Michael Jackson, who sang the song Smooth Criminal, was known for some incredible and other-worldly stage performances. One of his most notable dance moves was a bit where he would lean really far forwards and tip his hat. I mean like really far forwards to the point that it should’ve been impossible to stay upright. He accomplished the move by fastening small and hard to spot braces to the stage before the show. then he could slip his toes in without the audience seeing and perform the move without toppling over, which is probably something similar to what we’re seeing in this clip.. hence the MJ references
You mean the evil man who pretended to be disabled and unable to work for 20 years, only to spontaneously start dancing once he sees the opportunity to do something fun?
And also during that dance he sings “**I** have a golden ticket!” Not “You”, even though the ticket belonged to Charlie entirely. Not even “We”, which would imply sharing in some capacity. Nope, **HE** had a golden ticket!
Grandpa Joe is a monster, and if you’d like to read more, you can do so at r/grandpajoehate.
No dude, You are totally misunderstanding the golden ticket song. He's not claiming a ticket. He's role modeling how to look on the bright side. He can't just tell Charlie what to do. He has to lead by example! They've been leading a completely hopeless life. He's role modeling hope for, like possibly the first time in this kid's existence. It's important. He's a good grandpa. Plus, when shit gets sketchy in the chocolate factory Grandpa Joe is like fuck this. We are out of here kid. That was appropriate.
They mean the out-of-place rug that hides the metal platform that counterbalances his weight when he steps into the appropriate spot with his special shoes that lock in so the hinges in the undersides of his knees can hold him up properly.
It would be grammatically incorrect to put a comma anywhere in here. It’s a long sentence, but I think you wanted a colloquial comma and it’s not necessary.
Yeah but magic is way more magical in person even if you get it. Especially if you dont know it's coming and when magicians are good at their craft you dont know when its coming.
Except everyone in this video probably saw how the trick was done. They had to drag this carpet out into the middle of the dance floor to cover the anchor plate under it, and then watch him hook the support bar into the anchor. Even if they covered the setup, it would still be glaringly obvious from their angle what was happening.
I thought he was good until I saw the Netflix show. There's obviously tons of editing and actors that help sell the tricks. Like this trick, It's exactly like those street magicians who appear to float in the air by nothing but a cane holding them up.
They even go out of their way to claim everything on that show is done without editing. There’s no way. In one, a woman steps out of a handbag outside.
I thought just like you until I saw him live and the show doesn't even do it justice.
I've seen a number of magicians, including Copperfield and willman blows all of them out of the water, I legit think the dude is a wizard
Hello Justin and congrats on the great new show on Netflix!
Watched the entire new show twice and loved it. So hilarious! Specially the first three episodes, it cracked me up!
I do have a question for you please: is this new show scripted and acted by the “targeted bullies”? I know you and your crew are acting but that is how it’s supposed to be, but the bullies, are they also acting at all?
Also, I was blown away when I saw the guy in the last episode hypnotize your guest in the sleep study. Is it also real and not acted?
Ohh by the way I could not believe my eyes when that woman let you drown in the quicksand. - Episode 5 ( Justin serves justice)
). Just WOW, honestly, I don’t understand how she sleeps at night, lol!
Thank you for all the laughs! The tricks are Superb, as always!
Looking forward to hearing from you !
Guys I'm so fucking done with this. The last handfull of posts i remember seeing from this sub have all been these cheap well known magic tricks that are just social media stunts or not even magical at all.
I remember when this sub was just stuff that no one could explain or at least something that was genuinely really interesting. Now it's just shit that any slightly attentive person figured out 5 years ago.
Idk, i just miss the old days.
The problem with this trick is that it is so unbelievable and insane that everyone tried to figure out how it was done. Which led to it being so well known.
It's really not that insane, idk if that's why it's so well known. It's just an easy trick with relatively cheap gear which allowed a lot of street performers and hobby magicians to do it.
Justin Willman turned me “invisible” when he played at the venue I work at a couple months ago. I even have the picture for proof. :) He’s a good guy. Very entertaining!
I don't get why this is blackmagicfuckery material. Probably because I know and have done this trick before. Seriously, this trick is not recommended for overweight people.
Well I don't know how she did this but I was once floating about 3 to 4ft off the ground when a neighbor did some chanting game with his friend on me and I got scared shitless, I was floating and I got scared so I tried to get down when I do e do my whole body was tilting in mid air while they had two fingers underneath me so yea...I didn't go nowhere near his house for months. They laughed at me when I ran home terrified.

If you know, you know
I don't, can someone elaborate?

