So guys, which one out of the Top 10 tricks did you like the most? And who’s your favourite magician? Also, name any other video topic you would like us to create?
Thank you for explanations for items 10 to 2, doing that high levatation using magnets at that place is impossible! First, to levitate that amount of weight they need to set up a huge electo magnet underneath, which cannot be done without being noticed in that place; second, that amount of magnetism will destroy all electronic devices near him, people's phones and cameras! Third, the levitated person over magment will be very unstable event with a few inches levitation, let alone a few feet! He pulled another trick but not the magnets!
I thought that was the worst trick out there: so many people in the way I could not see more than one of his feet off the ground. The camera clipped the soles of his feet often, etc. Just a Meh!
Agree. Some of his "impromptu" effects are staged and edited. When Blaine did it, they recorded both the Balducci levitation and one with wires and edited them together. If this were magnets....that's some Nobel winning stuff lol "how to create a magnetic field that only affects this one person and keeps them upright. Those conveniently hidden camera angles are sketchy lol wouldn't you record up front? One solid shot of him walking up, levitating, walking away? Surely it's closer to Blaine, wires/poles, editing.
The Dynamo trick - it would be almost impossible for him to stay balanced if used a magnetic field. Try using a small magnet and see how unstable it is. He would have inevitably flipped over and fallen.
if you understand physics you will know its utter rubbish that magnets did this. Everyone there was in one it all filmed from different angles like a movie
@@elliot8595 Nonsense, magnetic fields are used in stored to showcase items and can also be surrounded by customer and filmed from all angle. while on levitation. You started with "if you know physics" and I was expecting to hear something meaningful. They you came with " Everyone there was in one it all filmed from different angles like a movie" Magnetic field can pass through objects and even humans with out being significantly reduced. You many say; Lens-position sensors respond to magnetic fields. If you place a magnet near these sensors, the magnetic field will interfere with or temporarily disable the sensors. This can degrade the sensors' accuracy and limit the range of movement available to the lenses. But do you know if the cameras ain't also worked to bring the illusion. Don't call something rubbish if you can't offer a better explanation, and starting with if you understand physic never makes you a physics expert.😂
Yeah the magnet thing is complete BS ... the magnet it would take to lift someone 1 meter would throw around bystanders and a deadly hurricane of iron :D
What’s amazing about these illusions are honestly how much work and set up they require. They are done so well that even if you know the trick, you still can’t see the trick when done live or even after multiple viewings. And that’s why I enjoy these guys - seeing “behind the scenes” honestly helps me appreciate even more all the hard work that the illusionists do to make their illusions come out just so perfectly.
The dynamo floating explanation is complete nonsense, you can't float anything on top of a repelling magnet with just two like poles, it's inherently unstable. It's far simpler that like many tricks, the crowd are in on it and are crowded around him like that to conceal a physical mechanism lifting him from the ground. Which is why he doesn't go very high and in many of the camera angles his feet can't be seen. Plus the mechanism was probably repositioned for shots from different angles and the whole thing edited together.
Notice that you never get a clear shot of him floating. He is at all times partly blocked by the audience. When you see these tricks, nothing is ever by chance. Camera angles are carefully selected. If they in fact made him levitate using magnets, which is nearly inpossible to do, you could be damn sure there was a clear shot of it.
For the levitation trick, pause the video at 23:04. The footage appears to have been manipulated. Examining it frame by frame, there's a white cloth below the magician. The right side of the cloth is filled in with pure white, likely concealing the elevator device that lifts him. As the cloth spins, around 23:06, it's either a person in white or a white cover to the elevator. It seems jeans briefly emerge from under the white fill. Either way, it makes the manipulation more evident. It's filled in white to match the sky, covering the elevator lift. It appears that everyone involved is in on the act, but their acting leaves much to be desired. When the shot switches to behind the magician, a pole going up his left pant leg becomes visible. In this same shot, the magician's feet (and the concealed elevator) are conveniently out of the frame. It's odd that they chose not to show his full body during the supposed levitation if they weren't hiding the elevator. The harness is also noticeable under his shirt from the front. In my opinion, using edited video to perform a trick is akin to making a superhero fly in post-production. There's no display of a magician's skill here, and it's an insult to the art form. It should be discouraged and called out. It's both disappointing and laughable that the video creator attempted to explain the trick using magnets when it clearly appears to be edited footage. The editing is subpar as well. In all honesty, if magnets were used at this scale, it would be amazing and revolutionary-truly magical. They would obviously backup and show a full camera shot and show he was actually floating.... but they can't because there is a lift / elevator / machine that everyone sees. In fact, no claim of sorcery necessary. Float some people with magnets and get 100 million views.
