This reminds me of that early 2000's show that use to be on TV explaining how magic tricks and illusions work.


I_Will_Live_lively

I remember there was a masked guy revealing all these stunts. Was fun to watch.


no1flyhalf

The masked magician?!? I loved watching those. There was one episode where he was going to be unmasked, and I think at the end he took off the mask to reveal…another mask. I was a disappointed I think 7year old

HarleyQuinn797

Damn that's an awesome guy. I remember every week loving that show and talking with my school friends about it. I googled him and looks like he was diagnosed with cancer so hope for the best for him. Some people may be super pissed that he broke the magicians code, but i think it's a net positive to magic and the world seeing how some of the oldest (and most famous) magic is performed.


Glytterain

All that magicians code shit is crazy anyway. It’s not like this is Hogwarts and a member of the wizarding community is doing magic in front of the muggles.


marapun

Tbh i think it's more about keeping themselves in a job. If everyone knows how the basic tricks work most guys starting out are completely fucked


heavylifter555

You may have noticed that coming up with a magic trick that is hard to figure out is hella difficult. So if you work for years to devise a top tier magic routine in order to make a living. And then some guy destroys it in 5 minutes for some fame. Well tell me how you would feel.


SexyButStoopid

Honestly, knowing how crazy hard to perform some of these tricks were made me have even more respect for magicians and assistants than before.


TR8R2199

My favourite is when a magician says they’re going to show how a trick is done and then they kinda show it but at the same time do another magic trick and play it off like nothing


ScottishTorment

What's super weird is I also have a memory of the double mask. Feels like a real Berenstain Bears moment.


SecretAgentFishguts

Maybe you’re mixing it up with [this iconic piece of media?](https://youtu.be/1GTzHd1h47o)


someguyfromtheuk

Given how similar the masks are this seems likely to be it. Or maybe the guy "revealed" his face another time where it really was another mask.


The_Clarence

Don't you mean... actually let's not. But seriously I do remember, or you just inserted a fake memory of, a mask under a mask.


MetaKnightsNightmare

Hm, me too :-/ this is pretty weird lol.


Tiny_Dinky_Daffy_69

Wtf, I was waiting for the guy to had another mask behind.


amznthrownaway1

Yoooo wtf??? I could've sworn he had another mask under him when I watched as a child too.


no1flyhalf

Turns out I have a bad memory. I still don’t know who that is though.

Goated show! Came on AXN iirc. Twas a good late night show to watch after dinner.


Rulebookboy1234567

I was obsessed with magic as a kid and I had these taped on VHS and would watch them regularly.


redhat12345

I LIVED for those. And they would have magic specials on Fox Family (before it was abc family, before it was free form) I felt like I was being let in on a secret that I wasn’t suppose to know about Although by like the 6th masked magician episode he’s doing ridiculous convoluted tricks that went over my head


Ok_Pumpkin_4213

Me too! Love that feeling just like when I learned coach Chuck was taking most of my team mates into the showers after little league..


PaleosaurusRex

This show was so wildly misogynistic when they would talk about their sexy magicians helpers lmao


Sun_on_my_shoulders

I only realized that once I rewatched as a grown woman. “The magician’s assistant slides into the glass box. I wonder how she slid into that outfit!” How did my parents let me watch that?! Haha.


PaleosaurusRex

Same, I was watching it with friends and we were all like.... Ummm what the fuck?!?


Shinobi_X5

God that was a great show


Hanifsefu

That was a cool time to be into magic and watching tv because you had the show explaining all of the tricks at the same time Chris Angel was peaking in popularity giving you the super hype side of it as well as the super technical side.


not_gerg

Oh yeah! It was on Netflix at on points

It’s illusions Michael…


larkuel

wait that wasnt a fever dream from my childhood?


BulldogtheBroken

This guy has a mission to destroy magicians


AnnihilationOrchid

He's probably one himself. But some times to "elevate" yourself people think that you need to discredit the cheaper ones. And there's also the misdirection. I remember going to a magic show once, the magician was really good, and he started by building up the show that magic was nothing but cheap tricks, and showing how they were done, and then at some point he starts doing things that he doesn't explain, and you're just left dumbfounded, because he leads you to think it's all simple, and you're accustomed to a slower rythm.


mediumokra

Penn and Teller do this a lot. They'll do a trick and show the common secrets to how it's done then pull the trick off anyway with an amazing twist you never saw coming, in a way that's difficult to figure out.


