This incredible footage captures the ability of one talented magician who performs his tricks to a very high standard despite not having any hands.

Based in Toronto, Mahdi Gilbert has been performing magic for a number of years with an obvious disability that could have held him back.

But unwilling to let it get in his way, Mahdi has practised relentlessly and has now mastered tricks most people in the world would struggle with.

Showcasing his talent, the magician was captured on camera spreading a deck of cards out in front of him before flipping them over.

He then stops midway through the process and holds the cards still so that half the pack is facing up and the other half down.

Mahdi later flips the pack up onto his arm before he is then filmed cutting the deck and riffling the cards.

The short video concludes with Mahdi laying out the cards on his arm before turning them over and throwing them behind his head.

He then makes a card rotate with ease while moving it across a window pane.

The clip was recently posted to YouTube where it received a number of comments.

One person wrote: 'His is amazing well done Mahdi. In my opinion, your card skills exceed any others, purely because you must have practised so so much to get to your current level.'
