On Thursday the New York Post published a video showcasing the subway routine of magician Dan White, the house magician at the NoMad Hotel who takes his show on the road, or, more specifically, the tracks, on the weekdays.

In the video, White wows two giggling straphangers with an admittedly sweet trick involving a wandering Sharpie mark and a card that appears on the outside of the subway car window as the train pulls into the station at the end of his schtick.

White has sound magician credentials, which include consulting on Kanye West's YEEZUS tour.

How does a magician performing a magic trick on the subway compare to a "showtime" performance, panhandlers or a musical performance? Tell us in the comments.