Some people think that revealing the secrets ruins the magic, but knowing _how_ they did it...especially so seamlessly...only makes me admire the performers that much more! P.S. Regarding Dynamo's levitation, I'm reminded of an observation by Science Fiction writer, Arthur C Clarke, in 1962. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Even when you know the secrets, magic is en exquisite joy to watch.. the physical effects, visual effects, and mentalism combined with awe .. it is an act that sparks wonder.. We love the wonders in life! In reality, magic is a trade of perfection amidst chaos, a generated certainty..it demands knowledge, hard work, and teamwork.. an apprentice or guildmember of magic is to be professionally respected.
I enjoyed reading your description of magic. You made me see it in a whole new way, very well said, and I completely agree. I had never really thought about how much physical dexterity and grace go into it before, and certainly the teamwork is almost like a sort of dance.
Only the last "explanation" is wrong. At 24:45, you can see the guy is being hold by a piece of metal that passes through his pant's right leg and reaches his waist (at 22:44 it's possible to see there's something solid around his waist under the shirt), like a small platform that is raised by someone behind the scene. Those people in his right could see it and were surely part of the trick.
As mostly, simply ALL people are part of those tricks. They get paid primarily for keeping that secret via serious contracts with high penalties, if they brake it. Copperfield did that as well.
Your explanation is the best I’ve read. It’s usually the simplest trick in these types of magic presentations and the magnetic field is just way to complicated.
If Dynamo really does his thing magnetically, he's going to have a lot of explaining to do someday when someone in the crowd has a pacemaker that malfunctions in the vicinity of the magnets. Not only that, anyone with car keys in their pocket would feel them being strongly tugged at if the field strength was strong enough to levitate a 160-lb man.
So he must have had three dollar bills in his hands, not just two. The one given to him, the flash paper one, and the one with the pre-known serial number.
I also have issues with this explanation. Yes, 2 north poles (or 2 south) will push each other appart, but it is not a stable configuration. Without a rail to force the orientation of his shoes, the magnets in his shoes will flip on first occasion and crush his feets in a N-S sandwitch.
@@anilptl And make him a train? Yes, if there were hundreds of magnet shoes tied together by a solid structure, it may become stable enough. But even with something to hold on to, which he apparently doesn’t have, no one has ankles strong enouth to prevents the magnets to rotate to the stable low-energy configuration of being aligned and stuck to the ground magnet. The only way to havestable magnetic levitation is to have a supraconductor on one side as they always exactly oppose any magnetic field applied to them, but they need to be kept at extremely low temperature much harder to hide than a loop of cable in the ground. So for me, it is ’just’ a better version of the mecanical levetation usualy performed several meters away from the audience.
a guy who used to be David Copperfield's assistant hosted a dinner event at a church I use to go to. The pastor and him were friends. He did a fantastic magic show. He would make birds appear out of nowhere right in front of you at your table and other cool illusions. He also sang and played bass, since I played guitar, he had me play that night with his band. My illusion was I never played country music, and I played the two hours' worth with their band, I don't think his other guitarist liked me since I was the lead guitarist that night. lol
Most illusions or “tricks” are not my cup of tea, but the engineering behind them fascinating. I feel like the performer is playing me for a fool. The other thing, often times the “lovely assistant” is the real talent of the act.
The last "explanation" is totally wrong, because if you stand with magnetic shoes on an electromagnet with like poles under each foot, when the magnet is switched on your feet will be kicked out from under you; there is no way that you could ever gently levitate! Also the inverse cube law makes it impossible for the strength of the repulsive field to levitate him to the height that he is seen reaching. Unless there is some kind of powerful superconducting magnet being used, the field strength just won't be powerful enough at that distance to support his weight.
At that power, it would have ripped cameras out of people's hands, and cheap earrings out of ears, the guy with a Prince Albert would have been screaming for hours.
You are absolutely right. I have worked a lot with powerful magnets, and I believe that what he supposedly did there is completely impossible with magnets.
Great video. You said at the end if there's a secret that someone would want revealed, saw an illusion by david Copperfield years ago when placed in a clear box on stage and then a clear lid is placed on top then levitates in the box and then does rotating flips. Never forgot that and always wanted to know how he did it. Any ideas how he did that?
@@rackum44 Well, it is isn't it? When you say "Now we All know that magic isn't real", it implies that you were the only one who didn't know this all along. Did you not know, or were you unsure?
You got the box part of the tic-tac-toe wrong. You can clearly see at 18:34 (the assistant's right hand) that the box has four fake inside squares that he lets go one at a time, releasing the papers for each judge
I really enjoyed the tiktechno trick that John didead. I am an amateur magician and I used to do A 4- 50 cent pieces trick with 4 cards moving them under the guise of the cards. I'm getting older now and I forgot the moves. Can you please do it notorial on this particular trick? Thank you
My dad fooled around with magic a bit, and when I was about 11 years old I took a magic class at a local YMCA. The tricks were pretty much standard gimmicks but the guy would perform them first and did them perfectly, then he'd show how it was done and various members of the class might get a copy of the gimmick to take home and mess with our parents and siblings. I remember once dealing a poker hand from a cut deck and when I looked at my hand, it was 5 of a kind. Literally... 5 copies of the 5 of diamonds. I just thought it was some old deck of cards my dad had. This was at the time the "TV Magic" deck was being advertised all the time. But mine was better because the ringer card was 5 of diamonds instead of ace of spades, which was too obvious. Anyway in a matter of minutes I could reproduce everything from the commercial easily. I also had a stripper deck. Someone had to first invent this stuff, and that's where the genius lies because in almost any magic show the props are fairly simple, ordinary objects that have to pass at least basic scrutiny. Used to be a magic store nearby, I'm sure it's long gone. There are literally thousands of tricks with gimmicks readily available. It's the ones that don't use the familiar gimmicks or the ones that come out of nowhere that are truly impressive. I had a "magic block" that would turn a penny into a dime... of course the gimmick was the penny, not the block. While trying to bamboozle my brother with this for the first time, my dad says "Is it a hollow penny??" I wanted to smack him....
