      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. Even better that since the show was already halfway through we weren't eligible for a refund😂

    It's funny, I was exactly the same way as a teen. Had a huge crush on him and believed everything on mindfreak lol. Now you see how these tricks are done everywhere. One that particularly stands out is that show Magic's biggest secrets finally revealed. That was a fun one. I mean some of them were obvious, but others I was genuinely curious about. One I do like watching now though is the carbonaro effect. The best part is the way people react, and I don't know how he does half the shit on it lol

    I grew up knowing pretty much his whole family. They ran a local music shop in town where they’d sell you guitars or give you instrument lessons. They seemed pretty normal for the most part. 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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

He'd also tell me how he thought it worked. I would be up giggling till I fell asleep

    I want to make a whole movie about that. Like, it starts with him doing this trick, and from there it just follows this girl living in the body of a twenty year old and all the awkward shit she has to go through in school, etc. Every holiday or vacation she gets she tracks him down and stands at the sidelines of all his productions, "Change me baaaaack!" Eventually she learns the dark arts herself and they have a mind-freak-off and when she defeats him, he reveals that this was his plan all along, to pass on the mantle to her. Then she skulks into the shadows with the camera crew and editing team as her mom waves a tearful goodbye.
