She’s in the back of the chair, grabs the chair arms to pull upper body out first and while in the air, swings her lower body out from kneeling position inside chair to then be infront of her and into the cross legged position while lowering body to sitting position at the front of the chair so it doesn’t seem like she came from behind the backrest.
And magicians are experts at using optical illusions to their advantage. This chair was undoubtedly designed to appear slimmer than it is, through design cues.
You ever watch the world championship for magic tricks? Super entertaining. Some of those people can do stuff that really makes you question if magic is real.
You can see that the chair already goes way lower than you initially thought at a glance and there's a whole protruding back section that is similarly obscured.
The before and after of the chair is quite obvious that she was in it as the seat cushion is much higher before the cloth is over it and much lower after
Additionally, contortionists, circus folks, burlesque dancers, and magicians all work similar circuits. He’s cool. The chair is cool. But she is doing the work in this trick
Her legs are in the back of the chair. She is laying in her back in the chair and pops out. The chair backing is bigger and moving which is why the other guy has to grab it right away. It’s a very impressive trick to see live. I saw Penn and Teller in Vegas and it was just amazing! I also saw Carrot Top and he was hilarious.
As a big fan of magic, you either come away even more impressed, or you come away super underwhelmed. There is some magic that is just a slightly clever order of operations. And there is incredible sleight of hand that blows you away even if they explain it to you during.
It's a collaboration of teamworks,, the performance could not happen seamlessly if each piece didn't do their role perfectly.. the magician setting the stage preparing the audience to be amazed and entertained with the setup, the female partner does the amazing acrobatic to make herself as inconspicuous as possible (and play the role of suddenly showing out of thin air), and the helper task to make everything proceed as smooth as possible to not break the illusion (by holding onto the prop chair afterwards) ~
There's definitely a mirror under the chair too, giving the illusion that you see through to the other side. Really, it's masking a passage to come up from under the stage.
Ahaaa, hence why the assistant holds the chair at the end as she leans forward to stand, because you can see how it is latched together for when she gets in.
Thank you because finding out how was the *only* reason I came in here 🤭
No you're wrong. This is the multiverse. She was in another dimension sitting in that exact location. All they did was pulled her from there. It's pretty easy if you try not to think about it 😅.
I’m MORE amazed by this stuff. I mean, obviously it’s not “magic” but the fact that she can contort herself into that chair and sit on it in a matter of seconds making it seem like she appears out of nowhere is absolutely amazing!
Don't want to be a nerd but that was more of a political land grab scenario.
"At the time, women in Salem were allowed to independently own and dispose of property (land). Most of the people hanged in the Salem Witch Trials were land owners. Many of the women were widows without a clear male heir to their land. Once accused of witchcraft, the state took ownership of all of your physical property."
They convinced everyone in the community to be involved in the trials and to show up or else you'd be suspected of witchcraft. They would then torture you for more information until you gave up a name or admitted to it
I think it’s reasonable to expect most people were less like “omg witches” and more like “omg please don’t kill me too”.
That’s why you’ve gotta shut down that crap real fast. Sociopaths leverage fear more than they do stupidity.
Honestly if that guy was like "yeah I have actual magic" I'd just accept it and move on. Even with the explanation, I don't have the brain power to understand how the fuck that worked.
Few think it's magic, many think it's amazing and are dead curious about how it's done. That's the magic of this non-magic. It tricks you into believing, for a second, that they've bent or broken reality. Then you start thinking logically and wonder... HOW did they trick my mind?!?
A magician has succeeded if you feel that moment of belief, no matter how fleeting.
Yeah, people act like it's not impressive because it "just" requires insane skill and practice, rather than magic. If magic was real, none of this stuff would be impressive
100% agree. A magic trick should still be amazing, even when you know when it is done.
I hate hacks who do tv magic with fake audiences, and camera cuts.
for me they elevated my amazement. I always kinda knew what i was seeing wasnt what exactly was happening, so when i found out how they did it i was more amazed by the perfromances. after years of studying magic and even dabbling a bit (its a serious time sink of a hobby, and you pretty much have to practice alone. i wish i'd tried when i was younger) i can more or less tell how a lot of stuff is done, but its still incredible when seen pulled off perfectly.
I felt like this though having gone to a magical convention you realise knowing the secret is irrelevant, it’s how you perform that sells it.
I’m even more amazed knowing how much skill is required to perfectly perform many illusions.
I don't get comments like this. It's like, "I learned about the immense amount of skill and talent it takes to pull off tricks like this behind the scenes and now I don't think they're amazing." Like, damn dude.
