Obviously, when he dropped the head, that was done on purpose to divert the audiences' attention from the box while the real guy switched places with the dummy.
the real guy would be in the back of the box behind a secret panel, the box is deep enough... during the change from fake guy to real guy the magician completely blocks our view of the box with the fabric and his body, giving plenty of opportunity to move a panel and reveal the real midget
In the world , No one is a real magic .. but we can judge their performance .... Trick is normal but Performance , characters and timing is very best ! love it.
The trick is simple, the little man changed place with the dummy, when the magician was puting the head back on. Becasue of his size, he covered the whole box.
Yeah, he fooled everyone thinking it was a mistake but it was all part of the act. In show business, there's a lot to be said for the element of surprise!
Normally dropping a prop would get a buzzer but since the judges knew in advance this was one of the professionals paid to be a contestant they were just sitting there acting as if this was all new to them.
I agree with you,but I have to give credit to that magician,because all the distractions became obvious until the little man started to walk,so nobody was expecting that,that's why I liked the trick a lot
Same sign, opposite side is just different for comedic purposes. There is a secret door that isn't visible, every time he approaches the box, he is signaling the man inside to do a certain step towards fulfilling the illusion since the man can not see nor receive verbal signal from the magician. It's a very easy trick but the showmanship is where the magic lies.
Revelation: This little man was hidden in a secret place inside that magician box. Notice when the magician didn't follow the head in order to cover up the swap between the custom and the little man at 1:22. With the great misdirection by the head falling off, The swap had already taken place at 1:30. However, From that point and on, he used his poster to cover up the head region of the little man. Last step, he put the head in a secret place in the box hiding that up with his body. Then, BANG.
Yep, just like how he does the coin trick in the beginning (You see it between his thumb and finger on his left hand, then throws in up in the air and catches it)
Look in the split second between 1:28 and 1:29 when he puts the poster on top of the box, there's no head there. Either they have a really custom cut curtain or that wasn't what happened during the cover-up of the box. It's much more likely the switch happened when he carelessly toss the head up in the air, because he both cover the entire box for a time, it distracts the audience and we never see the doll without a head afterwards.
The Small Human Chaplin is inside behind a black curtain. The Small Human Chaplin is wearing a thin shirt. The magician places the pants and suit inside which is on a plastic shell with an opening in the back. The dropped head allows small human chaplin to enter the plastic shell, head still behind curtain. He replaces dropped head on body. Gets in front of box. Small Guy replaces mannequin head behind curtain. His head appears. Ta-Da. Magic. TL:DR- Midget is always inside. Gets in shell.
all he did was distract the judges by dropping the head then putting the poster over the box so that the cant see the little person then he got in font of the box so that the little person can switch the head into a secret compartment
That's pretty easy to figure out, if you don't want to know do not read on. While the head rolled off and everyone was distracted the fake was switched and the man hid his head under his shirt when the magician put his hand over the head they removed and the man's head went back up. Yes, ta da indeed very well performed!
What I think happened is that the man was already in the box wearing a full black suit that cosplayers use to look like slender-man and all the pieces were like a mask, and to make the head seem real the back of the head was collapsible or it slipped on over onto his head.
The little guy was hiding inside the door of the box, the poster provided cover from the guy to open the secret compartment and switch places OR the inside of the box had a false back.
the head falling wasn't an accident. what he did was he distracted the audience with it while the midget in the box (the real one) found a way to switch places with the fake one (this is happening in about 1:25, when he covers the entire body). after that, he covers just the head so it seems theres no head in there, but there actually is, and its a real one. so he just acts like he puts the head on the doll when actually leaves it in an unseeable corner inside the box.
When he walked out... we all saw that coming, really, didn't we? Look how deep that box is from front to back. The magician spent a REALLY long time covering the box opening with his body and that flag thing. Plenty of time for the shorter man to switch himself with the dummy body. Still, some fun good old-fashioned magic.
the dummy and the real guy switched while we focused on the rolling head. Then he sticks the dummy head in the back behind the real guy. Easy as you like. It's all about keeping us thinking about other things and this guys a natural at it