Agreed, stating magnets are used is just dumb, He would have been flopping all over the place. Hacksmith did a video showing how fast the magnets would have to spin and super cooled in order to maintain balance.
Not to mention the amount how dangerous it would be to use such a crazy strong electromagnet in the middle of a crowd like that. And to do it that stable. No it's not a magnet. It's probably just as it always is in these cases: wires and a bought crowd. Or heck, I'll even say it's more likely that it's aliens than magnets. I'm baffled FF (who use to be pretty smart about things) came up with such a stupid idea..... Like, what the hell guys??
I have just one question if every magic trick has an cheating method did real magic have in this world or everything or fake or what can anyone please explain me ✨
he's been doing this for his entire career. Stooges + camera edits I mean this is basically the same method as anyone who just bought a camcorder 30 years ago would have thought of doing it. Spectators pretending not to see a giant crane and whatnot.
I once went to a magic school to learn, of course magic. The principal asked me what kind? I told him that I wanted to create $100 bill out of thin air. He replied that if he knew how to do that, he won't be running a magic school. Finally, he showed me the door.
I have witnessed magicians reaching through glass or car windows to grab things inside and pull them out. I have never been able to figure out how that is done. Greetings from Germany.
Fantastic explanations. I would love an explanation on a trick that Penn and Teller did on their show with 3 mugs and a fig newton. They did the trick to two other magicians, 1 being the magic dragon and another very famous magician whose name escapes me right now. I believe it's a math trick but for the life of me and a few fellow magicians could not figure it out. Thank you in advance. An amateur magician for forty years.
On the Dynamo trick, the way his shirt is sitting at 22:45 is pretty much evidence of a harness. The mechanism isn't in his shoes if he takes off his shirt prior to the trick, then wears it during the trick. His simply being lifted. Likely the crane is right behind the camera.
at 24:46 you can clearly see the rod, just visible under the (virtual)armpit, along the (not there)man's blue shirt. Its even hinged at the hight of the pictured belt (no,no "bag" diagonal orso of thus man, who probably is "shopped in" afterworths: depth perception is way off (is he in front or after D?) and in previous seconds the complete blue-shirt-man isn't even visible). Who clearly is visible: the guy in white shirt just in front of camera and blocking the view (not by change). At least double shots taken here: woman-friend of white-shirt-guy had time to lift sunglasses between shots. So, its visible and indeed. And no magnets. To lift more than 1m orso would take the energy of dozends of reaeaeaeally big dynamo's 😊
@@benbos6625 In other words, the trick is identical to the way it is done on stages around the world, simply using people in place of a curtain or other coverup/
Thanks for taking the effort in revealing the magic tricks. I always loved magic. I love even more how the tricks are done. I feel most of the tricks with crowd, they are not random. They are already paid to be in the magic. The woman who floated on sword already had a supporting strip inside her back. The magician just screwed the modified sword in her the back. The guy who floated is fake. We could never see his shoes floating. It was a publicity stunt. Not a magic trick.
I'm confused by your comment, the video just explained how the woman floated on a sword, how the guy floated in air and how the audience is in on the trick.
I dont know what it was, but it wasnt magnets. Look at 22:47. He is clearly wearing a body harness. His hips and the middle of his torso have an usual ridge around them. Also while levitating, his legs and feet dont even move a fraction of an inch. Even if those were magnetic boots, there is no way he could keep still or even upright. Not to mention a magnet strong enough to lift a man several feet off the ground has to be very strong. Bystanders would feel it.
Those all seem plausible except the mag lev part. IT seems like the force from the shoes would be difficult to recover or dampen a perturbation, like just a muscle twitch. I am going to research it more.
He's amazing! There's a video of him talking with another magician about that episode and how Donny Osmond almost ruined it when he grabbed the deck at the start. I've purchased a couple of his tutorials and that routine is a brilliant combination of a lot of his material, mixed with "just having fun" lol if you like that, look up Juan Tamariz (his teacher) and Markobi (who won FISM 2022) its so chaotic, funny and pure sleight of hand. Love it
I liked watching a video of Penn and Teller showing how the cups and ball trick was done 10+ years ago, with clear cups, which was Finally Revealed on here 3 months ago, as of my first time viewing this video which was made available in Sep. 23, 2022. I'm glad it was Finally Revealed though, because I had wondered how the trick was done when I watched the clear cup version back then. Is a trick Finally Revealed when viewers already know how it's done?
