livingitupak This show is the worst. There have been so many camera flaws where you can obviously see the "trick". EXAMPLE. The valet with "non entry parking".. when he pushes the car you can see the driver and his arms with a mild blur edit over the windshield. So youd think the person working valet would also notice a person get into the car and drive away.... its all paid actors lol and if t heyre not they are known to roll with the punches. Anything else is all camera edits . I cannot believe michael calls himself a magician even though its all camera edits. He hasnt done 1 trick himself that couldnt be dont without the camera. Horrible show and the producer is knwon for buying actors and stand ins for his show.
camoeagle Cameras cut off on spots so you do not see the whole trick. Certain angles are only allowed to be seen so that you do not get the whole view of the room. And please, I do not believe that all the people on the show are that gullible. You can see how he does a lot of it. Do not waste your time watching this.
briane01876 Me and my grandmother watch it all the time it is one of our favorite shows. No swearing (just beeps), nothing sexual, no blood and gore, just nothing but good laughs, surprises and things that make you wonder.Yes the camera doesn't show u the part where he swaps what he's holding for the identical object but one with modifications from under the counter he's standing in front of. But why the @#$% would they? That would ruin the trick? What don't you people understand.And the reason u don't see the inner workings of the tricks... is because the people he's fooling don't see it either. So it helps immerse you in the experience.And no they marks not paid actors, they are real people thinking they are signing up for a job or class, or etc., etc. The type of person who thinks the marks are paid actors are the types of people who whine and complain that the Superbowl is fixed. You can't have that many people keep that big a secret u conspiracy theory dumbies.So do like me and my grandma do and enjoy the darn show :D
Jason Kolman David Blaine did it much better. Blaine's initial Street Magic videos showcased practical magic that could be performed in the audience's hand. Having experience with this myself, I know the reactions Blaine got were genuine. Blaine used editing on his show, but it was to enhance what the television viewer saw, while the reactions from those in attendance to the unedited illusion was real.This show is ALL editing and camera-work. I don't believe the audience reactions for a minute. Perform these illusions live and I'd be impressed, but I'm not seeing anything that I couldn't do with a camera and a good software program.That being said, it's worth watching because it is entertaining in moderation.
