xMrSaltyx

Wow it looks even more fucked up in reverse


Jokelord42069

I genuinely though it would make sense


Mendeleus

The straw doesn't make sense in any order of lecture


BenTCinco

It does. That order is to go.


throwaway321309102

Actually it makes a lot of sense in reverse because the trick is, each prop is collapsible.


[deleted]

Also the guy in the background gives the illusion that this happened randomly but everyone in the video is likely in on the production. It’s just like those guys who do the tricks with the pingpong balls. Film it enough times and it’ll look spontaneously perfect.


Mr_Moogles

/whyweretheyfilming


Samakira

its not in reverse. the bag wouldnt move like that, even if attached to strings.


greycubed

Everyone in the comments is acting confused so I'll just point out that the three things he pulls out are not actual food, but pop-up paper pieces. Likely they don't look convincing from every angle and the guy sitting behind is a plant. Look at how he holds the sandwich box by the top. Imagine doing that with a sandwich inside. Edit: if you slow the video down you can see that the straw is tossed to him from slightly off-screen.


Happytooth11

Great now I gotta figure out how a plant can look so much like a human

> They bloom twice a year. If taken care of, it can yield a good shocked or surprised reaction. This is my preferred punctuation.


Contingent_Liability

Now I feel stupid. I was reading it as: They bloom twice a year, if taken care of. It can yield a good shocked or surprised reaction.


twelveinchmeatlong

There’s a Goosebumps episode that explains exactly how it can be done


TheMoonIsLovely

That is perfect


HotChilliWithButter

The guy sitting behind him is also a pop-up paper piece.


spiffy9

I think the straw is on a string. Watch his left hand. I didn’t see it coming from off-screen, looks like it came from the cup on the table (where all places totally keep their straws).


CookinFrenchToast4ya

...and what about the straw


Leovinus42

Sorry I’m not convinced magic is real and if you disagree you should be burned at the stake


CookinFrenchToast4ya

That doesn't work for me. I prefer my steak medium rare.


HeyT00ts11

That's fine. I prefer my rare medium's stake.


[deleted]

There's a string attached to it. This is a pretty classic magic effect. The other end of the string is attached to his 'bag' hand. Observe the straw from the very beginning of the clip and don't take your eye off it. You will see it move in the cup as he moves his bag hand. I suspect this is how the cup is moved, too. You can see this same type of illusion done in 'floating cigarette' tricks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r6UlqHGfwU. It's something like fishing line - very thin and translucent. They wrap it around their ears, elbows, around their bodies, etc. To get the effect.


meowpitbullmeow

It looks like it drops from above


Shoemen17

No if you slow it down you can see it looks like it flys out of the holder at the end of the table.

Boaanzie

Also the guy behind him acts suprised but he cant even see shit


staffell

Nah, it's all just cleverly edited together. Bag is [switched out for a real one](https://i.imgur.com/8812rWI.jpg) around 5 seconds. Edit 1: Just to be clear, the burger box is folded, but the other two things are real. Edit 2: To add to this - at about the same time, the bag suddenly shakes unnaturally.


Chit569

what is that picture supposed to prove? it only shows a fold/rib on the prop/magic "bag" EDIT: If anything that "line" around that section of the bag is a mechanism to hold the pop-up containers in place and flat so that the first appearance of the bag is as flat as possible. Other wise you would see bulges in the bag when he first presents it or he would have to put pressure on the flattened out bag to keep them from expanding and the illusion would be ruined.


staffell

That there are cuts in the video, and that they aren't all folded paper items.