Does anybody know what movie the clip of the zombie coming out of the ground is from at 3:45? It’s a zombie head popping up out of the ground it’s like a woman’s head. I’ve been trying to find the movie for years I think it was called “ The Goo Monsters” and the ground would start moving right before the zombies came up out the ground.
24:40 to 24:44 you can see the lifting harness pulling up his shirt between the collar and the sleeves. camera cuts as he's coming down at 24:46 the shirt is back flat. Once off the rig his feet aren't shown, and looks to be lowering on a hydraulic platform. 22:47 you can see the rig take his weight and start to lift the shirt, 23:09 you can see there is something under his shirt. I'd have to say all the spectators were in on it. and a crane was placed out of view.
The last levitating trick of Dynamo. Using science and physics is quite astonishing rather than decieving eyes of the viewers or spectators or just doing slight of hands.
I don't buy the magnet explanation. For him to levitate that high would require an incredibly strong magnetic field. This would involve massive amounts of electricity. He would need huge cables to carry the enormous amount of current that would be needed to generate such an immense magnetic field. Nope. I don't buy it.
@@NightwishArena That is absolutely correct. Additionally, anyone with metal in their pockets (e.g., car keys) would certainly notice such an intense magnetic field.
Dynamo did not use magnetism. Ever try to put two identical poled magnets together? He'd be sliding all over the place. The toys you showed use a top magnet. There is none here.
Though we all no "MAGIC" is not real. What make's it so astonishing isn't the actual trick aka magic, it's the presentation. Depending entirely on presentation, even the simplest trick can be entertaining and that what it's all about.
Also if you've ever seen a convex mirror... you can imagine all kinds of uses for it in a magic show. "It's done with mirrors" - yes, partly anyway. A convex mirror can make a 3d object appear to float out in front of it - but again gotta control that viewing angle.
I don't blame you for not having an explaination as to "Shin Lim's" magic. He has fooled "Penn & Teller" 3 for 3. Won Season 13 on AGT and the following year of "the Champion's".
That last one about electromagnetic levitation doesn't quite sit right with me. What was keeping him verticle? He should have been flipped over on his but. Have you ever seen a magnet float easily above another magnet? No, you haven't, because it just doesn't work that way. The top magnet always gets flipped over to the side. So I ask you again, based on your electromagnet theory, what was keeping him upright?
Hi, once I've been in the magicians evening with my daughter and one of them did this: My daughter was with closed eyes, he touched my nose and she said that he is touching her nose, he touched my hand and she felt that. After that I closed my eyes and he did the same. He touched her, she felt it and I felt it as well. I saw this trick many times but can't understand how he did it. May be you can explain this?
Once the trick is exposed, it's about as "incredible" as a kid on a swing yelling, "Look mom, no hands!" I think magicians never got enough praise from mom. LOL.
I vaguely recall him building a strange device (with wires inside his trousers) that could tie his shoelaces together "using the power of his mind", but I'm pretty sure he didn't have magnets in his shoes. It seems that he was more likely *pulled* upwards (by a crane or pulley system), not pushed (by magnets, lol).
Oh actually, he was "pushed" upwards, but with a similar mechanism to the one used in the sword-balancing trick. I think he has a metal bar strapped to his leg and it clips into a mechanical pole that lifts him off the ground.
David Blaine does that one. An off camera stagehand uses double-sided tape to stick a duplicate of the spectator’s forced card to the glass, inside the building.
last ones hokem - Magnito is moving and unbalanced when rising, also the field created is not flat so magneto would have to be spot on to less than a millimetre, Also the magnetic force he would have to carry is huge - a number of car batteries in tandem would be insufficient. Phones and cameras would also be effected
I am mostly a science guy and a comedian. I really enjoyed the last trick (the one about magnets) and the comedian in me really enjoyed "Ghost Girl" admittedly, I had no clue how they were performed, but they make since now.
So guys, which one out of the Top 10 tricks did you like the most? And who’s your favourite magician?
Also, name any other video topic you would like us to create?
None stop
I like your videos but I do not like your mixing new stuff with some old stuff of yours.

I agree the instability is my biggest issue with magnets. He will slide off very quickly especially if it is his shoes that serves as the platform.

The more "setup" you have to do, the less of a real magician you are, because the less skill it takes. Ask any slight-of-hand person.
So true. Its really Hard work
You know it !
Ive been a professional magician for 40+ years, some of the work we go through to pull off an illusion is a feat in itself !

yes you are correct, so do you think he actually did magic over there?
I doubt the magnetic explanation because of the distance, plus the problem of balance.
Something ELSE is going on.
