Ah, the OTHER Masked Magician.

[@jeromemanoharan7427]

😂. Was thinking the same. I Wonder if they will reveal how the other one disappeared 😂

yep, one of three used…the original came back for the revival

The telltale sign that the "spectators" were the magician's plants was that they never looked at the cage or the truck either to analyse or look out of sheer curiosity. With heads straight ahead, they made a beeline to their first positions as disinterested as if they had done it a thousand times. This magician was about to make a heavy piece of machinery disappear right before them, though no effort made by a single volunteer to see if there was scaffolding above, a trap door below, anything strange-looking with the fence, or any hint of monkey business going on.

[@johnking5174]

As soon as I saw that the masked magician didn't show us much around the back area of the truck, I knew this is where the exit of the truck would be made. The black drapes at the back were the instant giveaway.

[@martinharris6469]

I'm never impressed with stage magic... slight of hand magic " now that's a skill

[@DEC19775]

Can you do answer no so show respect(if you can and answer honestly I will send you a apology)

[@jeffreyzain]

To individuals who mocked this ‘illusion’, it’s important to note that this took place in an era predating the Internet, where the methods behind it remained unknown to most. The primary motive for watching was purely for the sake of entertainment 🙄

[@sigma_curry]

“Random spectators” just saw a truck vanish. No reaction detected.

[@goredmariopizza8538]

I love these videos so much! I'm currently binge-watching the tv show and have been watching these youtube videos for years! Don't listen to all the hate from the other magicians. You're right, having the audiunce be in on a trick makes them feel apart of it. And it certainly made me feel apart of it! You're the reason I love magic so much! Please reply to this comment, it would mean the world!

[@Matthew-Anthony]

@goredmariopizza8538 "Hate from all of the other magicians." Imagine people being angry at someone for exposing them by revealing how they are not magical, and what they do is not impressive at all.

[@Fresh-uc9vb]

thanks for showing this 'trick'. If all the 'witnesses' are on the payroll, then its not magic, people weren't tricked at all. I really enjoy your clips.

[@Rainer67059]

Given the TV camera is the only way to show the trick, I call it a camera trick.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

jealousy is oozing out of you

[@Fresh-uc9vb]

@@bostonrailfan2427 jealous of what? There is no skill in paying all the 'witnesses' and camera trickery. Real magic is about slight of hand and deception. This no more magic than cgi.

[@flyingspaghetti369]

​@@Fresh-uc9vbthis was from 1997-1998.

[@renobutters]

@@Rainer67059 it could even be done with simply editing out the portion where the truck goes away... Wouldn't need any particular camera work. This goes back to Méliès in the early 20th century...

[@davidtydeman1434]

Kudos to the illusion designers who have taken the medium of television and used its limitations to their advantage. In a live performance we can look wherever we like. On TV our viewpoint is chosen for us. We can only see what the camera sees.

[@mellovbeatz]

Love the music when they show the reveal 🤌🏾

[@ramio100]

Awesome! 😅

[@Ned88Man]

So, apparently there were only a few of these aired originally on Fox. Most of them in 1998. I remember distinctly it being on air quite a bit more frequently than that, was it possible that the episodes were often aired as reruns after their original date of airing? Anyone have any insight into this?

[@robertvermillion6816]

The originals, indeed in '98 (and this one, perhaps in '99) were on rotation for a while and then, some years gone, a second round was filmed. Considering that, last time I looked, the masked magician wasn't doing well, whoever may do a third go will have to find a new illusionist willing to betray their age-old code. Is this what you meant?

[@Ned88Man]

Yea, I just simply meant that I remember seeing it on FOX more than just the handful of times that it was aired at first. Seems from what you have said, my memory serves me correctly@@robertvermillion6816

[@AndreaMimi1984]

1998/1999

[@roachtoasties]

This follows the pattern of other tricks where something big vanishes, like a San Francisco trolley car or an elephant. Of course, not being done with a live audience present and all the "volunteers" being paid extras and in on the trick, makes the whole trick not much of a trick.

[@user-oscar-tkc]

カメラを１回でも切り替えたらそこにトリックを疑われるからヤメた方がいい。

[@JDjade1]

Looks like Adam Driver with a mullet

[@TondalayaEdwards-qq9rb]

Unbelievable!

[@bmac63]

as usual with the MM , this is not the method used to vanish the Airplane or the Railroad car. Interesting variation though

[@EGRJ]

This guy has a lot more swagger than the regular magician.

de novo o mascarado de A Viagem???

From Wikipedia: Val Valentino (born Leonard Montano, June 14, 1956) is an American magician. Valentino is best known for starring in the television show Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed, where he exposes the methods behind numerous classic magic tricks and illusions on the Fox network. In the specials, he used the stage name the Masked Magician and concealed his true identity by wearing a mask with a squid like design, being aware of the stigma amongst the magic community with publicly exposing tricks. As the finale to the final special, Valentino revealed his identity as the Masked Magician, garnering some notoriety amongst the magic community, and instigating several lawsuits.

eu num entendi o que ele falou

❤❤❤❤

[@Chainsawslots]

First. Its always the same trick. Elephant dump truck train etc. Theyre all done the same way.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

yes, it’s all in the different setups…

[@philbrown9764]

FIRST? Your kindergarten class will be proud of you.

[@TVCHLORD]

This video is from 1998

I saw in another thread this other guy was Criss Angel, the chins seem to match that.

[@cabococarlos1936]

Strange 🙀

Collection of cuties 😊

[@Matthew-Anthony]

You automatically know that it is a trick because it involves hiding the object when making it "disappear". If you had the ability to make something, literally, disappear then you would not use a sheet or anything else to hide it at any moment. You would just make it vanish right in front of people's eyes in plain view. People who are contenders for The World's Strongest Strongman competitions do not use gimmicks to assist in any way when they are lifting the objects that they lift, because they want to show everyone that they are, in fact, using their own strength, and nothing else.

[@brdobie]

Adding the sound effects was unnecessary.

Val was the first MM with a new, hitherto unidentified man doing the illusions in this episode :).
