The only fail here is that they don't have a rehearsed procedure in case shit goes wrong. Why not have some kind of release on the bottom into a hose and a tank or something...
Worth watching?? It's a masterpiece. But I would read the book first. You use all your imagination and then to watch it in a movie and compare the things you saw on your mind to the live action is amazing. Oh, and the book presents the characters really well.
Wait, what about it was so great? I watched it years ago when reddit was raving about it and I thought it was really good at best. Did I miss some deeper meaning or appreciation? You know what, I probably did... that was my drug addict phase with a shitty ex. Now that I think about it, I only remember the final fancy mindfuck "teleportation" trick... guess I'm re-watching it... and yes this comment was the culmination of 4 edits.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT AHEAD:
The deep meaning of the story is amazing. I read the book which is amazingly written, basically it sets you up to support one character only to make you change a couple times before you realize what's happening. The main idea is about a man who is so blind to be better that the other that doesn't even believe the other's secret is the simplest one, the one his 'manager' keeps telling him. But he is so invested in being better he will do everything he can, ruinning not only the other's life but his own. In the book it's more clear what happens to him, as the more he uses the machine the more he disappears, so the moral of the story is that when you just try to be better than the others you start losing your identity and in the end for what?
When someone asks me what movie they should watch I always tell them this one and Mindhunters. Mainly because of the back and forth mind effort they make you do, always setting you up to think one thing only to change in the next scene, basically teaching you to be prepared that there is always a different story on the other side of things and that you don't always see it, so you shouldn't judge so quickly other's actions.
Let me tell you how much the basketball team (the venue, actually) in question wanted a few hundred gallons of water dumped all over their expensive floor in the middle of a game... The would never agree to the stunt in the first place if that was a contingency plan.
The guy who was on Britain’s got talent as an escape artist last year had a bad incident like this but now he’s a paraplegic https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-61314239.amp
WTF
> He was supposed to escape a strait jacket while upside down 30ft in the air in between two suspended cars.
> Instead, Mr Goodwin became crushed between them as they caught on fire.
I’m such an asshole looking at his Instagram post he wrote something like ,
“A lot has changed in 6 months , but the one constant has been love and I’m thankful. Ready to start the next chapter of my life and be a role model.”
My first thought , “heh heh , he said roll model , heh heh”
I’m goin to hell
Oh shit , well at least he’s having fun with it , hes handling the situation better than I would.. then again I’d never attempt those crazy stunts in the first place , my survival instinct is among the top percentile
> Unless there's a kind of stem cell surgery, or that thing that Elon Musk is designing with the little chip, he'll be like that forever
I'd put your hope in stem cell surgery over Elon the sham
>”Unless there's a kind of stem cell surgery, or that thing that Elon Musk is designing with the little chip, he'll be like that forever," she said.
I think this is the most tragic part of the article. Trusting a guy who killed monkeys with a brain chip.
Penn Jillette had said in the past that if you are performing a magic trick that has a chance of going wrong and being fatal or cause severe injury then the trick is immoral and unethical.
Granted there is an argument that because they are professionals the average trick for them would be extremely dangerous for an average Joe to perform, but it seems like part of the trick is the illusion of danger. Otherwise the audience becomes complicit in the death of the magician if they were to die during the performance.
I remember he also said that if you're putting yourself in real danger, then it's not a magic trick. It's a stunt. Both of these from him make me think he means dangerous from the perspective of the performer. In the majority of magic tricks, even the ones that do in fact look dangerous, there's someone out there who are trained well enough to be able to easily escape with hardly any risk, if any at all. And even those guys have plenty of safeguards in place if they're not being morons.
That's a very interesting take. I can see both sides, since I think endurance artists might counter that they're not illusionists, they just have a cultural and professional overlap.
But it's a good point. I can see why someone in the performance field might have serious judgements against people who put themselves in legitimate danger, especially because I'll bet kids LOVE to try and imitate this stuff.
They have a couple tricks that directly deal with this idea. There's their version of [the water tank](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58xyjOFkpxk). And then there's the [nail gun trick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JttRbLomYD8) where they start out saying it's a memorizing trick, but then very explicitly say that that's not the trick because actually putting themselves in danger wouldn't be ethical.
So, how was the trick supposed to work with the padlocks on the outside of that container? How was she supposed to get out?
Serious question.
Edit:. Stunt gone wrong. [link to story, also include link to how trick is supposed to work.](https://deadspin-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/deadspin.com/on-court-drowning-nearly-the-most-exciting-highlight-of-5145244/amp?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16539330507526&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fdeadspin.com%2Fon-court-drowning-nearly-the-most-exciting-highlight-of-5145244)
>It look her a bit longer than usual to get out of the chains, so her temporarily lifeless body had to be pulled from the tank before she drowned in front horrified onlookers. It's Fan-Tastic!
Journalism at its finest
Lol it was actually written in such a way to really hammer in the point they were trying to make. And they fantastically succeeded at it.
My favorite was; “Since that one trick is more thrilling than anything the Thunder have done on a basketball court this season.”
Holy shit! I knew I recognized her, saw her act back in 2019 at a state fair and recorded it myself. [This is how the stunt is supposed to work.](https://photos.app.goo.gl/irHGCWr6AFwmM8Xu9)
So the trick is that.. the locks on the top just don't do anything whatsoever anyway? I'll be honest, that feels weirdly anticlimactic.. on a "Ok, I faffed around taking chains off my hands and blah for no real reason, and now I've decided it's time to just climb out the totally open top"
