BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT 2014 SEMI FINALS - DARCY OAKE

[@andhita111]

it's not a hard to believe trick, but it is extremely hard to do. Perfectly done!

[@SgtSplatter782]

That's what get's me everyone 'knows' how he did it, but it's his timing and stage presence that really sells the trick. He's not over the top or overly flashy. He's fast and precise and that's what makes it enjoyable.

[@chiefcookpotwasher]

It is very sad this great Canadian talent had to go to Britain got talent to show case himself. I have never heard of him here in Canada until he audition .Keep up the good work and I hope one day you have a show in Ontario.

[@SweetShimotekutafuto]

There was previously Canada's Got Talent. Only lasted 1 season. Due to production costs, they couldn't make a new season. On that version, actor Martin Short is familiar (as one of the judges) but not the other 2 judges. Didn't like the host of it.

[@funenchanted2]

Good luck darcy canada is cheering for you!

[@mathewsfamilymadness]

Thanks for uploading! I'm not in the UK, and this is the only way I can see this :)

[@pker0cfit]

mopvideo.com you can watch the show on it

[@MrIcelander]

Same here, so glad you uploaded this very decent version of that act. Even the _Official_ BGT youtube channel wouldn't let me watch their own promotional clip from their own show!

[@m.kusaialsoufi2518]

+Ghanaperu Idiot Performance < he came back to the stairs at 2:12 and the stairs pulled inside>>>>>>> calm down darcy

[@patriziadiana1654]

M.Kusai Alsoufi what do you mean calm down darcy? Lmao that's ridiculous we all kmow it ain't real he probably wouldn't care if you explained it to his face. Because he says it's an "illusion" and its entertaining. Get it!? Don't think you're so smart telling someone who won't read your comment to calm down lol

[@lyndabrown4952]

Amazing, cant wait to see more

[@theunimpressedbeetch]

Why the hell people have to post comments that they know the trick, it's easy to do, he cheated blah blah blah.... Why can't you just enjoy the fucking show!!!!! Geez! Sometimes intelligence is not quite entertaining!

[@johnathonginter9042]

Soochz Kookoo doesn't it take intelligence to make the act entertaining?

[@theunimpressedbeetch]

Doesn't it take intelligence to comprehend what my point is all about? It's the people's "claimed intelligence that they know the trick" is what my point. The people saying they know (because they are fucking intelligent as they claim) the trick that makes me sick!

[@MotoAtheist]

5100yes No, it's not good. You must enjoy Justin Bieber music, or maybe some Susan Boyle? Since you like mediocre garbage at best.

[@MotoAtheist]

5100yes And out comes using their god as a punch line! LMFAO!! Just makes you one step closer to an atheist. Otherwise, if you really believed in that fictional idiot you wouldn't dare to use your god that way.

[@MotoAtheist]

5100yes Ahhh.. a fictional psychotic character loves me, how precious!! Spaghetti monster loves you!!!

[@nightowl7777]

Thanks again theytrebel for the timely & quality uploads again this season -- we count on you!! Being in Canada, I was particularly interested to see Darcy's performance -- he did not disappoint. :)

[@Xraf95]

If you watch 10000 times it will suck, hope he win

[@radjganga2449]

he is just soo awesome

[@maximus6759]

he's stage presents is very good and don't forget he's specialize of slight of hands and illusion and you has to be very quick. that's what sells the tricks.

[@georgereynolds4666]

he must of got out at the start when it was dark behind , but at the end before they remove the sheet you can still see the shape of his head underneath the sheet very well done. very smooth illusion

[@quangtrungle277]

so wonderful !!!

[@Showtyro]

Amazing how many people fall for this and then they "think" they saw him. You never see him leaving the stage because he is sliding inside the stairs that are being removed by those 2 guys.

[@SKYPRODUCTIONSMEDIA]

Very well executed this guys has a lot of talent. As some said here not too hard to spot some of the methods use but of course we have the chance to watch it thousand of times. A camera live feed? uhmmm i think it was already pre-recorded but again kudos to the guy, he deserves to be in the finals.

[@NeverEndingStar]

Saw the camera guy go back and I was like lol . still well done. : )

[@TonyVisciardi]

Just found out this dude is Scott Oake's kid. Scott Oake from HNIC.

[@ChillWire90]

Same here, saw it on the habs rangers broadcast

[@manamiemyr]

who's Scott Oake?

[@manamiemyr]

nevermind. i googled it. .....duh

[@TonyVisciardi]

I didn't want to have to write all the background of HNIC. I was hoping anyone that cared would google it. I am kinda sad knowing one of Scott Oake's kid died of a drug overdose though. I grew up watching him on hockey games.

