This show has such a vivid place in my mind, specifically I remember the one with a sponge, cup, and coins and the next one involved a saw of some sort. It was almost erie how no one I knew personally remembered it
When doing the shoe laces trick, the narrator says :"Either the magician has ants in his pants or he's inventing a new dance moves." Lmao, that quote is just too hilarious. Coupled with the narrator's constant deadpan remarks about the magician's so called "beautiful" assistant, and this is what makes this show so interesting to me. Mitch Pileggi's narration and Val Valentino's magician acting really makes this show shines to me.
and how Val is a good showman. If these were performed by someone filming themselves in their bedroom learned by watching a youtube tutorial it wouldnt be as good
After watching several episodes of this show, I've discovered that the more astounding and complex the illusion appears to be, the more generic and simple it is to perform. It just takes practice to pull it off successfully. I wish he'd reveal how a costume quick change is done. Not some stupid one where someone's wearing say... a green shirt, spins around and the shirt goes from green to red, for example. I'm talking full body. Someone wearing jeans and a t-shirt, pulls up a curtain in front of them, then drops it immediately and the person's outfit changed to a red hat, fishnets, Chuck Taylor sneakers, and a corset. If anyone knows how that's done, let me know.
Most of the time quick change illusions are accomplished because the clothes they're wearing aren't complete. Like the shirt will have a front but no back so it can be pulled off easily and reveal another outfit, cunningly concealed beneath the last one. Designed to be stuffed into a small area, several of these costumes can be worn simultaneously and taken off one by one as the performer pretends to change into them. But this isn't always how it's done. Oftentimes there are costumes hidden in the sheets they briefly hold up in front of themselves, costumes specially made to be put on in a hurry and look like normal clothing. Hope this helps :).
It’s normally as simple as wearing several layers of cloths that use Velcro to hold them together at the seams so they can rip them off quick and easy revealing the layer underneath. Watch closely you’ll see them as they change cloths how they also seem to get thinner and thinner lol
Most people who have done Show Choir or Musical Theater will have some knowledge of this. Metal snaps that can be easily closed or open, velcro straps, and sometimes even magnetic buttons, all make for quick removal or addition of clothes. When you watch quick change, notice how most performers will start the act wearing very bulky clothes, and then by the end they will be wearing very slender ones, typically more revealing. Also notice if the women is wearing a dress in one moment, and the next outfit has a longer dress. It's usually just worn over and covering the previous dress. If the next dress is shorter, it was underneath the first one.
when she said stop he put one more card down...then he put 2 more down and she took the one off the top after he put 3 extra down.if that makes any sense
@@benehiemere9947 I would assume it is a very large sum, because they cleaned up from this show. Val himself wound up with 6 million, and that was after being sued by several different magicians for revealing their tricks on national tv.
You will notice that later on in the season, they introduced male assistants to help the masked magician along with the female assistants. This was down to a response from viewers, who didn't like the narrator's creepy, pervy and sometimes sexist remarks made about the female assistants. The narrator was told to tone down his words, as they appeared too creepy and rude. Male assistants ensured the narrator didn't have an all female assistant line up to perv over.
one thing for sure that I have learned from watching this show is that Mitch Pileggi is a freaking womanizer. We get it, man....they are beautiful and you can hardly contain yourself. Ugh. Enough already.
Everyone knows magic is not real. So why spoil it and reveal the secrets? What is he trying to gain? Some people do magic for a living. They're not on tv, but they do birthdays and other events for a fee. And by the way, I like magicians that do routines.
Those non-tv magicians get told to f off after because its disrespectful to intentionally withhold such simple non-personal information when asked. Information like if you lost your keys in a messy room and someone knew where they were but refused to tell and laughed at you, you'd feel they are disrespectful.
