Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Now I got it. The most recent vid is of the article 12 skills in 12 months. I didn't watch it, and at face value it looked like it was only about chess. My apologies.
Np.
The "12 skills" article may not have been directly written from that video, but the "2008" article...

I might get backlash for this, but I'm ready. I wasn't sure where to post this but guess it fits in the strange category. My problem is not with what everyone decides to do with their lives, but rather with being a public image and gathering so much support from the frum community.

He previously made a video with a girl in bikini that was over the limit and unnecessary (I was completely fine when he was high-fiving people and dancing in the streets). The video was deleted from YouTube after getting more dislikes than likes and many negative comments, but it is still up on Facebook where the comments are mostly positive (sad that only pressure can work).

The only card you can see is the 7H  I played in slow motion and picked another card.

+1. Doesn't even need to be slowed down if you pay close enough attention. And the rest of the 'shtick' was optical illusions - photography/videography tricks. Not sure what that has to do with a mentalist.

Still not sure why a bunch of optical illusions needed to be tied in to a mentalist.

Don't know which actually came first, but I remember this one from a while ago:

Looks intentional. The second for sure. I think it was posted upthread.

P.S. The second one looks like it's in a Jewish setting.