In the dollar bill transportation trick the dollar he burned wasn’t real. Money doesn’t burn like that when it’s lit. That was flash paper
So he must have had three dollar bills in his hands, not just two. The one given to him, the flash paper one, and the one with the pre-known serial number.
Furthermore burning/defacing currency is a felony.
The simplest explanation is: they are all just fake dollar bills with the same serial number. Perfectly reprinted on paper with almost the same feel.
@@LABoyko
I bet you’re fun at parties.
At the 8:21 mark, I do NOT like magic acts where the audience member is working for the magician. It reeks of fraud.
That last one, Dynamo floating, you're nutz, it a trick alright, but you're dreaming up an explanation.
I also have issues with this explanation. Yes, 2 north poles (or 2 south) will push each other appart, but it is not a stable configuration. Without a rail to force the orientation of his shoes, the magnets in his shoes will flip on first occasion and crush his feets in a N-S sandwitch.
Yep, that was stupid. Not only to mention, if you could get the guy up in the air, he would just slip off the side of the field.
@@franck3279 we can use multiple magnets for stability

But even with something to hold on to, which he apparently doesn’t have, no one has ankles strong enouth to prevents the magnets to rotate to the stable low-energy configuration of being aligned and stuck to the ground magnet.
The only way to havestable magnetic levitation is to have a supraconductor on one side as they always exactly oppose any magnetic field applied to them, but they need to be kept at extremely low temperature much harder to hide than a loop of cable in the ground.
So for me, it is ’just’ a better version of the mecanical levetation usualy performed several meters away from the audience.
I dont buy it either
a guy who used to be David Copperfield's assistant hosted a dinner event at a church I use to go to. The pastor and him were friends. He did a fantastic magic show. He would make birds appear out of nowhere right in front of you at your table and other cool illusions. He also sang and played bass, since I played guitar, he had me play that night with his band. My illusion was I never played country music, and I played the two hours' worth with their band, I don't think his other guitarist liked me since I was the lead guitarist that night. lol
16:09 wouldn't it of been easier to turn the "3" into an "8" rather than sand part of the ink off to make that a 3?
A much bigger magnet would be needed for the Rio flying trick---He couldn't hide even half it on his person.
That "Rianna" thing is a trick that has been done since the 70's THE EXACT SAME WAY.. Doug Henning did that on one of his TV specials in 78/79...
What I'd like to know is how she got from the stage to behind the judges without them hearing her .
@@billbeliakoff5589 Telling the audience to shut up...
@@billbeliakoff5589 My guess would be more smoke and that she crawled in the smoke.
@@jefflong1799 Yes i think so too. The way they were smiling at the back. I saw one woman in particular smiling behind the judges.
Most illusions or “tricks” are not my cup of tea, but the engineering behind them fascinating. I feel like the performer is playing me for a fool. The other thing, often times the “lovely assistant” is the real talent of the act.
Amazing!!
It just feels so 'wrong' watching this but l couldn't resist! Thanks FactoFusion! Aloha from Maui!
Chris Angel, Master Editor.
Think of the laziest possible explanation and you probably have it.
The last "explanation" is totally wrong, because if you stand with magnetic shoes on an electromagnet with like poles under each foot, when the magnet is switched on your feet will be kicked out from under you; there is no way that you could ever gently levitate! Also the inverse cube law makes it impossible for the strength of the repulsive field to levitate him to the height that he is seen reaching. Unless there is some kind of powerful superconducting magnet being used, the field strength just won't be powerful enough at that distance to support his weight.
At that power, it would have ripped cameras out of people's hands, and cheap earrings out of ears, the guy with a Prince Albert would have been screaming for hours.
Also watching the crowds reactions, some of them are not even impressed and waving to other people, which makes me thing the crowd is in on it
You are absolutely right. I have worked a lot with powerful magnets, and I believe that what he supposedly did there is completely impossible with magnets.
Magnetic fields are "slippery" to stand on. More likely he had the coil around his torso and the heavy legs pulling down added some stability.
@@tenagliac Strong electromagnets run very hot, too hot to be wearable on his body. And the wires would be quite visible!
Great video. You said at the end if there's a secret that someone would want revealed, saw an illusion by david Copperfield years ago when placed in a clear box on stage and then a clear lid is placed on top then levitates in the box and then does rotating flips. Never forgot that and always wanted to know how he did it. Any ideas how he did that?
Now we All know that magic isn't real but what it is is the performers have a very great imagination and talent
You didn't know before?
@@garyfrazier8739 Yeah but that's for the ones that only just say oh magic's fake magic's fake
@@rackum44 Well, it is isn't it? When you say "Now we All know that magic isn't real", it implies that you were the only one who didn't know this all along. Did you not know, or were you unsure?
Magic IS real, as we all have seen it!
...but wonders are not. ;)
You got the box part of the tic-tac-toe wrong. You can clearly see at 18:34 (the assistant's right hand) that the box has four fake inside squares that he lets go one at a time, releasing the papers for each judge
Yeah, that's why the assistant hold the box so awkwardly. A normal person would hold the box by the bottom.
