[00:15] work these dresses fold on it's absolutely incredible the way that they dresses you're going to learn some cool dresses you're going to learn some cool secrets of magic here like this
[00:32] and that pole it looks like it's going to do something that it should not do but it's actually on a spring now on this one my favorite part of this video is the blond's reaction so my blonde friend her name is MC uh watch her
[00:45] reaction to this this thing's about to go a little bit turn are you okay when I rotate that releases it and oh my good oh do we need
[01:02] didn't need to go to the hospital on that one but that's a crazy trick now that one but that's a crazy trick now this is an old uh prank box but usually small and you can have like a little mouse or a little spider they're usually
[01:16] like only two inches big so I had a carpenter here in Las Vegas build us a giant one and uh we didn't know what to put on the thing to make it pop out turns out the scariest thing is actually just a wig so my my wife is in the
[01:30] background and all I need her to do is pull this thing open and it creates a really cool effect watch the way this guy pops out yeah no just you'll see go for it a little bit yeah there you go oh my god when a hair like that shoots out
[01:46] of nowhere that looks crazy now this is an old magic prop it looks like a fake thumb but check these thumbs out they light up just with pressure it's actually on a button and so the idea was to make up a fake invention well there's
[02:03] this new thing now where if they go out you don't have to buy a replacement bulb you can take the light from one bulb and move it to the other where some of the pretend like you're showing them a magic
[02:15] trick you say this is actually a real piece of technology uh so I've got the fake thumb on me and uh my buddy Blake he's got a fake thumb right here look this ready I don't understand that's happening two watch this ready and catch
[02:31] the cool thing is is technology is so amazing these days uh it's actually kind of believable that you could like pull lights off of something like this uh but you can actually buy these fake thumbs that have lights in them it's a it's a
[02:45] cool prop friendly dragon he can look this way over here this optical illusion is awesome that's not moving at allbody look at that look it's just a it's an optical thing because uh you're looking into a box so it looks like it moves
[03:00] into a box so it looks like it moves around now this is one of my favorites okay uh so that's Joselyn and she's getting into this uh what looks like a I small box from this perspective but actually it's supposed to look like a a
[03:17] table or a platform but this door can close completely and that little weird leopard print or zebra print on the side that kind of camouflages the trap now I
[03:29] needed a reason usually when magicians would do this they just do it as an appearing girl I told my friend adley that this was a toy box and I purposefully have her lift up the blanket over her eyes to put it over I
[03:42] blanket over her eyes to put it over I knock on the table which tells Joselyn I can't see from her perspective she has no idea that it's in there and then she doesn't know what I'm doing she looks pretty confused until
[03:57] pretty confused until what my God also I had her wear like a weird mask in there just to make it uh especially weird so now this is a Cool especially weird so now this is a Cool Secret uh magicians and thieves are
[04:09] oftentimes related you know pickpockets use a lot of magic props in order to do their pickpocket work well this is more of a secret of burglars or thieves and how they might get into a locked hotel room if the dead if that uh swinging
[04:24] lock is closed so all you need is a rubber band and some duct tape and you can get into a hotel room like this this is actually pretty brilliant uh so now watch what she's doing here she's going to put that duct tape in the loop now it
[04:39] helps if you have tiny hands like she does cuz she's got to push that all the way in as far as possible she wants that tension to be on the rubber band that that second piece of duct tape is to add even more tension to the rubber band now
[04:53] watch what that does what that rubber band will actually pull it there and then you can tape it like this uh so good way to keep it because as you can see now it stays like that forever now
[05:10] see now it stays like that forever now here's a cool old Hollywood prop uh now this one is actually pretty neat all you need is a knife that has a little half circle cut out in it and then if you push that up against your skin it will
[05:22] look like the knife is going through your skin right we've all seen the old arrow through the head prop uh that kind of is the same concept but what's cool about this knife is it has this bulb in the back that you can fill with uh you
[05:36] know red stuff to look like the knife is really doing some damage here uh so my wife is in the background and this knife also can slide back and forth so it can
[05:48] also can slide back and forth so it can hide that thing oh my God oh my God okay you have to pull it out oh no absolutely ridiculous but pretty fun uh the way it looks and I blow it off just by pulling it out
