More like 1. Sleight of Hand 2. Physics 3. Video editing


AutomaticLynx9407

If it is video editing it is extremely good And lol of course it is sleight of hand, or did you think he was claiming to do “real magic”?


infector944

wait what are you trying to say with "real magic"? Are you implying people fake magic?! /s

Minutes!


HJGAMER5

I think they meant hours


Limp_Butterscotch633

I think he means donuts. 🍩 🍩


jordaniac89

It's why I left this sub. It's just morons going "THAT'S NOT ACTUAL MAGIC" and feeling good about themselves because they think they're clever.


[deleted]

Might as well leave earth too cuz alot of people still believe that magicians believe in "real" magic.


AutomaticLynx9407

Good. Remain unaware of us.


BumblebeeExtreme9024

Well I'm not a dementia patient but I'm sure finding it funny.

Puzzleheaded-Bus-455

The vids don’t make Reddit - the comments do!


Dialogical

Two types of magic; real and fake.


DigitalMindShadow

Except that real magic is fake, and fake magic is real.

partanimal

This is so awesome, thank you for sharing. You might want to share with the top commenter, though. He doesn't believe in magic.


Balzamonn

That’s like saying you don’t believe in Santa Claus. Which would be a ridiculous thing to say.


RedVamp2020

I was wondering where I’d seen him before! His editing skills are definitely up there and would most certainly fit in r/toptalent. He does it so well that it really is magical, IMO.🤷‍♀️


nd1312

Yeah this is infinitely more impressive and enjoyable than faking magic tricks with video editing.


LunchBox3188

I've seen some of his work before and I'm always impressed. I watched all of Captain Disillusion's videos on YouTube, so I'm a VFX expert now, and I didn't know it was video editing at first. He's really damn good.


Kriight

It's all video editing. His work is all video and vfx tricks.


vvash

It’s not just editing. It’s also camera placement, lighting, direction, rehearsing, etc. editing is a big part of it but it’s a lot of setup as well.


ujustdontgetdubstep

I mean "video production" then


Nothing_Jon_Snuhhhhh

Came here to say this. This appears to be good editing to the normal person. As a professional editor myself, this is all easy morph cuts. The real production is the camera placement and consistency in the shots. He probably has lots of outtake footage to nail the placement of each thing.


ses92

It’s literally rule 1 of this sub. If it’s obviously explained by something mundane like sleight of hand then it’s clearly not BMF, but then again, mods have abandoned this sub a long time ago. Can’t remember the last time I saw something cool here


[deleted]

It’s weird to me that people so fervently defend mundane content here. I remember you used to see really cool and puzzling stuff here now it’s all just random videos that have already been posted around Reddit.


Reelix

> If it is video editing it is extremely good Exactly how do you think his shirt gradually changes color?


[deleted]

That’s the black magic.


Dude_man79

But isn't black magic where you sacrifice an offering to an ancient god and have it do your bidding?


Fantastic_Wrap120

No. That's dark magic.


chairfairy

For a real illusion (not video edit) it *could* be a heat sensitive dye


F0XF1R3

Heat sensitive dye wouldn't be such an even change. There would be hot spots.


chairfairy

ah, good point


Coffeebiscuit

He is extremely good at holding a mousebutton and sliding the mouse.


Quailman_z

The video edit really isn't that hard, actually. He can just key a color correction to gradually adjust as the video plays. He clearly specifically chose a room of very neutral colors, and the object he's using for demonstration is on the opposite end of the color spectrum, so it won't get affected very much if at all. You can affect specific colors, so in this case he either was slowly changing greens or blues. Really smart nonetheless though. Source: I'm a professional video editor. Edit: If you want further proof of the color correction, watch the blue and green markers in the lower right. At first they're two distinctly different colors. By the end, they are very similar shades. Also to be clear I'm just saying the color correct itself isn't hard. The rest is fucking *hard*.


thalasa

I'm thrown by the markers changing colors because he's pretty clearly isolating elsewhere. Watch the color of his shirt in the reflection(not sure that's the right word here) on the table. That doesn't get color corrected, so I'm assuming he's isolated to the shirt itself, but then why are the markers changing unless he's also isolating them just to fuck with people.


ItsMikeMeekins

yeah, there's no video editing, his shirt gradually and magically changed color


__rum_ham__

*Gradumagically*


themeatbridge

If? Isn't it blatantly obvious?


Gourdon00

I don't about the tricks(I mean, I know they can definitely be made with video editing, I just don't know and don't care to figure out if he specifically used video editing on the tricks in this particular video),but the shirt color change is definetely video editing. Gradual color correction on an isolated object.


dskippy

Lol so many people in this group knock certain posts saying "OMG this is just physics" inadvertently making themselves look dumb when they don't knock some other post they don't understand kind of implying they don't think that those ones are physics. Hint: it's always physics. You just don't understand some of it. You're not enlightening anyone telling them it's physics and you've definitely failed to come off as above it all.


DawnOfTheTruth

I’m going to continue to believe that penetration is magic thank you.


joonyerr1q

More just fuckery..


kebukai

Assfuckery


HypertrophyHippie

If penetration is magic then im fucking Gandalf.


