Have you've seen the movie called 'The Prestige' ? Same kind of trick is done there with a twist(don't want to spoil it) I highly recommend you to watch that movie, and when finished continue on with 'The Illusionist' both amazing movies!
If you had been crammed in a box for half an hour, if not several hours, laying under and on top of multiple other people, and then have to ignore any stiffness and pain as you scramble to stand up in a certain position in under ten seconds, you’d probably be less than enthusiastic as well.
I watched the show live in Barcelona and he did this trick several times. The last time it was performed with people from the public "randomly selected". And I also find it weird that these people express no emotion like surprise, confusion, excitement. They just walked out emotionless as if they just stepped out of an elevator.
Its strange how all 4 volunteers walked on that platform with wide open legs and avoiding stepping on Centre. But still an impressive illusion to pull off so quickly and in daylight.
This is a good point, actually. I assumed the enclosure for them to lie in at the bottom had a lid, but it doesn't. That explains how they can make the move so fast. They just drop right into the enclosure (which is long enough for 2 people and wide enough for 2 people, so everybody is lying next to 1 other person. They just step into it and lie down. And the 4 twins on the other side just stand up, put their feet on the edges and their hands against the glass, and they're ready. And yes, it's 4 sets of twins. Using twins in this type of act is very common. When I think about how a magic trick is done, I have to remember one key thing: "Magic isn't real." So since what appears to have happened isn't possible, it has to be something that is. If I was going to make a box as shaky as that one is, I would only use a piece of plywood at the bottom. Ask yourself: Why is the bottom thick enough for somebody to lie down in? It's weird that both of the bald twins are wearing bald caps. I wonder why. It's easy to see the seam on the forehead of both of them.
Ok I think I know how this works, the bottom plate of the chambers are thick enough for four people to lay down on each other slightly overlapping like fallen domino bricks. When they enter and later exit it, you can see that they never place their feet in the middle the walk only at the edges. There is probably a thin layer of brushes which you can easily hide in and jump out. These are for sure twins. As soon the covers go down the first 4 people hide in the bottom plate and the other 4 stand up and place their hands. How ever they made an oupsy. The woman in the back has her hands placed lower in the first chamber 3:15 and her counterparts hand are higher in the second chamber 3:43 And on top at 4:31 after stepping out the bald guy has a red mark on the back of his head which looks like he got by laying backwards on something for a long time without moving.
You’re absolutely right. And look how these ‘volunteers’ enter and exit the chamber they somehow know not to step on the middle cuz it’s a false bottom. And they don’t even speak English as if they’re from the magician’s home country lol
Wheel slowed until controlled speed to land on black. Twins and hidden floor for the trick. You can see the black mat/floor raised to one side with a lump in the original container. Black also being the color of the shirts to help hide imperfections. None of the volunteers selected speak English or speak at all. When entering the container they all walk feet spread apart to not fall into the pit below. They put their hands on the side of the wall when entering to brace support for not falling inside way before the magician instructs them too. The male volunteers both have a bandage on their heads because one has cut their head several times compacting into the floor below. The male on the revealing side also has an additional cut on his forehead that the first did not. Crawl space is tight especially for that guy. You can also see the shaking and speed change in the movement on both containers as they get in place. Still impressive timing to get it all done.
To the people saying that's not the same guy because he has a scar when he came out, he got the scar because in the few seconds they were gone, they were in another dimension. In this dimension, those few seconds to us, were weeks to them. This dimension was also filled with beings beyond human comprehension and they had to survive there until El Mago Pop opened a portal for them to return. It was during those few weeks of survival where he got the scar...
They went in one box with smiles and left the other box looking dead inside. The passage through the ether took their souls. Still have no idea why they were blindfolded.
They are blindfolded to protect their souls leaving through their eyes as it would have been eaten by the soul master as they travelled through quantum time and space. I mean it's pretty obvious, right? 😅
They were stuffed like sardines into an extremely tiny hidden compartment at the bottom of the box in sweltering heat and made to wait there till it was time for the trick. I'd probably be a bit dead as well.
again, to hide to the people watching that they were part of the trick, same as the wheel to "randomly" pick them was also part of it. it was actually insanely simplistic.
Very impressive! Although the reporter at the end who spinned the wheel twice gave away that they are not random because it landed on color black all the time.
Note that the wheel is spinned again after the trick, two times. It always ends on the black color. At 4:48 and then at 5:11. The woman with the white top did noticed it.
