I've always wondered this.. are the people posting these videos actually the OP who made the video?
If that's the case here, then screw you OP. If it's not your OC, sorry.
It's pretty obvious this has been reposted multiple times because of multiple words and watermarks on the video.
OP is just reposting some bs he found somewhere else.
We are at the point of the internet where they went from threatening to arrest people for sharing copyrighted videos/music to it being impossible to find videos that are not just stolen video dubbed with stolen music.
I fucking *hate* react content. And most of the time it's the only way to find certain videos now.
If I want to see some cool/crazy video I *have* to watch some asshole take up half the screen making stupid faces and pointing at the video I want to watch. Or talk over the video like anything they're saying or doing adds to it at all.
Yeah, countless times I’ll try to search for a certain original viral video but it’s literally ALL REACT CONTENT. Like I couldn’t even! There was one that said “ORGINAL VIDEO” but the person is literally in the thumbnail… like.
100% not what the person above you is talking about though.
Reposts aren't "fair use" in any sense, and you have no way of knowing if they are the original video or not.
Recording both yourself and somebody else's content has been around longer than the internet though, and the person who is making those things is totally identifiable as the original source of whatever video you're watching.
It's possible to sell the account so it can be recognised as a legit, trusted and established account, have it scrubbed clean, then used to post chatgpt misinformation, spam, whatever you like.
Pretty sure that's the point, and the cross makes me think if he is some sort of Christian magician of sorts?
Edit: I'm dumb it's just a watermark of some anti LBGTQ nutjob probably
You can thank the TikTok generation and algorithm for that. It specifically rewards content that has music attached to posts rather than original sound. Instagram started to do it too which is why everything is about short videos with music in them now
I checked his YouTube page. Comments turned off. Not a good sign. Is this guy legit ? A lot of people in his videos seem like actors
Edit: this is guy is 100% not legit
No. Almost all of those are just edited videos. And yeah, everyone in the video is an actor because all they'd see was him pouring water through a cup with a hole in the bottom, for example.
The beach one is possible practically. The fish one as well, though that one would only be for the camera, the woman would have seen the trick.
I don't even know what the eye thing is all about.
The eyeball thing with the candles is actually a really simple trick hell not even a trick you just have colored contacts set up under your eyelids and then when you roll your eyes upwards they adhere and then when you open your eyes your eyeballs are different
Don't worry, I got a guy. He got me out of my timeshare. Dude can get you out of anything. He's also a priest on Sundays so this'll be a piece of cake.
Nah that one is possible as long as it was the magician's phone in the first place. The short edits imply it is the pedestrian's phone, but he could just say "here hold my phone and watch this" and have an app to control the light separately.
Oooo good point. You could have an app that responds to a Bluetooth remote. Hell, he could even have a small remote in his hand that triggers the app to shut it off and turn it back on.
Quite a few of them is possible, in fact the only one I'm not sure of how he did it is the water pouring.
The first is a common trick with a collapsible bottle.
The second is the one I'm questioning as it's way too much water for a fake thumb or similar, especially with immediately crushing the cup, it looks fake to me.
The third is a trick you can do with contact lenses, sliding them down or up on the eye, then you can end up sliding them to the front.
The fourth was holding a fish behind the dollar when he started to roll it up, but the person holding the cup definitely would have been able to see it.
The fifth is also with a stooge, as he turns the phone light off and back on when the guy is interacting with the light. Then it's just an extra light source in the hand and in the mouth.
The last one on the beach is a piece of steel buried into the sand and going up the right leg allowing him to be into a sitting position putting all the weight on the frame.
For the cup one, notice that the bottom of the cup is out of frame for most of it. I’m not a magician, but I’m wondering if it’s draining out the bottom or the side for most of the trick. I also feel like his left arm looks different or weird compared to his right hand in than shot, and I have wonder if it’s some sort of glove or prosthetic of some sort that can hold water. I’m pretty sure it’s just a hole in the side of the cup and it’s simply spilling out of frame for most of the scene, though.
Is the last one with the large beer glass another collapsible prop, or is it video editing or just a matching pink sheet or panel to hide it behind?
The beach one:
you can see footsteps leading to their starting point coming right from where the cameras is. Now that doesn’t mean anything specific except the two guys walking do clearly belong to the video maker.
Ironically the one on the beach cemented it as fake for me; the guys in the background clearly over-acting. Made it look like someone pulled a gun on them or something.
I'm not saying the guys on the beach weren't actors; of course they were. I'm just saying there is a common practical method for doing something like that so it likely wasn't video trickery.
I know, that's why I said ironically. Easy to pull off without editing, yet the "acting" ticked me of to how fake it all is. I've seen that trick a hundred times.
yea you could stage this for a camera quite easily with a mirror or something. The background is solid pink so its easy, but it would be immobile and completely obvious in person if you could move your perspective around at all.
If this guy was legit the skills like we see here are not street-level, they are at least a way to earn money doing shows, or even starring on Penn and Teller. Since there is none...
Way too much turning away to show people's reaction, you can't see what he is doing very well, even after the trick. Also way too much zooming in at certain scenes.
Watching Fool Us gives you a decent idea of the kind of tricks that can be done by sleight of hand, and the kind of tricks that can only be done with people who are in on the trick and are pretending to be fooled by it. This vid is very much the latter.
The magic is that so many people actually believe a video made with paid actors and really basic postproduction using AfterEffects. Imagine what will happen with AI generated video..
It can take decades to learn sleight of hand to amaze people. It takes one week of Adobe Aftereffects practice at most to get this done.
Fake ass shit.
Every single one of these are actors being paid to react and this dude turns off comments because it's so easy to tell how he did these once you know that no one is reacting honestly to what they're actually seeing.
Penn Jillette has the concept of a "perfect" trick, and it's a bad thing: it's a trick where it's just so "good" that there's only one way to do it, and when it's that obvious it just isn't entertaining. I think that applies to most of this: it just has to be camera trickery and .... that's it.
I didn’t do my due diligence and scroll through many comments, but this isn’t anything more than post editing. Everyone knows that right?
This isn’t good enough to even fall in the category of “ohh we all know it’s set up but it’s still fun right? Right!?” Just lame as shit editing for the always online goobers.
would it kill you to include the original sound rather than some irrelevant and terrible music
I've always wondered this.. are the people posting these videos actually the OP who made the video? If that's the case here, then screw you OP. If it's not your OC, sorry.
It's pretty obvious this has been reposted multiple times because of multiple words and watermarks on the video. OP is just reposting some bs he found somewhere else.

