Liam Payne makes magic happen.

Who knew One Direction's Liam Payne was a regular David Copperfield?? As you may know, Liam and his 1D bros have been super busy prepping for their new album, Take Me Home, and prepping for their upcoming tour. So, needing a break, they hit up da clurb for some much-needed R&R. And much-needed magic.

We're not exactly sure what prompted Liam to whip out his deck of cards (or why he's carrying a deck of cards to the club in the first place), but we're going with it, because somehow, magic happened. Because not only is Liam made of magic, but he also does magic, too.

In fact, it's my professional opinion that these photos might improve the lives of dorky, card-playing bros worldwide! All these dudes are like, "Look! Now a totally hot and famous guy also does card tricks! Maybe we can finally score some chicks too?" Either way, Liam Payne exploring his inner Houdini is as spectacular as David Blaine submerged in a dunk tank for a year, or whatever he did that one time. Maybe next, Liam will graduate to full-scale levitation, telepathy, or mind-reading? Liam! What are we thinking right now? (Hint: It rhymes with "carry me.")
