Magic Explains TV Magic Trick WITHOUT Camera Cuts!!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

Love these deep dives on the cold opens!

[@OH10MADE]

TRU TV needs to promote BTE, periodt!!! These guys are AMAZING magicians, that happen to be buds and they deserve more respect & credit for what they’ve created… Amazingly done, fellas!!! 🤙🏼

[@WesBarker]

Thanks!

[@jamied931]

Its a horrible show. I like these guys but this show is just not good

[@macgyver110]

Should've had signs on the door that you changed out between moves to fill that time instead of just waiting. Like a restroom sign, an open sign and a recording sign

[@LeclericShow]

great idea!

[@fernandocovarrubiascomander]

At least a card trick.

[@macgyver110]

@@LeclericShow Hey a reply from the man himself! Love your work

[@MitchellTF]

@@LeclericShow Always nice when the Big Boss realizes "Shoot that idea was good".

[@raypierce5818]

Great idea, that would have been a great way to cover the time kill effectively.

[@garvin5191]

I really enjoy hearing the story behind the scene. Loving these episodes showing the breakdown

[@RamzMagic_2210]

Chris is taking over Wes's channel both the intro and outro Chris did it.

[@dougidoug]

These openings are so great and really fun. It’s just sucks that your show is not available in the uk.

[@jyack275]

Do you have access to the "sling tv" program?

[@dougidoug]

No I don’t. What is that?

[@TB-jg2oq]

That was awesome. When you walked out to the grass you could t tell there was a drop or anything. Great job to all. I love these.

[@carolinehaf21]

Thank you boys! Didn't guess this one either, well done to Leclerc for saving the take! Can't wait for the next couple... I think we might still be missing week 2 before they let you start showing them?

[@Cardistian]

🤘😃👍 *ANOTHER AWESOME COLD OPEN!* I think the Easter bunny should have been in the final shot at the BBQ somewhere like tossing the frisbee w/Alex or somebody🐰🥏😄 Appreciate the behind the scenes reveals like this. I'm pretty sure this is the only time in my life I've been looking forward to Mondays✌️😜 #BigTrickEnergy 1st.Shop

[@instantlybroken]

I was about to say before you said it this was a beautiful Buster Keaton level reveal

[@Green_Gold]

The fact TruTV let's you reveal these every Monday is awesome. They totally could be stingy and say no but these behind the scenes deep dives are like extra Easter eggs for the fans. Love it

[@enyse]

at the end of every show the cold opening is reveal. watch till the end dude

[@osmia]

Agree

[@ryutak777]

Some of these cold opens are so good they're on fire!

[@DerektheMotorider]

As soon as I saw this trick, I had assumed this is how it was done (cause I'm not sure how else it could be done) but it was still really satisfying to hear about the behind the scenes.

[@raypierce5818]

Well done as always!! Due to the shot through the door, the hard side walls weren’t necessary, they could have been soft goods just to control the light. My biggest problem is in not justifying the time kill. In fact, looking at the watch HIGHLIGHTED it! As any illusionist knows, there is always a time kill in most illusions when the assistant must get from one location to another before the reveal. In telling a good story, you need to do something to take the heat off this time kill with business that helps tell the story to misdirect from the stall. This just looked like he was killing time while waiting on something we didn’t know about to happen. Magic theory always helps tell a better story.

[@maartenarnou]

These cold opens are absolutely awesome. And the reveals usually even more stunning! 👍 🤘

[@staubach1979rt]

Ten minutes into this video and I suddenly realized that you fooled Penn & Teller! Great job!

[@DamianReloaded]

Nice! You could do one with that room that's warped in perspective to make it look you're smaller when you're on one side. Everyone knows that one, but maybe there is a novel way to use it for a magic trick? Like put people in boxes and replace the box with smaller boxes and the person inside becomes smaller XD

i luv these breakdowns more than the tricks even

[@bluemanta5538]

Love these cold reveals. Can't wait to get the whole show on TV in the UK. Any news on when this might happen?

[@thesayheykid08]

Love everything about this and the show! Keep it up Wes!

[@garthrapp8143]

I absolutely love that you guys show all the behind the scenes of this stuff, what a grwat add for the fans of the show... Well done!!

[@grahamhp]

Very good and fun to make i guess, keep them coming.

[@AnonHive]

Brilliant one Guys and Thanks to Eric for saving the Trick. Team Eric

[@rowdeeni5714]

Ohhh yeah I love these videos they are just so creative! Love your content.

[@X320riginal]

Wes I need to tell you something... Sundays I always take my car for a ride, push the volume to max loudness and drive through Detroit and the music goes like: *_Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)_* *_Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)_* One time a really tough guy looked at me, I had my elbow outside the window made this one 🤙🏾 and was like *"I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world, Life's like plastic, It's fantastic, Come on, Barbie let's go Party ooh oh ohhh yeah!"* That was really cool. 💪🏾

[@christophersantiago9270]

That's so awesome!! The last part really had me stuck! Great job guys

[@fikanera838]

Definitely want to see the next one! Love these!

