment, you'll feel a certain sensation, OK,
333
784000
3000
Intr-o clipa vei simti o anumita senzatie. Bine.
13:19
and when you feel that sensation,
334
787000
2000
Si cand vei simti acea senzatie,
13:21
I want you to drop the piece of glass into the bottle.
335
789000
3000
vreau sa dai drumul la ciob in sticla de cola.
13:24
Think of that guy, that ba -- that guy.
336
792000
5000
Gandeste-te la tipul ala, la acel nem -- acel tip
13:29
(Laughter)
337
797000
1000
(Rasete)
13:30
I'm trying to be good here.
338
798000
1000
Incerc sa ma comport cum trebuie.
13:31
OK, and when you feel the sensation --
339
799000
2000
Bine. Acum cand vei avea acea senzatie --
13:33
it might take a while -- drop it into the glass.
340
801000
3000
s-ar putea sa ia ceva timp - da drumul la ciob in sticla.
13:48
OK, drop it in.
341
816000
1000
Bine. Da-i drumul.
13:50
Now, imagine all that negative energy in there.
342
818000
2000
Imagineaza-ti toata energia negativa de acolo.
13:52
Imagine his name and imagine him inside the glass.
343
820000
2000
Imagineaza-ti numele lui, imaginea lui in interiorul sticlei.
13:54
And I want you to release that negative energy
344
822000
2000
Si as vrea sa eliberezi energia negativa,
13:56
by shaking it from side to side.
345
824000
2000
scuturand sticla.
13:59
(Laughter)
346
827000
4000
(Rasete)
14:03
That was a lot of negative energy, built up in there.
347
831000
2000
A fost multa energie negativa acumulata acolo.
14:05
(Laughter)
348
833000
1000
(Rasete)
14:06
(Applause)
349
834000
5000
(Aplauze)
14:11
I also want you to think of his name. Look at me and think of his name.
350
839000
2000
Vreau de asemenea sa te gandesti la numele lui. Uita-te la mine si gandeste-te la numele lui.
14:13
Have you got his name?
351
841000
1000
Te-ai gandit la numele lui?
14:14
OK, think of how many letters in the title of his name.
352
842000
2000
Bine. Gandeste-te cate litere are numele lui.
14:16
Think about how many letters in the title.
353
844000
2000
Gandeste-te cate litere are numele lui.
14:18
There's five letters in the title.
354
846000
2000
Este format din cinci litere numele lui.
14:20
You didn't react to that, so it's four letters in the title.
355
848000
2000
Nu ai reactionat la asta, deci are patru litere numele.
14:22
Think of one of the letters in the title.
356
850000
1000
Gandeste-te la una din litere.
14:23
Think of one of the letters.
357
851000
1000
Gandeste-te la una din litere.
14:24
There's a K in his name, there is a K.
358
852000
2000
Este un "K" in nume, este un "K"
14:26
See the way I knew that, because my name starts with a K also,
359
854000
2000
Stii cum am stiut asta? Pentru ca numele meu incepe tot cu "K",
14:28
but his name doesn't start with a K, it starts with an M.
360
856000
2000
dar numele lui nu incepe cu "K", incepe cu "M"
14:30
Tell Mike I said hello, the next time you see him.
361
858000
3000
Spune-i lui Mike ca il salut, data viitoare cand il vezi.
14:33
Was that his name?
362
861000
1000
Asta era numele lui, nu?
14:34
Nicole: Mm-hmm.
363
862000
1000
Nicole: Mm-hmm.
14:35
KB: OK, give her a round of applause.

I've got one more thing to share with you right now.
368
878000
3000
Mai am un lucru sa va arat.
14:53
Actually, Chris, I was going to pick you for this,
369
881000
2000
De fapt, Chris, aveam de gand sa te aleg pe tine pentru asta
14:55
but instead of picking you, can you hop up here
370
883000
2000
dar in loc sa te aleg pe tine, poti sa vi aici
14:57
and pick a victim for this next experiment?
371
885000
3000
si sa alegi tu o victima pentru urmatorul experiment?
15:00
And it should be a male victim, that's the only thing.
372
888000
2000
Si trebuie sa fie un barbat, acesta este singurul lucru.
15:02
Chris Anderson: Oh, OK.
373
890000

Chris Anderson: Aha. Bine.
15:04
KB: I was going to use you for this,

15:11
and for selecting Michael Mercil to come and talk to us -- Steve Jurvetson.