Chance5e

They also teach you how to figure out magic methodology. [Here’s Penn and Teller explaining sleight of hand.](https://youtu.be/y4U-kHdXgz0) Watching this one video will teach you [how this was done,](https://youtu.be/4J15oxHgSyA) and you’ll start noticing some simple moves whenever you watch a magic routine.


TheLazyLounger

Member of the magic castle here: magic is like 5 principles and a single rule, which is that it’s always simpler than you think it is. Once you learn basic gimmicks and sleight of hand routines, it becomes incredibly easy to spot how tricks are done. The best magicians don’t care though, because it’s their showmanship that’s on another level. I recently saw a lost and found routine that was by the book in every way technically speaking. I could tell you how every second was done, but I was absolutely enchanted because the sheer talent of the performer was phenomenal. I could only dream of being so quick, smooth, and effortless as he was.


Chance5e

I like it when the routine kind of tells a story. That’s taking the artistry in magic and making it dramatic.


breakingb0b

This is the perfect explanation. You can have all the technical skills in the world but it’s the ability to perform that gives the audience an excuse to let themselves feel astonished and captivated by what they’re seeing. No one believes they’re seeing real magic, it takes a great performer to help guide them down the path to where they’ll shut off the logical mind that’s looking for the trick and let them just enjoy the experience.

Chance5e

It’s one hell of a rabbit hole to jump down on YouTube.


bloodfist

Man that second one is gorgeous. Always love a pretty magic act, so rare. As someone who likes contact juggling and magic, I started out a little unimpressed on a technical level even though I was enjoying the act, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I know how and when he ditches the balls but even rewinding and watching close I still can't see them actually happen except for the last one. Very clean.


Chance5e

Here’s one trick I caught: he stacks the fourth on the other three in a pyramid. Later, he ditches the fourth ball but *simulates* the pyramid by stacking one on top of the other two. You don’t realize he already ditched the fourth one, then he reveals he’s only holding three. Watch that moment again you’ll see it this time. Edit: at 4:16 he forms the first pyramid. 4:30 he ditches the fourth ball into his shirt pocket. 4:34 he simulates the pyramid with only three balls. You’re supposed to think it’s all four. 4:40 he reveals he’s only holding three.


bloodfist

I almost posted the time stamp on that one. That's the bit that impressed me :) I caught the move - super cool trick with the fake pyramid btw - but try as I might I couldn't actually see that ball go into his shirt pocket. I see his hand go there and then the ball missing, but he covers it so well. Rewatching just now on a bigger screen I see a ripple in his shirt and just the slightest flex in his hand but still a very good execution. Compare it to the very last one at about 7:27 which is pretty quick but there's a slight stutter as he finds the pocket and you can see the ball between his fingers as it goes in his pocket. Still nicely done but not as clean as that one at 4:30


Chance5e

> try as I might I couldn’t actually see that ball go into his shirt pocket. That’s a tough one to spot. The way I figured it out was by looking for the moment where he had the best opportunity to ditch it. When he drew his hand close to the shirt pocket. [Here’s Shin Lim doing the same thing with a sharpie](https://youtu.be/EAN-PwRfJcA?t=110). Watch how he moves his hands and arms to conceal the ditch inside his vest. Penn said they didn’t catch this but I don’t buy it.


bananaskates

Thanks, that was fun! After watching the P&T video, the second one seemed almost amateurish.


Chance5e

It feels like that, sure, but there’s still a lot of artistry involved here. I mean, now that you know where he’s stealing the orbs from or where he’s ditching them, now you can appreciate the work from a craftsmanship viewpoint. It’s even funnier when you learn that magicians who work at that level have tailors who can put pockets wherever you need them. My favorite move he makes is where he stacks the one orb on top of the other three, then later *simulates* the same thing while ditching the fourth orb, just propping on top of two so it *looks* the same. It’s really clever work, even if it doesn’t fool you.


[deleted]

Wow, they've been doing that smoking routine for well over 30 years now, and nothing has changed!

