And today I'll be reviewing some movie scenes with magic in it.

Now you see me, she's going to an escape.

She's being tied up with stuff from I assume Home Depot.

And she's now gonna escape from the from the Now she's not doing escaping this a movie.

They re shoot this and everything.

It sze about magic.

It's gnome or she's no more doing magic than a police officer's actually arresting people during the movie.

I believe if I remember this right, Parana are gonna drop in at the end either.

But Parana will not attack people like that.

We did a whole thing on that would tell her in a tank of Parana, where we were very smugly saying the Parana wouldn't actually bite somebody.

And then the Parana bit teller, which bit his toe really badly and maybe laugh really, really hard.

Parana won't really do that.

Sadly, sadly, be nice what they did.

Oh, and she appears in the audience.

Yeah, that's done.

That's done all the time.

Someone onstage vanishes, they appear in the audience.

And the great thing is, when you really do that for real.

You just walk through the audience and they don't notice you were paying attention to stage.

You think everybody's gonna be like, pointy and yelling bullshit, but they don't just walk through.

Spotlight hits you, you're there.

The water tank, which is what they're doing.

A take on in this is usually associated with Houdini, and it's very important that Houdini had a rule that he wouldn't do anything more dangerous than sitting in his living room.

And that's not on Lee.

An artistic decision.

It's also a moral decision, and not just for myself, not self preservation.

It's also immoral to put the ought make the audience complicity, unnecessary human risk, the prestige.

Watch carefully.

We will watch very carefully.

You will see no trickery.

We'll see.

Trick or no trickery is employed.

Everything he's saying is a lie, really a technique familiar to certain citizens of the Orient and various holy men of the Himalayas.

That's not true, either.

What you're about to see is considered safe.

Wasn't that something he moved a long distance?

What could be easier to do than that in a movie?

A SW Far as I know that has no real antecedent.

That's no real magic trick.

If you did, it is a magic trick.

Live on stage.

The audience would know you were using twins.

You know, there's a sense that movies never get where everything being done in the magic show has to be in some way plausible.

And that's a good example of a trick that would be horrible in a live show because you've got what's called and this is more complicated than we're going to go into.

But it's called the two perfect concept.

If a trick is so perfect, is only one way to do it.

Well, then, that's the way you did it.

And to move with that kind of distance and that kind of speed would have to be a identical twin.

I'm not talking about Hugh Jackman or the overall movie.

Just that one trick.

A little stupid.

Yeah, man.

Me too, Peanut.

Just wait till next weekend.

Once I'm out of here, you're not gonna go paint this town red.

We'll have so much ice cream will never stop Youqing.

That's one of my favorite moments of magic.

Of all the stuff we're going to see today, that may be the only thing that was really done.

He actually did that magic trick.

Houdini.

I hope it's a Tony Curtis.

It is a boy putting locks being put in there, right in metal out there.

This is a little like something Houdini did.

This isn't that far off.

Looks as if you've got me pretty well locked up like that.

They're telling you what to do in this.

Like he's not the one who built and designed it and hasn't done it 1000 times.

Oh, yeah?

Put your hands like this.

Yes, I know.

I designed the trick.

Once you see locks in the magic show, you know they're bullshit, right?

The locks belong to the magician.

You have any keys?

Rig him anyway.

You want?

Will you hold this in front of me?

Oh, yes.

Surely that's a little too, huh?

Oh, sorry, But better luck next time.

When he does, they're the the adjusting the curtain while you're doing escape.

That is a standard gag that Houdini undoubtedly did.

One of the things you do in escape is you're one step ahead while they're putting you in.

The next thing you're already out of the thing before.

So he would be out of the be out of this before they even put the curtain up, have been able to do stuff Once again, he mentions there that that the guy built it like it was a challenge of the person brought in who needed a lot of that.

Need a lot of stuff where local brewery would build the beer barrel and challenge him to get out of it.

Of course, Houdini had sent them that plans for that beforehand.

So the guy might have, actually, because this is a movie.

So it's not true, but a new Dini's case.

He might have actually had the person make that apparatus, but they would have made it to his exact specifications.

He would have escaped from it hundreds of times before that practice.

The Illusionist.

This is a trick that Teller is obsessed with teller pitches.

This trick tow us to do all the time.

He always wants us to do a trick where Seed has put in a plant grows out of it.

Man Teller Teller loves this trick.

I hate this trick.