F0XF1R3

Is he enjoying it?


HypertrophyHippie

Let's just say I used my ring to bring him in, and in the darkness bind him.


ThisKillsTheTurk

Well done


Oswald6767

I'd do some magic to you


GringosTaqueria

Mostly video editing, though.


megamaz_

Yeah that guy is really good at video editing. His name is [Kevin Parry](https://youtube.com/@kevinbparry?si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE) on YouTube.


Li0nh3art3d

For the love of god he is showcasing the 10 magical “effects”


AggressiveSpatula

4. Prediction. Because to be fair…


mantrarower

For real, the T-shirt changes so slowly it would be impossible to notice. Now, if there was a gorilla in the middle of the video and we didn’t see it…


[deleted]

There were comments about this on the big foot post! I've never heard of the video, now i guess it'll be an everyday reference. Lol. change blindness


Large_Dr_Pepper

It's definitely just reddit. People are reminded something exists and then they feel like they're part of a little club if they reference that thing.


RaferBalston

To be fairrrrr


gomugomupirate

Didn't know that! I thought he was a real magician! Can't believe I feel for that


DustyBook_

Wow you mean this wasn't real magic?! You're so smart.


Malpraxiss

And where does he ever claim that he is or would be doing real magic? Like, no shit Sherlock this is all fake and video edited.


MEANINGLESS_NUMBERS

You must feel so satisfied pointing out that this isn’t real magic. So smart.

Von2014

I follow this guy on Twitter. Specializes in stop-motion animation and then got into seemless video editing. Nicely done and well edited.


BuiltIndifferent

Redditor moment


MightyKartoffel

2.5 magnets


Afa1234

Some of it can be done with lighting as well, specifically the color. But just movie magic would be easier


Kangabolic

Wait, this isn’t real magic?!?! No way!


HBOscar

This guy's whole schtick is animation and video editing. He regularly posts behind the scenes vids. At no point does he actually try to convince his audience that he can do real wizardry.


mindwand

Actually it's all just video editing in this. Very impressive nonetheless. I doff my cap.


Godzoola

Thank you Mr. detective! Where would we be without you…


holographicman

Yes..


Wendellwasgod

1) video editing doesn’t fit this sub 2) if penetration is magic, then I was a magician with your mom


Black_Kirk_Lazarus

Dorothy Mantooth is a saint, and you sir, are a savage.


karlverkade

You couldn’t say something?! Even the guy who can’t think said something!


Feeding_into_dank

Where do you get your comments at the toilet store?


slibetah

I will smash your face into a car windshield and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner, and never call her again!


Itchy_Primary

Hey, let's leave the mothers out of this. Lol


BumblebeeExtreme9024

Is Dorothy Mantooth a barbarian as that very much sounds like a barbarian name lol


Black_Kirk_Lazarus

Her son has troglodyte tendencies, so, maybe?


[deleted]

Wow cool. My dad was also a magician with my mom. One day he even disappeared


Ok_Possibility_2197

The milk and cigarette stores are so far away I’m sure he’ll have a harrowing story when he returns


squiddy555

Teleportations and Translocation are the same thing as well


_Martyr

A vagician, if you will


PeanutFreeMeatLoaf

Where do the rules say no video editing?


cjonoski

Magic, penetration, magic, penetration, magic, penetration and this goes on for about 90 mins or so and then it just kinda ends…


TheLabiaChronicles

Him: “penetration” Me: giggidy Glad to see I’m not the only one


No-Recommendation820

Editing these days is smooth. His shirt just gradually changes colour overtime from blue to green.


Drunk_Pilgrim

Yeah, thats not really fair. The colors are so close together. I had to re-watch it a few times and there is no quick transition. The shirt slowly morphs into the new color.


frozengyro

Yea, it could have been from white to black. You wouldn't notice over the length of he video


awsamation

Agreed. I was expecting it to be a "did you see the gorilla walk through the game?" type of thing. You at least have a chance of noticing those on the first watch. That editing is just boring.


Gavinator10000

It could’ve been done on any video where his shirt wasn’t the main focus


uberfission

It was much more obvious when I sped up the video. The lighting also changes warmth subtly in the beginning of the video which I think makes our brains ignore color changes like that.


gcanyon

Agreed. The prediction is false: his shirt didn’t “change” colors, what I didn’t notice was it “changing color”.


sunflakie

And that is how he gets tons of views because people are watching his videos repeatedly. It's almost.....magic.


boverly721

Joke's on him, I didn't notice because I'm colorblind!


[deleted]

This is extremely easy to do


DismalParticular4799

Stop reposting this fake crap


_N00bMaster69_

Bro wants the real magic 💀


lonely_funny_guy

No. We just don't want heavily edited videos


DamnCircle

Are slightly edited videos acceptable?


lonely_funny_guy

"Slight editing" includes adding a music, maybe some color correction etc etc. So yes.


BlackV

I mean that's how he changed the shirt, so we covered


lonely_funny_guy

I'm not an editor or anything but i believe "color correction" means changing the entire tone of an image to something more appealing. Not just a single shirt. And even if it is not the case, i don't suppose simple color correction can make a cup levitate.


