I knew this really annoying guy who liked magic tricks, he showed me a trick involving matches. I had no idea how the trick worked but when he gave me the matches to inspect I decided to keep one back without him noticing, figuring it would be important. The trick of course failed and I drove him insane all night by refusing to tell him what was going on. So I guess that makes me the magician.
Can you explain the trick more that you remember? What did it look like when he first did it successfully? I'm trying to figure out how you taking away a single matchstick could've destroyed the entire trick. I am very curious about these things lol
@@SyenPie Sorry I really couldn't :( It was over 20 years ago and I was drunk! It involved numbers though so the missing match threw the numbers out. It was fun though because he had a personality like Gareth from the UK 'Office' TV series.
The best female comedian of all times. She always manages to keep a poker face while creating the most "uncomfortable" situations, verbally and physically. I absolutely adore her.
@@andreaskarlsson5251 She might still have to hone her craft to surpass the likes of Stephen Fry, Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie.. The list could go on :)
@@martinmollerup2265 she is much funnier than Stephen Fry. Hard to compare with Rowan Atkinson because its so different.. no clue who the third one you mentioned is. Never heard of
I thought I wanted to be a magician when I was a little kid until I was given a magic set for my birthday and realized it was all cheap tricks and chicanery. What I had really wanted was to be a wizard.
Hagrid: "Yer a magician, Harry!" Harry: "I'm a... what? A wizard?!" Hagrid: "No - a magician! Now here's yer dead dad's fake playin' cards. An' some little plastic balls an' cups that yer mum had. Now go off an' annoy yer Aunt Petunia fer a while."
ahhhh yes you see but that IS the exact trick! Well practiced well developed! - To make people think that you are not trying when indeed you are trying quite hard. Yes. She is awesome and talented. But make no mistake, it is all quite on purpose and intentional. A skill that she developed as a comedienne.
The most awkward situation is when you know how the trick was done, but have to pretend you're well impressed. A local, somewhat-known magician got me involved with a trick in a shopping centre when I was young. We're going back to the early 90's here. Can't quite remember what the trick was, but I do vividly remember watching him louse it up by fumbling around with a stuck trap door on his prop to make whatever it was disappear. Being a sport, I faked amazement when he got the damned thing to work. The audience couldn't see it from their perspective, so I saved his arse big time by playing along. He'd looked so worried about how I'd respond, and so relieved when I didn't grass him up. He gave me a fleeting look which said "Phew, thanks buddy.".
I agree that unless it's kids doing it for adults or adults doing it for kids, your average magic trick situation is always going to be uncomfortable. But there are exceptions, people like Derren Brown or Dynamo who are genuinely entertaining
admittedly, when she puts it like that, I see her point. I actually got one of those kits as a child, a whole box filled with different stuff to do generic little tricks with, and was really fascinated by it, but never really went anywhere with it, wasn't very good at it so I gave up on trying, which is usually what I do with most things lol
The only trick I mastered was folding my arms with a piece of string and splaying my hands to reveal a magic knot! That’s about the time my dad taught me how to throw a punch - figured I need defensive skills.
@@nealg3546 my dad tried teaching me defensive skills too, but it didn't really work lol, i've never been very physical, which meant i got bullied i alot sadly. also i wish i could use real magic, why do a card trick when you can cast fire at your enemies? lol
Like chemistry sets, no-one who has ever received a magic box has ever actually used it. They're usually crap. Anyone really interested in magic will buy individual tricks in a specialist magic shop
@@oliverholmes-gunning5372 maybe...i suppose it depends on the person, i'm betting in some cases receiving something is what sparks their interest in it, like a set of paint and brushes might make a child interested in painting when they weren't yet aware how fun it could be
@@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075 It's possible of course, everyone's different. Most of those magic sets are very frustrating though, because the tricks are usually poorly made and hard for someone with child-sized hands to perform. I always liked magic as a kid and I had a couple of those sets over the years, but I hardly ever touched them. I preferred to do card tricks and buy individual stuff from a shop that was actually well made
@@nifralo2752 damn I really wasn't expecting a reply from a 2 year comment lmaoo but God damn fair play for keeping the thread going, honestly agree that they're pretty basic, but figure it's just to focus costs where they're needed, pay to the presenters, crew etc. and then budget where it's not necessary, like effects and stuff, although agree it could definitely look better these are very lacking.