And what a coincidence the "random volunteer" she interviewed before the trick, has the same accent as the magician. They didn't anticipate them talking lol
Finally decoded this trick: A group of identical twins including bandaged baldy and bracelet sis to add the natural element of excitement and distraction is placed in the bottom hollow space of the box. That's already done from before. The Spin Wheel is Remote Controlled or preset to stop on Black. When entering the box, the first group walks only on the edges which means there's a hollow 12 inch space for them to lie down and layer on each other but the camera can't capture that much depth. But you'll understand from the body width dimensions being similar for all of them. Next is to drop the curtains, the rapid movement indicates changed positions. They then lie down flat, the curtain drops to mask the increase in depth of the base and if you take a look at the 1st box's base, there is a slight increase like a bump in height which is masked by the curtain at the base. Voila, teleportation complete! But remember he said whatever you do, don't move, and because they obviously had to move...lol... When you take a look at the final version, they managed to maintain equal spacing between each other but the last girl moved her hands higher than the other two girls... And lastly pay attention to the boxes spinning. Given how the boxes were spinning in the same direction, ideally baldy should have been teleported exactly in the same spot in the box but was in the opposite direction in the second box... But all in all... A stellar performance pulled off in 6 seconds with identical twins dressed exactly the same right up to the last girl's pants folded a little above the shoes. Very very well done overall. All minute details were captured save for a few. 😊 It's impossible to account for all the possibilities... Even The Thinker from The Flash failed to do that.
So he has to find and train four different twin pairs every time he performs this trick? I guess that's more plausible than using actual magic, but still...
The existence of the wheel itself is a dead giveaway for how the trick works. I mean there lots of spectators, so if he just wanted a random selection, he'd have lots of methods to get one. But by having multiple teams he can easily have a preselected team while also allegedly giving real randoms a chance. There are only two reasons why magicians would do it that way. 1. They are on Fool Us and want to misdirect Penn and Teller or 2. they are forcing the selection. And why do you need to force a selection for that trick? Because you have twins on the other side waiting. It's not like it's hard to understand how he did it, but by using such an obvious force, he basically told everyone how the trick works.
"Lets randomly select people from the plaza by spinning the wheel!" [Spins wheel] "Hooray, it landed on the group with all the skinny, young people with wigs who look less enthusiastic and more foreign than the other people and are petitie enough to hide in the floor! wow! Come on guys!"
Why is people always so mad about the fact that this tricks are not real? Of course everything is prepared, always is. There is no such thing as magic in case you still haven't noticed, just people great at making cool tricks. Let people enjoy them ffs.
@@sadotter1 we respect cool tricks like when David Copperfield disappeared the Statue of Liberty 🗽. This trick is lazy and badly executed and quite frankly insulting to my intelligence.
Hoda messed up big time by calling him a comedian. Poor Antonio, he just looked at her like. "why did you call me a comedian, I'm an illusionist. I can't believe you messed this up."
@@yvonneplant9434 But she knows how to read a teleprompter very well. :) That's the requirement these days lol. (And for many years and most people in the news tbh.)
the only logical conclusion is that it's 4 sets of twins. They had to practice like crazy to be able to fit into the false bottom of the of the boxes. If you notice they all walk on the outside edges of the floors, that's because the floor flaps have to open up in the middle.@@stephenc9358
Half of my enjoyment of this trick was the novelty and the surprising event that seemed to be happening, but it was also admittedly pretty entertaining to spend like half an hour looking at the video to figure out how the trick could have been done lol.
If you look closely, you can see the first box jostled a bit after they dropped the curtain. The spinning adds to the trick but also helps to mask it shaking around as they quickly lay down on the floor.
do you think they were all in fetal position or like a centipede? also, good thing the chunky family wasn't the plant... would've been a tighter squeeze
This is really easy 😂 - a lot of practice but very simple. - first they uses 2 groups of people that are adentical and them when they close both cages, it starts moving because when they close both of them, the first group, they have a little place to hide lying down on the floor very tight, the other group is laying down already and when the close, they stand up rapidly, you can tell the bold guy and the last girl their hands position wasn’t position the same from the first group, the second group came out like we made it! Hopefully no one notice it 😅
Everyone's acting like it's so obvious that they're hiding in the spot. I'm *still* confused as to how that thin base was thick enough for four people to hide in?