@@stephenh5944 So it's an unnormal PERSON, he used for that trick! Quite clever, right? ;)
@@NipapornP
That is funny.
You are the clever one.
I really enjoyed the tiktechno trick that John didead. I am an amateur magician and I used to do A 4- 50 cent pieces trick with 4 cards moving them under the guise of the cards. I'm getting older now and I forgot the moves. Can you please do it notorial on this particular trick? Thank you
My dad fooled around with magic a bit, and when I was about 11 years old I took a magic class at a local YMCA. The tricks were pretty much standard gimmicks but the guy would perform them first and did them perfectly, then he'd show how it was done and various members of the class might get a copy of the gimmick to take home and mess with our parents and siblings. I remember once dealing a poker hand from a cut deck and when I looked at my hand, it was 5 of a kind. Literally... 5 copies of the 5 of diamonds. I just thought it was some old deck of cards my dad had. This was at the time the "TV Magic" deck was being advertised all the time. But mine was better because the ringer card was 5 of diamonds instead of ace of spades, which was too obvious. Anyway in a matter of minutes I could reproduce everything from the commercial easily. I also had a stripper deck. Someone had to first invent this stuff, and that's where the genius lies because in almost any magic show the props are fairly simple, ordinary objects that have to pass at least basic scrutiny. Used to be a magic store nearby, I'm sure it's long gone. There are literally thousands of tricks with gimmicks readily available. It's the ones that don't use the familiar gimmicks or the ones that come out of nowhere that are truly impressive.
I had a "magic block" that would turn a penny into a dime... of course the gimmick was the penny, not the block. While trying to bamboozle my brother with this for the first time, my dad says "Is it a hollow penny??" I wanted to smack him....
Dynamo levitation with magnet is not correct. This is impossible .
Agreed, stating magnets are used is just dumb, He would have been flopping all over the place. Hacksmith did a video showing how fast the magnets would have to spin and super cooled in order to maintain balance.
No it is definitely real, I have seen it on TV
@@nedread6700 we're not denying if the trick is real or not. We're just saying magnets can't be used to perform this trick.
@@anmol3 Woosh!!!!
Not to mention the amount how dangerous it would be to use such a crazy strong electromagnet in the middle of a crowd like that. And to do it that stable. No it's not a magnet. It's probably just as it always is in these cases: wires and a bought crowd. Or heck, I'll even say it's more likely that it's aliens than magnets.
I'm baffled FF (who use to be pretty smart about things) came up with such a stupid idea..... Like, what the hell guys??
I have just one question if every magic trick has an cheating method did real magic have in this world or everything or fake or what can anyone please explain me ✨
Bro ofcourse there is no real magic in this world.. people only decieve audience's eyes with a slight of hand.. that's all
@Simple Channel bro he is asking about magic.. dangerous acts like escaping or doing stunts are purely skills.. they are not magic.. nor illusion.m
Life is weird magic all the way
Real magic, yes. Hard to find.
Well... if you put your pole inside a hole, a baby pops out 9 months later. That's kinda magical.
Tell me how *Jon Dorenbos* does his card tricks?
He's Amazing!!
All Chris Angel's "magics" involves having at least 1000 stooges.
He's also a dick in real life
It's not really even magic then, its a show with special effects.
@@stephenh5944 As long as he makes money he will keep fooling people with it.
he's been doing this for his entire career.
Stooges + camera edits
I mean this is basically the same method as anyone who just bought a camcorder 30 years ago would have thought of doing it.
Spectators pretending not to see a giant crane and whatnot.
The Vanishing Pen Trick,. How does it work?
For the levitation at the end, I'm sure there's a crane with a couple of wires connected to the magician. The people in the video are in on it.
I once went to a magic school to learn, of course magic.
The principal asked me what kind?
I told him that I wanted to create $100 bill out of thin air.
He replied that if he knew how to do that, he won't be running a magic school.
Finally, he showed me the door.
Did you say "I've seen a door before. Can you show me something a bit more magical?"
I have witnessed magicians reaching through glass or car windows to grab things inside and pull them out. I have never been able to figure out how that is done.
Greetings from Germany.
Fantastic explanations. I would love an explanation on a trick that Penn and Teller did on their show with 3 mugs and a fig newton. They did the trick to two other magicians, 1 being the magic dragon and another very famous magician whose name escapes me right now. I believe it's a math trick but for the life of me and a few fellow magicians could not figure it out. Thank you in advance. An amateur magician for forty years.
So beautiful so nice video thanks for you brother
Most of this is speculation by the video poster, not actual a "revealing of the trick" by someone who actually knows how they are done.