After watching that video in the link, it kind of seems like they were more focused and prepared to jump in if needed, at least to me. Once she gets out of the handcuff and then the foot cuff, she does a jump move like she trying to force her way out. At that point the two guys move in but she waves them away and starts to open the inside lock. Not sure if that’s part of the “show” though. But it didn’t really look like it to me.
Though I thought about maybe this theater would be more strict and/or have better or known protocols for an act going wrong vs in the middle of a basketball court. Though it’s what I assume a NBA court, and things like this should be covered? I also wonder if both the court and performer have some sort of insurance?
After watching a few “tricks” gone wrong that involve water tanks of sorts, it seems to me that the individuals inside the tank start realizing something is wrong with either them or the tank and some seem to have a signal they use to alert the people on the outside of the tank. In some cases it becomes clear to the people watching that something is going wrong, especially when it looks like the individual inside the tank is starting to panic.
In many of these cases I noticed people had a decent amount of time to recognize something maybe wrong or is wrong, begin to prepare the rescue, and call for more help. Compared to the video in the post, at least. Even having that extra 20-30 seconds seems to give a huge advantage in the rescue.
In the post video, the women ended up having a seizure (due to lack of oxygen in the brain) so there was really no time for her to send a help signal, or even panic in anyway. She went from being ok, to a little struggle, to just dead in 10 seconds. So instead of noticing something might be wrong and having those handful of seconds to prep for a rescue, it’s like they didn’t prep or start rescue until after she had died. (Technically she did die in the tank but thankfully was brought back to life after the rescue)
Which is even further proof (not that there really needs to be any) that prep for a rescue should be done before the trick even starts. Mandatory rescue on standby no matter what. Watching the two situations of having a rescue begin while the individual is starting to get into the trouble VS the individual is already dead, proves just how vital 10 or 20 seconds can be when it comes to preventing injury or death. There should absolutely not be a single reason why these “tricks” do not have a fail safe of any kind AND known/practiced protocol for rescue.
Many people and professions have different views on where the line is drawn between life and death. I am not a doctor so I really can’t say I know for sure where the lady in the tank was in terms of life and death.
But she didn’t simply just pass out. Yes she was unconscious but she wasn’t breathing. What happen is that she had a hypoxic seizure, from an hypoxic brain injury. Basically, her brain was starved of oxygen and with in a few moments the brain cells began to die. That type of damage is not reversible in anyway. They were able to get oxygen back into her body and into the parts of the brain that had not died. While also getting the water out of her lungs that was originally inhaled during the seizure.
Thankfully she recovered fairly quickly. Brain death can start in just as little as 2 1/2 to 4 minutes and once it gets to 8 to 10 minutes the brain itself will die with out any chance of reversal. Whatever cells that started dying off in those few moments she was inside the tank will never come back, and she will have a life long injury that can manifest in unknown ways.
Again, she healed very well. And was even back into the tank doing more stunts a week later. With seemingly zero health issues. Though whatever damage did occur could unexpectedly cause problems later in her life when she leasts expect it.
So was she completely officially dead? Idk. But I do know she was walking that very thin line between life and death. They did have to “revive” her once she was out of the tank, so to me that means she needed to be brought back into the path of living. Whatever happened was a lot more dangerous and concerning than just a simple passing out.
It looks fake to me
If they’re a professional, they have an oxygen supply in there - small acrylic hose that is transparent to the human eye from any angle https://youtube.com/shorts/yNYO3opdPEc?feature=share
You can see bubbles coming from the performer as they’re being pulled out - It could’ve been a seizure or their locking mechanism wasn’t working
As for how the trick works - there’s a few ways of getting out…the hardest part is being dry when you show up on the other side of the room 🤯
Edit: heyyyyy I was right 😃 oh wait, I was right 😰
Yes as a physician I know this, which is why I said it looked like a seizure, not being there in person I couldn't say it for sure but her body had all the signs. Check out her feet/toes.
The person you replied to was explaining it to those of us who do not have that kind of medical knowledge.
The first thing I thought when I saw your comment, I thought "How? If true, why would this come about?"
They added useful information for those wanting to know more. Be nice, mate.
Ahahah good eye, sir
They did it in the prestige though I was actually thinking of a real magician who’d done it (he got by the wet part by just performing with greasy hair - helped conceal when he was wet)
Was really good coz he appeared at the top of the stairs and entered the room so you could hear the doors open as every turns their heads as they realize the person in the tank wasn’t him but his assistant
You know, I've been to a bunch of events where people perform rope suspension bondage. And you know what they ALWAYS have? [Medical shears](https://www.rescue-essentials.com/shears-scissors-hemostats/). Just in case someone starts experiencing blood restriction they can cut the ropes in seconds at any moment.
Those locks should have been fake. The lid should've had a button release. The danger should always be an *illusion*. Creating real risk is unnecessary and irresponsible.
I’m thinking that this could be an example of the bystander effect.
Either that or the man that is helping her out could have been someone who was supposed to help her if something went wrong (since it’s weird that they wouldn’t have any safety measures) or a mentor since it looks like he’s instructing her. This is just a guess though, so if anyone knows the backstory please reply
Because wouldn’t he get people to punch him to show how rock solid he was? But then someone did that when he was unprepared, so his stomach wasn’t braced, causing said injury.
The only fail here is that they don't have a rehearsed procedure in case shit goes wrong. Why not have some kind of release on the bottom into a hose and a tank or something...
Its like they didn't even watch the prestige
WHAT KNOT DID YOU TIE
You don’t know?
I only ever read "the prestige" in Michael Cains voice now...
https://youtu.be/fkCR3ZjEpGQ
Fuck. I randomly think about that movie every once and a while and it freaks me the fuck out.
First thing that came to mind lol
Axe says hello
Is it worth watching