[@golfalpha284]

The pitched idea sounds way better and makes more sense than the final

[@angelogandolfo4174]

Love it, love it, love it guys! You guys are genius! I LOVE MONDAYS FOR THIS REASON!!!

[@evans7001]

Yo, thanks so much for the awesome content. It’s so cool to see other magicians in popular media.

[@Estefunny5]

When I watched the first intro I noticed some movement while the door was closed, so I figured the room where Chris was in was rotating and the rooms were just in the different directions. Pretty similar idea to how it actually turned out to be.

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

The method 🤯. Brilliant lads 🤟.

[@marks4178]

Next one you say? Can’t wait!

[@simbachand]

This was super fun!

[@sabomagician562]

You are amazing guys! its so nice to watch You :D

[@ColinFox]

Was this done in Stanley Park? As a Vancouverite, I'm always happy to see my city in things. This really looks like it was done on the north side of stanley park, since we can see the north van mountains in the background at 4:22.

[@WesBarker]

Yes! It’s at Brockton Oval in Stanley Park.

[@Bwijaya2301]

Nice idea

[@IzKidJ]

i think i remember zach using the same concept with a tent and he basically went from indoors to the outdoors but if imma be honest, i think you guys did this better than the man himself 😂

[@TurtleBeoulve]

Really think this would have worked better with a reason for Chris to be opening the door multiple times. A cat/mouse situation would have sold this much better. Should have had one of the guys steal Chris's hat or something and escape through the door only to have the scene switch with the door opens. That would have given Chris a reason to close the door multiple times in exasperation.

[@MacDaddyWhite]

Lmao just realized you have the 2nd neon light instead of the 1st… are we gonna get a merch line? 😂 love we have some magicians like you guys making magic cool again!! Keep it up!

[@joonasnieminenfi]

At first I thought Chris was on a rotating platform since the painting was wobbling on the wall during room change 😅 this way you don't need to move as many rooms. Only one room would be rotating holding Chris and camera.

[@NCHARACTER]

Lazy Susan Room? I was thinking circular, but this way still works!!! 👍🏼

[@brainbowfright]

I really hope BIG TRICK ENERGY is picked up by Netflix/Hulu or something so I can binge!

[@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou]

If it isn't there already, I would predict HBO. AT&T has finally made this their catchall for much of their network television programming. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJeriX2mi9h7gJY Netflix or Hulu would be unlikely.

[@dragonmaid1360]

Eric is such a freaking laugh of a dude

[@truem4329]

Eric L is so amazing!

[@squirrl78]

Great fun gents!

[@jonasmc7847]

Nothing but amazing

[@technowey]

I stopped it at 1 minute. It's movable/sliding sets. They are like train cars, and each is pulled into position. It could also be a rotating room with an attached camera.

[@rays5163]

Really cool trick. I think it't one of my favorites of the opening tricks so far. I'm a little iffy on the "checking the watch" move though

[@wampiroindoril]

Dude, I saw all the episodes the final comes , I think... I feel a bit sad about it, only 10 episodes? We need more! And of course I have been here around Chris when he was at 700.000 subs, somewhere there. Maybe 500.000? I don't even remember! And even when you did gags and tricks on the beach, you owe me an X-ray prank part 2 on a beach! When you did the first BOB and made Kristen's channel. We are around , we saw everything on your channels :D Edit: Remember Chris, you owe us a Omegle magic video! You asked for 43k likes, you got 50k in a week, and now you are above!

[@NelielSugiura]

This reminds me of the doorways in Doctor Strange. That would have been a cool throwback... but so risky on the copyright spectrum.

[@rbnhd]

Chris with the SSG tee - are you a gamer?

[@laurencemichaelbennett2506]

I say we need more of the "Great Ramzinni" not less lmao

[@twiztidsteve6]

this one was so easy to figure out

[@TrvvonxLeonn]

Why hasn’t anyone suggested the movie “ Sleight” it’s literally about a magician and he does a lot of sleight of hand I’d love to see it being broken down and explained

[@americanpancakelive]

This felt lackluster but only because the others are so fucking incredible!

[@LazyLoneLion]

At first I thought it was Chris's room that was moved. Because the plant wasn't really stationary -- because of the wind, but I didn't know that.

[@dannyjcohen]

Did you think about just having chris and chris's room be on wheels and moving insread of moving the truck with all 3?

[@Tahgtahv]

Easier to hold the camera steady if it's not moving.

[@Summerwolff]

I gotta ask for reals, the tshirts, where did you guys get them?

[@citystars1117]

Paused video at 1.42, I'm gonna go and guess that it was an outdoor set with a spinning room so that way each door open was just part of the set until the final door open with it being spun the full way.....leading to outside.

[@citystars1117]

Holy shit I was right lol. Wow

[@ramboracing702]

Legend!! 🤙✌️

[@monkeySkulls]

Doesn't Chris looking at his watch constantly, while buying time, sorta tip the method?

[@johnmullen1889]

I thought so. It smacked of timing. Waiting for something to change behind the door.