I gave my kid a stand up comedy set. It came with a joke book, crippling depression, abandonment issues leading to an overbearing need for approval, a handle of cheap vodka, a carton of Lucky Strikes, and a revolver with 1 bullet in it.
I feel like the show itself is edited. It's quite frustrating really when one guest is crowned the winner despite on the edited version being tied first.
I agree, but for different reasons. Magic is entertaining as long as the presentation isn't too overdone/cocky and it doesn't have 'fake' danger in it. I absolutely hate those half-naked men, surrounded by glittery-suit women, that chain themselves up, with loud dramatic music, and lower themselves in a box filled with water and get spears through the box or something. It reminds me of murderporn...I just get disgusted and scared at the same time, not entertained. There is no(t supposed to be any) danger and it's cringy. Also, the lack of dramatic-music, can make it indeed, look like a psychopath-scenario. The moments where there is only background-drums and women are being stuffed into boxes, coffins, cups or cut in half, are just nauseatingly uncomfortable to me. But it míght have to do with a tiny tiny child-trauma of seeing a kids(!)movie (not kiss kiss bang bang, it was worse) in which a girl was sceaming and crying, while being stuck in a magicians box and being sawed in half.
she probably only made a skit, but i genuinely hate magicians. it always feels to me like "wow, you wasted a part of your lifetime practicing to trick, fool and scam people to feel cool! you deserve a cookie and some milk!"
Magicians and tattoos. If presented with either subject I actively have to shut any possible discourse down with my admission of utter disregard for either soul sapping subject.
Yeah, that's the problem with magicians who want to be heroes without feeling it or putting the effort this art form needs. Most of them produce cheap tricks instead of gaining the ability to create magical moments. It never is the trick, it's always the performer who creates magic.
Do I still have a chance to entertain Diana? When people say to me: "I don't like magic." I always say thats because they've never seen a good magician. But she's right they're all psychopaths.
'It's starts with parent giving kids magic set.' i don't know if she intended a pun there, but i kinda find it funny how the narrative jumps so far back immediately nonchalantly
I don't like magicians because there is an US vs THEM dynamic.. At a party, a guy was doing tricks. He asked if I knew any, so I did the most basic "is this your card" trick. You put the card on top, split the deck, ask them to shuffle it.. Then you show their card, relying on the hope that the card on top and their card won't separate in the shuffle. I could see him riffle through the deck to shuffle, seeing he knew my trick and wanted to separate the two cards. I just said to him "fucking forget it". Not that i'm bitter about this event that happened nearly 8 years ago.. But the "I know your trick. And I will break it". Instead of a "hey, that's a good trick" or "hey, that was my first trick".
I kinda get it 😆 The more you know about tricks, how its done, slight of hand, mirrors etc the more I'm unimpressed by the trick and more interested in the mechanics behind the trick. It's why the magician's I do actually enjoy watching is Penn and Teller just because they'll do a trick then show you how its done as they've obviously evolved enough with the times to realise thats what people care about more and you can make an act more out of how its done, then just doing it.
Totally agree. Have always agreed. It's actually worse than it at first seems. These people want adulation, and money for deceiving you. It's pathetic.
I don't mind telling you, I find Diane Morgan magnetically beautiful. I'm just saying. Of course she's a performer and all, so I suppose that's natural. Still, though, eh? Okay, thanks then.
I'm with Diane. I probably liked watching magicians when I was young and easily amused. But as I got older it felt like stupid human tricks. Like dogs jumping through hoops.
I've been to that restaurant where the guy does tricks, I agree with Diane, the word 'Trick' is the key, it isn't magic lol. The only one I liked was Tommy Cooper where he mucked up the tricks or shown how it was done.
Spouse hates magicians. One was hired to entertain guests at a party she attended. She followed the poor guy around and simply corrected his grammar. All evening.
David Copperfield was a legend. All fake tan and hairy chest and his magic was great as well. Making tigers appear and disappear is no mean feat. What a creepy guy he was.
Bad magic shows are boring and unentertaining, good magic shows can be great, unless you have no sense of fun at all. Although modern magic shows seem to be turning a bit too hipster recently (like Derren Brown who avoids the M word at all costs to try pretending what he’s doing is some kind of psychological effect, his tricks are amazing but they are still magic tricks)