15:24
Now, Steve -- oh, you can check underneath.
383
912000
3000
Acum, Steve -- oh, poti sa verifici dedesubt.
15:27
Go ahead, I've no fancy assistants underneath there.
384
915000
4000
Te rog, nu am asistenti profesionisti dedesubt, pe acolo.
15:31
They just, they insist that because I was a magician,
385
919000
2000
Ei au insistat, au tot insistat ca pentru ca sunt iluzionist,
15:33
put a nice, black tablecloth on.
386
921000
2000
sa pun o fata de masa neagra deasupra.
15:35
There you are, OK.
387
923000

Aici esti. Bine.
15:37
(Laughter)
388
925000
1000
(Rasete)
15:38
I've got four wooden plinths here, Steve.
389
926000
2000
Steve, am patru plinte din lemn aici.
15:40
One, two, three and four.
390
928000
3000
Una, doua, trei si patru.
15:43
Now, they're all the exact same except this one
391
931000
2000
Toate sunt exact la fel cu exceptia uneia
15:45
obviously has a stainless steel spike sticking out of it.
392
933000
2000
care evident are un varf ascutit metalic pe ea.
15:47
I want you to examine it, and make sure it's solid.
393
935000
3000
Vreau sa o verifici si sa te asiguri ca e rezistenta.
15:52
Happy?
394
940000
2000
Bucuros?
15:54
Steve Jurvetson: Mmm, yes.
395
942000
1000
Steve Jurvetson: Mmm, da.
15:55
KB: OK. Now, Steve, I'm going to stand in front of the table,
396
943000
4000
KB: Bine. Acum, Steve, voi sta in fata mesei.
15:59
OK. When I stand in front of the table,
397
947000
2000
Bine. In timp ce eu stau in fata mesei,
16:01
I want you to put the cups on the plinths, like this,
398
949000
2000
vreau sa pui paharele pe plinte, asa
16:03
in any order you want, and then mix them all up,
399
951000
2000
in orice ordine doresti si amesteca-le bine pe toate,
16:05
so nobody has any idea where the spike is, all right?
400
953000
3000
astfel incat nimeni din public sa nu stie unde este varful ascutit, bine?
16:08
SJ: No one in the audience?
401
956000

SJ: Nimeni din public?
16:10
KB: No one in the audience. And just to help you out,
402
958000
2000

16:12
I'll block them from view, so nobody can see what you're doing.
403
960000
2000
nu ii voi lasa sa se uite, astfel incat nimeni sa nu vada ce faci.
16:14
I'll also look away. So, go ahead and mix them up, now.
404
962000
2000
Si eu ma voi uita in alta parte, asa ca da-i drumul, amesteca-le acum.
16:17
OK, and tell me when you're done.
405
965000
2000
Bine. Spune-mi cand termini.
16:19

16:33
oh, we've got one here, we've got one here.

oh, avem unul aici, avem unul aici.
16:39
(Applause)

So, all right, we'll leave them like that.
412
990000
2000
Deci, in regula, le vom lasa asa.
16:44
(Laughter)
413
992000
2000

16:46
I'm going to have the last laugh, though.
414
994000

Eu voi fi insa cel din urma care o sa rada.
16:47
(Laughter)
415
995000
3000
(Rasete)
16:50
Now, Steve, you know where the spike is,
416
998000
3000
Acum, Steve, tu stii unde este varful ascutit,
16:53
but nobody else, does? Correct?
417
1001000
2000
dar nimeni altcineva nu stie. Corect?
16:55
But I don't want you to know either, so swivel around on your chair.
418
1003000
3000
Dar nu vreau sa sti nici tu, asa ca intoarce-te cu scaunul.
16:59
They'll keep an eye on me to make sure I don't do anything funny.
419
1007000
3000
Vor sta ei cu ochii pe mine sa se asigure ca nu fac nimic dubios,
17:02
No, stay around, OK.
420
1010000
2000
Stai aici. Bine.
17:10
Now, Steve, look back.
421
1018000
2000
Acum, Steve, uita-te inapoi.
17:12
So, now you don't know where the spike is,
422
1020000
2000
Acum, nu stii nici tu unde este varful ascutit
17:14
and I don't know where it is either, OK.
423
1022000
2000
si nu stiu nici eu unde este. Bine.
17:16
Now, is there any way to see through this blindfold?
424
1024000
3000
Exista vreo modalitate prin care sa vezi legat la ochi cu asta?
17:19

Now, I'm going to put on the blindfold.
431
1034000

Acum, ma voi lega la ochi.
17:27
Don't stack them up, OK.
432
1035000
2000
Nu le aseza unul peste altul. Bine.
17:29
Give them an extra mix up.
433
1037000
2000
Mai amesteca-le inca o data.
17:31
Don't move the cups, because I don't want anybody to see where the spike is,
434
1039000
2000
Nu misca paharele, deoarece nu vreau sa vada nimeni unde este asezat varful ascutit,
17:33
but give the plinths an extra mix up,

1041000

17:36
I'll put the blindfold on.

Give them an extra mix up.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Keith Barry - MagicianThink of Keith Barry as a hacker of the human brain -- writing routines that exploit its bugs and loopholes, and offering a revealing look at the software between our ears.
Why you should listen
As Arthur C. Clarke told us, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." So think of Keith Barry as a technologist, an elite software engineer of the human brain. Witty and direct, he celebrates human cleverness even while he's hacking it.
Barry's repertoire ranges from outrageous stunts -- driving a car at full speed blindfolded -- to mind control, including hypnosis and mindreading. The Irish magician's relaxed style has made him an audience favorite worldwide, both in live shows and on his European television series, Close Encounters with Keith Barry, which aired in 28 countries. He's had specials on MTV and CBS, and tried his hand at acting as a murder suspect on CSI: Miami. There are rumors of a Las Vegas residency later in 2008.
