    Theres a new fella troy. Street magician chap. He took a lend of a fellas hat on one side of a drawbridge. There was a big cowd gathered because the bridge had gone up and they were all waiting to cross.
    Then he pulled a jacket over him and let it fall to the ground. Low and behold he was on the other side of the bridge.
    Now I am not one for suggesting this fella is magic. Is he just paying everyone to look shocked on these tricks? It doesnt look like he has a huge budget.
    How did he get to the other side of the bridge in under a second.
    The man he took the hat off said specifically 1 second had passed.
    Id blame bungee chord but I dont know magic and he was in the middle of a crowd.

    Troy has a twin brother, who is conveniently also a magician.
    The brother was hiding on the other side of the bridge, Troy is on this side under the bridge. Troy is a troll.

    As for the hat, Troy picks who ever in the crowd closest matches the hat his brother has.

    So you reckon he just stops the camera when they lift the coat and hit record again when hes over the other side and drop the coat?
    Thats disgraceful he can get rich off that.
    What happened to the days of ingenuity.

    I think you will find that wasnt me. You have me mistaken. Put your apology on one side of the drawbridge,put a hat on it. Ill wait on the other side.
    Make it happen. Be the bigger man.

    May change thread title to butterfaces apology.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    I think we should make this guy king of the planet; I mean he can do some pretty nifty shít, like.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭jane82


    Yeah I seen him eat an apple then turn it back into a new apple what the **** like?
    Could he endwirld hunger, was it a genius bit of well hidden cleanable paint in his mouth or did he just stop the camera switch apples and pay the stall worker to look shocked?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    It's actual magic! It's real!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭jane82


    If it was actual magic he wouldnt be going around telling people. You could have anything in the world if you were really magic provided you kept schtum.

    It's quite normal for magicians to have paid extras on hand.
    Wonder have they begun using CGI for some of their tricks.

    I saw the guy and looked into his eyes. He has a pure soul, man. He only wants to be a magician on TV, bringing happiness to strangers. Let him do his thing, Jane, let him do his thing.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭jane82


    Maybe the hat was some sort of teleportTion device.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭jane82


    Cgi magic is interesting. Never thought of that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,590 ✭✭✭jane82

    Apologies Jane82. I swanned into this thread yesterday and cast aspersions about you and I was.. wrong! It was Hardluckwoman who started that other thread, and instead of doing my homework, I just plucked that link out of my arse and splattered it all over your reputation. Please forgive me! :D

    I hate this style of magician, I don't mean street ones, just fake video editing ones, which I presume must be after looking at some tricks. By fake I mean editing and using actors, before someone says "you know magics not real right?".

    I remember years my friend & his GF telling me about this amazing program where a guy "really levitated". This was David Blaine, now he did a genuine decent trick levitating on one foot, but then in the show edited in bits of him being lifted with a harness, this was supposed to edited to then show shocked faces on people who were actually looking at the earlier far less impressive trick, but making out like this was done infront of them.

    If I want to see lads doing stuff like that I'll just watch the matrix or something.
