No he is really a robot you see him take a sip of water at end it's to convince you that it was a act.....in reality it's a bottle of advanced coolant ....nobody drinks water b4 they get off the stage

@@13christbaneit most definitely looks much more like what animatronics used to look back than than what a human pretending to be a robot would be like
I've gotta say this is really unique. Most magicians are all about the glitter and flashes of light and mirrors. This guy picked a light-hearted, original theme, does it WELL, and it sure looks like a packed house to me. New territory for the business is always welcome.
This magician was a hardcore gamer back in the day. Every piece of his music and sound effects came from a mix of popular games from N64 Era, and mashed together, with Ferris Buellers day off movie, from the same era being the main background. Command and Conquer games and Red Alert being the main sound effects/music mash.
It might seem like fun and games now but in 20 more years this will be seen as the equivalent to blackface and condemned by androids everywhere. Just you wait.
If we keep going this way I think you may be right. Every generation gets dumber and dumber, and in another gen. or two, humans will forget the millions of reasons why AI is not a good idea.

Mike Michaels aka robot man.. Creator, builder, performer, Mike Michaels continues his world-wide success and acclaim as he astounds audiences with the world’s only Mechanical Magician. In a performance which combines his robotic movements, state of the art mechanical electronics, and a staggering bombardment of cartoon sound effects, he creates the unusual imagery of a Living Robotic Magician. Mike spent over 5000 hours of research and development to update his original, award-winning act, Mike’s body blows up revealing his moving robotic skeleton, creating the world’s most original display of special effects and magic, live on stage. This specialty act is valued at a quarter of a million dollars.
This is neat. I like quirky performances like this that combine magic and comedy. This reminds me of a character that you would see in a Rudy Coby act. I remember one time watching a video this street performer called The Candy Man, and he looked all acrylic like this, but he was dressed as like one of those 1950s soda jerks or ice cream men, and he'd just keep walking around the crowd acting like a robot and handing out candy to the audience. But he seemingly never ran out. Like he'd keep finding different pockets in his clothes to pull out lollipops and sweets. It was neat.
That's like comparing the Nintendo Entertainment System to an Xbox One X. The newer tech is always going to look better and function more smoothly, but you can't deny the classics.
@@kinshimangila4852 We were both jokingly calling the Zucc a robot, but I was playing the part of the 'gotta love the classics' guy. An r/whoosh would be if I was saying, 'But Mark isn't a performer/robot though.' Now that I've explained the joke, and sucked some of the fun out of it, I'm going to go back to watching random videos on the internet.
As far as I can tell, Mike Michaels is now living in Las Vegas, beeing a magician, designer and creator of illusions, consultant, inventor. Best Magician I've ever seen ! And the most memorable too !
This was several years ago if not in the 90's. Robotics back then wasn't common and would mostly only appear in sci-fi films. This was absolutely entertaining and fascinating how someone could mimic the movesments of a robot and master it.
Earth Is A Donut honestly it still entertaining to me to this day 😅 it’s so accurate as far as the body stops it was hard to believe he wasn’t a prop at first. I saw him breathing but outside of that you could’ve fooled me lol
His tricks are so perfectly done and subtle that they don't come across well on this blurry video. It'd be 100% better live I'm guessing. This guys tricks and props with Mr Zeds movements and humor would be a show stopper.
First time I’ve ever seen this guy, that was soooooo sick. He should have went on America’s Got Talent and he should be a feature act in Vegas. That was just fantastic.
You must need to be extremely good at multitasking to pull this off, not only is he doing the head movements, the legs, hands, arms etc all carefully moved to look like a robot and he is doing tricks at the same time. Very good
i can't believe how amazing this was in more than 13 years ago(people there didn't know what to do because tgis act is just too amazing for them to understand at that time)
What really impressed me was his ability to stay in perfect synchronization with the prerecorded sound effects.
The only other comedian do something similar is Bo Burmham in his I think second standup special. At the time he didn't have a sound team or anything so everything was prerecorded and he practiced for months to ensure his timing was correct
They actually have a guy in the back with a keyboard that triggers the sounds. Most live shows do that^^
Other way round. They take the cue for him.
Because hes a robot

Its all just generic stock sounds. Unfortunately, all those video games also used stock sound libraries, so they all have a lot of overlap.