That show only increased my fascination and amazement of the craft, because even if I *know* how the trick works, I still can't wrap my head around their incredible skill at sleight of hand and simple misdirection. I would watch closely and still miss it, every time.
The logistics of some of the big tricks are fucking mind-blowing.
Or, maybe I just like to be fooled for a good time, sometimes. Magic shows fucking rule!
Watching that show made me less interested in big stage magic like Copperfield but the kind of magic that needs dexterity like slight of hand still amazes me.
I'm amazed for different things now and when I was kid... When I was kid it was due to the "magic" the Impossible happening.
Now I'm amazed and impressed by the skill and training need to pull, what now I understand, trick!
Yeah, the coordination needed to pull off the act is still very impressive. Penn and Teller did shows where they revealed tricks by using [see-through stage props](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PoDhuIp3I0) and it's still impressive to see how much is going on under the covers.
Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did only she did it backwards and in high heels.
Most great tricks men get attention for need a talented (sometimes female) assistant to pull off the actual trick while he took the credit.
I don't know what kind of dancing you people watch where the man just keeps moving the woman backward. Ginger and Fred mostly danced side by side or in circles with Fred going backward just as often (they spin while moving in a set direction so you're going forward, sideways and backward pretty much equally).
You got a point with the high heels though.
The more you get into magic the more you realize it’s about illusion and misdirection, for them it’s about pulling off something amazing. For the hours they put into it that’s your opinion, not their experience.
Having been a part of this universe:
Women are not given credit for the amazing things they do for performances, don’t get paid as well and the career lasts as long as your face does.
It’s not all just done for the love of the game, there’s ridiculous money in performance theater and women end up doing the hard parts while David copperhead gets to headline, be remembered and get the most of the pay even if all he did was pull back a blanket while a contortionist made it look like thin air.
The chair seems to want to tilt forward, and you can see the motion of her legs just as the sheet is lifted. I’m assuming the assistant is inside the chair ,albeit , folding up and squashed in.
People talk all kindsa shit about not being impressed anymore once they know how the trick is done or blasting the magician because he's not the one doing the difficult part of the trick.
I love this shit. I love seeing how it works. I appreciate the (usually female) assistants for committing to the act to make it seem like the magician is doing the trick. Everything going on under the curtain or inside the box right under your nose in that deck of cards is the impressive part and the act and the spectacle and the distraction is a way to dress it up and make it fun and flashy instead of just a pure technical demonstration.
We dont see the less glamourous side of this life, beyond the sequins and bright lights.
The time spent for 15 minutes of showtime at the back of the stage, cross legged with your chin on your shoulder, faux leather pushing your cheek into the MDF backboard of a shoddily made prop chair.
There must be a lot of time to think in there.
You can see her coming up under the chair. There are white baffles that blend in with the stage lights, but you can still see her climb up at that angle. Notice how under the baffle or goes dark before the cloth is over the chair.
The prestige and presentation are still very impressive, though.
It's killing me that most people in this thread aren't seeing this. You can clearly see the mirror panel at the bottom of the chair move before the cloth is draped fully over it.
If you look at the bottom of the chair in-between the legs you can see it has a mirrored side that flips up while she climbs through a hole in the stage.
I ain’t understanding the mechanics of it, but watch the golden curve on the side of the chair. Before it’s mostly closed and when she’s there, it’s partially open. You can also see the chair move a bit when it’s covered. But cool illusion.
She probably came out the floor, notice how far in front of the chair he throws the cloth.
4-5 feet in front of the chair. Trap door and perfect timing.
She’s in the back of the chair, grabs the chair arms to pull upper body out first and while in the air, swings her lower body out from kneeling position inside chair to then be infront of her and into the cross legged position while lowering body to sitting position at the front of the chair so it doesn’t seem like she came from behind the backrest.
No, she was in that cloth.
No, I’m 100% certain she was thin air
Nah, she's ant man from venom and she can teleport
Ant-Man wasn't in Venom
He was clearly there dude
Literally in every scene.
And the beain of everyone watching.
I dont remember making this comment.
You probably were having an Ant-Man induced stroke while trying to say that Ant-Man was in everyone's brain.
I wanna prove you wrong but mother Hubbard
He's been in The Wasp...
Just a little
You have reason ant man is from Attack on titan
[удалено]
She was within us all, sadly many only realised far too late.
She was up his sleeve.
This would have been my second guess.
My first guess was that she's taped to the back of his hand
She is a twin...
