Penn and Teller had a similar trick in their act I saw earlier this year. I wonder if they were making fun of Criss. They were "live chatting" with someone (I think they truly were) but then they were trying to like, guess when their birthday was (it's a bit foggy now. It was back in January) and make them a cake and the whole time it was just Teller off screen setting up all the stuff for Penn who was the one chatting on camera. It was pretty funny.

This is the kind of stuff that really dampened my love of televised magic shows. In the 80s and 90s, there were a lot of magic specials on TV. And whether it was David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, or a rotating cast of different illusionists performing in turn, they were all doing real sleights, highly technical routines, complicated builds...all these different skill sets. To present illusions that you could watch again and again, trying to work out how they accomplished it. The moment you employ camera or editing trickery, it crosses a line that I feel betrays the spirit of the art. And I don't just mean positioning the camera so it can't see any funny business behind your back...that goes without saying. But televised magic should always be presented in a way that's honest about the performer's ability. Anyone can do 'magic' with trick photography.

My cousin appeared as a "reactor" for one of his tricks. The trick was supposed to be that he flourished a deck of cards, and threw them up against a solid glass door, and then one of the cards (previously picked by an audience member) would appear embedded in the glass. According to my cousin, Criss had to repeat the trick multiple times because the mechanism that allowed the card to slide down into the "solid glass" door (it was hollow obviously) kept malfunctioning, so they had to get multiple takes until it worked as perfectly as Criss intended, and they told the crowd to just standby and give a loud reaction when the trick would finally work. It was pretty hilarious to me at the time because of how the show tried to make Criss' tricks and audience members feel a lot less staged than they actually were. Also, my cousin's reaction made it into the episode. She's acting all flabbergasted and says "It's EMBEDDED...in the glass!" Like yeah lmfao that's exactly what the trick is.

I saw Mindfreak Live in Vegas in maybe 2017 or 2018 and I gotta say, I was actually amazed at some of the tricks he performed. I fully believe the show was all complete bullshit, but being there in the theater watching things happen right in front of my eyes was mind blowing. I understand magic is all the art of Illusion, but buddy fr teleported to a different part of the stage instantly and I was sitting there like 👁👄👁. He did a lot of other crazy shit but it was a long time ago that one just stuck out the most to me. Unfortunately dude is a total douche-cannon cus halfway through the show the fire alarms went off in the theater and he was like wtf what's going on?? So they had to stop the show and evacuate everyone etc. but upon leaving we talked to a vegas local, and apparently it's common that if he doesn't like the crowd (I guess we weren't cheering and juggling his balls in our mouth as much as he wanted) he'll "fake" a fire alarm emergency to cut the show short.

Saw his live show in Vegas this year (to my surprise he still performs nightly, I hadn't heard of him in a long time until passing through) and have to say it was way beyond my expectations and thoroughly entertaining. Now he has some other TV show getting other sub-celebs to compete by teaching them some of his illusions, wasn't too impressed by the TV show.

[@blue.inbloom5412]

The diversity of tricks in this show was fuckin insane. It's crazy that one moment he'd be straight up realistically cutting his arm off or getting run over by a damn bulldozer while laying on a sheet of broken glass and then the next moment he'd be doing stupid ass shit like this 😂😂😂

There was one episode of the show where the camera cut was edited poorly. Chris was in a casket with his hands cuffed through 2 holes in the lid and he had to pick the lock. When they did the edit, Chris still had one hand outside, so his hand blinks out of existence and he opens the casket

[@joshkresnik6402]

Growing up I idolized him from many angles from his magic to his music, the aesthetic of his style, but the biggest thing that drew me in was his story. I read his memoir multiple times and gained a different level of respect for him at a personal level. Even if it’s cheap and a gimmick, he had a dream and made something of himself and all the success he has he worked for and he deserves everything he has. I’m not the biggest fan of his magic so much, his music is pretty good I still dig that stuff but his story and how he got to where he is now, that’s the reason I have so much respect for him to this day

[@lui__v]

I remember an episode where he was talking to demons and became “possessed” and ended up needing to get evacuated and put in an ambulance and as their loading him in, he was screaming at the cameras like he was still possessed. I cannot imagine someone doing that today and being taken seriously

That sounds like Derek Accura from Most Haunted. It was a show where a camera crew would venture to apparently haunted locations throughout England and Derek was the psychic channeler who would "commune" with the spirits. Sometimes even pretending he was possessed and it was super unconvincing

I enjoy Fool Us a lot these days. Everything there just feels so genuine, and sure there are times you can easily see through the trick, but that just brings magic tricks to a different level. Knowing how the tricks can be done, and hoping that the performer is so damn good that you can't see it even when you know it.

[@SensitiveSavage]

Really? My guy you're a genius. I can never figure it out 🤣. Although when it comes to magic, I've never really tried. Despite knowing it's an illusion, if you never discover the trick, it never loses its magic, but even then some of them are genuinely impressive 👏🏾.

Interesting perspective. I dont like magic tricks. The novelty is lost because I know theyre fake. Its swindling yourself on purpose. Its interesting to see the sleight of hands but for stuff like that, I like things like counting cards that have a clear benefit and trick to them.

[@kingcosworth2643]

Fool Us is a really good show. The thing I like the most is that they have absolute standards. No stooges, no camera tricks (sometimes there has been some editing to make it better for TV but P&T can still see everything) and that the producers know how the trick is done before they go up so it is legitimate. All this makes the trophy worth something and the magicians need to bring something creative to the table to win it.

[@ARUCARDFTEPES]

I recall way back around like 2000, 2001, somewhat before he got REALLY big, at the front of the shop they had this series in of CDs he released independently with like, this super electronic/industrial/NIN type music. They all had the same cover art but toned in different colors. I still have one of them somewhere.