[@michaelpelletier]

First Time I saw Darcy Oake was on a quick clip he did with a Taylor Hall jersey 3 years ago on HNIC :)

[@neddhu]

2:09 - 2:11 he goes down from the chair and into the shadows.. then at 2:33 and 2:35 he comes from behind the scenes and switches places with the camera guy... Good magic trick by the way, awesome use of light and shadow...

[@jambodave72]

Cant believe the negativity on this, just accept that it was a bloody good illusion. Had to watch it a few times to work out how he did it. All you non believers just go away please.

[@redpill6496]

I love it!! so interesting!

[@YoshiWonKenobie]

it's worth pointing out that all the who disliked this illusion would have loved it if they went to the act.

[@xmst5]

2:02 the camera man holds the handle of the camera with his left hand, if you watch this in a higher quality video, you will see his left hand at 2:39 holding the eye piece. Also the camera becomes less stable as Darcy probably does not have as much experience as a camera man. He probably changed placed with the camera man at 2:31, which is where the background is dark and hard to see. 2:31 is also when the camera wombles a lot. The camera man slows down when in front of the dark background, It takes him about 5 seconds (from 2:20 to 2:25) to move roughly 2 metres (roughly the length of the dark background) but when in front of the dark background, it takes him 8 seconds (2:25 to 2:33) to appear from the dark background. Yes, i'm fun at parties : ]

[@Ahmad-bx6vg]

The trick start from 2:12 when he slide himself and hide within the stair...he stay within the stair, then his assistants will move the stair away ,,,,and there he get ready and change his clothes.................I saw program about that explaining similar tricks :)

[@TheMr3booooood]

they're telling him to take his shirt off , and everybody seem fine without ..tell me that's not objectifying , double standards

[@codymac4958]

don't you just love double standards? Also I was thinking the same thing lol

[@tyran5996]

It would be an uproar if the performer was female

[@TheStarzed]

Fuq the world

[@jambodave72]

Had it been a female and everyone was saying get your tits out, then watch the reactions.

[@chathurayaddehi34]

all birds in his jacket .........

[@caitlynnguyen1629]

Lana del rey song ("Off to the Races") in the background !!!

[@Bl1tzkr13g]

Thank you so much :)

[@TheBanjorocker1]

gotta love em canadien boys XP

[@ioioiohjiohoi]

It makes me a little uncomfortable that after that amazing illusion all the judges and audience could think about was Darcy taking his shirt off. You could see that he was lowkey uncomfortable

[@bnbproedition4358]

Judges got flattered , Darcy

[@WikiDota]

When you see magic, you look at the content and not the "main frame" of the view. In this case, I just saw the screen on the stage watching the camera shot went further and further, I already knew how it would end before he expose the trick (or finalize the act).

[@ToraNova]

2:36 the camera man was him then he switched with the gray shirt guy.

[@HitarPetar359]

This illusion is very effective and simple. He climbs a flight of stairs. Once covered, assistants shaken veil until he got out of the chair and go back below it. He then hid in the stairwell, which was moved back quickly. Only then mobile camera go round chair. When the operator reaches the middle of the screen with lights, it disappears and appears Darcy Oake deliberately dressed in black clothes and not for example in orange.

[@fawazalrdas2999]

Amazing act well done Darcy

[@thekill3r2012]

Boot inspected before disappearance has changed !!!

[@Neo-ys9xm]

He's so fine. I could care less what trick he's doing.

[@NFtheend]

LAME trick reminds me of the Statue of Liberty disappearance CAMERA trick.

[@nikolajq6104]

Why don't you show off some of your tricks? You're just an envious fat guy who stays in front of his computer all day and spreading shit. Poor you..

[@umairzubair9840]

2:06 Those two men just walk behind the table and took him away from the chair to the background of the stage. Just take a close look because its dark and black not everyone can see it. And at 2:29 The cameraman went to the backstage and magician shows up as a cameraman. Just take a close look. By the way its really hard to do and brilliantly done. " ILLUSION"

[@elgranhermano8872]

But who was in that sheet?

[@ananthsm2007]

does anyone know what music was played from 1:46 onwards, please?

[@TaikoCZ]

I am also very curious. But it looks like nobody knows all over the Internet :-(

[@branisimoSVK]

EASY: 1:41 stairs - can not see trough, why? because its hidding place 2:00 he goes under chair 2:48 chair - you can see V construction chair - that does illusion of person under sheet

[@ColeMartin13]

Haha that's a pretty simple and easy illusion to accomplish just needed the right lighting and quickness/angles.