[06:02] I blow it off just by pulling it out watch three oh gosh oh yeah yeah that video made a lot of people angry but uh not as much as this one uh putting a baby in a box is not a great way to start a video if you want people to like
[06:14] whatever you're doing but it's just a trick fake baby fake flat baby and let me show you how this box works it looks empty but we just put a baby in it well that's becauseit there's a mirror in the box
[06:28] that reflects the bottom of it so it looks empty now here's another one you can actually try this one at home just with some tape and I took a pencil snapped it in half and I tape it sticking out of each half uh actually uh
[06:44] so the important thing here you don't want whoever you're showing this to to see this thing now luckily uh when there's cameras rolling it's easy to get people to not pay attention uh but I made little paper tubes I got little red
[06:58] Solo cups so I know where the pencil is okay I'm making it seem like they're going to be mixed up or whatever but remember I have half of a pencil sticking out of my palm with ketchup making it look gory and
[07:12] with ketchup making it look gory and terrible watch my hand down on it as hard as I can uh that one just pretend like I'm going to stab it I'm going to make it her fault wait wait stop changing your mind remember she can't
[07:24] see what's behind her oh now here's the thing instantly they will know exactly how that thing is done but this one this one's a slower burn uh so I'm pretending like I'm stapling stuff oh babe I'm in my workshop in the
[07:42] garage check this out that uh that's a that's not a staple that's sticking out it's a nail with a spot where I can slide my finger but this is how the brain sometimes works you you you're so concentrated on what you have to do you
[07:56] completely Miss pull my hand out use both hands cuz little bit further down there down there B it's going to hurt no no no you're going to need to go down down right watch when she gets it I'm trying no
[08:10] noing she's going to get it right there I'm trying right there I'm trying right there tight it's slowly
[08:22] clicking right there it's so silly okay let me show you there it's so silly okay let me show you an incredible Secret these wine bottles look like regular wine bottles but look that's three of them just went on top of
[08:35] each other because they're completely Hollow and decorated like this now this Hollow and decorated like this now this is a classic magic trick uh but now you guys are in on the secret there's a glass in a bottle you snap your fingers
[08:48] and they switch places now how are they switching places inside that tube I'm actually with my middle fingers I'm grabbing the bottle and I'm switching pretty cool effect watch again one more time one more time oh sorry wait can I
[09:05] no this I I had two extra bottles that time okay the second time there's two glasses but you can switch them that quickly happens really fast it's an extra bottle it's so silly uh the thing is you
[09:19] can't actually do that trick that close up but here's one that you can uh now this is just some eye candy What's Happening Here uh this is kind of like a Happening Here uh this is kind of like a little short sketch here um with that's
[09:34] little short sketch here um with that's my friend Allison and she's on her phone she's not as important to this what's more important is the incredible visual that a mirror can give you if you cut a hole in one of your hoodies so that you
[09:46] can stick your head out your chest pop a balloon right there in the hood actually don't pop it yet the mirror is reflecting my leg and it actually looks
[09:58] like uh like you it looks like my head is gone the what you guys know is actually my head now watch this I with my other hand I'm going to pop the balloon and it looks like my head goes away magicians will use mirrors like
[10:14] that in a box this magician shows the secret to the arm trick here's another great one okay it looks like two blades can go right through my arm watch how good this looks and the secret is actually pretty easy you just can't do
[10:27] this trick with anyone yes it's just like you okay yeah it's one of those sorts of things now here's one you can make uh you don't have to make it in a Walmart by the way I did buy these Pringles okay I'm not just destroying
[10:40] Pringles here in a Walmart but this is one you can make all you have to do is one you can make all you have to do is slice down a Pringles can like this perfect and it doesn't even have to be that nice cuz once you get there you
[10:53] can just kind of rip it off of the can watch this separate it like this and it rips out the glue will actually uh be weak once you've cut it there and now you have a different colored Pringles can see if you line it up perfectly your
[11:09] thumbs are going to do all of the work and you're going to slide that red one back you're going to slide it back at the same time you're going to bring it up to your mouth to blow now that didn't look good but watch how good it looks