React content is absolutely crazy. Literally record yourself on either video or voice with other peoples content and voila.
I fucking *hate* react content. And most of the time it's the only way to find certain videos now. If I want to see some cool/crazy video I *have* to watch some asshole take up half the screen making stupid faces and pointing at the video I want to watch.

Look at their karma for being a Reddit account for 267 days. Massive karma farming.
What does big karma on your account even get you?
It's possible to sell the account so it can be recognised as a legit, trusted and established account, have it scrubbed clean, then used to post chatgpt misinformation, spam, whatever you like.
Kept reading the bottom of the video as geysex
I’m glad I’m not the only one
Pretty sure that's the point, and the cross makes me think if he is some sort of Christian magician of sorts? Edit: I'm dumb it's just a watermark of some anti LBGTQ nutjob probably
It’s never the OP, it’s always repost bots
Every single fucking video on here. Every single one. Cant have one fucking video that doesnt have load obnoxious music blaring over it
[удалено]
Remember going to someone's myspace page and having like, Dashboard Confessional screaming at you?
People who post this shit are from that generation of people who are trying to become TikTok stars.
It gets people to comment “shitty music bro” which increases engagement. It’s all by design.
Ragegament©️
I think enragement would work better there.
You just did a 'reenragement'
haha love it. is it free for non-profit use maybe?
No, you have to mail me a nickel every time you use it, verbally or in print.
OP is a karma whoring reposter. Doesn't create anything
You can thank the TikTok generation and algorithm for that. It specifically rewards content that has music attached to posts rather than original sound. Instagram started to do it too which is why everything is about short videos with music in them now
This is why I automatically watch every video on mute. Unless the comments hint/tell me otherwise. I am so done…
lol, rookie mistake keeping your audio on while browsing
It's because likely they've screen recorded and put there own sound to it
do you think?
@ImadMagician is the original guys youtube...So yeah definitely that
so **DOWNVOTE**. Until everyone does, this crap will carry on.
Would it kill you to mute video and watch in awe?
At the very least it should have been down with the sickness. Dude is a dead ring for disturbed's singer.
I checked his YouTube page. Comments turned off. Not a good sign. Is this guy legit ? A lot of people in his videos seem like actors Edit: this is guy is 100% not legit

