FAQ
HOW DID YOU SHOOT THE VIDEO? The video was shot in one shot using GoPro 3 with a wide angle lens. The speed has been changed, speeding up and slowing in down in various place. An effect has been added to mess with the image stabilisation and create the weird, stop motion effect. There are no other edits or CGI.
HOW COME SOME THINGS SEEM IMPOSSIBLE? Magic.
WHERE IS THE VIDEO SHOT? My home in Melbourne, Australia.
WHAT KIND OF MAGIC DO YOU DO? I perform scam magic, focusing on card cheating and swindling. www.conman.com.au

Some I don't believe have been mentioned yet: Space Invaders, Cluedo, Atari 2600 (well, the joystick at least), frisbee Great video, well done.

[@StardockMagic]

Incredibly well done, congrats to all involved. Extra credit for the amazing planning and logistics.

[@tomc3243]

It was really fun working on this project and it looks fantastic!

[@eurodraco]

Impressive! This guy is really good at walking backwards! It looks so natural!

[@leeasher]

Fantastic! So much fun... Break a leg!

[@deyan.chilov]

Absolutely crazy !!!! This is GENIOUS and very HARD !!!!!!! RESPECT !

[@tulpa1234]

It is from 'Portal' and is a teaser all the way through the game. Marvellous!

[@TrickyNick79]

Thanks Lee - not sure if you remember but we hung out backstage for a couple of hours at Superday in Sydney some years ago when you first released Three Stylin'.

[@lazermaster5]

The video was recorded backwards... And yet it looks so natural. Great job!

[@TrickyNick79]

Yeah, we had some problems with the final rendering of the CGI cards. We didn't have the processing power to be able to handle all 52 of them. In hindsight, we should have just used motion capture for more realistic key framing.

[@LeonBarton]

My crack at naming all the games: Rubiks cube, [Rumikub box], Pin the tail on the Donkey, 52 pickup ;) Metal slug? [guess who box], Pintata, Where's Wally, Jenga, Boggle, Noughts & Crosses, Chess, Scrabble, Mousetrap, Water fight, Hopscotch, Twister, LARPing (I want one of those giant D20s), Soccer & Aussie Rules passing, and I have no idea what was going on with the sticks. What have I missed?

[@Godmil]

Man alive! that must have taken some time to plan.

[@leeasher]

That was you? Nice! I certainly remember hanging out backstage at the SuperSunday in Sydney. Again, great vid. Break a leg!

[@TrickyNick79]

The song is called Tetris By Flap. Great Melbourne band.

[@TimeTravelinc]

honestconman I knew that the tune sounded familiar. Nice choice in music, shows the fun games that are played with this magical video.

[@Maarrii94]

The guy around 2.07 was wearing a Tardis t-shirt! Nice!

[@robtron2]

Nick - this video is amazing! Bravo.

[@MCDexX]

They opened for Cat Empire at the Prince of Wales a month or two back. They are SO damned good.

[@MCDexX]

I was watching this video and thinking, "Hmmm... I know him, I know him, I know her... Ben McKenzie is going to show up any moment... oh, there he is!"

[@ansemseekerofdarknes]

They're so good!

[@jestrada123]

Brilliant execution. Bravo!

[@tymntube]

Fantastic video. Can you tell me about the music? Thanks.

[@TimeTravelinc]

You set this entire video backwards, except for certain scenes. You used some kinda of special effects program to fuse certain scenes together. Ex: eating a cookie, then making a chess piece fly up.

[@TrickyNick79]

You're fired Sheldon

[@Miloohi]

I can name.... Almost all of them. Mouse trap is my favorite.

[@johnr7717]

Look at the playing cards exactly at the 54 second mark.. They glitch out..

[@TrickyNick79]

This is the best comment we've had.

[@katiechastain2129]

forwards: he comes in and walks by the guys playing swords, and goes into the house and gets soaked with water and watches a man play that game with the ball, then clears off a made up game of scrabble,then drinks milk and eats oreos then walks past the man playing tic tac toe and the boggle and then he destroys the Jenga, then he walks backwards through the hallway into the room where he throws the cards everywhere and then goes to the little boy and scrambles the rubix cube and walks outside.

[@hg3990]

took me until seeing the playing cards to realize the video was backwards

[@captainwomble]

The game on the TV is called Braid (2008)

[@studidoo]

Brilliant video buddy! I know I'm a long way away but just had to share on my facebook page :)

[@stephenfinney3101]

Ticket to Ride and Quirkle boxes in the front room. The video game is Braid, not Metal Slug (though I could see how you could make that mistake.)

[@TiahGordon]

what song is this?! love the video!!

[@mags1740]

I was the one in the superman top in the bathroom :D

[@cellphonegaming]

It's from the game Portal by Valve

[@StKildaFan]

Sorry, that was me. Dealing backwards is harder than it looks.

[@PhilSamoylov]

Braid gets instant like from me

[@ellpotato]

Awesome!

[@StKildaFan]

This all seemed so normal at the time...

[@anzya]

The game on the tv was Braid.

[@TrickyNick79]

The sticks game is called Kubb or viking chess.

[@hawkshot2001]
