When it comes to street magic, David Blaine is the front runner.  In this trick, misdirection, which he uses to great effect makes this such a funny trick.  What makes street magic so much fun is that you are not just the audience, but an active member of the trick.  The proximity of been tricked at such close quarters is very appealing to people and it feels far more real than watching someone on a stage.

Once you are aware of what he is doing, it is really easy to see, but without any idea of what the real trick is, you can get caught up in the misdirection.