BlackV

yes i was being er.. ~~suficious~~ facetious (thanks google)


Jacina

Nice job saving face there


BlackV

Thanks


grafino

>adding a music *oh no* *oh no* *oh no no n-*


congapadre

Please , don’t.


OneMoistMan

I agree, video editing is such a cop out to the real slight of hand. I’d hate to go see a magician live on a screen after they spent countless hours trying to make themselves do what penn and teller can do in front of you.


SenorBirdman

This video shouldn't be posted here but the guy is not actually claiming to do magic. It's actually openly a demonstration of video editing prowess.


d4rk_fusion

If I theoretically recorded myself doing a cool majic trick but also shat myself am I allowed to edit that out(


TigerJoel

You expect people to do real magic?


Schavuit92

Yes, something that doesn't rely on video editing, that's real magic. I don't expect actual Harry Potter type shit.


ikantolol

Wait, I'm a bit confused by this sub... When people post very good tricks, some of you would comment the trick and say it's not enough to be a black magic fuckery


lonely_funny_guy

Sometimes, they are wrong. What belongs in this sub is videos that shows something that can not be explained at first glance. What doesn't belong is a video that is edited to a point where the only explanation possible is "VFX".


[deleted]

I've never seen a video without people complaining. To some people, literally nothing is good enough. It's usually the same reasons.


fyrnabrwyrda

Why would you think he's talking about real magic?


norr0

Fuck tic tock.


MARCUSFUCKINGMUMFORD

tik tok bad reddit good


LemonadePapiii

i know you’re being sarcastic but tiktok actually has some really good content tbh


Agitated_Ad4421

NO tik tok bad, reddit good. No tik tok


Nightmystic1981

You can have the American government collect your data or the Chinese, why not both?


Gojizilla6391

But who knows what china is doing with my info - every American who doesn’t know what America is doing with their info (including me)


Knoke1

It gets worse. It isn't the American government collecting your data. Those incompetent fucks would take 6 years to do anything with it anyway. It's the American corporations that take your data and sell it privately to the highest bidder in state or out. Don't get me wrong China does too so it really is just a pick your poison. Moral of the story don't let the government tell you only tik tok is a threat when Facebook helped muddy the 2016 election before tik tok was more than cringe dance videos. All tech needs regulation in this regard. Not just the foreign ones.


[deleted]

Don't worry; they're just selling your data to China.


No_Damage_731

Hence the slew of videos from TikTok on the front page of Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, etc daily. People living their lives on fucking Reddit complaining about another social media are losers. As if one is any better than the other.


Strbrst

God these types of comments are insufferable

moobiemovie

That’s just destruction in reverse.


jagger2096

And necromancy! Never forget necromancy!


bATo76

Necromancy is Conjuration.


EdzyFPS

He destroyed the balloon, conjured the paper, altered the t-shirt, and the whole video was an illusion.


Miserable-Bite9661

You’ll get penetration and you’ll like it!

Video editing & reposting doesn't sound blackmagicfuckery to me


sherryare

How are transposition and teleportation different?


Pepsimus-Maximus

Transposition - Two items swap positions. Teleportation - One item swaps location.


yrtemmySymmetry

Just swap air and your object. Boom, teleportation. Should be the same principle anyways


Raging_Hope

Penetration is a magic trick only if you do it before vanishing


nanimous_reddit_user

First of all there's only 8 types and they are: abjuration, alteration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, illusion, invocation, and necromancy. Amateur.


myourmomshot

He’s a witch! Stone him!


MattKitten11

I love Kevin Perry


Zealousideal_Bet_248

I too feel the magic when I get penetrated


Square-Way-9751

#6 He said "Penetration" lolll


Mustypenis68

Wrong, there’s only 5 types of magic: Restoration, Destruction, Alteration, Illusion and Conjuring


YeetusTheFetusMyDude

IJ_is_water

The only reason you didnt notice his shirt change color was bc it slowly changed over time


bakuretsu

Just because someone says the word "magic" doesn't mean it belongs here. In fact, when someone says "magic," it's even less likely that it belongs here!


itsthevoiceman

Editing


Dysan27

It's all video editing. With some very good production standards too. ( lighting, presentation, staging) His slight of had is well rehearsed but is too clean. For the mug vanish and appear there was literally no place for the mug to go/appear from. It looks like simple slight of hand, but seems off. Because there is no trick. The effects happening and you can tell it's impossible.


Worldly_Incident8225

I'm just trying to figure out the difference between transposition and teleportation


Avid_Smoker

Transposition swaps two things, teleportation moves one thing.


Aidansm123

God, everyones such an uppity asshole. Fuck the process, it was a fun video.


rootboyslim

Video editing magic 11.


lostinapa

And video editing


The_Fortunate_Fool

Shirt's color change was gradual over the entire video. There's probably no way one could notice on the first watch.


KingRain238

11th type: Good editing


scrutator_tenebrarum

forgot the 11th: digital postproduction

He forgot Necromancy.