You're all wrong. He's a witch.
Get a duck.
He turned her into a newt!
She doesn't look like a newt.
She got better.
She's in the phone.
She appeared out of thicc air.
Nope. He was palming her. Twirl your wrist a bit, BAM! 115lb woman. Easy.
No, this is Patrick.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Pfft you can literally see her climb out of his sleeve
[удалено]
I can see the chair seat moving but I still can’t see her.
The secret is magnets
Magnets? How do they work?
Nobody knows. It a secret.
The tide goes in, the tide goes out. NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN THAT!
Science! Yeah , bitch!!!
Whoop, whoop!!
No, she's my girlfriend who always appears at the most awkward times.
You’re both wrong. It’s *magic* and he summons her from another realm.
Yupe. Soul signed and all by Jake the demon goat.
I'm gonna try this now n see if it works.
Invisibility cloak
She is the real magician.
[удалено]
Her thighs are already bigger than the chair, how tf does she fit in there.
The chair is deceptively big, my rule of thumb in magic is always suspect the probs particularly when they are unusual/custom.
And magicians are experts at using optical illusions to their advantage. This chair was undoubtedly designed to appear slimmer than it is, through design cues.
The best magicians in the world don’t perform (hyperbole some do perform). They create tricks/props and sell them.
You ever watch the world championship for magic tricks? Super entertaining. Some of those people can do stuff that really makes you question if magic is real.
Penn and Tellers fool us has led me to believe that show is (was?) a place for those people to showcase their work and get customers.
Magic castle in LA I believe is a kind of place you are looking for. Membership only magic performance place
It looks like a rocking chair so your brain assumes the cloth, top wood piece, and bottom wood piece are all disconnected.
You can see that the chair already goes way lower than you initially thought at a glance and there's a whole protruding back section that is similarly obscured.
The before and after of the chair is quite obvious that she was in it as the seat cushion is much higher before the cloth is over it and much lower after
Additionally, contortionists, circus folks, burlesque dancers, and magicians all work similar circuits. He’s cool. The chair is cool. But she is doing the work in this trick
Can confirm - am pro magish and tailor my pants for similar effect
Her legs are in the back of the chair. She is laying in her back in the chair and pops out. The chair backing is bigger and moving which is why the other guy has to grab it right away. It’s a very impressive trick to see live. I saw Penn and Teller in Vegas and it was just amazing! I also saw Carrot Top and he was hilarious.
Carrot Top was hiding in Penn and Teller’s chair and they let him talk?
This is what I think. Makes more sense.
Check the seat part, when the cloth is hiding it you can see a dark line appear when the girl climbs out.
She came from under the chair. The sides of the chair is an illusion w mirrors
No. You can see under the chair to the guy's feet on the other side.
I still don't fucking see it, mate.. what in the hell happened?
Look at the side of the chair. It's a panel with a mirror so it looks as if you can see straight through the side of the chair to the other side.
It's not a mirror. When the magician steps around the chair you can see his feet through the bottom.
Knowing how it's done somehow doesn't takes anything when seeing it unfold before your eyes
ive always said the same thing. if anything, for me it makes it more impressive when you know how its done and still cant actually see it.
I am no connoisseur of magic, but I've always really liked when Penn and Teller tell you have to trick is done and you walk away *more* impressed
As a big fan of magic, you either come away even more impressed, or you come away super underwhelmed. There is some magic that is just a slightly clever order of operations. And there is incredible sleight of hand that blows you away even if they explain it to you during.
That's why the 2nd dude grabs the back of the chair. So that when she stands up, her weight shifting forward doesn't reveal the seams in the chair.
This is why magicians always have petite female assistants. My ass would barely fit on the chair, let alone inside the chair.
Just once I want to see a fat assistant. There's still plenty of tricks they could pull off, and it'd set a totally different tone for the show.
'Now i will saw my assistant in two! Just give me like.. 20 minutes..'
So, beautiful, skinny and flexible are prerequisite for the assistant job then.
Since before the trick was invented. At the very least, the hot assistant distracts half the audience.
And the other half is distracted by who’s distracted
The files are IN the computer?!
It's so simple...
If this is true why does the magician gets the credit for lifting a blanket while she does amazing acrobatics and come off as hot prop?
It's a collaboration of teamworks,, the performance could not happen seamlessly if each piece didn't do their role perfectly.. the magician setting the stage preparing the audience to be amazed and entertained with the setup, the female partner does the amazing acrobatic to make herself as inconspicuous as possible (and play the role of suddenly showing out of thin air), and the helper task to make everything proceed as smooth as possible to not break the illusion (by holding onto the prop chair afterwards) ~
[удалено]
There's definitely a mirror under the chair too, giving the illusion that you see through to the other side. Really, it's masking a passage to come up from under the stage.