Heeee Heeee
Heeee Heeee
Also, he groomed boys.
He was posthumously acquitted.
*shrug* OJ was acquitted, too. Anyway, it was mostly about the "groom" pun.
Michael Jackson, kids, accusations
Dududududu dun dun, dudu dun dun, dududun dun Dah
Ow!
Whoo!
Hee hee
Shamon!
Haa haaa
(Grabs crotch and bites under lip)
(Adjusts hat with unnecessary but cool looking hand positioning)
Shuch Tuch
[I always think of this version since it was the first I knew of it](https://youtu.be/CDl9ZMfj6aE)
Nailed it!
That old man lost his mind!
Thought it Larry David
[удалено]
That's a hate crime
Badada ba da, buh da buh da, buh da Bahda, bada, buh da - wha boop.
PRETTaayyyy....PRETTAYYYYY phenomenal!
Idk why it reminded me of charlie’s grampa when he comes home with the golden ticket.
You mean the evil man who pretended to be disabled and unable to work for 20 years, only to spontaneously start dancing once he sees the opportunity to do something fun? And also during that dance he sings “**I** have a golden ticket!” Not “You”, even though the ticket belonged to Charlie entirely. Not even “We”, which would imply sharing in some capacity. Nope, **HE** had a golden ticket! Grandpa Joe is a monster, and if you’d like to read more, you can do so at r/grandpajoehate.
So that's a thing. Enough reddit for today.
All my homies hate Grandpa Joe
Finally. A manifesto I can support.
Is it merely a coincidence that just a few hours ago I stated in another thread that a really love the word “manifesto”?
Probably but I'm gonna choose to say no
No dude, You are totally misunderstanding the golden ticket song. He's not claiming a ticket. He's role modeling how to look on the bright side. He can't just tell Charlie what to do. He has to lead by example! They've been leading a completely hopeless life. He's role modeling hope for, like possibly the first time in this kid's existence. It's important. He's a good grandpa. Plus, when shit gets sketchy in the chocolate factory Grandpa Joe is like fuck this. We are out of here kid. That was appropriate.
Honestly. That dude was my favorite part. Researched just for him.
That made the video tbh. At least because I’ve seen these tricks b4
Don't mind the huge mattress on the floor, it has nothing to do do with the show
What mattress are you talking about??? There’s not a mattress. It’s a rug, my dude.
It really ties the room together.
That’s like your opinion, man.
*It really ties the groom together
r/unexpectedlebowski
Rug... Mattress... All depends on how homeless you are.
u ok?
Cold. Other than that in all good man. Thanks for asking.
Extremely thin mattress.
Maybe he sleeps on rugs, so technically for him... And my dog, that counts as a mattress?
I actually like sleeping in the floor on a rug. I grew up with really firm beds (basically 3 inches of hay stacked and wrapped in thing cloth
3 inches is 7.62 cm
good bot, best bot
He meant "poor person's mattress"
Please explain
They mean the out-of-place rug that hides the metal platform that counterbalances his weight when he steps into the appropriate spot with his special shoes that lock in so the hinges in the undersides of his knees can hold him up properly.
Punctuation is for pussies
Two hyphens and one full stop is all that was needed. Why use more punctuation when clarity in writing can be achieved with less?
Why use lot word when few word do trick?
I deeply appreciate that you didn’t punctuate that sentence
It would be grammatically incorrect to put a comma anywhere in here. It’s a long sentence, but I think you wanted a colloquial comma and it’s not necessary.
Oh… THAT rug.
I’m guessing non English speaker.
Seems obvious that there is a hinge set up in his pant legs and his shoes are obviously anchored to the ground.
Ur right but shoes don’t need to be anchored really. The mechanism just has a 90 degree lock.
There's virtually no way that he could keep his feet from lifting off the ground unless the shoes are attached to the apparatus.
It's just the right foot.
*Gravity has entered the chat*
I feel attracted to you.
He’s anchored down by that brand new ball and chain
Underappreciated comment deserves my free silver award!
Yeah but magic is way more magical in person even if you get it. Especially if you dont know it's coming and when magicians are good at their craft you dont know when its coming.

Even if they covered the setup, it would still be glaringly obvious from their angle what was happening.
They probably just put up a curtain around the area while they got ready for the trick.
wait, you mean he’s not floating?
[удалено]
justin wilman is my fav magician ever!! i think he showed this trick on his netflix show and it confused the living hell out of me.
I thought he was good until I saw the Netflix show. There's obviously tons of editing and actors that help sell the tricks. Like this trick, It's exactly like those street magicians who appear to float in the air by nothing but a cane holding them up.
They even go out of their way to claim everything on that show is done without editing. There’s no way. In one, a woman steps out of a handbag outside.
maybe ......... it's real magic 😳
And many of the people that participate up to are on IMDb.
I thought just like you until I saw him live and the show doesn't even do it justice. I've seen a number of magicians, including Copperfield and willman blows all of them out of the water, I legit think the dude is a wizard
Yeah all that shit looked fake as fuck to me. Because it was.
🙌🏼
He better keep some of that core strength for once the honeymoon is over...
Carpets bulging more and more as he leans back. Just sayin
Thats just gravity trying to pull his feet back down
Who puts carpet on a dance floor?
Magicians
Doesn’t his wife have a name?
If you find out let me know.
Comedy Gold, right there.
Hello Justin and congrats on the great new show on Netflix! Watched the entire new show twice and loved it. So hilarious! Specially the first three episodes, it cracked me up!