On the Dynamo trick, the way his shirt is sitting at 22:45 is pretty much evidence of a harness. The mechanism isn't in his shoes if he takes off his shirt prior to the trick, then wears it during the trick. His simply being lifted. Likely the crane is right behind the camera.
at 24:46 you can clearly see the rod, just visible under the (virtual)armpit, along the (not there)man's blue shirt. Its even hinged at the hight of the pictured belt (no,no "bag" diagonal orso of thus man, who probably is "shopped in" afterworths: depth perception is way off (is he in front or after D?) and in previous seconds the complete blue-shirt-man isn't even visible). Who clearly is visible: the guy in white shirt just in front of camera and blocking the view (not by change). At least double shots taken here: woman-friend of white-shirt-guy had time to lift sunglasses between shots. So, its visible and indeed. And no magnets. To lift more than 1m orso would take the energy of dozends of reaeaeaeally big dynamo's 😊
@@benbos6625 In other words, the trick is identical to the way it is done on stages around the world, simply using people in place of a curtain or other coverup/
6:17 that walk behind the box really let the zombie out of the bag. you can clearly see the latch and seams along the back.
Thanks for taking the effort in revealing the magic tricks. I always loved magic. I love even more how the tricks are done. I feel most of the tricks with crowd, they are not random. They are already paid to be in the magic.
The woman who floated on sword already had a supporting strip inside her back. The magician just screwed the modified sword in her the back.
The guy who floated is fake. We could never see his shoes floating. It was a publicity stunt. Not a magic trick.
I'm confused by your comment, the video just explained how the woman floated on a sword, how the guy floated in air and how the audience is in on the trick.
If magnets can do this, where the heck are our hoverboards damnittt!!
I dont know what it was, but it wasnt magnets. Look at 22:47. He is clearly wearing a body harness. His hips and the middle of his torso have an usual ridge around them. Also while levitating, his legs and feet dont even move a fraction of an inch. Even if those were magnetic boots, there is no way he could keep still or even upright. Not to mention a magnet strong enough to lift a man several feet off the ground has to be very strong. Bystanders would feel it.
Those all seem plausible except the mag lev part. IT seems like the force from the shoes would be difficult to recover or dampen a perturbation, like just a muscle twitch. I am going to research it more.
Please explain how the magician makes the glasses appear as though they're made of metal
23:00 Look the man to the left. He is not pointing his phone at Dynamo but at the crew filming the magic trick. He sees something we dont see.
I really don't want to know how a trick is done ... that takes the fun and mystery out of the tricks,.
Do Danny ortiz trick on pen and teller or any of his tricks , hands down best magician
He's amazing! There's a video of him talking with another magician about that episode and how Donny Osmond almost ruined it when he grabbed the deck at the start. I've purchased a couple of his tutorials and that routine is a brilliant combination of a lot of his material, mixed with "just having fun" lol if you like that, look up Juan Tamariz (his teacher) and Markobi (who won FISM 2022) its so chaotic, funny and pure sleight of hand. Love it
4:30 which film is this? 😮
Shawshank Redemption
Thanks for the reveals. Could you kindly explain the spinning playing card trick by the Japanese contestant on one the ...has got talent shows.
its call " spider wire" magicians use it, its so this, you cant see it > look it up, ive used it before, during card tricks
24:24 but how could he hold Balance, when he only had magnetic shoes
Welcome back
so well made....so fun to know..!!
Can you reveal and the witch from britains got talent
How to change Cloth . In Second in this show . Please explain
I liked watching a video of Penn and Teller showing how the cups and ball trick was done 10+ years ago, with clear cups, which was Finally Revealed on here 3 months ago, as of my first time viewing this video which was made available in Sep. 23, 2022. I'm glad it was Finally Revealed though, because I had wondered how the trick was done when I watched the clear cup version back then. Is a trick Finally Revealed when viewers already know how it's done?
I was most impressed by Kramer at the end
Does anybody know what movie the clip of the zombie coming out of the ground is from at 3:45? It’s a zombie head popping up out of the ground it’s like a woman’s head. I’ve been trying to find the movie for years I think it was called “ The Goo Monsters” and the ground would start moving right before the zombies came up out the ground.
love the Cameo by Eva Parcker at 4:54 ...
24:40 to 24:44 you can see the lifting harness pulling up his shirt between the collar and the sleeves. camera cuts as he's coming down at 24:46 the shirt is back flat. Once off the rig his feet aren't shown, and looks to be lowering on a hydraulic platform. 22:47 you can see the rig take his weight and start to lift the shirt, 23:09 you can see there is something under his shirt. I'd have to say all the spectators were in on it. and a crane was placed out of view.
And all this time, I thought the girl was cut in half. 😅😅😅
Just take it in mind that magic is fake ok
The last levitating trick of Dynamo. Using science and physics is quite astonishing rather than decieving eyes of the viewers or spectators or just doing slight of hands.
I don't buy the magnet explanation. For him to levitate that high would require an incredibly strong magnetic field. This would involve massive amounts of electricity. He would need huge cables to carry the enormous amount of current that would be needed to generate such an immense magnetic field. Nope. I don't buy it.
@@debunkosaurus8228 and to addition to that, it would be almost impossible to stay balanced. Anyone can try how well it goes with magnets.