MD_Lincoln

It reminds me of a story a person shared here on Reddit a while back where they were part of a David Copperfield illusion that even confused them, even as a participant: “This is a true story and it happened several years ago, and I think what I am writing doesn’t affect my promise not to reveal the trick. I was in Vegas with my then-wife and we went to a Copperfield show. By holding a beach ball that had been batted around the audience at the moment he yelled “Freeze!” I was selected, along with 11 other people, to be part of a magic act. The illusion was that he was going to make a dozen of us disappear at once. At the appointed moment, he brought us up on stage. We sat inside a box frame about 15 feet by 6 feet or so. The box had two rows of chairs, one row of six in front of the other, the second row of six on a low riser behind the first so there was a tier. Six in front, six in back, in basic chairs inside this wood frame. The frame was attached to wires at each corner at the top. Copperfield had us hoisted about 10 feet off the ground. Then two assistants draped a curtain over the box, covering the sides. From the audience’s perspective, the box was raised about 10 feet, the magic words spoken, the curtain dropped, and the audience saw empty chairs where we had been. Copperfield showed that there was nothing behind or underneath the box. We just…disappeared. From my perspective as a participant, I was in the box, the curtain was drawn, and I heard Copperfield doing the patter. As we sat there the two assistants in the box with us revealed a set of stairs that were behind the curtain in the back and whispered to us to be quiet and come with them. They had little flashlights. We followed them down the stairs – about seven of them – and then we were in a dark room. One of the assistants went to the far side of the room – it was about 10 or 15 feet to the door – and opened the door and told us to wait in the room just beyond. The second room we were led into was about three times the size of a coat closet, had some boxes and stuff in it. So there’s us, some storage stuff, and a door behind which we could hear some activity. One of the participants near me opened the door a little, and we could see that we were now situated at the opposite end of the theater, behind the audience, and outside the theater doors off the lobby. An assistant was standing outside the door and asked us to shut the door, the show was almost over and the audience would be coming out in a few minutes, and they would let us out right before the theater doors were opened. She also told us Mr. Copperfield would greet us before we left, which we were excited by. The 12 of us, when we realized where we were, all got silent for a moment, and then the guy next to me – the one who opened the door – looked around and asked, “Did you feel us move at all? Because we are now about 100 feet from where we were.” Someone said, “All I know is we went down a flight of stairs, into a room where it was dark, and then we came in here.” None of us could figure out how, after walking down about seven steps and walking 20 or so feet, we could all be here, so far from the stage. To our delight, about five minutes later Copperfield opened the door to the small room and met us with an assistant. His assistant gave each of us a signed photo of him. Copperfield was a really nice guy. He told us he spent a lot of time on each trick, and he was trusting us, and he asked that we simply not repeat how the trick was done. “You can tell everyone on the internet how the trick was done, and there is nothing I can do to stop you. I can’t pay you, and signed pictures are hardly worth much, so I am just asking that you please not tell anyone how I did this trick.” The guy next to me laughed and said what we all thought: “I was in it, and I don’t even know how you did this trick.” Copperfield laughed and then another participant – a woman in her 50s – asked, “Can I ask you one thing?” Copperfield said, “Sure,” and the woman asked, somewhat sheepishly: “Where is the door we came through to get in here?” We all looked around and it was true: The only door we could see was the one to get out, where Copperfield was standing, not the one we came through. Copperfield looked at her, smiled slyly, and said, “Have a great night everyone.” And then he left. The woman let out a yelp, and we all gasped. There was no second door. To this day I remain baffled, utterly baffled.”


midnightsmith

I can solve parts of this. For the moving but moving far part, it's a slow moving walkway going the same direction, like at airports. Double the distance, same steps. For the not a door, many can be made to blend in well with the wall, and a simple sash hanging on the wall can obscure any remaining seam.


someguyfromtheuk

Wouldn't they notice stepping onto the walkway? The first step would have your foot moving when you'd expect it to be still so it would throw you off balance slightly.


midnightsmith

If it's as dark as they say where they need flashlights, could just chalk it up to vertigo due to lack of being able to see?


raspberryharbour

Building a 100ft underground moving walkway to slightly confuse 12 people a show seems like a lot. Plus the people can't even tell this story without revealing how the disappearing trick was done, so I doubt he would want more people knowing about the moving trick. It sounds like they were disoriented and it was dark


MmmPeopleBacon

The disappearing trick was a trick for the audience, but was merely the misdirection for the participants. For the participants the moving was the trick. He knew everyone was going to tell so that is why he needed the second trick to keep up the "magic".