it was so badly done actually, the way he dropped the head and distracted the audience so that the real dwarf would position himself, and then he put that paper map over his head to cover it.
Thats what she said? The box is bigger than what it appears. Theres more than enough room for that person to store himself behind a black cloth and make the switch unnoticed when the view is blocked.
Anything looks like magic in 240p cause you can't tell what's going on anyway...
Dammit I was gunna make that joke.
If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video I'd have one dollar
Jesse Pinkman you forgot to add bitch at the end of your sentence
+CIA If I had a dollar for every whole value of your IQ I'd have one dollar
This video was made in 2008.
Just hit the "enhance" button
Actually you would have 76800 dollars because the video is 240p, which means 320x240 which equals with 76800..
Do your math scrub..
i know this was a joke, but u should realize that this video is really old
i hate people like u who complains about video quality
I wish every video was this quality it looks so clear
At 20 seconds, I already love this guy.
Obviously, when he dropped the head, that was done on purpose to divert the audiences' attention from the box while the real guy switched places with the dummy.
The video recorder must have been from the same age as his grandmother's iPod.
HAHAHAHAH xD
😂😂😂
This was kind of obvious how it was done. VERY obvious.
the real guy would be in the back of the box behind a secret panel, the box is deep enough... during the change from fake guy to real guy the magician completely blocks our view of the box with the fabric and his body, giving plenty of opportunity to move a panel and reveal the real midget
Rainbow Dash thanks for i had know idea before you said it
Chibi Purrito blame the guy who demanded I explain!
Know idea? Lol l2spell
Rainbow Dash Whether or not this is the real thing on how it is done etc, never explain how a trick is done.....
he's in the broadway show the Illusionists now! good to see everything worked out for him
At 1:28 he touches the banner twice with his cane, probably the sign for the guy inside the box to get ready.
The song fits the video quality.
In the world , No one is a real magic .. but we can judge their performance .... Trick is normal but Performance , characters and timing is very best ! love it.
Aw the little dude is so cute!
He'd be an even better magician if he could our national debt disappear...
The trick is simple, the little man changed place with the dummy,
when the magician was puting the head back on.
Becasue of his size, he covered the whole box.
*whole
2:11 , that is the cutest little dance i've ever seen in my life
Sometimes the simplest tricks turn out to be the best. That was well played, here I was expecting a full size woman to appear!
So... he had a small guy behind the false partition in the box? Not a difficult trick to figure out.
But it makes it look real and impossible which is magic
skids462
Doesn't look real OR impossible to me, just like a bad trick.
20alphabet if u were there, ur attention would go to the head that fell, this guy knew timing and fooled everyone by making them think he was bad.
Gevoian
Quite a presumptuous twit, aren't you?
Hey guys :3 JUST SHUT UP ENJOY THE MAGIC AND DON'T RUIN IT!! Thank you that is all :3
First video which I've come across in all these years, has more than 10 million views and no dislikes. Respect!
Yeah, he fooled everyone thinking it was a mistake but it was all part of the act. In show business, there's a lot to be said for the element of surprise!
Why was is recorded on a calculator
one of the cheapest tricks i ever saw on yt
sarcastic title
This was his first trick for the show.
Obviously saving the advanced stuff for the near-finals.
Normally dropping a prop would get a buzzer but since the judges knew in advance this was one of the professionals paid to be a contestant they were just sitting there acting as if this was all new to them.
That an amazing magic trick! I watched this more than 20 times!
The head falling off was an excellent example of misdirection.
I love the trick where they cut the guy in half in the operating room scene. Man!
"Poor man, he dropped his head!" isn't a phrase you hear often.
pretty dam good. always nice to see new talent.
His placing of the poster over where the head was missing gave it away i think
I agree with you,but I have to give credit to that magician,because all the distractions became obvious until the little man started to walk,so nobody was expecting that,that's why I liked the trick a lot
Am I the only one that when the Dwarf came alive, I fell out of my chair screaming "Kill it"?
The switch comes when he puts the "ad" over the trunk. You notice it goes from saying "the chaplin" to "for sale"?
Don't worry guys. I was talking to physics and he said he'll be releasing a patch for the universe in a maintenance in approx. 20 years.
I can do that. Hold my beer.
If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, I would have 25 cents.
Same sign, opposite side is just different for comedic purposes.

