That's Your Magician: Devlin
Let me just say, before Devlin takes you on a rockin' journey to a land of WONDER, that this video starts off very strong, duh, but it is not until the 1:40 mark that things really get going. DON'T skip ahead, just get ready for the mind explosion.
BOOM! For his next trick, Devlin is going to pull a five dollar bill from his mom's purse and use it to buy some ramen! And people say that you can't change the world by performing hackneyed magic tricks in red leather pants from a darkened corner of your unfinished basement?! HA! (Via BuzzFeed.)

P.........................(wait for it, wait for it)..............................AH!
Score = 12
I think those pants are actually fruit roll-up.
Score = 36
I think one of the best parts was that instead of using rock classics, he used MIDI versions of rock classics, that he may have even made himself. THAT'S dedication.
Score = 21
Hands down the best part of the video. You have to admit, MIDI versions of classic rock songs really ramp up the performance. It makes everything at least 2 1/2 times more magical!
Score = 13
I don't think I'll be able to listen to "Welcome to the Jungle" again unless it could easily accompany a level in a Commander Keen game.
Score = 5
I love his face when he switches to the "Another One Bites the Dust" MIDI, as if to say, "Now we're REALLY gonna do some tricks".
Score = 18
Where was "The Final Countdown"? Its hard to be taken seriously as a hack magician without it.
Score = 13
It may very well be possible that he produced the original gameplay music for Road Rash. He was like "Get me some Soundgarden for the cut scenes, and you just leave the gameplay tunes to me and ol' CASIO here."
Score = 1
i'd take him more seriously if he'd wear a shirt
Score = 0
Gotta love the chest zoom/open scene transition. BTW Gabe, he probably refers to this as an illusion. A trick is something a whore does for money...
Score = 25
Yeah, best outro of all time. Or should I say outie?
Score = 2
Or candy!
Score = 9
High five!
Score = 3
Oh my God. Tell me those are flesh-colored panels on those pants and not cut-outs.
Score = 19
Yeah, USA #1! Tear up Osama! Are we sure this isn't An American Patriot? I hope this is the new job he says he has!
Score = 24
This is how we do it works for this video as well.
Score = 9
and/or never scared
Score = 0
He should have finished with drinking a big glass a milk and throwing up on Tonetta777.
Score = 4
Total master of illusion over here, like the time I met David Copperfield.
Score = 4
I'm still waiting for his dignity to reappear.
Score = 8
He's a real-life GOB Bluth.
Score = 3

Illusions Gabe, tricks are something a whore does for money

large-print chinese menu that is also scarf drawer?! i've been wanting one of those for years and years and years
Score = 15
I'm not entirely sure that's not Patton Oswalt.
Score = 2
The mullet wig is a nice touch!
Score = 3
That's no wig my friend. That is real hair, and it is totally badass.
Score = 4
Yea thats my magician! I hired him for my son's birhtday/halloween party last week
Score = 12
This is one of the most amazing magic acts ever, because you don't even need the magic to appreciate how much it rocks, like when I met former cable news anchor Laurie Dhue at my high school reunion.
Score = 6
I really thought this was going to end with the wig catching fire as he tried to light the Osama bits.
Score = 2
Delvin's "General interests" on MySpace:
Magic, Heavy Metal.... If I wasn't given the gift of magic... Definitely would have Rocked out!! My old band mates call me up every day wanting to have a session. Shout out to SYPDER..."Soon Bro!"
Score = 13
The Photobucket Account Inactive background adds a touch of magic.
Score = 6
also, can someone make me one of those little video gif things of the thumbs-away move he does to convince us that this is not pro-Osama propaganda? that or maybe the shake weight action he throws out there while waiting for Osama to cook? This video has about 100 good opportunities for those; if only I knew how.
Score = 9
that or maybe the shake weight action he throws out there while waiting for Osama to cook?
Cosign!
Score = 2
It's about time someone decided to combine magic, with strip dancing!
Score = 1
He's got the Jack Black choreography down to a T.
Score = 3
I'll bet they showed this at a local auditorium and everyone thought it was funny and he got mad. Just like in Hot Rod.
Score = 4
I like to think he started trying that Osama trick right after 9/11 and has just now perfected it. He's ready to bring it to the people but are the people ready for it? (No.)
Score = 6
...That's when I realized, Alex, I didn't have to choose between my dual passions of magic and rocking out, and a new career was born.
Score = 10
You'll excuse me. I have to go to my "list of things I'd like to see in my lifetime" and cross off "a video of a Tommy Wiseau lookalike doing store-bought magic tricks to the accompaniment of synthesized-klezmer renditions of '80s hair-rock classics."
Score = 3
You guys are so mean. It's not easy being the only gay in the village.
Score = 6
I'm just glad to learn the guy who did the theme to Super Tecmo Bowl is still getting work.
Score = 1
His overtly sexual creepiness reminds me of that time I met Criss Angel in a Last Vegas bathroom. He borrowed my eyeliner, and asked me for a $20 bill. I thought he would make it disappear- but he just ran out of the bathroom screaming "I just mindfreaked you!"
Score = 5
Devlin used all my ring tones from 1997 to help make this video.
Score = 0
"Excuse me sir, but why are you using the library printer to make dozens of pictures of Osama Bin Laden?"
"Magic."
Score = 8
could you direct me to a video of the Kermit w/teeth sketch? I remember thinking it was so funny (but a bit creepy) when I was a kid. But I don't remember much else about it.
Score = 0
never mind! Found it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxhQQKrfzSo (old kids programming was so much funnier than it is now)
Score = 0
No wonder we can't find Bin Laden. Apparently he's a shapeshifter.
Score = 0
The moobs... they burn my eyes!
Score = 0
You wouldn't think the CIA would post a secret weapon like this out in the open.
Score = 2
Via his MySpace: "Devlin knew from a young age that he was destined for more than just inheriting the family farm." Aim for the stars, buddy.
Score = 1
The Magician's Alliance should watch this rising star!
Score = 0
he has an improbably positive body image. like, the opposite of what i have.
"there is no reason i should not wear this outfit." - this guy
"do i look fat in the burkha?" - me
Score = 1
And I thought I was a terrible hack.