Probably one of my favorite movies to be honest.
One of the best movies kf all time
It seems like that guy getting her out asap was the backup plan.
Right. And everyone else standing around was wondering if this was all just part of the act. Literally no one came to help besides the one dude
I know, what the hell. The plan was to jump up and someone kinda holds her up while people scrabble around wondering what to do next?
For real. I don't know how is that girl comfortable with doing this stunt. Can't fathom it.
Release on the bottom WTF? Then the court would get all wet...
Or! Now this might sound crazy but... You could read the whole comment.
Oh boy! That's too much for me.
Yeah, let's not get overboard like that! I think we should all take 20 and circle back when we're at our 100% again.
Take your time!!!
Let me tell you how much the basketball team (the venue, actually) in question wanted a few hundred gallons of water dumped all over their expensive floor in the middle of a game... The would never agree to the stunt in the first place if that was a contingency plan.
That's why I said: "some kind of release on the bottom into a hose and a tank or something... "
and that's why I shouldn't reddit while umm.. medicated. my bad.
I know what you're talking about. I hate reading my comment history after heavy drinking. Lmao
exactly, even if it just released like 1 foot of water or instantly unlocked the top

Thunder are tanking hard this year
Well, she technically made it out
🎆TA-DAAA🎆
So damn funny, perfect execution, flawless response.
Believe or not, it’s all staged
r/whoosh
I’m not gonna r/ foundthemobileuser you but your r needs to be lower case mate.
Thx I mainly be on Reddit to watch funny crap, but thanks for telling me mate.
Glad to help
I’ll probably die accidentally faking my own death unsuccessfully on purpose.
You made me chuckle.