Talk about heads rolling from laughter.
Good job.
Very nicely done guys
the falling head was just a distraction lol
You are right, 19 is too soon to have a sword of any kind in her face.
its not bullshit. its magic TRICK. its clever and entertaining.
it is not about how people knows how its done, but how the person perform it. which you can never do better.
How can you grow out of magic? I love magic
David Hasselhoff: This calls for a drink
Revelation: This little man was hidden in a secret place inside that magician box.

Wow, from king of queens to this.
i dont know about how amazing that was the turn was pretty obvious
*giggle* love this!
they are not magicians, they are gods.
and the magician clealy covers his closet with that chaplin banner and doesnt move for quite a while, while cameras move to show laughing judges
Wow, I probably wouldn't have ever noticed that. Thanks!
The box is deeper and there's a black sheet , notice that he put the poster above where the head would be when he "dropped it"
His body got in the way which led to the lil man to come through the other side of the box
That guy is awesome.
He's amazing
WOW he's from Jonesville Michigan! Im from Hillsdale and dang I think I remember seeing this guy before.
Yep, just like how he does the coin trick in the beginning (You see it between his thumb and finger on his left hand, then throws in up in the air and catches it)
He came out from the suit case's door.
The Hoff looked like a kid in a candy store. :>
144p 'STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM, and im still here...'

240 allready !!! it`s our victory !!! Congratz Guys !!! Let`s have some party !!!
I burst out laughing when this woman started speaking 2:20.
these are the most stereotypical American sounding judges ever.
Funny because the lady is British.
+Homing Joker and so is Piers
When he puts the head on the doll, I know he is doin something, probably switching to the real person.
Absolute perfection!
Well it's his brother... You always gotta forgive family haha
distraction is one of the most important things in magic :)
That was also my grandmother's codec conversion
Everyone thinks he dropped it on purpose hes like oh thank god
The Small Human Chaplin is inside behind a black curtain. The Small Human Chaplin is wearing a thin shirt.

And the bad thing is 20 people agreed...
i remember watching this on tv.
if i had a dollar for every pixel in this video i'd have a nickel
That's pretty easy to figure out, if you don't want to know do not read on.

that was actually pretty cool lol
LOL at Jerry at the end!
i would be so freaked out if i was the girl who brought up the head

Oh shit, he just got told by the American Eagle!
When the head falls it is a distraction. While everyone is paying attentiong to the rolling head the small guy switches places.
When the fall of the head and the back of the doll disappeared Dwarf
When he walked out... we all saw that coming, really, didn't we? Look how deep that box is from front to back. The magician spent a REALLY long time covering the box opening with his body and that flag thing. Plenty of time for the shorter man to switch himself with the dummy body. Still, some fun good old-fashioned magic.
the box probably had a hidden compartment, like in the prestige
Wow wow wow....!!! I am amazed....!!!!
if i had a dollar for every pixel in this video i would have $999,999,999,999
1:15 look his hand
1:29 look his hand now
MAGIC
I knew it....rogue gnomes are real.....but I was expecting a pink mohawk
Very clever. I liked it.
the dummy and the real guy switched while we focused on the rolling head. Then he sticks the dummy head in the back behind the real guy. Easy as you like. It's all about keeping us thinking about other things and this guys a natural at it
THAT IPOD IS LIKE THE IPHONE 24
it was so badly done actually, the way he dropped the head and distracted the audience so that the real dwarf would position himself, and then he put that paper map over his head to cover it.
loved all the :O faces
So you're brother was a lunatic?
This isn't a warning against calling magicians fake, it's a warning about going to see magicians who will wig out.
Thats what she said?
The box is bigger than what it appears. Theres more than enough room for that person to store himself behind a black cloth and make the switch unnoticed when the view is blocked.
I'm waiting for yours ''How's the magic done" video smart boy..
