This is still one of the best performances I've ever seen PERIOD. The magic itself of course, but the sheer entertainment value of this guy is off the charts
Some tricks I figured out here.....but I DO NOT CARE. There is a great line in the move The Prestige (2006) where Hugh Jackman says that what it is all about is to "see the magic in their eyes" (might be misquoting). Well...there is magic in my eyes watching Hannibal.
Hi. I just wanted to shout out to my people! The Expert Opinion Comment Clan Folk Family Crew Thingy Nation (EOCCFFCTN). Without us, the world would end.
He loads the lemon and orange from the left pocket. I missed the lemon load but caught the orange load since his movement was a lot bigger. Granted I only saw his loads, I didn't see what he was loading because he has such big hands.
It is written, The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Ps. 9:17) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: (1 Cor. 15:3-5) Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. (From Acts 16:31)
Reason the trick is so old is because it's not complicated. It's complicated to me and I'll never to really figure it out, but because requires some showmanship. Not complicated magic and good showmanship to me will never be something I figure that out. Liking magic but never trying to figure it out too much made me like it more. Using frame by frame and having an idea of what happens but still being amazed has made me a fan.
This is one performance I've seen a ton of times and I still enjoy it. Hannibal completely aces this. The "show of hands, how many of you saw me put the orange under the cup?" is such a killer finish.
And even after these years, even after the sadness liberalism has caused it is so good to see real people from the US. People who act like humans. Greetings from Central Europe!
Props to Megan for picking another decent looking girl to come on stage. Made the simple trick a little more enjoyable for the 90% of viewers who are straight males.
The truth is, this is a very basic trick. Just about anyone can physically do it. It takes a person like this man to mislead an audience into thinking that it is magic.
