I LOVE THE ILLUSIONIST!!!!
The Gentleman Magician so sorry good!
The film is a reinterpretation of the Mayerling incident. when in 1889, Prince Rudolf and his lover, the baroness Mary Vetsera, committed suicide.
There is the film Mayerling (1968) with Omar Shariff and Catherine Deneuve.
I am so glad my Psychology teacher had us watch this movie last year (we had to figure out the Prince in a psychological manner). Absolutely loved this movie, and just watched it again. A masterpiece indeed!
I watched it recently again, annoyed me that I still haven’t come up with a way to do the portrait trick
@@SylarMagic 😂 Hopefully you will get it one day. 😁
The thing with the tree disappearing is a story told by a character, it's not supposed to be real. The sword trick could be done with an electromagnet. In the movie Eisenheim is on a slightly elevated stage with a wooden floor, there would be a magnet and battery system underneath. Not sure how you could get the sword to stand on it's point though!
The Illusionist is honestly one of my favourite films. I spent weeks trying the "ball to the forehead" trick out on friends & family after seeing it.😉
For me it will always be a race between this and the prestige. Ball to the head is still a pretty decent trick 😄
I adore both. I watched the Prestige years later so didn't realise there was a contest at the time. I think the Prestige may have the Edge for me now but it's a close call.
Have you done a video like this for the Prestige?
@@Ballbagsaggins I have one on the prestige and one on now you see me 1 & 2. I do need to re do them tho, I’m better at talking to the camera now 😄
try that trick on a black dude lool
Skylar, I found this DVD in a charity shop for 50 centimes.
I thought I would give it a go as I loved the old-world sepia aesthetic and Jessica Biel has the same smile as a French woman I know.
This was what I call Real Cinema. In other words a film with a real story, yes some VFX but these were essential to tell the story, not solely what the story was about as is often the case today.
Such a wonderful film... Officially my favourite love story now. Don't we all want to run away?
Best wishes from an Englishman making armour in a French forest, and all the mice in the workshop. 👍⚒️🐭🐭🐭
Amazing film, right? Magic is always better with a good story behind it.
For the painting trick you could have a little tube in your hand that you can squirts out some sort of solution to make the colors, on a treated canvas, appear. The holding of the "air" brush is really you holding a tube the squirts a fine mist. You could make the lighting and the angles to the audience in such a way as they would not see or notice the mist being sprayed on the canvas.
One of my favorites too
Paul Does Magic are you aware of others outside of NYSM 1&2, magicians, illusions and the prestige? Trying to find as many as possible, just so I can judge them really 😄
@@SylarMagic I love those movies too! I'll have to check them out.
To me the largest failing of this movie, it’s ultimate downfall if it suffers from such a thing, is the fact almost all of the magic is done via CG. It ruins the mystery and makes the main character far less intriguing.
If all the tricks had been done for real (of course some tricks would need to be changed), it would improve the film tenfold
I completely agree, these tricks would easily be doable with some good magicians consulting on the movie
Just spitballing but the portrait would likely be a reveal like the wow card trick sleeve gimmick. Any light induced polarization/depolarization thing would work as well I would guess.
Follow me on insta so we can chat, don’t wanna talk methods in comments. My social are in the description
You could also wear the same jacket he wears in the movie so you could put the mechanism on right in front of the audience and they don't realize it, plus it would have the long sleeves.
Hey, I only just discovered your channel (UA-cam's algorithm sucks.) I was insanely excited that someone loved this movie as much as I did, I've literally never found anyone who actually liked it. it, I found myself berated by people over preferring The Illusionist to The Prestige, which seems to have a very intense following.
Yeah YT is not doing me any favours 😂
I like The prestige too but the illusionist has more of a mystery feel to it, prestige feels more fiction to me. I finally came up with a method to throw the ball in slow mo so super happy with that 😂
Kinda like a kid's book that you use a wet sponge to make the colors appear on the page.
You should find a REALLLY BAD magic movie and review that
Notography I’m pretty sure the one with Jim Carey is terrible 😄
But how could he have created ghosts in colour when the only film they had back then was black and white?
The “ghosts” the spectators saw at the time were white if I recall correctly, there is a documentary on Robert Houdin that the explains this but I saw it a long time ago
@@SylarMagic I just finished watching it today. The ghosts were in full colour. I still enjoyed it though despite this and the dodgy cgi effects.
@@travellingshoes5241 oh you mean in the movie, yes, obviously it takes some liberties. Names are changed etc. It’s more insipid by Robert Houdin than anything else
@@SylarMagic I'll have to research this Robert Houdin character...
@@travellingshoes5241 he’s the first magician to take magic from the street and bring it into theatres and use technology in his act ( as limited as it was at the time). Houdini took his name and added the i at the end to use as a stage name.
Yeah, no. Impossibly stupid movie.