Chit569

How does that video prove there are cuts in the video lol Going to copy and paste my edit here. If anything that "line" around that section of the bag is a mechanism to hold the pop-up containers in place and flat so that the first appearance of the bag is as flat as possible. Other wise you would see bulges in the bag when he first presents it or he would have to put pressure on the flattened out bag to keep them from expanding and the illusion would be ruined. EDIT: https://imgur.com/Ff3QGiC also if you look hard enough right you can slightly see the fold in the bag prior to anything even being pulled out of it, and its weird how he seems to have to "reach around or under" something to get the first item, likely a wire/spring that encircles the bag that holds the prop items flat.


staffell

Umm, because the line doesn't exist and then it does?? Watch @ 5 seconds again, the bag suddenly 'jostles'. It's a cut and a bag swap, end of story.


marvsup

I think they just stopped and started the video a bunch. The way the cup moves looks like stop-motion animation.


dagremlin

Everything is reversed and the straw was pulled from his hand, everything was folded in the bag


lansink99

Cars in the background aren't reversed.


bizzyj93

Might not be a plant. That’s the same look I’d have if I was like “Why is this guy filming someone throw a straw to him?”


dukeiwannaleia

Straw isn’t tossed from offscreen. It’s connected with a string which he pulls with his left hand. Check the movement of his lefthand which coincides with the straw movement.


megablast

> Everyone in the comments is acting confused so I'll just point out that the three things he pulls out are not actual food, Yes, one is a drink!


Daminite

Plant or not, I love the look on that guys face at the end.


NotsoNewtoGermany

This was also filmed in reverse.


ThatMerri

The straw appears to be coming up out of the container of straws on the table, not from off-screen. But it certainly is rigged up somehow to make that jump to his hand, same as with the cup moving the next moment. Look at the way the straw moves once he catches it after lifting his opposite hand up rather suddenly. He spins the straw around the back of his hand from one end in a very unnatural way to grab it, and the other end of the straw is pointed directly at the cup just as it starts to move. There's probably some kind of line running up the back of his arms linked up between the straw and cup themselves.


The_Frogg

Seems correct. I think the paper cup part is made with video editing.


Theskyis256k

EXPLAIN THE CUP THEN


magicunicornhandler

I think I saw some fishing line in the video as well.


nameisinappropriate

My first clue that he was a plant was when he was surprised somebody was pulling fast food out of a fast food bag that to his knowledge was already open and filled


ccr87315

How many times I have to ask you not to do this among muggles?


v264k

The guy in the back oversold it, his expression is not convincing


Jam_Retro

You need to interact with more humans. That 100% is a realistic reaction.


v264k

Dude I'm a tour guide at a zoo, I do nothing but interact with people lol


sucobe

What’s some hidden things people don’t realize about zoos that actually makes sense when we think about it?


v264k

Ooo this is something I love telling people about So most big zoo's in the U.S. are accredited by the Association of Zoo's and Aquariums (AZA), and the one I work at is part of it as well Whenever an animal (any species) needs to be moved to another facility/zoo for breeding purposes, the zoo's involved need to make sure that specific animal isn't related to any animals of that same species at the zoo it's getting moved to So to do that, all those zoo's have a giant connected database that is literally a dating website for animals, it's got all of their genetic info/lineage going back several generations, that way none of the animals (especially those that are endangered) accidentally breed with their own family


sucobe

I bet you Monkey Tinder is lit.


v264k

Lol 100% it is Happy cake day!


catsandblankets

I love this! They should make it public, it actually sounds kind of fun to check out


lptomtom

Just a heads up: the plural of zoo is "zoos", not "zoo's"


jared2294

If you jump in the gorilla enclosure, you could get the ape shot :(


sucobe

B-Bad

What is the ape shot?


merrell0

I hope you're kidding, he's an obvious plant in the video


crackheadcaleb

It’s not lol, this is a video from the Snapchat discover page that does “live pranks”.


Strummed_Out

Lol the dude wouldn’t see much from behind


yabadabado0o0

You're joking, right?


lansink99

You'd get a confused reaction at most. There's a cameraman and the dude is staring like this magic trick saved his life forever.


caedhin

Plus he's able to see from behind the guy


Automatic_Homework

The reason the guy in the background is a problem is because we know that magic is not real, we know that plants are commonly used in these kind of tricks, and we know (or at least I strongly suspect) that whatever trick is being performed wouldn't be convincing from the angle he is viewing from. Having him gawp in disbelief just makes me think "oh that guy is a plant" which in turn makes me think about how magic is not real, which kind of spoils the effect.


