"I'm leaving right now." -the smartest person in the history of horror movies

[@stardust0075]

True 😂 a person like her can end a horror movie in 2 mins.

[@ISEEORBS]

Hhhhaaaahhhhaaahhhaa. . Bloody fukin hell lad!

[@k0lpA]

I hope they told her tho lol

[@tommyb6611]

@@stardust0075 and then the screenwriters to put a blank screen and write like those mute movies from 100 years ago. "Yes, we know the movie was short because the character was smart and avoided the whole situation, like any person with a common sense. Now lets explore how intellectually challenged people would do:" And then proceed to show us the horror stuff

[@tankerock]

no no , we should split up to cover more ground

I like the way Mickael overplays surprise. You can't even question if he has something to do with it as he looks more surprised than you.

[@jc-xo8yd]

Sounds fake to me

[@avproductions5184]

Carbanaro’s strategy I think benefits from him coming off as a weird dude. The person (who isn’t aware they’re at a magic show) is so focused on, “eeek, who’s this guy going through a dead guy’s wallet?” 😂

[@Georgie-eh7do]

Ya that girl is adorable

[@aufstiegundfall]

The funny part about this prank is that, even before the trick, she sounded like she was already freaking out working in a funeral parlor

[@thorin6450]

all i heard was bad acting

[@jjhaya]

Although ironically she does look like someone who would work at one, her style is close to goth and punk 😅. Also as others already said she seems pretty inside and out 😊.

[@JoeGamer81]

Notice how he steps in front of the glass before the picture disappears, and the tailflap of his jacket sort of opens a bit? The secret is that he has a midget down the back of his pants, who reaches out and snatches the picture when Michael turns around. But you ask, "How did the picture get back in the wallet?" Simple: When Michael has the girl distracted, a midget repells down from the ceiling Mission Impossible style, and places a duplicate picture in the wallet.

[@JafarChou]

makes sense

[@eileenadelle4274]

There was two photos of the lady the second one was just hidden and when he walked past the cup he secretly put the photo in his pocket

[@denissealfaro9521]

[@ogxsaintnick]

would had been funny if it was a pic of her

[@im1who84u]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@0MrJohn0]

It is. But she didn't realize

[@inlovewithi]

One, it would be very difficult to get such a picture of her, since they would be in her private collection. Two, the theme of the trick is that there was a picture of an important person to the dead person, and you could say that the dead person's spirit did not want it to be separated. Having a picture of this woman, that would be much closer to a random magic trick.

[@Fermion.]

@@inlovewithi Social media. It's really not hard to get a picture of a stranger these days. Especially if they fill out paperwork with their personal information, thinking it's for a job.

[@silvesken]

There are two of the photo. While the girl is looking at the first photo, he simply puts a copy into the wallet. The photo he places in the glass snaps to the edge of his jacket when he slightly lifts his hips at 1:16 (check the left leg). The 'snap' can be achieved by preparing the edge of the jacket with double adhesive tape or sawing a small magnet to it and prep the photo with a thin layer of metal.