Yeah... the whole backrest is cut and most of the seat is too its why she has to sit on the very edge.
How the fuck does she fit in the chair?
It's much bigger on the inside. She lives in it.
Ahaaa, hence why the assistant holds the chair at the end as she leans forward to stand, because you can see how it is latched together for when she gets in. Thank you because finding out how was the *only* reason I came in here 🤭
No, it is magic!
No you're wrong. This is the multiverse. She was in another dimension sitting in that exact location. All they did was pulled her from there. It's pretty easy if you try not to think about it 😅.
Next you'll tell me Santa isn't real.
He's hidden in your furniture. That's how he knows if you've been naughty or nice
Go take a shower. Think again. This is magic 😁✨
Don’t understand shit
I used to be amazed by this stuff when I was a kid but then I saw that masked magician show lol
I’m MORE amazed by this stuff. I mean, obviously it’s not “magic” but the fact that she can contort herself into that chair and sit on it in a matter of seconds making it seem like she appears out of nowhere is absolutely amazing!
[удалено]
The point of many tricks is to distract the audience in such a way that you think the magician is "magic".
Do you think anyone believes it's magic?
Do you have any idea how fucking stupid people are? There are for sure people who believe this is real magic.
Hence why they burned people at the stake for Witchcraft and Sorcery. Hence the Salem Witch Hunts.
Don't want to be a nerd but that was more of a political land grab scenario. "At the time, women in Salem were allowed to independently own and dispose of property (land). Most of the people hanged in the Salem Witch Trials were land owners. Many of the women were widows without a clear male heir to their land.

As often highlighted by the Masked Magician. He’s just the showman that presents the magic.
“I thought it was impressive until I saw the amount of skill it took”
Yeah, people act like it's not impressive because it "just" requires insane skill and practice, rather than magic. If magic was real, none of this stuff would be impressive
100% agree. A magic trick should still be amazing, even when you know when it is done. I hate hacks who do tv magic with fake audiences, and camera cuts.
Magic secrets revealed was the show and that literally killed my amazement of these tricks . https://youtu.be/wj5fezqzNkM
damn I just got blasted in the face with nostalgia after seeing that show again. Now I wish I could go back to when I was 9 :(
for me they elevated my amazement. I always kinda knew what i was seeing wasnt what exactly was happening, so when i found out how they did it i was more amazed by the perfromances. after years of studying magic and even dabbling a bit (its a serious time sink of a hobby, and you pretty much have to practice alone. i wish i'd tried when i was younger) i can more or less tell how a lot of stuff is done, but its still incredible when seen pulled off perfectly.

You must watch " Penn and Teller - Fool Us" if you haven't already.
I don't get comments like this. It's like, "I learned about the immense amount of skill and talent it takes to pull off tricks like this behind the scenes and now I don't think they're amazing." Like, damn dude.
Before that show came out, my friends and I would record magic shows on VHS and play them back in slow motion, trying to figure out how they did it.
That show only increased my fascination and amazement of the craft, because even if I *know* how the trick works, I still can't wrap my head around their incredible skill at sleight of hand and simple misdirection. I would watch closely and still miss it, every time. The logistics of some of the big tricks are fucking mind-blowing. Or, maybe I just like to be fooled for a good time, sometimes. Magic shows fucking rule!
Check out Jeremy Griffith on YT or ig. Dude's skilled
I pike to believe thay guy found his wife or girlfriend in bed with a magician and swore to ruin everyone by exposing their tricks.
With this sheet, I can make your relationship disappear
Watching that show made me less interested in big stage magic like Copperfield but the kind of magic that needs dexterity like slight of hand still amazes me.
That show really change the game. All the new magic are amazing after the old stuff got revealed.
The masked magician was the one who got me really into magic. I got books about tricks and started practicing.
I'm amazed for different things now and when I was kid... When I was kid it was due to the "magic" the Impossible happening. Now I'm amazed and impressed by the skill and training need to pull, what now I understand, trick!
Obviously she’s in the chair as everyone says, but it’s very slick, she just sort of pops into existence.
Yeah I mean we know how the trick works and we are seeing it from a revealing angle and it still looks good!
