This show never ruined magic for me. I actually have even more appreciation for them knowing just how intricate and carefully choreographed they are. I’ve always been one who didn’t believe in magic. I knew it was fake and I would spend a lot of time trying to figure out how it was done and a lot of times I was right. A lot of times it’s common sense if you just look at all the facts. If the magician is waving his hands gesturing me to look somewhere I would always look somewhere else because that’s where the real magic is happening. This show also showed me just how much work the “assistants” do. A lot of the time they’re doing 95% of the “magic” and the magician is just waving his hands and taking the credit. The assistants deserve so much more recognition and appreciation

He took an oath, he violated that oath for money. He revealed secrets that weren't his to reveal. If he didn't think what he was doing was wrong why did he wear a Mask and hide his identity?

What stands distinguished this magic show from the rest? It is the fact that it does not only unfold the magic secret which is usually a taboo ( that's why he wears the mask? ) but also we could enjoy & admire its entirety without being interrupted the continuity by those ads.,,,,,My heartfelt gratitude to you for that.

It's usually the assistants that perform a lot of the actual work or 'magic.' They deserve more credit than they get in these shows.

The early episodes really overdid it with the camera angles and edits and spookiness, I appreciate how the later episodes were more stripped back. But I sure do love the whole series!

Yes he got sued over it, but of course it was dismissed as you can't copyright an optical illusion. It was the one that made it look like the assistant was impaled but it's actually a tip of a spike under her dress

After seeing the body stretcher trick all I could think about on the haunted house trick was that there were 2 tiny assistance hiding behind the back doors

I’m still calling Scully and Mulder

this show just revealed itself in my memory bank

My high admiration & kudos upon the people who come up w/ those ideas, the engineers who create those devices, & a performer or magician who acts as if there is nothing to it!!! I almost forgot to say my appreciation to those lovely assistants of the magician. By virtue of them all concerned, we are able to enjoy, admire, & appreciate them at the opulent comfort of our residence. (12/17/23)

Nice magic Good work Thanks 🙏

23:11 I set partially this one. I knew that the radio was stuck to the tray, but I didn't know that were necessary 2 plastic rods to make the cloth have the radio shape.

In the first trick, as the lady plays around with the rope, imagine if she accidentally pulls too hard and the spikes fall before the magician is in place. Also, from the camera angle, it seems that the magician should be hit by one of the spikes from where he was hiding.

Other magicians must just love this guy.

Still love to see magic tricks but I always want to know how they did it. Doesn't ruin it for me. Still cool!

Totally awesome I kind of knew what happened with some of the tricks but it's still awesome just awsome it Will not ruin magic for me 😂😂

The bed of spikes is dangerous I counted from when the curtains is fully closed to when the spikes fall 12 seconds, that's how quick you need to get to the safe spot, plus it's a small area, and there's no way the assistant will know if the magician is in the safe spot due to the curtains.

very good

Longtime coming, but I would bet these tricks were filmed on mostly the same days, at least a couple a day. So it wouldn’t make sense for a costume change mid filming just because they aren’t visible in this particular trick

What was the cue for the guy hiding behind the wheel to move the knives? He can’t see the magician fake the throw.

You don't need to lie about the high quality.

I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the magician is not always the same man. In the last three episodes I watched, he was a heavier set man with a belly, and he had the coloration in his hands of a light skin black man. This guy is definitely not that same guy. He is more agile, a flat stomach, in shape, and I believe, white. These episodes have different magician's to carry out different tricks.

No it is actually done like that... It would be near impossible to hit every target perfectly... there is always another person hiding behind the target putting the knifes, axes, or darts or whatever object through.

Reminds me of the phrase from "Now You See Me": the closer you look, the less you see.

It's funny -- I can usually figure out the big illusions, yet that stupid simple radio trick fooled me. Damn!

Sure doll houses depending on the size, the materials used, time to build for someone the 'houses' can get pricey. BUT !! If it's just for fun and not for a 'pricey display', then use use what you have on hand, card board, tape, clay, you can use light made easy to cut boards found in hobby shops. You can put lighting in your model, you get at hobby stores. Put tthe copper strips around above your baseboards, up to and across the ceiling, then put very thin doll 'wallpaper' on the walls to cover the strips then buy the lights you can plug the lamps into anywhere along where your hidden copper strips are and you hide the small powerpack. You can have fun projects with your kids, or by yourself, if you can dream it up, you'll find ways to build your own special home or building. It isn't rocket science, just have fun doing it. I've made all kinds of buildings and homes. From the very detailed, on the pricey side, to kids doll houses, train modle buildings and the hardest one I ever do was Lizzy Borden's house. Heck some folks pay ALOT for just a single room ! But with planing and depending on the stuff you plan on building it with, it doesn't have to cost a small fortune to build a fun doll house.

the narrator sounds sooo depressed

Hopefully the assistant was in on the dagger trick. If not, she would've been freaking out.

Anybody notice that in this third edition the magician is wearing gloves, something he didn't do in the first 2 specials. People were probably guessing who he was by looking at his hands. All they needed to do though was check the names of the producers bc his name was listed in the closing credits(Not in this edition).
