Crazy TV magic trick done with SINGLE CAMERA shot!! (REVEALED)

[@TorinZonfrelli]

This concept of the trick being in his mind is absolutely genius!

[@angelogandolfo4174]

I LOVE these BTE, “Penn & Teller Style” reveals on a Monday. I’ve started looking forward to them! Amazing!!!

[@LLUEVE]

I dig this. Wes just went next level with this! Well 25% next level!

[@kehmesis]

Haven't seen the explanation yet. It was SO GOOD! That twist really got me! Brilliant!

[@itaialter]

They are ice cold opens. Always awesome.

[@carolinehaf21]

Prewatch: Appreciate you not giving away the method in the thumbnail and just calling it a one shot trick for those of us wanting to work it out first watch, Wes! Postwatch: Definitely didn't expect it to start with the offering of the dying light bulb to the straight- jacketed God above 🤯

[@jasonpavlich8579]

Seems so fitting that YOU'D be the one in the straitjacket, and your hair was perfect for it (I'm sure Alex was jealous😅). You all did an AWESOME job! I love behind the scenes stuff, great video, Wes! 😁🍻👍

[@jeffreyhorncastle]

From a cinematic point of view I like that Eric’s mask moved from his ear to his hand. It would leave the audience wondering wether this was in his head or actually happened

[@carolinehaf21]

Agreed never thought about that!

[@jeffreyhorncastle]

Kinda like the movie Inception where they leave you wondering about the spinning top at the end.

[@loreleimonn3220]

Love these breakdowns bc it really gives you the chance to see everything behind it. The BTS at the end of the episodes is great, but it’s a lot to process all at once

[@livin4dios]

You rock as a magician! I'll need to find a way to watch your show. I'm super impressed that you reply to most of the comments! Thanks for being so connected to your channel and fans!

[@fikanera838]

These are so fab! So many different techniques, & I love to hear the explanations!

[@bossaboo]

Keep em coming Wes, really proud of what you boys have done with the show. Been watching all of you guys channels for years.

[@LinaScott]

I have to admit this was so freaking cool! The how part just highlighted the amount of work it takes, so good! 😁❤

[@patrickmcnelis1520]

Can we have a moment to appreciate the pure talent you lot have!! Dam good! ROCK AND ROLL ALL DAY LONG!!!

[@michaelp1496]

Great concept and really well executed. Just one note....... If it had started by slowly closing in on Wes’s face and eyes, and then pulled back before he stood up, it would have better suggested that the escape was all in his mind. And it could have ended by closing in on Wes’s face again, highlighting his crazed eyes and the eerie effect of the light reflections.

[@captain_red_beard4438]

Totally missed eric not having the mask when it comes back full circle until I watched it the 2nd time, yall never cease to amaze us

[@deejaybeaver3397]

The story telling makes this trick great. Its like one flew over the cuckoos nest and fight club had a baby! Well done with the story telling!

[@TheMmm1969]

Just love those behind the scene, keep going, we learn so much !!

[@antoniocaro8009]

It's so awesome to see the trick then see the breakdown of it, then go back and watch the trick again. It makes the trick more impressive

[@AlexBoyer]

I wanna do more!!!! GAWHH SOO GOODD!!!! 🔥🤘

[@AnonHive]

Team Eric

[@AnonHive]

Don't backout Alex

[@Proghead88]

That was the best one yet, I think..they're all amazing though! Haha

[@zerobudgetvfx1690]

I love videos like that that require actual timing and effort rather than Green screen and computers. Wanted to do a deconstruction of your tricks but you did it before we could! Take my subscription.

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Oh man, I was so impressed until I realized you guys hid the line and shadows of the backer board in post. I looked down there three times before the reveal because there were only two ways out from behind the screen and both required edges to be well hidden. Love the concept of looping back to the beginning. Reminded me of the ending of the movie, Brazil. Love your stuff, guys. Would be so fun to set those up and shoot it.

Lovely That’s the kind of thing that elevates magic to art.

[@truem4329]

Man that was awesome! I'm so going over to Eric's channel!

[@ryutak777]

The hair instantly let me know he was crazy and that little touch immediately caught me in that trick. I also cannot emphasize enough how good this trick is.

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

Watching the trick a second time, after watching the explanation. Ever more impressive when one knows how it was done!

[@cheaterxl243]

The fact that it loops is probably the coolest thing.

[@dondemonico]

Yeah cuz it's everything in his mind! Just awesome 👌

[@missmeow4658]

So awesome! I really hope you guys get a second season. I also REALLY hope something works out where we can see it in Canada.

[@GabeLogan202]

Simple illusions are for me the most amazing.