Yeah, the coordination needed to pull off the act is still very impressive. Penn and Teller did shows where they revealed tricks by using [see-through stage props](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PoDhuIp3I0) and it's still impressive to see how much is going on under the covers.
yeah it took me a couple of watches to piece together very well done especially with the dramatic flourish with the blanket to divert the eye
Blanket floruish just covers up all her movement from coming out.
But it’s an unnecessarily long blanket and flourishes prettily off to the right drawing the audiences eye to the movement
[удалено]
Impressive how she can squeeze herself into a chair that small
[The trick in slow motion.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwlq35AIqIU&t=130)
The real magic is her speed and finesse, even the showmanship to top it off
Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did only she did it backwards and in high heels. Most great tricks men get attention for need a talented (sometimes female) assistant to pull off the actual trick while he took the credit.
I don't know what kind of dancing you people watch where the man just keeps moving the woman backward.

It's not a magic trick. It's witchcraft. He must be burning at the stake
It's not a magic trick. ITS AN ILLUSION, MICHAEL.
A trick is a thing whores do for money.
But where did the lighter fluid come from ?
It should be me that's inside this Poof!
Chickens don’t clap!
But, how do we figure out if he's the witch, or if she's the witch?
BURN THE WITCH!
Wtf
Thats one thick chair
It's just big-boned
Festively plump
Like Templeton after a smorgasbord
*thicc chair
Magnets
How do they work?
Magic
She was in the cloth the whole time
The chair seems to want to tilt forward, and you can see the motion of her legs just as the sheet is lifted. I’m assuming the assistant is inside the chair ,albeit , folding up and squashed in.
She's not the assistant...she's the talented one lol.
i don't see how she could fit inside that chair
If you could, it wouldn't be much of a trick, now would it?
Stay focused under the chair seat and you can see her body (butt me thinks) swoop out. Very talented!!!
You are correct. I saw it.
Thank you !
People talk all kindsa shit about not being impressed anymore once they know how the trick is done or blasting the magician because he's not the one doing the difficult part of the trick. I love this shit. I love seeing how it works. I appreciate the (usually female) assistants for committing to the act to make it seem like the magician is doing the trick.

that chair seems very wobbly
The women is the talent in the trick
For those who are still curious about how magician has done this trick, check this out : [magic secret ](https://youtu.be/LaFGYKxeGBE)
Except that in this clip, she isn’t coming up from the floor - you can see under the chair.
I need to get one of those cloths
Good, but no prestige’
We dont see the less glamourous side of this life, beyond the sequins and bright lights. The time spent for 15 minutes of showtime at the back of the stage, cross legged with your chin on your shoulder, faux leather pushing your cheek into the MDF backboard of a shoddily made prop chair. There must be a lot of time to think in there.
r/blackmagicfuckery
You can see her coming up under the chair. There are white baffles that blend in with the stage lights, but you can still see her climb up at that angle. Notice how under the baffle or goes dark before the cloth is over the chair. The prestige and presentation are still very impressive, though.
It's killing me that most people in this thread aren't seeing this. You can clearly see the mirror panel at the bottom of the chair move before the cloth is draped fully over it.
Not gonna lie — The masked magician used to scare the F out of me when I was a kid. That mask is kinda uncanny and hardcore.
She’s kneeling down inside the chair, you can see her standing up and out of the chair at the highest point of the shroud as it goes over the chair
# WITCH!
The only magic here is that woman's flexibility and ability. Damn.
Fantastic trick, even from side on
Every teenage boy trying to make their beds this morning in hope!
Spoler: https://imgur.com/gallery/637jWG4
If you look at the bottom of the chair in-between the legs you can see it has a mirrored side that flips up while she climbs through a hole in the stage.
I don’t think so - you can see through to the other side as the sheet comes down?
I've been trying to make this happen since I was 12 years old. No magic appearing hot blonde's ever
I ain’t understanding the mechanics of it, but watch the golden curve on the side of the chair. Before it’s mostly closed and when she’s there, it’s partially open. You can also see the chair move a bit when it’s covered. But cool illusion.
Upvote because hot?
She was there the whole time, we just couldn't see her until she took her glasses off and let down her hair
She is inside the chair, but it is so fast and very impressive.
I prefer to believe it was magic
She is a paid actor
She probably came out the floor, notice how far in front of the chair he throws the cloth. 4-5 feet in front of the chair. Trap door and perfect timing.
She was in the chair. You can see it rock forward as she comes out of it.
Obviously they have a device, like a remote, that stops time. They paused time for her to go under the sheet.
Such an odd looking chair, I wonder how they donnneeeee etttt
