I don't like magic tricks that can only work as pre-recorded TV segments. Live magic (including stage magic and street magic) is the only valid form of magic for me
Came here to type that. How is it magic when it's just cinema work used in movies. I'd rather suspend disbelief on something with an actual plot (a movie) than something that even I could do with enough resources that does not involve any skill.
This is probably the worst trick ever. I have an improvement suggestion without the those silly sheets. Just stop the camera at a fixed position, bring in the elephant and then restart the recording. It will look like it appeared from nowhere.
when you really break it down, yeah its exactly how we thought. the problem is, we actually believe what they tell us. knowing that they just lie to our faces kinda ruins the magic of the magic. "these cards are all different" (no theyre not) "random spectators" (briefed about trick and are all in on it).
no I assumed that it might be the secret elevator below the ground, I also assumed why there was a crane nearby? it also gave me few ideas , so you are wrong not everyone
This trick is much easier when you do a precision air drop with the elephant wearing an extra large parachute. The hardest part is teaching him to pull the cord.
Same. I remember this was first on ITV4 here in the UK when I was about ten, and whenever I got home from primary school, I'd watch this, just before dinner. I've always wanted them to try another season at some point. They did the four specials in the 1990s, the one in 2002 and the 2008 series, why not another series?
That was the point of the show during its release. Revealing ‘magic’. This dude caused a bit of controversy in the magician community for running this show back then.
What did you with the elephant after? And how did you get it from your house or flat in the second floor? How do you feed it? I mean, they like lots of fruits. Do you go to the next Shopping Center or fruitmarket? Did your waterbill rise a little Bit? What do you do for the elephant's entertainment? Must the elephant wear a mask?
I guess my mistake was i always actually believed the audience were innocent, honest spectators. Everything is easier if the entire audience is in on the trick. smh.
When I was a kid, David Copperfield impressed me when he did something similar in reverse, making a plane appear out of nowhere, in spite of lots of witnesses surrounding it. His show was extra deceptive, because they later did interviews with the seemingly completely shocked people who claimed they had no idea what happened and blatantly lied to the viewers, while in fact they were in on the trick...
I remember seeing that trick with the airplane. I couldn't figure out how he did it. Then, years later, I was told how he did it. It was exactly the same way this guy made the elephant appear out of "nowhere". I then thought it was really lame to have everyone in on the trick and pretending to be surprised.
I remember when i was 10 years old, David Copperfield was on a world tour and came to my country Vietnam. My family won a lucky draw contest and was given 5 tickets. One of his illusions requires audience participation and so he came down and pick "random" audience members. The problem is, all the people he picked are all either white or black. No asians and we are in an asian country. I was thinking right there and then, either David is racist, or the audience he picked are all actors. Then i realised all of his tricks are all fake....
*"How did he know it was the 8 of Hearts? The ingenious trick was that the spectator was in on it and just agreed with whatever card the magician chose."*
Wow, this is ridiculous! As long we are dealing with a TV-audience, you can edit the whole world disappears. And besides the spectators are all in on the trick! :-)
Elephant must be thinking does all these spectators have short term memory? They've seen me walked into the cover yet still got excited when the cover went down.
It makes sense that the witnesses were in on the trick too. I've been chosen as a volunteer from a magician. He asked me to grab change out of my pocket and count it. The magician, from the stage, asked me to hold my hand up in the air with a closed fist and he will figure how much I have. A lady came up to me and asked how much I had in my hand. Thinking that she was just curious, I told her how much. About a minute later he tells me the correct amount. Thinking back, it was most likely that that lady was assisting the magician this whole time via a radio headset that he and she were wearing.
If you do everything that you say, you are on the trick as a paid actor because no one in a right mind would just randomly say someone the main secret that you are supposed to hide in that moment.
The Amazing Randi busted TV evangelist Peter Popoff for pulling that exact scam. He got a friend with a radio scanner to find the frequency Popoff's wife was using to feed him information from prayer cards backstage.
@@kay0946 lol trust me you’ve never experienced this form of dual reality before. It’s really convincing and most times, you won’t know what has happened until it’s too late
Ah, the classic magic trick of "You don't see an elephant right? Now close your eyes for 2 minutes and when you open them, I will have an elephant magically appear!"
This is why i love magic it looks impossible but in reality its just slight of hand, maybe if its recorded it would be camera angles, timing, distractions and props can make one astonishing and amazing trick. Also the reactions from people when you do it perfect is just AMAZING!
@@moos5221 you clearly did not understand the message of this video.. these videos are literally just showing what other magicians do in videos and he's exposing them.