You'll never see this in the Penn and Teller show as long as I'm alive.

now the I believe the magic consultant on this was Ricky Jay on Ricky was one of the greatest minds that ever lived in Magic and a wonderful person.

And Ricky laid this out to be very close to what magicians would have really done at the turn of the last century.

Well, that's how Paul Gee, money, that's That's Chuck from billions in the movie.

You see the tree growing, the oranges get bigger when you would see this in a stage show, become with a cloth in between.

So maybe if it looked like this and getting our show, it's not gonna look like that.

It's gonna look like covering up a twig with a piece of cloth and sneaking in another plant while you're doing it sucks.

Mission Impossible.

Wow, this is amazing.

They made Tom Cruise look tall.

Oh, we're looking Tom.

He's playing the part of a magician Now, knowing how hard Tom Cruise works, he probably actually practiced that it's a It's a big thing that's supposed to going up his sleeve.

You made the disc disappear using using sleight of hand.

Now, if you're gonna do that for real, he might have actually done it for three other majors, taking on a few frames.

You just throw that in what's called the top it.

It's a little thing built into your suit code.

That's like a big pocket.

You can just throw something in.

And when he comes in like this, you could do that.

I don't.

He does, because why bother?

He's Tom Cruise, the incredible Burt Wonderstone.

This is this is Teller's favorite magic movie.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, they're acting out a little high school.

Oh, yeah, We're gonna be doing a sword cabinet here behind you.

Yeah, she would not be surprised when the world was gonna come That would be rehearsed.

I was wondering, Would you like to see it tonight?

That's essentially the way it would be done is to do a lot more swords and the person being another, more uncomfortable position.

And also you'd probably have the cabinet built in a cheating way to give you more room to hide in it as the swords went through.

One thing it's very accurate about this is how casual they are when you're doing these things that look incredibly death defying your very, very, very casual this is arrested Development.

I know this the TV show, but TV and movies have become the exact same thing now.

This is the most realistic thing we've seen so far.

For magic, this is exactly how real magic is done.

But, oh, yes, well, let's get you in the box.

Oh yeah, yeah, this is There's no CG.

I hear taking an old guy saving the boxes that all the time there's a panel just within around Carla behind and don't make any noise.

All right, in this clip, he tells the gentleman what to do when he gets in the box.

And that's called Instant Studio.

And it's interesting that you ca n't tell someone on stage to do something, and they just do it.

There's hardly ever a question.

We don't do much instance, Do Jing, because it's kind of not fun because it's more fun toe full, the persons on stage as well.

But that's a technique that's used, and the idea is that you give up folding one person or two full, the whole audience.

But I've just found it Maur fulfilling for everybody to have the person on stage full too.

So we have I think, without exception, we always fooled the person on stage.

Finally, the magnificent seven.

Show us our money.

30 50.

This is the new Ming of six.

Not drink, no tricks.

Now you can't resist picking card.

This is just knocked out there trying to show this as you can't resist picking card.

But in actuality, getting someone to pick a card, it's almost impossible.

Go to a party fan on deck of cards.

They wanna pick a card.

Everyone will say no, let's go on.

Commit the card to memory when you're ready, put the car back in the day.

Oh, yeah, I like that they're using, actually, an antique kind of deck that's nice with a shuffle.

They get some into ink artistry in the close up.

That's that's not the actor's hands.

You're That's a three hard card.

You didn't let me finish.

Oh, that's nice.

Is this your car?

He's performing under a lot of pressure.

There, a lot of pressure.

I think I'm better under pressure.

We were doing Saturday Night Live in the eighties, which is about as much pressure is we've been under because you've got whatever it is.

Eight million people watching you and it really is no kidding.

Life we did a bit was really, really hard, which was a bit where we were upside down in the audience at home.

Didn't know it as we could do all these levitation and vanished things with gravity being up there for hang upside down all day.

We've been working on it for six weeks, all the time to rehearsal, and there was an incredibly hard moving it where I had to wall.

I'm upside down how to do this juggling maneuver upside down looking like I was right side up with gravity backwards and really, really hard move.

And in all the rehearsals, I never did it once, right?

And then on Saturday Night Live with all the cameras rolling in front of eight million people was the only time I nailed it.

So offer my personality.

You put a couple of guns on me, I'm gonna do the best performance I'll ever do.

Other people, they just throw up.

I hope I I told you a little bit about how magic is done in movies and how movies talk about magic, and I hope you've learned something.
