Hey there! My name is Lionel and I'm a Swiss magician. I'm addicted to magic but I also love other things as traveling and the mountains. My acts are often a combination of magic and comedy elements.
Each liquid was poured in a different way, for example, the first milk was just a bit and was over right away, but the cola was a lot but he used his hand to cover the glass, and the last milk was barely anything but the glass got filled very quick and then, he didn't even drink it. Not sure how it is done, but each liquid had a different trick forcing him to pour each in a different way.
There were too many video cuts, many frames were missing. And one time you were holding the milk box one way and the very next second you were holding the milk box the other way. And only while pouring the orange juice you squeezed the box and not while pouring the other drinks. Also while pouring the cola you hid the glass and mixed something. And at the very end you hide the glass with your hand while pouring the milk and I'm pretty sure something is hidden in the milk because that is the only time you tilted the milk box completely upside down to pour something from the box that we are not meant to see. There's definitely something that had been poured along with the milk and that's the reason you hide the glass completely with your hand while holding it and so it was possible for you to pour the milk that fast without spilling even a drop. Very bad magic even if you fooled Penn and Teller. Not at all cool man! Made me very upset. 😏😪😔💔
Hmm how is the inside of the carton spotless? Not a single drop falls from it. It's as if it had never contained any liquid... I'd say there was a cut there, plenty opportunity when waiting for the reply. That's the problem with non-live tricks. One thing is for sure: whenever the liquid changes, he has changed the position of his grabbing hand. So maybe he's wearing a prosthetic or something and different fingers/hand positions are feeding the container from hidden bags in his back or something. If the container is not gimmicked that's the only thing I can think of. Except it doesnt explain the completely dry 'true container' he rips... But I can't fathom a container switch that doesn't rely on editing, so... it must be gimmicked? Idk.
The only thing left if it was not the carton and cant see any tubes or prosthetics is must be the glasses he pours into they might have a gimmick to them don't know how but can be done. And him changing his hand on the carton must of been a misdirection to make penn and teller thing it the carton.
That was a great act. Thanks for sharing it. Sorry you wound up getting shafted by lockdown - it would've been great to see on stage. Good luck with your career
If you wonder how the trick is done. Here is how. 😁 The milk was in a small cylinder compartment hence he only poured little amount with 67⁰ angle. Then he screwed the cap as you can hear it in the background. After that he removed the cylinder and hid it in the black tray. Now the bottle is filled with water and it has two edible water bubbles inside, one on the top is filled with orange juice and the other on the bottom filled with swiss wine. For lemon juice. He had the glass already filled with lemon powder. You can see it in some frames. You can see the cristal clear water pouring out but later it's a not clear. Same goes for the cola. It's a powder in the glass. See how he is covering the entire glass so you cannot see the pure water pouring out. At this stage there is no more warer For the orange juice. He squeezes the top water bubble and pour out the juice. For the wine, he squeezes the bottom water bubble and pour it out. There was no orange juice left because the walls of the container is hydrophobic. Then for the last glass of milk that he gave to no one. He took a glass containing milk powder then poured whatever left from the swiss wine and the edible water bubblea into it hence the shacking so the jelly bubbles comes out so he can later open the container without any trace if anything. You are welcome
Thanks for watching! Sorry for the language problem. It's Swiss German and until now there is no automated translation for it. I sold a powder that makes oranges magically grow within seconds.
I can think of a way this works It would work with a version of an assassins tea kettle where you would cover a hole in order for liquid to come out from one container while the other container holds it's liquid. The version seen here probably uses pressure instead to get the same effect EDIT: after fully watching it I can safely say that he just has the liquids separated like how oil and water wont mix and instead creates layers
I think the glasses are gimmick because it will be hard to keep those liquids separate from each other in a milk carton! I'm truly amazed by how you did it!!! Congratulations, I hope to see you attempt to fool them again!!!
There is some strange editing in this video. At 3:37 you can distinctly see he is holding the carton on the green lines, yet when it cuts to the close up he is clearly grabbing it close to the middle. Am I mistaken? There are also sound effects of pouring when you can't see the liquid being poured and no sound effects when you can. I really have no idea how he's doing it, my best guess is when you can't see him pouring and hear the sound effect he's actually filling it up with the hand that's holding the glass. But this confusing editing makes me think there is simply nothing in the video that might reveal how it's done because it's been edited out. Either that or, when he pours the milk out for himself at the end, he's hiding that he pours out the "gimmick" itself. You can't see it because the milk is opaque or the glass is a trick glass. He never appears to take a drink of it even though he acts like he's going to.
There is a video editing error on 3:38 (hand posotion), that means it could be all pre recorded and video edited. There is no conversation with the stage during all the performance.
Uhhhhh why is that video heavily edited like there’s even different cuts while pouring the lime soda and the wine As in they shot that twice! That’s so odd why fake close up shots? Ain’t the whole point is that he is doing the trick?
The trick is done in multiple takes. That is simply cheating! And not cheating in a way that we want be cheated in. (You can see that close-up shots of the pooring into the glasses are not matching the normal shots.)
Well, you are right with different takes, but not with cheating. It is a question of budget. I did the trick 4 times, always with different camera angles in oder to have good takes. P&T were watching a one shot (without any cuts) on a big screen. We didn’t have the possibility to film all the shots at the same time.
This is an edited video created by Lionel with at least three different cameras recording. There's too much opportunity for deception between shifts from one camera to anther. Deep dish tray to conceal powders in bottoms of glasses, at least for the lemon-lime & cola. First pour he pauses at 2:00 while holding the "full" carton horizontal... if it was a normal full carton of liquid, that glass would have been overflowing. Notice he conceals the pour spout by pointing the bottom of the carton away from the camera as he pours. When he pours the lemon-lime, before the camera angle shifts away from the close-up, the liquid in the pour and glass are water clear, but after the camera angle shift, it's slightly cloudy. That edited camera shift happened in Switzerland and not in Las Vegas. He's also awkwardly squeezing the carton at 2:29. When he pours the "cola" he holds the glass very awkwardly to conceal the pour. When he pours the orange juice at 3:16, the carton is held at 45º pausing as he drains the last of the OJ out while noticeably squeezing the carton. The last glass makes me think it's double walled and the opaque white liquid (much whiter than the first milk poured) is perhaps coming up from the base? Notice how he raises the glass as he's pouring... is that so the camera doesn't catch that it's a double walled glass? Watch it frame by frame, and you can see it fills abnormally. He does NOT drink the "milk"... why not? Are the 4 people in on the "trick"... or at least the first guy?
