Does magic make us stupid?
Why do magicians think just because they are doing sleight of hand that they can get away with it when it obviously looks like shit? Does something go off in their brains that say “Oh, that looks perfect! The illusion is complete.” Looking back now, I can see how horrible I was younger but yet easily blinded to it. Its like someone new to using Photoshop who would basically put all the filters known to man onto one photo and parade it around like some masterpiece.
I strongly believe in order to break this “spell”, you have to go out and perform for the real world. They are the real judges. All those Youtube magicians get no feedback and even if they do, they don’t listen.
Below is an excellent example of this phenomenon. Be warned, the spell has taken over this kid greatly.
Does this kid really think he fools anyone? Why does he publish this onto You-tube? Why does he even film it? This stupidity is what ruins magic as an art. Knowing the method does not mean you have mastery over it. The only reason I think the performance is bare able is because I really do think this person has serious arthritis, the mental toughness of a 3rd grader, and Arachibutyrophobia.
cool music. does it use an expanded sh*ll?
I wonder if that was a pratt comment.
That ‘ShazzAAAM!!” move he does at 00.14 is fucking awesome. Somebody get me this guy’s contact info, that’s the secret to magic right there.

Haha I remember this video. I don’t even know what the effect is.
This is wonderful. I haven’t laughed this hard for a long time.
Wow this trick is god awful!
Wow this trick is god awful!
There are a LOT of people unhappy about this video.
Word on the street is this was supposed to be a new Ellusionist release; In your FACE coin Attack!!!1!!11, but it was leaked early. The person in the video, obviously, is Daniel Garcia, and this was shot in HD- but one of the camera men’s moms was there, and she filmed it with her video phone.
Instead Daniel will be coming out with Slip, Slink, Slap, a sequel to his latest release (which has a name SO ridiculous it can’t be made fun of).
Dicktated but not read.