[@dmnfilms6040]

At 2:29 u can see the camera guy walked in the center of the stage and fade in and another guy which is him walked out. U can tell by 2 shadows covered the light in the center

[@joaquim41995]

did anyone noticed that he has changed his shoes?

[@tinatodea443]

this is wow,he is wow,he look's wow...just WOW! :D

[@raphaelchristianbuan1612]

2 guys at the back.. ladder.. go to the right... then cameraman goes to the right back side of the stage then switch then boom!!

[@peangruthaih.8606]

Damn hot!!

[@tigersharma1443]

Hottest magician ever seen

[@arshizzle9507]

I don't know how he got away from the chair but I know how he came out as the maintenance guy. The maintenance guy is walking around the whole chair thing untill he gets to the curtain in the back of the stage. Then he goes out without us noticing and then Darcy Oake switches with him from backstage. The reason you don't see this is because you are focusing at the chair at the time because at the exact same time as the switch, you see the cloth over the chair moving around so you get distracted by that

[@rheadias3703]

wow

[@brewse64]

awesome "illusion" great entertainment!! awesome job darcy.......hope it wasnt magic :D

[@BruceBanner]

The masked magician revealed the secret already.

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

+Bruce Banner OMG I LOVED THE MASKED MAGICIAN!!!!!!! But yeah I guess that guy screwed the game for quiet a lot magicians >.

[@hevpops]

watch carefully he comes out with the came on the right and gives it to the man in grey but brilliant hard to notice

[@Petr_u_rs]

2:29 play whit 0,25 speed and you see when come down.That is why there where he descends is black background

[@animalcrackin]

petru ursulean Oh wow man. You totally exposed him.. Pfffft! He leaves the chair as soon as they put the cover over him (which is why they are shaking it for about 5 seconds before setting it down). At that same time, he exits down the stair case before it gets wheeled away and the platform gets moved forward by his assistants (this is why the stair case has a black sheet going to down the full length of it under the steps).... But yah bro, you totally caught him on that one.

[@alishabab3]

You see the switch if you look close.

[@jocelynlopez8832]

Am I the only one who saw the SWITCH of people that, that made him the "crew" member? the main part of the illusion is the chair and the pitch black background of the chair. The "real crew" member was told what to do. Whenever not to shot the back part of the chair when he's doing his escape.

[@Gotz2bril]

Does anyone know how the sheet/curtain is still moving even though after no one sitting on the chair including Darcy?

[@Cosmic.Perspective]

'No idea how you did that' hahaha yea right

[@cyberjunky1000]

If you look closely u can actually see him switching places at the camera guy at about the 2:33 mark

[@dkb1900]

EL camera cuando se va por detras de la silla se mete detras de la pantalla que hai detras, y sale el mago.

[@darwishrazali2310]

it's simple. the camera man had black shoes, the other stunt double had white shoes. The camera man had a pimple on his face and the stunt double didn't

[@TheRedandWhitehandItsbruttiyu]

This hurts my brain :P

[@zubinsarkari5994]

Guys whats the background song name

[@saudx]

Anyone can tell me the name of the music used in this show ?

[@thisizmonster]

Actually I think it's most simle/noticeably one from all his illusions. He just moved to stair before they cover him. Then when platform move forward, stair moved back with him. Then so stood right side of that black wall, behind blue curtain. And meantime camera man walk to that side, he simply switched with him.

[@madridista359]

Can someone plz tell me the soundtrack in thr background. Whats it called.

[@chathurayaddehi34]

hey guys this the cracy magic first see on the stage darcy ...... before the magic he is wearing a white shoes........ after the trick has done he is wearing black shoes. take close look and see.

[@hihello896]

He went out from behind. While the camera man going behind he secretly switched places with him that is why the camera went shaky

[@zachchiacchierini5119]

The chair had a mechanical part to it as well, to make it seem like he was still there. I figured this one out quickly, but took a longer time analyzing his technique to see what he actually did. Very well performed.

[@boodyelbakshawangy6423]

i need name of sound track of this video please

[@juank0072011]

la escalera tiene rodillos fijesen bien a lo que sube miren donde pisa y se daran cuenta de que esa es la manera cual sale de la silla.. se escabuye por debajo de la silla y rueda encima de la escalera hacia el fondo....

[@ferdissaleo-an9602]

take a close look at the camera man.. goin at the back..

[@oanasuiuoana590]

Ma face sa rad!

[@johnchaelebmarcelo5336]

at 2:08 you can see the 2 other assistants pull the stair to the back stage and Darcy is hiding at the stair.

[@shawshankredemption46]

Did he win??