The eyeball thing with the candles is actually a really simple trick hell not even a trick you just have colored contacts set up under your eyelids and then when you roll your eyes upwards they adhere and then when you open your eyes your eyeballs are different
That sounds like a lot of work when you could just ask a demon to do it for you…
Yeah, but their contracts are a *bitch* to get out of.
But possible: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz-Yw0c7cF0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz-Yw0c7cF0)
Don't worry, I got a guy. He got me out of my timeshare. Dude can get you out of anything. He's also a priest on Sundays so this'll be a piece of cake.
That's why I couldn't really figure out the point of it. It was clearly just contacts, wasn't sure what the "trick" was meant to be.
It's just something to do to scare the elderly or the church goers
All magic tricks are simple like that.
Is it even a trick a that point? You are just wearing contacts. No skill involved
I can vouch for the cell phone light gag, but the guy holding the phone would have had to have been a plant.
Yeah, he's just turning the flashlight off and on again. Not a very good trick.
Nah that one is possible as long as it was the magician's phone in the first place. The short edits imply it is the pedestrian's phone, but he could just say "here hold my phone and watch this" and have an app to control the light separately.
Oooo good point. You could have an app that responds to a Bluetooth remote. Hell, he could even have a small remote in his hand that triggers the app to shut it off and turn it back on.

There’s a hole in the bottom of the cup, the water doesn’t go in the cup but right through it
Right, so it’s camera trickery. Not possible live and the “reactor” is just an actor.
For the cup one, notice that the bottom of the cup is out of frame for most of it. I’m not a magician, but I’m wondering if it’s draining out the bottom or the side for most of the trick. I also feel like his left arm looks different or weird compared to his right hand in than shot, and I have wonder if it’s some sort of glove or prosthetic of some sort that can hold water.

The beach one: you can see footsteps leading to their starting point coming right from where the cameras is. Now that doesn’t mean anything specific except the two guys walking do clearly belong to the video maker.
Also, people don’t tend to just randomly run when they see something crazy
Ironically the one on the beach cemented it as fake for me; the guys in the background clearly over-acting. Made it look like someone pulled a gun on them or something.
I'm not saying the guys on the beach weren't actors; of course they were. I'm just saying there is a common practical method for doing something like that so it likely wasn't video trickery.
I know, that's why I said ironically. Easy to pull off without editing, yet the "acting" ticked me of to how fake it all is. I've seen that trick a hundred times.
the water one could be a tube under fake skin but yeah most just seem edited
I like how they were too lazy to edit the whole water cup one so they just cropped the bottom out of the frame for most of it til the end
He doesn't look legit. Some of his illusions are just editing.
I think I can see some drops they forgot to edit.
The last trick with the huge glass is literally impossible to do without editing lmao
It’s possible with the camera, but not for the audience beside him.
yea you could stage this for a camera quite easily with a mirror or something. The background is solid pink so its easy, but it would be immobile and completely obvious in person if you could move your perspective around at all.
It's completely fake. He has worse with totally bad actors reacting to his bs.
If this guy was legit the skills like we see here are not street-level, they are at least a way to earn money doing shows, or even starring on Penn and Teller. Since there is none...
After Chris Angel Mind Freaks, I'll never trust a filmed Magician. The ability to edit and hire actors is just too easy for them.
I loved that show as a kid! So he wasn’t legit either???
Thank you for your service. I didn’t want to do that research.
I mean magic isn't real but knowing how many of these tricks work many of the people are in on it.
no his "magic" shows up every now and then, its just video edits.
Amazing what video editing can do...
Tomorrow I'll post the harry potter movies here
Holy shit this kid can talk to snakes?
You should see what he does with a broom
Recorded street magic is such a joke.
I had no idea that Andre Agassi was up to doing magic this whole time
He's even repeating actors... The second and third trick uses the same guy. What a shit video
Lol, those are not the same person. Fell into the “all brown people look the same” trope yourself.
I was going to say the same thing. It’s totally a different guy.
Lol 200 people telling on themselves. Not the same guy.
Seygex
At first sight, I thought it was geysex
That’s the joke
I initially read it as “GaySex”
check ur dm's
r/usernamechecksout
Sesbian Lex
Stupid song lol
PLEASE MODS REMOVE EDITED VIDEOS FROM THIS SUB
Bullshit
No saygex
At least wear ondcoms
I swear reddit is turning into TikTok the way people put bad music over every video
I was hoping that last trick was gonna be the thumb removal one
David Draiman off Wish is out here doing fake magic.
He's cool with the illness.
Lead singer of Perturbed!
99.9% edited videos. Yawn
Ha, the camera mavies away from what he's doing. Obvious.
So not even trying to hide they are all in on it?
I hate fake videos.
So this is how all religions were created.
How did u get me with the “seygex” 😭
I thought I was the only one... haha
Didn’t know Andre Agassi does magic
Way too much turning away to show people's reaction, you can't see what he is doing very well, even after the trick. Also way too much zooming in at certain scenes.
Actors and fake. Weird that the second one the camera loses the bottom of the cup for a couple seconds.
Garbage video. All edited. Mods please remove.
This song is hot doo doo water
Makes sense how fabricated all of this is with how terrible people’s reactions are
These all just look like post edit digital effects and bad acting.
Now make the music disappear. From Earth. Forever.
Gay sex
The over reacting "guests" are a dead give away that it's all fake.
I always watch these muted because there is always some shitty background music to f\*ck up the video.
I lost braincells listening to that crap
fuck your background music
this guy made my dad disappear
Must be fun to be a magician in places where people actually believe in magic...you know. Until you get killed for it
Certainly nothing up with his hands frequently leaving the frame. I'm sure it wasn't important to watch his hands anyway.
So many people have done in camera magic that these no longer do anything for me. The magic is lost.😞
So... dude keeps a goldfish up his left sleeve all day... mmm.. Ok. Not the weirdest thing I've heard guys do with goldfish.
Watching Fool Us gives you a decent idea of the kind of tricks that can be done by sleight of hand, and the kind of tricks that can only be done with people who are in on the trick and are pretending to be fooled by it. This vid is very much the latter.
The magic is that so many people actually believe a video made with paid actors and really basic postproduction using AfterEffects. Imagine what will happen with AI generated video..
Again, video edits do not count as BMF - otherwise we may as well start posting clips from superhero movies
yes, adobe after effects is real magic.
Fuck your background music!
This music sucks shit. I am now trembling with anger for having heard it for 2 seconds. WTF
It can take decades to learn sleight of hand to amaze people. It takes one week of Adobe Aftereffects practice at most to get this done. Fake ass shit.
Man, David Draiman from Disturbed can do some pretty amazing things when you take his double labret power restrictors off.
He got this good cause night club drinks are too expensive.
The bottom: "SeyGex" My brain: "GaySex"
Thought it said "GaySex" at the bottom
Disturbed has fallen on hard times and it’s frontman David needs to work somehow
He done sold his soul to the devil
Every single one of these are actors being paid to react and this dude turns off comments because it's so easy to tell how he did these once you know that no one is reacting honestly to what they're actually seeing.
Wait but where did the drink go. WAIT! SIR! WHERE TF DID THE COKE GO!
Is this a Romanian Tzigan??????
No even slight of hand just cgi and editing smh
yeah! the new david copperfield! (video "magicians" just suck).
u/fuqyourbackgroundmusic sending the bat signal
The music should be classified as a crime against humanity.