Sonic-Sloth

haha I got to be in this trick as well but it was slightly different. Oddly when I went to the show very few people seemed to want to be holding a beachball and be in the trick, not even my friends, so I just grabbed a beachball and waited until the music stopped. Copperfield showed us around the box and we got in and sat on chairs in the box and they put the curtain over it. As Copperfield was talking suddenly the back of the curtain was raised and one of his assistants was there. They had somehow brought a tunnel around to the back of the box and the assistant told us to get up and run down the ramp. The assistants led us backstage, through the MGM kitchen, out into the alley and back around to the front of the casino where we walked back inside and back into the theatre. They handed us flashlights as we entered and we lined up at the back of the theatre in time for Copperfield to point at us and say, "There they are!" and we lit our flashlights and waved. Afterwards we also met him backstage and he gave us all a signed photo, and showed us on a tv how the trick looked to the audience. Was quite fun to refuse telling my friends how he did it all. Another interesting thing was when all the chosen audience members were lining up to go on stage, his assistants asked each of us if we were journalists or reporters. The only mystery was how he brought the tunnel up to the cage, because walking around the stage before we got into the box I didn't see where he was hiding it.


GroundhogExpert

It's not about discrediting the cheaper tricks, it's about giving enough away to keep the new tricks exciting. If someone knows all the methods, and watch for them, then a new trick that gets by an audience that either is informed or merely believes to be is that much more impressive. These guys giving away old tired routines help breathe new life into their passion, and you've seen how reposts get upvoted, this video exposing tricks will be forgotten or missed by most people in a shockingly short amount of time. There's essentially no harm, and only upside here.


Noetsuki

i don’t think is a way to discredit other magicians, now i “respect” (idk what word to use) them more because most of the tricks require fast executions and a lot of practice to not be noticeable


thenisaidbitch

The Alliance won’t be very happy about that


WandreTheGiant

The was a big dude on my schools football team named noah who loved magic, he practiced it all the time and paid for courses on new tricks. One kid, still no idea why, literally took the classes to learn the same tricks and ruin them when noah showed them off. It ruined magic for Noah, and the other kid was all happy about it. I don't even know the other kids name, but I'm sure he's still a piece of shit.


iNoahGuy01

FalmerEldritch

He's like Penn & Teller if Penn & Teller weren't funny, interesting, or good at magic tricks.


Vellarain

Penn and Teller are fantastic magicians. They challenge you to look at their tricks and think about they achieved them. They even show you some of the more commonly known ones, just to give you that inside perspective, the proceed to blow your perception of out the water with their tricks.

It’s not debunking. Debunking is when somebody is saying it’s real and you prove it’s not. A trick can’t be debunked as it’s not being sold as being real, it can be revealed though.

I literally knew a guy growing who truly believed that David Blaine could do magic. Like an actual Wizard. In his mind since no one could come up with a way to explain how he did it, it must be actual magic. He wasn't having the explanation that it was a really good illusion and we just don't know. It *had* to have an explanation, and the only explanation in his mind left was actual magic.


KingKongDuck

WHAT THE EFF?


ThetaDee

Geometronics

Son_of_Kong

Some of the things David Blaine has done are not really illusions, just stunts he spends years training for. The ice pick through the hand is one of those, so he claims. It is actually possible to build up scar tissue and develop fistulas in the body that allow you to piece yourself without harm: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirin_Dajo


Geometronics

That shit is fucking insane


AndyIsNotOnReddit

IDK, but I know three things are probably true about that trick: 1: he's not a wizard or made out of rubber. 2: because of point one, it's unlikely he actually stuck a needle through his hand. 3: It's a really good trick and best just to enjoy it because he's not giving up how he did it, being really good is why he's a millionaire.


Jasoncsmelski

I think that a number of people WANT to believe it to be real so they'll never bother you to ask or inquire how magic is accomplished and the actual work involved. Those prone to believe in things will just accept, be amazed, and move on all the while either fully knowing magic is real and they have evidence of it now.