Keep in mind everyone, all the time, walk only on the edges of the base. They never step the center of the base. "Touch the glass" is just a made up rule for them to assume that unnatural position so nobody suspects. I know it looks thin, but maybe it's thicker than people think or they all hide in a manner where they can all fit there somehow. Also, as soon as the curtains fall check how both boxes shake, like they're moving really fast inside because he's giving them a countdown. They have like 8 seconds to hide. Also, if you look super super close to the original base, there's a small bump that wasn't there before. I think the base is hollow and there's like a small black sheet that covers it so they can remove it, hide and place it again. And they have it practiced to the millisecond. It's not obvious, it's still a tremendous illusion and a great performance, but if you pay attention to the small details you might figure it out.
search for 'the masked magician' or 'breaking the magicians code' all the tricks including this were revealed in 1998 and 2008. it was a great show. there's always more room in the floor than appears, you'll see this method used in loads of tricks
@@tarno89 Yeah, there's something iffy about the reflection in the glass, like arched at the bottom. Still, as I said, it's a great trick, if you suspend your disbelief, or show it to your kids it's an amazing trick and it shows they put a lot of effort and thinking and production into it. Kudos to the illusionist and the crew.
It’s just twins. At 3:26 you see the box suddenly start shaking because they’re hiding in the false bottom. Just before the curtain is lifted on the empty box you see that box shake in the same way, which is the other set emerging from the false bottom.
🤫 Here's the secret to this trick 👇 1. Have a set of 4 twins 2. Plant one half of the twins in your "randomly selected group" - The black shirt group are planted. Although the other color shirts may have been truly chosen at random, they were never going to be selected by the wheel 3. Guarantee the spinning wheel will stop at black to choose the twin actors 4. The twins entering the left box hide lying flat on the floor after the first curtain drops. The twins exiting the right box that are hiding flat on the floor stand up the second curtain drops. Notice how both platforms shake dramatically after curtains go down
If you look at the man, his head from the guy who gets in to when he gets out, he has a bandage and scar on his head that very clearly wasn’t there. Looks like a bald cap on the second guy. Twin didn’t want to shave his head too. And he got a little too close to the camera. Girls hairlines are odd too but they don’t get close enough for small details and with the horrible compression of this video. But the wow isn’t with the little guy it’s with these people and how they contort themselves. They look so tired getting out. Must have been all cramped up.
When they walked into the box, they immediately put their feet on the sides of the box, they didn't walk in the middle. They knew exactly what they were doing.
@@ElInventor I'm not saying your scenarios is exclusively wrong, I'm asking: how do you know for sure that the guy who filmed with his phone is not an extra? And even if he was no part of the stage, the producers wanted him there so afterwards they would use him as the most (single)credible source for authenticity of the event. This is a used practice - the ones in control use a victim without him knowing he is a victim by giving him biased info and the he goes out into the public to speak with the most credibility(actually playing the owners plan).
@@ryutenmen People have phones, sometimes they film a magician while they are at street. Another example is when the magician Dynamo levitated near the brazilian christ statue. It was filmed by his cameramen and also by someone in the public. Also, why would he need an extra to film him from the public's view? That doesn't affect to the trick.
4:07 someone spun the wheel and it stopped in black color, again 🤔 that means the wheel is not perfectly balanced so black color will always be selected
he used volunteers who have a twin. When they get in the crate, he walks on the sides, the center is just a cloth. As the curtains fall, the crates move, they hide in the double bottom, and when they raise the curtain you can see that the black border of the floor is higher than when they started. Meanwhile, the twins in the other box emerge and move into place. What's more, the bald man entering the box on the left has no scar around his temple, while the man leaving the box on the right clearly has a scar above his eye.
It is a well executed trick. 4 sets of twins . Black was always going to be chosen. They are told to remain still in the box yet as soon as the covers go across the box vibrates a lot suggesting a lot of quick movement as they hide in the concealed base. The other box also vibrates at similar moment as the twins jump up out of the same space in the other box. The twins must be total pros to be able to execute this so well.
Yeah I see it now. If you look at the top of black floor inside the empty box (either one, whenever it is empty) you can sometimes see a tiny bulge that comes up a little now and then. That's because it is a black spandex or cotton sheet. That's why they are all standing in it with their feet on the outer edge where the surface is hard, straddling the pit. As slim as the floor looks, if you consider the absolute bottom of the outside of the box, and the absolute top of the inside floor, it's actually just enough height to hide these thin people lying down. As many have said, there are two sets of twins. They are working with the magician. That's why they don't see anything when the reporter tries to interview them before they go in. The one girl starts to say something and you can tell she has the same accent as the magician. The wheel is also rigged to always pick black.
The first bald guy had no red markings 2:04 on the top back of his head - second bald guy had a reddish marking on the top back of his head 4:30 (when he turns around)
Ok I think I know how this works, the bottom plate of the chambers are thick enough for four people to lay down on each other slightly overlapping like fallen domino bricks. These are for sure twins. As soon the covers go down the first 4 people hide in the bottom plate and the other 4 stand up and place their hands. How ever they made an oupsy. The woman in the back has her hands placed lower in the first chamber 3:15 and her counterparts hand are higher in the second chamber 2:31 And on top at 1:37 after stepping out the bald guy has a red mark on the back of his head which looks like he got by laying backwards on something for a long time without moving.