[@dondemonico]

Yeah absolutely 💯 Sometimes it's really like; The easier the better - for such big tricks 👌✌ (Of course it's not easy at all! Every second counts! You've to do everything PERFECT and every move at every second has to be on point) Great ✌

[@jeropa3d]

Eric is missing the facemask hanging from his ear at the end scene

[@MattG101680]

I noticed that too, which just wearing it would have made it easier to remember and re set

[@jasonpavlich8579]

Close enough is good enough...it's glorious anyway. 😁

[@jasonpavlich8579]

@@MattG101680 Eric can't even spell his name right...😅

[@MattG101680]

@@jasonpavlich8579, Haha, not complaining, these types of videos are all about looking for the details, I love when you can find something like this. makes it more real

[@MikeWallaceDev]

Yeah, I noticed that too. BUT so did Eric! He realized he didn't have enough time to put it back on and just keeps it in his hand.

[@WazzieShmozzie]

you didn't get your "gift of light" at the end of the scene Mr Barker, still very impressive.

[@funtimenetwork]

I love your energy and enthusiasm for the team. So silly so much fun made me smile and want to go find episodes ofd big trick energy!

[@patco258]

Chris Ramsey‘s channel led me to you and you lead me to the big trick energy TV show. Love watching your stuff man.

[@gordonmcknight8877]

I said "oooh" out loud to myself at the end of this trick. Definitely the best one shot trick so far, imo. Now on to rewatching multiple times before seeing the reveal to try and guess a fraction of how it was done.

[@jbzeigler]

These videos are great. I was leaning towards a _"white covering"_ when the three dudes jumped backwards---that alone probably took some practice.

[@duosession]

Of course guys more more. Those are marvelous !!!!!!!!!

[@lear1980]

Love the Mr. Electric reference. In about 1980 I managed to get tickets in the 4th row for a live magic show. The performers that night were Marvyn Roy (Mr. Electric), Johnny Thompson (The Great Tomsoni), and David Copperfield. What a show. I'll never forget Johnny Thompson producing a bowling ball from a handful of black silks.

[@Blondie42]

Were you the immediate choice to be the "crazy guy" in the straight jacket or did you guys have to draw straws or something?

[@gabrielherrera1112]

Definitely a close competition between him and Eric lol

[@bobpurcell5662]

Nicely done Wes. - almost magical!

[@queencarter3048]

Absolutely love how your mind works!!

[@cindybirck3744]

So cool and fascinating! Can't imagine how difficult that was! 🙌

[@garthrapp8143]

I love tjay you guys do this every week, and it's Awsome of TruTv to allow it.... Great job all around

[@billgreen4003]

Way to go chriss Ramsey on brains storming illusions ideas concepts

[@caroleann_2142]

Wes, perfect crazy person 😂 I remember thinking, was he dreaming? Thanks for explaining...Love it 🔥

[@josekaz]

You just have to admire the amount of coordination you guys need to pull this one. Amazing

[@jordankroeger3382]

These are the highlight of my Mondays now, love it!

[@Mralt-gs4jo]

LOVE these tricks and the explanations

[@ramboracing702]

Legend!! 🤜💥🤛

[@KarrierBag]

Love it, I used to be part of a double act in the 90's and we did some crazy illusions using pyrotechnics and half baked magic tricks, you well impressed me here

[@probablyoversharingpodcast815]

I get so excited when I see one of these videos is in my suggested.

[@martinmarchesseault3023]

Not to take away from the amazing work you all are doing. For contanuaty if the end shot suppose to match beginning shot Eric does not have his face mask hanging from his ear. Just picking at details. Keep up all the fun and all your great content I enjoy very much. Side note Also cant wait for the next BOB.

[@celebratelife865]

Excellent job, Wes!

[@AxelDedering]

Wow. I Love it. It is mindblowing. Greetings from a german magician and Filmmaker ❤️❤️❤️

[@bobbicatton]

I love these!! Please keep doing them😊

[@pyratemage]

Pretty suhweeet! I'm going through the cold openings and although they must have been exhausting at times, the elation of nailing it probably more than made up for it. I've some theater experience and I definitely can see how it will help once my magic skills catch up. Thanks, Big Trick Energy!!

[@PeacefulVictorytoTruth]

Mask on Eric's ear, MIA .... lol Just Joking It was a Phenomonal One Take 😉👏👏👏👏

[@queengalandra]

Mad Wes, do you need to say more?❣️💚

[@derfob6636]

I love these behind the scenes

[@raypierce5818]

Beautifully executed. You are correct that in shooting “White Art” against a cove, the line of demarcation between the bottom of the masking and the floor would have shown up on camera so CGI would have been needed to blur those lines.

[@bbains963]

I love these single shot vids & we'll need more 🤩

[@hillsound7181]

The other day I was reading through the comments on trutv and looks like some people exactly don’t know the ingenuity behind this tricks. Keep it flowing 👍 Love to see more of this bts.