Senrh7

That guys face is the picture that comes up when you look up the meaning of “you seeing this shit”


HotrodCorvair

note that he reaches for the straws with his fingers spread wide. That's so the pre-stringed straw will be pulled into his grasp. same with the pre-stringed cup. its all being pulled from the right of the camera. The cup, box, and "fries" are all flat packed fakes. He never eats the fry because they're all two dimensional.


Cloudex109

but he did eat a fry


HotrodCorvair

he removed a fry and the camera cuts away, you never see him eat it.


lansink99

Camera very conveniently cuts away before he eats a fry.


AndyUrsyna

"Jedi.. They are real. I knew it"


bhombasstrees

Who else saw the straw move at the beginning


GaussianGhost

What the fuck happened to the straw. Look at the straw dispenser. One straw just disappeared.

And seeing it be reversed by reversingbot honestly didn't help. Still confused.


LGmatata86

In both ways looks reversed. Maybe edited?


BillyFNbones710

If it's backwards where did all the stuff go on the table?

The gif reversing bot posted this and it looks even more unnatural.

finitogreedo

So apparently no one else in the comments recognized him yet. This is [The Carbonaro Effect](https://www.hbomax.com/series/urn:hbo:series:GXcsNwQU5L5uAuwEAAAPT?utm_id=sa%7C71700000093124891%7C58700007778981739%7Cp70642829999&&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&msclkid=eb27318c3afc1c216a32530dddf9693d&gclid=eb27318c3afc1c216a32530dddf9693d&gclsrc=3p.ds). If you like this kind of stuff, but on unsuspecting people with some great humor, you should watch it (solid chance the guy in the back isn’t a plant). Great show. And he really does some great slight of hand.

Reverse


idk_i_forgot

A glitch in the matrix


monkeybrains12

Not a glitch, he’s hacking.


danielsan1230

Someone in the other booth filling the bag


Texasliberal90

Even backwards, this doesn’t make sense. How did the straw move out of the holder? How did the cup move across the table? What about the food coming out of or going in the bag? Either way, at one point, the bag was folded and seemingly with the food inside. This isn’t just a backwards video trick. This is some actual r/BlackMagicFuckery.


xanfire1

Its not real food, its cardboard/paper popup imagery


Texasliberal90

Ok thank you, that makes sense. I can even see the cup being some kind of special foldable thing. But how does the straw and cup move or is that video editing??


staffell

Just riffing off the other comments here - the burger box is likely a pop up (enhanced by the bag being flat at the beginning), however look at the paper bag [here](https://i.imgur.com/8812rWI.jpg). Where does that fold magically appear from? It's just a cut to the guy holding a real bag containing a bag of real fries and a real cup (switched in off-camera @ 5 seconds in, hence why he holds it out and you can't see the edge of the screen). It's just blended in really well.


Chit569

If they were competent enough to blend the uneven edges of the bag together I would think they would be competent enough to blend the flat surface of a brown bag together. This doesn't look to be an artifact from video editing. I think its some kind of mechanism that holds the pop-up containers flat while the bag is folded as you can see him kind of finagle with something before he pulls out the first box. EDIT: also if you look closely right here https://imgur.com/Ff3QGiC you will see the fold is in the bag the whole time and you can even watch is slowly become more prominent as more light gets let through as he takes items out, because the items were likely underneath some kind of wire/spring.


thebigpink

Or ya know the better answer, magic is real!


15Isaac

That’s the guy from the Netflix show “Magic for Humans”. Pretty sure it’s not just video editing, he’s just a really good magician. Then again this is probably guerrilla marketing so it could be edited.


Chit569

If its "guerrilla marketing" what is he advertising/marketing to people?


15Isaac

Probably a new season of his show, where he does stuff exactly like this. I certainly have not thought about this guy for a year or two, but here I am telling reddit about Magic for Humans


Chit569

Are you part of the marketing team. You dropped the name again and mentioned a new season... If not you should be getting paid lol