To design it they had all 4 twins lay down as tightly as possible on a piece of plywood. They then measured the length. width, and height and they build the box in those dimensions. That is the black box you see at the bottom .
two sets of four people. You can tell from the last girl hand position. when they were transferred to the right box, the last girl’s hand position is much higher than when she was in the left box. As mentioned by others, the black color can be determined in advance.
Yeah, they're different people that just looked alike. the drawing was a lie, giving the illusion of randomness. There doesn't look to be much room under the platform, but there is. if you watch them get on and off the platforms, they walk on the outside edges, never touching the center, because it's a cloth covering. Also, the guys face has a some dirt on it when he gets out of the second one, from his face being pushed up against the tight quarters. And one of the girls has differnet color highlights in her hair.
If you look closely, they turned the color wheel 3 times and the color black came out 3 times. In addition, if you look closely, one of the "volunteers" when leaving has a skin-colored band on his forehead, as well as bumps and scars that he did not have before. They're twins!!!
hello, my name is Marti and I'm from Spain, I went to see the pop magician when he did that when he wasn't so well known and he teleported my mother, they're not twins.
*It's so obvious how this was done !!!* *1 - The supposedly "random" spin was not random at all. It was always going to land on one of the two black spaces due to MAGNETS pulling the spin in that direction.* *2 - The team in black works for them (and so do their IDENTICAL TWINS inside the floor of the other box !!!* *3 - The shuffling can be seen in both boxes at different times. This was the first team going to hide in the false floor, and the second team of twins emerging from the false floor.* *ILLUSION SOLVED !!!*
For the trick to be elaborate enough that it leaves you guessing. That's what makes a good magic trick: You know it's fake, but you can't put your finger on where the fakery is. This one is too obvious because the literal only way you'd ever manage something like this is with 2 sets of people and a hiding place inside the spinning box. So it's just very plain.
hello, my name is Marti and I'm from Spain, I went to see the pop magician when he did that when he wasn't so well known and he teleported my mother, they're not twins
The four people have identical twins hidden in the second box and when the curtain goes up, they hide in the floor. Look at the girl wearing pants, the blonde hair behind her ear is longer when she comes out of the second box and at the begging is short. And the bald guy of the second box has a scar on his forehead that the first guy didn’t have.
1. The box’s black platform is black and larger than it seems for both boxes 2. The spinning sign is weighted to hit black (sorry casinos) 3. The black team have the same foreign accent as the magician (coincidence but ok) 4. They use identical twins who are not fat. 5. Current goes up, the 4 lay flat while simultaneously the other twins stand up. (Notice the other twin has a red mark and a bandaid in his bald head for laying flat too long.) 6. Shimmery is for any extra movement just in case BOOM! Sorry conspiracy theorists 🙃
Good, but not perfect. See the placement of hands of the last girl, its different in both boxes. Also, when the curtains fall, both boxes shake. One hide under the sheet below in box 1, and another one come out of the sheet from box 2.
Hoda questions the audience: " Do you understand now why Antonio is the first comedian on Broadway"? Not really...thought he was suppose to be an illusionist. Time: 4:50
I see 3 options. 1. they are all crammed into the small space under there and he has identical twins. 2. He has a really good invisibility window. 3. Paid actors and a camera trick.
@@kosgoth It had to pick the team in black because only the team in black were the magician's accomplices. The wheel is rigged so that it always picks the team comprised of the accomplices.
Disclaimer, people were randomly selected. Ok. "RANDOMLY SELECTED". Presenters were so curious that they spined the 2 more times and all of them were on black.😂
He made few days ago an interview in the famous podcasts the wild project in spain, and he told that in this trick the today show have to choose the volunteers, thats why he explains in the podcasts he was a little nervous jajajaj for those who are saying that the volunteers are twins or something similar
Twins!! The twins with the pink sweats have different color blonde enhancements. One twin looks to have just recently dyed Hers to look like the other. The feet spread apart is to make the box appear small but I bet they quickly open a sliding hatch on the floor and lay down 2 to each side like sardines. The other set of twins in the other box quickly slide the hatch away, stand up and pretend like nothing happened. This is why the second set of twins hair are static fuzzy from the quick movement. When they pull down the vale you can clearly see the quick movement on both sides. Your welcome!