[@carolinehaf21]

They don't. They also don't know that the boys would like to do more stuff like this with less jump cuts etc but Tru TV have more of a say how the show is produced/edited so it comes across in more of a prank style than clever illusions like this. Most people don't stay to the end because lack of attention span and it's more fun to bag sh^t online and troll it than give it a chance 🙄

[@JeffBrown-ib6wl]

Love the show you guys are awesome!

[@rikhavok]

That was too awesome!

[@lyghtkruz]

Watching it live, I probably wouldn't have noticed Eric didn't have the mask on his ear when it loops, but because you paused it at the beginning to explain about the masks, I paid attention to it. Still, very well done! You guys are awesome!

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Wow, 🤯 Amazing man 🤟. I so look forward to these videos on a Monday Wes, so thank you and @TruTV for sharing. The idea that this is "all in your mind" is fantastic too 🤟 #2ndtonone

[@jenniferclarke833]

I love this you and the boys are so fabulous

[@AntonyScerri]

These are great visual tricks. Did you leave out the blue light in the end sequence?

[@RabidParana1]

Loved this one

[@JB_inks]

I can confirm, everyone in the UK has to say "please sir, accept this gift of light" in that voice to our lord and master the right reverend sir Boris Johnson.

[@real_canadian_everything]

This was super cool! I'm sure somebody seen this already but Eric didn't have his mask on his ear after lol

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

Super fun. I miss the energy of you having another one of the boys on for this.

[@katzui_keen]

just one word.. INSANE

[@sumanta4807]

[@Sunomis]

Congratulations for a great trick! At first I thought 0:38 was a hidden cut, but in the end it doesn't matter because the trick is achieved earlier than that.

[@sueparras6028]

Love the way you guys work together! Nice to see all of the much deserved success! Did you shoot this in Vancouver? I live just a few miles away in Surrey! If so hope you love our neighborhood! LoL!

[@ariethninja6280]

Awesome!

[@billgreen4003]

Its like your dreaming Wes Barker nice illusions concepts everyone

[@patrickaquilone]

Love this.

[@Keonoone]

Eric has the mask hanging on an ear in the beginning and doesn't have it on at the end. Rewatching it I could see it in his hand with the clip board at the end. I don't know if that was suppose to happen but I think that was a cool touch.

[@ShadowDemon_4]

It was all real! Mwhahahaha!

[@dondemonico]

It was all a dream sooo yeah - everything's possible 😉

[@林麗妃]

I love this music a lot.

[@jasonlastname129]

Wow that was like night and day. When you parted your hair to the other side it looked so much better.

[@TB-jg2oq]

Love these

[@billgreen4003]

I guessed wrong on this illusions but your all ideas concepts is cool also and your whole illusions crew helpers behind the scenes even videos camera crew helpers and lightning crews

[@DonovanWert]

Awesome 😎 thanks brother 🙏

[@jaderene]

That was epic!!!!

[@dougidoug]

That was great.

[@kmktruthserum9328]

I mean, you did an edit on that board under the table but like, aren't there sound edits too? so I don't see that it was such a big deal especially something so small. awesome skit!

[@mohamedloai1210]

this is so cool

[@Ian_Chia]

LOVING THESE TRICKS HAHAHA

[@dougstephen9961]

I’m not able to watch the show due to not having cable tv.(I only get cable during football 🏈 season🤘🏻) so I really do appreciate these videos. This is probably my second favorite after the one shown in reverse.

[@BlcKjcK-wt8hz]

Is there any place we can watch the full episodes if we don't have a TV, just a computer ? :)

[@DamianReloaded]

Very cool!

[@DerMuuta]

It is such a cool trick! Thanks for that one! I only noticed that Eric no longer wore the mask on one ear at the end, as he did at the beginning. (that i only saw at the second time i watched the trick.

[@FollowMagicBrad]

Yes, I’m in Minneapolis

[@gutzi_muc8396]

Great job! Much respect to Alex, Chris and Eric! I don't think my body would be able to jump backwards and also duck at the same time! Guess my nose would have hit the floor soooo hard. Wes please don't keep the (h)air ;-)

[@dondemonico]

Great video and awesome show!👌 Don't mind the haters 😉 I just love it soo much - it's a bit like Jokers (thats a compliment) - but with absolutely GREAT and MINDBLOWING MAGIC! (Street and Screen magic) 🔥 You guys are just great and have such a good chemistry, cuz you're REAL friends and besties 💜 Ya blow each others minds and that's why even you guys react like this sometimes! It's so great and entertaining to watch, thank you so much 😁✌

[@crybb3739]

amazing :) love it

[@anuragyadavmagic]

love your guys work maybe sometime i would like to show you guys because i have got an original trick for you guys!!!

[@darnellsmith3277]

Thanks Wes! Loved it, but no flickering light at the end. Could he not get into place with the camera coming up?

[@WesBarker]

True. He could not. It was too tight