[@k0lpA]

@@johnmullen1889 I mean, unless it was a green screen, it had to be something like this right ? Since a green screen wouldnt be magic.. there was really only 1 or 2 ways they could do this.. either the room and all its objects were props that can easily be pulled out somehow or it was different rooms. It's kinda like magicians who do quick clothes change, even tho we can't see any hints at all when performed by the most skilled, in the majority of acts, its obvious that they have multiple layers of clothes and just remove a layer each time they change... regardless of the ingenious trick-clothes that makes it possible to do it so fast there's really not many ways to do it.

[@xcho20]

Holy shit, this trick is amazing!! I almost don't want to learn how it was done. Edit: Watched the video till the end. Love the trick even more :)

[@wictimovgovonca320]

I don't get why the bunny is driving the golf cart.

[@WesBarker]

Cause it’s funnier than a random dude named Justin.

[@joshblack341]

So I recently started watching these, but random question is Chris sponsored by space station gaming because this is the second shirt I've seen him wear of it.

[@mandar3567]

Cool!!!

[@bidtles]

Reminds me of Zach kings Peleton ilusion

[@billgreen4003]

is it like the scenery moving in back ground or chriss ramsey moving like jim styoen myier dog henning david copperfield lazsy susan turn table style

[@TheGuyATX]

Is Chris wearing a space station gaming pocket T shirt? Noice

[@KonradTheWizzard]

I love how Chris' cap says "1st" and behind Wes it says "2nd" - was that on purpose?

[@rays5163]

I know these ideas aren't really feasible with shooting constraints but maybe it would have been better if chris had some sort of remote or fiddled with controls like the door in howls moving castle or perhaps have him be in like "an elevator" styled set to justify the waiting. Sorry i don't mean to be critical because i know you guys worked hard and its a great show but when he kept checking his watch it really made it clear that he was just killing time.

[@brookeloving7807]

Chris can we get a tour of all your tats?? ❤️

[@jamesreed5678]

Looking at the watch made it look like the guy had to use his watch to make sure the next room was in position before opening the door, inadvertently making me realize how the trick was done.

[@umboccioni]

Shower cap. The answer would have been a shower cap.

[@kennethdevore]

To fix the hair problem Wes should of had a shower cap on. Plus it would have been even more funny. 😂

[@geoffiida3315]

I think I’m missing something. Seems like this effect could be generated with a portable green screen for the first three shots and then remove the green screen for the run through the door, no? The green/screen option would be defeated if you physically interacted with the far-room actors (e.g., shower guy throws soap at you).

[@LeclericShow]

Emo people don’t like this clip because there are no cuts

[@OH10MADE]

😂🤣 Cue in “cancel culture” for insensitivity to self harm!! 🙄

Because of magic

[@federicolehmann5455]

[@Tahgtahv]

From what Wes said, the bunny was practically everyone on the crew at some point or other.

[@ilgazca]

1 dislike is from the tattoo guy who had to look at some other guy's butt for a whole day

[@lecuyermarcandre]

I was sure that the room, camera and Chris were rotating in the middle of different rooms. Close but no cigar.

[@rickymorphew2245]

same

[@thefrogman-ol1yp]

Yup I also guess rotating platform

[@RabbitsInBlack]

Same "MAGIC TRICK" happens at Disney World all the time in the Carousel of Progress.

[@Pandorian63]

Spacestation gaming?

[@Author-dad-veteran]

I just wonder if it wouldn’t have been easier to move Chris’ room with the camera, instead of 3 different rooms and a ramp??

[@Razagul319]

That's what I was thinking. The waiting time between the door opens would have been shorter but I assume that would have been more expensive than just having a golf cart pull the scenes

[@BrooksMoses]

The trick is to do that without Chris visibly wobbling to catch his balance, I expect.

[@mhoover]

You should have given him something to do between doors so the trick wouldn't be so obvious.

[@redbeard36]

Cool. But I think this would sell a little better without Chris looking at his watch; It looks like he's waiting a specific amount of time for the platform to be moved.

[@wepped482]

It's nice that you don't hear the truck engine rawr during the video..

[@HelenaOfDetroit]

You guys did it the hard way. Would've been easier to move Chris's room

[@AntonioGee]

Wes what was worse, the shitty bathroom set you were in or Chris's acting ?

[@otallono]

When are you guys going to get to the point of performing on cruise ships with the fans like the Impractical Jokers?

[@otallono]

@@Slyuniform you got me

[@obilbok]

In my opinion, the problem with all your Big Trick Energy sequences is that, if you weren't here telling us "look ! it's amazing", well nobody would notice them. You should get some inspiration from people like Michel Gondry, who makes sequences that are genuinely jaw-dropping by themselves, the making-of only being like the cherry on the cake (and you WANT to see the making-of because of the wow effect of the sequence you've seen).

[@otallono]

90% so the other two guys are 5% each? Or that goes to the rest of the crew probably

[@WesBarker]

Correct 😂

[@pedropartida1913]

Wes is right. Acting was cringe. LOL 😆

[@Tombsar]

What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to have the shower curtain hanging outside the bath. Absolutely ruined the trick!! (jk)