[@nikolajq6104]

Im torn between wishing i had his looks or his skills :D

[@iRwbL]

As the flare brightens the audience is distracted which allows him to take the first bird out of his sleeve (if you closely doesn't look normal). If you then watch his second hand you obviously see it move quickly towards his inner jacket to pull out another bird. This is just my observation I'm not sure if it's right but it's a really probable.

[@rsfreshie8936]

RwbL what are you even talking about

[@rateme6166]

Rs Freshie his theory seems incomrehensible for your little brain to understand

[@mehnitsunemi]

Fratilor,cum face faza aia cu porumbeii?Niciodata n-am inteles.

[@wolfgang4376]

ez he was given the jacket while the cloth was being put down and he was the one who pulled the cloth

[@gracie1ita]

Too sexy for his shirt!!!!

[@vivienthumbvonneuburg8181]

[@alvianmegananda752]

[@Nickz5050]

Anyone know the song name?

[@thealvarg]

At 2:33 he gets off the chair you can see his legs and the cloth on the chair moves long enough to put the sweater on and get off and get the camera

[@raprisent]

song pls !!

[@Lintun7]

The background is dark in the middle LOL

[@aleminadotcom]

He has a twin brother!

[@cZdodo28]

Romani prosti. Era inevitabil sa nu se trezeasca cativa, romani, bineinteles, ca numa noi putem avea gandirea unui vierme, sa comenteze ca "nu-i mare scofala". Treaba nu consta in faptu ca o facut schimb de locuri cu cameramanul din spate, intrebarea era "cum o ajuns acolo?". O fost un numar de iluzionism si l-o facut perfect, da era imposibil sa nu se trezeasca 1, 2, mai multi romani sa comenteze ca prostii. Si-o facut treaba, o facut spectacol, i-o iesit numaru perfect. Asta-i tot ce conteaza. Bravo lui, ii chiar tare tipu.

[@stroieray5441]

bne ma ca merge ala cu camera in spatele scaunului sta acolo cateva secunde...timp in care ai da lui Darcy castile camera si haina and...gooooo scoooby si gata yote ca s-a teleportat :))))) daca te uiti atent cand se aseaza pe scaun in spatele lui ( iluzionistului ) partea lui dreapta e cineva...cand el este acoperti de echipaj cu cearsaful ala:)...acel " cineva " merge in spatele scaunului pt a-l ajuta apoi merge cel cu camera acolo pt a face " schimbul " deci..faina smecherie:)

[@thekill3r2012]

Boot change its color from white to black !!!

[@daviddeeley8820]

omg he's hot

[@fnatickk2012]

la 2:25 se intampla totu' in spate :) se schimba intre ei. mare scofala.

[@jordanhatesyou1512]

How tf does he do that

[@fnatickk2012]

daca fundalu' era alb.. credeam si eu

[@hakinnen]

Es idea mía o cuando termina la ilusión se golpea al salir de la silla, fíjense debajo del ojo izquierdo, ese golpe no lo tenía cuando comienzo el show.

[@alinaganea6654]

el se misca ca sa se schimbe se vede daca esti atent cand a coborat prin spate,trebuie sa fi atent ca sa iti dai seama

[@serenablack1991]

His audition was way better, this was disappointing compared to that.

[@DangG3r]

wha ta jok e

[@heraissilly]

canada = too op

[@duylongpham4862]

anyone see his shoes turn from white to black ???

[@dixienormus9998]

I guarantee that he bedded both Amanda and Alesha after his auditions.

[@jonesjonass4726]

for people who ask us to enjoy the show and stop asking questions, well while enjoying the show we try to figure out how he did it, and yeah his show was cheap and bad because a good illusionist show you never be able to figure out the trick even if u watch it milion times

[@theultimatemover]

First of all I think he was not perfect in birds act to be precise he was unable to catch the first bird at 1:11 and then at 1:13 he tried to hold two birds but you can see there are two birds already but anyways see at 1:44 the black shadow on right side and then the main camera is capturing from left side at 1:54, then you can see at 2:07 the shadow going towards left with lights under the table in center are turned off at 2:08 and the camera that was on left for the time being, starts to move towards right for a moment and that scenario created perfect opportunity to go out of scene and then again you see camera starting to move towards left at around 2:24 and you can see a shadow coming out at 2:33 on right side and was Darcy Oake with crew jacket, camera, and headphones on. Again the view of main camera is on left side and not in center at that moment. After that camera starts moving towards right at 2:34 and by that time things are already happened. The timings were perfect and created the illusion. Unfortunately, our region of interest was the chair and what was happening there was just controlled by a simple robot behind the stage.

[@leoric2308]

most view !!!