[11:22] look good but watch how good it looks right here you hold it from the back you can spin it and people don't know that it's there it and people don't know that it's there now this is a crazy dining room table
[11:37] that has a secret hiding place for me now these guys really messed with me here and I got totally messed with on this I it's not cool actually what they did but yeah it makes for really funny the bit was supposed to be I'm in there
[11:52] and I'm going to throw the pie into my wife's face uh no it did not go that way wife's face uh no it did not go that way because my buddy Matt uh that's another because my buddy Matt uh that's another comedian in Las Vegas Matt Black he
[12:06] totally exposed me he told my wife that I'm in the table they switched the pie I'm in the table they switched the pie and oh my God there's pie everywhere what the heck what is that I'm celebrating on the inside I think I
[12:20] nailed this thing oh my [Music] [Music] God nope I got you yeah it it wasn't good now here's another one uh this is at a pet store I brought a carrot and a
[12:34] knife into a pet store something it's totally lowed you can do that you can actually bite into a carrot to make it look like a goldfish okay now it doesn't because this thing's going to be moving pretty fast so now watch what you can do
[12:49] so I've got it right there hidden behind my back don't let anyone see it you can to their little fish tank too small right yeah I don't need to grab any actual goldfish I'm just dipping my hand into the water with the carrot and it's
[13:05] going to look like I pop it in my mouth Watch what it looks like and they're so friendly and cute and like everyone says that fish don't make great pets but they are yeah fish make great pets they also make good eating so he opens it up for
[13:17] me no you can't do that sir oh no I can't do that I can't I I'm giving it a little bit of a wiggle right there and then just pop it in the mouth oh my God this is not it okay don't so yeah luckily he didn't
[13:30] call security I just pulled out the carrot now this is a really cool thing because the mirror right there is reflecting my left leg and I can put a this is just kind of for video because you can kind of see the mirror
[13:45] reflection is a little weird but it still tricks your eye and it looks like I'm floating uh now even better than that is this 100y old uh
[13:58] better than that is this 100y old uh prop this is made uh by a prank company from this chair is from 1901 and it takes a bullet uh for real like uh now I've got a blank in there it used to take an even larger shell uh
[14:15] used to take an even larger shell uh like a shotgun siiz shell blank uh So my poor wife is about to uh try this thing out I love collecting antiques so this was an antique that I got uh it's made by a company called The deulin Brothers
[14:27] they made pranks 100 years ago now they make marching band uniforms but watch trigger I don't like surpr I'm pretending like I'm telling her it's going to do something else but uh really it's about to fling her back open your
[14:41] it's about to fling her back open your eyes one two eyes one two 3 hang on it's so loud when it happens uh the back of that chair is like a slide so that it just slowly rolls back
[14:55] which is pretty cool now I completely demolished this cou couch uh because so I had to take out all the inners of the couch so that I could kneel down like the hardest part to find actually mannequins usually come in one piece but
[15:10] look at how good this looks come here come here okay no okay Ally was just getting out of the bathroom uh but right here it actually
[15:22] looks like I'm in one piece you don't know that I'm halfway in the couch everyone should rip apart their old couch and try this out cuz it's just so fun how it looks we call it the Beetle Juice
[15:38] thing I don't care that the legs are stiff and weird but uh yeah it's just trick you can make at home that doesn't fit unless you push it through and then it does go all the way through how does the spoon go through the top of a bottle
[15:54] the bottle is really small it's way bigger than actually go through and go oh here's the secret stop all you need is to cut the back in it and you can see that the back of the bottle was cut so that it could actually fit those things
[16:10] uh now this is another cool magic prop I had this since I was a kid uh it looks like the sword is going to go right through this ring now there's no sword how does that happen so take a look at this sword I'm going to pull it out and
[16:23] this sword I'm going to pull it out and show you this sword is not normal it can show you this sword is not normal it can bend there's a secret channel in this necklace uh that's right it goes around your neck and it can do this uh crazy
[16:37] thing so right there it's going to go into a channel that's going to direct that sword right into her neck so that she can feel it and get scared watch this right there I feel that I feel that are you
[16:52] doing this on now I've switched the sword into the channel that's going to wrap that sword around her neck take a look how this looks look at that look at that it's actually coming you can't see it it's a cool prop now this is another