When I saw the spectators just nonchalantly clap when a mf elephant just appeared in front of them I knew they were all in on it. If I saw that happend I'd back up real fast and be freaking out 🤣
You can do similar variations on this sort of trick with the camera. During a "360 degree" viewing from a camera, we will never see behind the camera so as long as whatever is to move does so behind the camera you will never see anything. Same thing will across the sides of the camera, no camera ever gives a "full complete view". Just what you want it to see.
I was never amazed when a magician does magic tricks for a tv show with spectators because it's pretty obvious that they are in on it...it's better to go watch a Magic show live.
This is not a magic trick when there is no witness. if so, then you can simply cut the video and make objects appear or disappear. and edit the video in such a way that no jump is sensible in the film.

It would have been funny if the elephant left a dung trail all the way back to the fake trees. Also, at 1:04, you can see a gap below the fake trees, showing the parking lot surface. Flaw.
I'm very glad to see the comments on this video over the years seem to universally agree that nothing about this "trick" is interesting. "Hey audience, I'm not lying to you about how this works." "Wow, because I have no reason not to take your word for it, I am amazed! How did you do it?!" "I lied! I did exactly what you assumed I was doing and therefore have just annoyed you and caused mistrust." Great trick.
without watching the reveal (1:11) smooth extra seam (long pole, two seams, long pole, THREE seams, long pole, 2 seams, long pole) (3:09) stark differant just to the right of the elephant
So I devised a magic trick, where I use motion tracking software and some content aware fill to make the elephant appear from no where. You see, I paid the software to hide the elephant for me. I always knew I was a magician.
A fun trick I used to do to surprise my friends and family when I was a kid. Works even better with a rhinoceros.
😂😂
I chose an alligator. An arm and an alarm went missing.
Only reason I stopped doing that trick was, it was getting too expensive to keep feeding the Blue Whale.

Indeed!

He also summoned an elephant trainer. Just amazing!
With a Stick in his hand.

I sat front row in Las Vegas at David his show. Trust me, no magic is involved. He is truly a wizard.
His disappearing statue of liberty trick decades ago was just a camera trick.
Taken from two angles to look the same. Pretty lame in my opinion.

@@sustainablelife1st Finally one smart comment. This is pure animal cruelty.
'is my foot high enough that I don't get the stick master? please don't beat me again' love it

I'm afraid

first thing you need to know; everybody is in on the trick... WAUW, this is some stunning magic !!
I don't think "use a fake audience" has ever been an acceptable form of illusion.
Since everybody on screen is fake audience they could insert a dinosaur on post and the trick would be more amazing
I mean he just reveals how it’s done. It’s not his fault other magicians think of having stooges as legitimate

The point is that some magician can use this on his TV show or youtube video and the viewers watching from the camera's perspective are not in on it.
exactly
True. It's what bad magicians do.

These Elephants must be from Jurassic Park. Not making noise until it's the right time and dramatic enough.

There is no sound from the footage. Its all done in post duhh lol
Elephants are usually quiet animals. They only make noise when they are excited or scared.

This trick is easy because ... _nobody ever notices the elephant in the room._
Its elephant who did all the work. Magician is just waving its hands
Do You know how difficult is to move hands????
So the real MVP are the cameramen and the trainer who trained the elephant into doing this kind of stuff.
The real magic trick was surviving that sun-drenched day wearing a black mask and coat.
From this video its clear we can do any magic with paid audience 😂😂