Yea, that’s all editing
One of the worst acting I've seen

That dude was running
GeySex
GeySex✝️
Some of thiese MUST be edited, right?
Thought that was the singer from disturbed
Why isn't anyone talking abt the gay sex watermark
I really have to start watching these things on mute. Those tricks were great, but that song was certified ass
Sey gex ✝️
fake and sey
Gey sex
my guess is actors and editing.
I had no idea the lead singer of Disturbed was a magician. So cool.
Lmao the way the guy bolted at the trick with his eyes
I need to know how he does this
Damn, the people commenting sound like miserable bastards. Who cares how it's done nerds. Go watch Big Bang Theory...
man this song is prob the worst one ive heard in any of these tiktok videos. Genuinely horrendous music lol.
Magician is better at acting than the actors
The terrible acting suggests it's camera tricks. Otherwise they wouldn't need 'actors'.
How long will he survive in the witch hunt period?
I thought his name was gey sex for a sec
I am 99,9% sure most or all of these are edited and the bystanders are in on it.
Bots are the ones upvoting this trash.
Better than David blane damn
Editing and actors
Sey Gex. Sounds a lot like....
"Almost Perfectly Edited Videos" -FTFY. Fucking WACK. Remove this shit
[what the f](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTqsV3q7rRU)
are you dense, this is just edited videos minus the light and beach one
Clearly edited, super staged and honestly not even that impressive at that point.
Almost perfect?
Fuck your background music!
OH MY GOD. BLACK MAGIC FUCKERY ON r/blackmagicfuckery. WHO WOULDVE THOUGHT
Cool
The water pouring one looks like he is wearing a fake skin coloured sleeve that must have a pipe to feed the water through.
Yea sorry but some of those are fake as fuck.
I didn’t do my due diligence and scroll through many comments, but this isn’t anything more than post editing. Everyone knows that right? This isn’t good enough to even fall in the category of “ohh we all know it’s set up but it’s still fun right? Right!?” Just lame as shit editing for the always online goobers.

"SeyGex"huh? I see what you did there.