@@NightwishArena That is absolutely correct. Additionally, anyone with metal in their pockets (e.g., car keys) would certainly notice such an intense magnetic field.
@@debunkosaurus8228 I still don't know how he did that, but I'm sure it wasn't magnets or magic, and I could bet my arse that he cannot fly either 😂
That hairdo of Colin Cloud cracks me up 😂
On Pandora's box, when the camera went behind the box, You can see the huge hinge they entered the back of the box from.
How about Mat Franco's performance on Mel B's cellphone?
Dynamo did not use magnetism. Ever try to put two identical poled magnets together? He'd be sliding all over the place. The toys you showed use a top magnet. There is none here.
Though we all no "MAGIC" is not real. What make's it so astonishing isn't the actual trick aka magic, it's the presentation. Depending entirely on presentation, even the simplest trick can be entertaining and that what it's all about.
Also if you've ever seen a convex mirror... you can imagine all kinds of uses for it in a magic show. "It's done with mirrors" - yes, partly anyway. A convex mirror can make a 3d object appear to float out in front of it - but again gotta control that viewing angle.
I think you mean a conCAVE mirror
The second trick in the clip is NOT a 'Pandora's Box'... It's a 'Lament Configuration' (from the Hellraiser series)..!!! :p
cool!
The levitation was quite cool and innovative.
the last one you can literally see the wires pinch his shirt... i doubt there was any magnet stuff happening lol
2:25 he didn’t switch cups. He loaded the cup with the tennis ball.
The Colin dude reminds me of the Shyster Peter Popov!
Don't aggree with the last one. You'd need a massive amount of current / magnetism to lift a fully grown man that high.
...and keep him STABLE hoovering above these magnets without moving his feet.
Thank you for the presentation. Sadly, the music is intollerable.
I don't blame you for not having an explaination as to "Shin Lim's" magic. He has fooled "Penn & Teller" 3 for 3. Won Season 13 on AGT and the following year of "the Champion's".
The one about levitation is my favourite. Thank you guys
I think you're just clutching at straws and guessing how the levitation trick was performed, lol 🌞
Please I wanna figure out how the origami ilusion is done, please
That last one about electromagnetic levitation doesn't quite sit right with me. What was keeping him verticle? He should have been flipped over on his but.
Have you ever seen a magnet float easily above another magnet? No, you haven't, because it just doesn't work that way. The top magnet always gets flipped over to the side.
So I ask you again, based on your electromagnet theory, what was keeping him upright?
make another part of this soon 😀😀😀
sometimes you are so incredibly far off the solution that I wonder how can you be right other times
Penn and teller are extremely accurate yet very wrong on other tricks… not every magician will always know the solution
A neat trick would be fewer commercials!!
I just made an entire bag of Oreos disappear.
that magnetic bit is false. there is no way he was using magnetic energy to levitate.
Do the one where the kid on AGT predicted the color of super hero outfit!
13:21 This is how most media "news" stories are made.
Hi, once I've been in the magicians evening with my daughter and one of them did this:
My daughter was with closed eyes, he touched my nose and she said that he is touching her nose, he touched my hand and she felt that.
After that I closed my eyes and he did the same. He touched her, she felt it and I felt it as well.
I saw this trick many times but can't understand how he did it. May be you can explain this?
What’s the name of that song in the end of the video
hahaha the dynamo one is so funny! people don't understand that this is satire!
Thanks for explaining how Dynamo's levitation was performed. Brilliant use of alien physics.
Too bad the explanation was completely wrong. See the comments above.
@@greg_d that's why he said alien physics... *Insert Sarcasm *
Once the trick is exposed, it's about as "incredible" as a kid on a swing yelling, "Look mom, no hands!"
I think magicians never got enough praise from mom. LOL.
Dynamo is still laughing at the magnetic shoes explanation!
I vaguely recall him building a strange device (with wires inside his trousers) that could tie his shoelaces together "using the power of his mind", but I'm pretty sure he didn't have magnets in his shoes. It seems that he was more likely *pulled* upwards (by a crane or pulley system), not pushed (by magnets, lol).
Oh actually, he was "pushed" upwards, but with a similar mechanism to the one used in the sword-balancing trick. I think he has a metal bar strapped to his leg and it clips into a mechanical pole that lifts him off the ground.
I would like to see the card on the inside
of the window trick
David Blaine does that one.
An off camera stagehand uses double-sided tape to stick a duplicate of the spectator’s forced card to the glass, inside the building.
last ones hokem - Magnito is moving and unbalanced when rising, also the field created is not flat so magneto would have to be spot on to less than a millimetre, Also the magnetic force he would have to carry is huge - a number of car batteries in tandem would be insufficient. Phones and cameras would also be effected

I am mostly a science guy and a comedian. I really enjoyed the last trick (the one about magnets) and the comedian in me really enjoyed "Ghost Girl" admittedly, I had no clue how they were performed, but they make since now.
If you were the science guy you would not believe that the last trick was done with magnets. Have you ever played with magnets?