[17:08] suggest you do all you have to do uh I'll tell you what's up you just put a can a candle inside of a bottle now I've got some water here I'm going to put food coloring in it the food coloring is important just so that you can see the
[17:22] water uh if there's no food coloring you can't see the water I'll shake it up uh but how do you get a candle to stay lit on fire underneath water I'm lying there I said it's a special kind of liquid it is not uh and
[17:38] do it really quickly I want you to see this that water is going to reach the flame and it is not going to put the flame out see if you can figure out how it happens I'm going to show the secret immediately after the water goes over
[17:54] the flame it actually makes the flame look pretty cool while it's underwater boom is it underwater nope it is behind the bottle that's the whole bit one of those things that who look at
[18:07] that this is a cool stunt all you need is a soup can and you can smash your finger n yeah it just happens the Integrity of
[18:19] a soup can can do that okay now uh everyone has a fake foot just get one of your fake feet the cool thing here is not only did we have a foot fake foot for this we cut a hole in the back of her knee okay the little crotch of her
[18:33] leg so her leg could be coming out of that and this couch that my wife has actually split in two so it could keep her leg in between the couch and hide it
[18:45] now I'm pretending that I know acupuncture I think in this one and uh this is Kate uh she's very sweet but she is dumb enough to believe this uh you know bless her bre in and you just Bree OU okay oh wow this fake foot
[19:01] is actually very realistic in person because it's used for tattoo artists to practice uh we blow off the whole stunt just by pulling off the foot in three's no that is amazing there's no look you can see there's no hole Yeah it's it
[19:16] kind of breaks the brain to pull off somebody's foot like that now this is cool this is a build all you need is a cart and a cardboard box and uh and a friend like Joselyn who's willing to uh get in it a little bit of red there
[19:31] which is going to flatten off the jeans okay so see if you can see how this thing's happening her real legs are there she's laying down in the box and uh We've made the jeans look flat on the top so it just looks like
[19:46] top so it just looks like legs bu that for me yeah it's great so now it's supposed to look like we're putting together a mannequin and because the bubble wrap is uh covering her in the Box you wouldn't see her if you open
[20:00] up the box it's very cartoonish uh with the thing walking away from me like this but watch how cool this looks when she pops
[20:13] that angle because she's coming out of the front crotch of the jeans now this is another one you can do okay you don't need to use all the Crazy Fire that's about to happen all you need is ChapStick so I'm writing on my arm in
[20:28] chapstick this is an old magic stunt that you can do now I'm clouding much of the magic trick with other crazy stuff cuz I don't want her just to think uh that there was any sticky stuff on my arm so I wrap it in
[20:43] foil foil is not needed for this the magic trick is actually totally ready to go right now but I want to add fire oh yeah careful don't so I make it seem like it's going to happen because she wrote her name that's a lie it's not
[20:56] going to happen because she wrote her name uh cool thing with a blow torch do not try that at home no look at that get a handful of coffee grounds your hand so now anything will work people have done it with ashes uh from a fireplace or
[21:11] coffee grounds any kind of powder that's dark and the Chapstick will stick to the powder and reveal whatever you wrote on there earlier now this is pretty cool uh a hospital room and you've got some fake legs give this a try I know that's a
[21:26] rare circumstance but see this uh that's Ally she's a dancer so she can do the splits on the end of the bed now it looks good like she's laying on her stomach but her legs are wrapped right now around the front of the bed so it
[21:41] creates this cool illusion we wanted just to film uh this cool illusion uh it's like a song in half but you don't need a secret table to hide the lower half of somebody all you need is the front of the bed it's actually invented
[21:55] by another magician friend of mine Kyle Knight and his wife Misty in here hang on hang on yeah show her show her exactly check this out it's just a really cool illusion but
[22:10] it actually looks great when uh when the legs are split around okay we've got the mirror again this is a great mirror if you cut a stool in half okay hang on hang on hang on hang on if I get this and you put it against the mirror it
[22:24] looks like a whole stool right now this only really works in the camera you can see my legs reflecting but if I sit on both sides of it it's going to reflect one of my legs as if it's both legs and I'm just sitting with my bottom crack
[22:39] it's not comfortable resting right on that mirror and if he pulls the stool away in one it looks like I'm floating on air it's one of those cool things uh with the mirror now that is some fun crazy silly secrets of magic which one