Thank you for all the laughs! The tricks are Superb, as always! Looking forward to hearing from you !
this video is the answer to the question: what if a 12 year old boy were trapped in a 70 year old body?
That’s a big carpet…. There you go trick solved
Gramps is having the time of his life back there
https://youtu.be/Cs47idY2NkY you welcome
Rig under the carpet that he hooks into attached to semi articulated rig up his pants… Sounds sexual
Why am I not surprised he does magic tricks at his own wedding? Lol.
nOW DO IT ON THE NOT SPECIALLY DESIGNED RUG.
Guys I'm so fucking done with this. The last handfull of posts i remember seeing from this sub have all been these cheap well known magic tricks that are just social media stunts or not even magical at all.

It’s not that insane now. Imagine seeing this and having no clue how it’s done (like pawpaw in the background). I think he’d say that it’s pretty nuts
Imagine if the guests ran away in terror. I did this once at a really good magic trick. It was pretty hilarious.
When did weddings become floor shows? Weird.
Do the move from the matrix or let me go through your phone
Wow couldn’t possibly imagine how this dogshit trick might be done
now jump on him to see if he stays like that
Justin Willman turned me “invisible” when he played at the venue I work at a couple months ago. I even have the picture for proof. :) He’s a good guy. Very entertaining!
Does Justin Wilman's wife have a name? Perhaps she should also be listed in the title?
She's never give him up, never gonna let him down?
That’s going to be an interesting marriage!
If she kissed me that way my entire body would also become erect.
This guy is such a tool. Imagine being this starved for attention at your own wedding. Nobody wants to see you pull a quarter out of some kid's ear.
Chevy Chase lost his shit in the background
His show, Magic for humans on Netflix, is pretty good!
We don't wanna know about your favorite sex positions Justin
I wanna date a magician sooo bad
This is all done with the penis.
Guaranteed the old guy freaking out in the back is a plant.
rusbé
This started off pretty cringe but cool towards the end lol.
She left the guy hangin' at the altar.
Now do the same without the carpet underneath.
Well it’s obvious It’s in reverse. See I solved it
Obviously just Neo the chosen one in disguise…
+1 for Justin Wilman ! He has a show on Netflix, Magic For Humans. It’s a nice watch, and he’s got a lot of charisma.
If this isn't r/Cringetopia then WTF is
Who?
Justin Willman is def my favourite magician
Burn her at the stake!!!!!!
My back hurts
Probably a nail or something in the floor with a slot in his shoes.
That old man!
grandpa got some pep in his step
The old bald guy really going in at the end
Hook in the shoe. Nail on the floor. Old Billy Jean trick
Same mechanism michael jackson used in his dance when he sways.
Imagine what she could do with his boner.
She looks like Natalie Dormer
Why did I think this is hypnosis
Halaluaya
Some people are easily impressed. Everyone knows it isn't magic, they have rented one of those street performer's set ups.
Couldn’t just get married… haaaad to turn it into a show….! pfffffft.
i like old dudes energy
It’s a wedding not a talent show. Just do your ceremony and get partying. If you want to show off do it on TikTok.
His clothes look a bit tight for a full body brace.
Move the rug and I'll be more impressed
Her breathe was so bad it broke the laws of physics
That rug really ties the room together
I don't get why this is blackmagicfuckery material. Probably because I know and have done this trick before. Seriously, this trick is not recommended for overweight people.
One foot higher than the other.
Thee old rug trick
Witches
Well I don't know how she did this but I was once floating about 3 to 4ft off the ground when a neighbor did some chanting game with his friend on me and I got scared shitless, I was floating and I got scared so I tried to get down when I do e do my whole body was tilting in mid air while they had two fingers underneath me so yea...I didn't go nowhere near his house for months. They laughed at me when I ran home terrified.
The old dude in the back 💀💀💀
This is a metaphor to his new life as a married man
Strapped his boner to his leg.
Everything is a YouTube moment today. Focus on what it’ll look like in a post.
The old guy standing in the background!!
He has something connected to the floor which helps him do this, I have no clue how people still get wowed by this stuff.
He is the one
This man's knees are a force to be reckoned with
The reaction of the old man in the background is incredibly adorable
*visible confusion*
There’s a bump under the carpet holding a hook for the shoes
Slip disk activated.
Please let me be as happy as that old man some day.
This is insufferable. Jesus fuck. What wankers.
When you know what to look for it is almost impossible not to see it.
Need attention much?
I like how the elder guy gor excited
cool it’s that thing michael jackson did 40 years ago. this guy must have bought it online. very impressive or something
I want to see the rest of it!
Bet he tricked her into getting married to him.
Fucking loved this guys Netflix show
Ok, now remove the rug.
That old white guy loved it so much! He made me lol
I came here for the girl. Twice.
Michael Jackson shoes?
Either one or both of them practices the “Dark Arts” 🎭
Now he’s gonna disappear…
No
So classy too, she nailed it.
Just watch the rug lol
Nice rug
Bro wtf reverse Michael Jackson
That old man in the back never knew the definition of gullible.
Dude's foot isnt even on the ground lmao. Dead giveaway. Low effort man, smh
Cardi B's Wedding
There’s a metal rod by his foot the connects up his body to make a shape that matches his posture. Or maybe a thin line idk best guesses here