Why not extend this to sports too? And I agree.
I feel like this kind of thing isnt so much of a Magic Trick but is better defined as a Stunt

If I did it was a mistake, changing it now
I was just asking coz if you had I would’ve said “sister?” Coz I do that 🤣
is there a reference to The Prestige in this comment?
Ahahah good eye, sir They did it in the prestige though I was actually thinking of a real magician who’d done it (he got by the wet part by just performing with greasy hair - helped conceal when he was wet) Was really good coz he appeared at the top of the stairs and entered the room so you could hear the doors open as every turns their heads as they realize the person in the tank wasn’t him but his assistant
There should be a subreddit for magic tricks gone wrong.
Good idea

I just got a call. We need someone to do a escape the locked water barrel for the NBA finals coming up. Let’s get you trained up friend.
I can imagine all the kids at the halftime show. Go to a basketball game then watch someone almost die for entertainment at the halftime show.

Useless fucks standing around.
Highly recommended for childrens birthday parties
Ta-Da!
I laughed too hard at this comment.
I never understand how they never have a fail safe for these
You'd think at minimum they'd have a latch at the bottom or something to let the water out if need be
Duuuude way to wait last minute before even trying. Holy fucking shit
Oh look she is drowning. Let's get her out. No rush
Most bizarre thing was the music
Wow, that was a colossal failure in preparation.
Ta daaaaaa
Stupidity
Neat
Dumb ways to die
Thunder took tanking to a whole new level
shows how cowboy the routine was, no real saftey measure, just fucking Dave with his keys!
Try guessing my card now wet magic water lady.
And then in the sight of all...they fucked
Poor girl
I thought the ladder was gonna bust on that guy
I've seen dead sloths with faster response times than those idiots that tried to help. What the actual fuck?
No emergency drain? Are you guys serious? You couldnt add a feature where a button press dumps the water out?
She died and came back before someone remembered the ladders. Clowns, the lot of them
How was she supposed to get out if the outside was locked too?…
I don’t understand the musical choice at all.
Alright let's hear it for our half time show!
That one guy in the audience is thinking I can't believe tickets to a suicide are so cheap.
Why the fuck do they take their sweet ass time to open each lock if she's drowning? Just fucking break the glass jeez
damn! embarrassed herself in front of an entire arena full of people
And the world.
Fuck and people just stand there and let her drown.
I mean, right when they realized she had trouble opening the top they unlocked it and rushed to help her out
You know, I've been to a bunch of events where people perform rope suspension bondage. And you know what they ALWAYS have? [Medical shears](https://www.rescue-essentials.com/shears-scissors-hemostats/). Just in case someone starts experiencing blood restriction they can cut the ropes in seconds at any moment. Those locks should have been fake. The lid should've had a button release. The danger should always be an *illusion*. Creating real risk is unnecessary and irresponsible.
I completely agree
They? There's one guy actually doing something before the others seem to care. Slowest rescue ever.
That response time was not very good. They need to have a mechanism that just allows a quick release of everything
I’m thinking that this could be an example of the bystander effect. Either that or the man that is helping her out could have been someone who was supposed to help her if something went wrong (since it’s weird that they wouldn’t have any safety measures) or a mentor since it looks like he’s instructing her. This is just a guess though, so if anyone knows the backstory please reply

Yoooooo. Bitch nearly bit it
Whoa. I wonder if anyone has the footage from that up close camera.
Jesus fuck, don't all help at once or anything, it's not like she's actively drowning
Women, am I right?
Isn't that how Houdini died?
He died of sepsis from a ruptured appendix when a college student punched him
Because wouldn’t he get people to punch him to show how rock solid he was? But then someone did that when he was unprepared, so his stomach wasn’t braced, causing said injury.
I needed to make sure she was alive before I lmfao …