Have you noticed that the bald guy has a big bandage in the top of his forehead? His twin that shows up in the end has some cuts in the side of his left eye that his brother doesn't have. My theory is that one of the twins got injured right before the stunt and so they just faked the first twin also being injured by just putting a bandage as his brother, but they forgot about the cuts... Also, have you noticed how the team that one the chance to participate was the slimmest of them all? lol
different actors, at 4:32 you can see the guy is wearing something to hide his hair. This is actualy very impressive, congrats to the team, it must have required a lot of practice !
TWINS ,the lay down in the first chamber. TWINS pop up in the second chamber . The Magician on FOX who told all the Magician secret did it with his assistant who is a twin . Good Trick . This guy just used more people . BRILLIANT !
It's still an impressively done illusion, even though it's obvious that it's done using quantum entanglement based teleportation.
jeez, there's always one person who has to spoil the trick...
Have you've seen the movie called 'The Prestige' ? Same kind of trick is done there with a twist(don't want to spoil it) I highly recommend you to watch that movie, and when finished continue on with 'The Illusionist' both amazing movies!

He was very clever to use curtains to hide the "shimmery" during the entanglement
That old chestnut.
Kudos for the original team waiting in the false bottom for the plaza to be evacuated after the show.
and the team that had to wait for this thing to be shot!
@ddritter. Deducción demasiado errónea.
And the first guy with no noticable bandaid the the 2nd guy with the big bandaid on his forehead 😂
@@MiguelMorales-sh8jp explain please
@@boss7229you can actually see the band aid in both, this is to create the illusion it is the same person.
It will be more impressive the 4 volunteers act very surprised and happy as they come out, expressing disbelief. These guys just walked out gloomy.
No, this is more impressive as it looks like it is real life and not fake acting.
tbh it would be more impressive if they actually teleported them
Probably tired from being in that box for all those hours holding their pee.
If you had been crammed in a box for half an hour, if not several hours, laying under and on top of multiple other people, and then have to ignore any stiffness and pain as you scramble to stand up in a certain position in under ten seconds, you’d probably be less than enthusiastic as well.

Well, the facial expressions, the body language and facial geometry is also different on bald guy. Probably with all of em, cba to look again.
the bald guy is not really bald. has a prosthetic to appear bald...
I think this is correct. When the curtains go down you can also see the chamber and curtains shake from the people hiding and appearing quickly.
We can also notice the lady at the back of the 1st and 2nd chamber, the edge of her t-shirt was already on her hips😊
You’re absolutely right. And look how these ‘volunteers’ enter and exit the chamber they somehow know not to step on the middle cuz it’s a false bottom. And they don’t even speak English as if they’re from the magician’s home country lol

it's definitely twins because the guys look nothing alike. One is like a lot mor frumpy and the other is skinny. Also the tall girls look different.

Note that the wheel is spinned again after the trick, two times. It always ends on the black color. At 4:48 and then at 5:11. The woman with the white top did noticed it.

Great👍
And what a coincidence the "random volunteer" she interviewed before the trick, has the same accent as the magician. They didn't anticipate them talking lol
yeah the wheel doesn't slow down smoothly , does all sorts of accelerations and decelerations

Voila, teleportation complete! But remember he said whatever you do, don't move, and because they obviously had to move...lol... When you take a look at the final version, they managed to maintain equal spacing between each other but the last girl moved her hands higher than the other two girls...
And lastly pay attention to the boxes spinning. Given how the boxes were spinning in the same direction, ideally baldy should have been teleported exactly in the same spot in the box but was in the opposite direction in the second box...
But all in all...
A stellar performance pulled off in 6 seconds with identical twins dressed exactly the same right up to the last girl's pants folded a little above the shoes. Very very well done overall. All minute details were captured save for a few. 😊
It's impossible to account for all the possibilities... Even The Thinker from The Flash failed to do that.
How do you explain that hollow space if clearly there is a small black box under it that makes it spin? No one seems to have an answer for that.
All it needs is mattress size thickness. 4 ppl can lie down 2x2 and turn head sideways
the one part that gave it away to me as im aware of the twin switching. was baldys twin has a cut above his eye and the firs twin doesnt.
So he has to find and train four different twin pairs every time he performs this trick? I guess that's more plausible than using actual magic, but still...
@@potat0_1996 The hollow space is the whole bottom of the box
4:53 the look on his face when Hoda calls him a comedian... 😂
*I noticed that too. I was like, "Comedian ...? huh"?*
Big mistake...too bad
I noticed it too! She was so astonished she didn't realise what she was talking!😂
It was priceless! His face pumped the brakes on the smile. 😬🤣😂
You can see that the wheel was turned twice at the end of the show and it always stopped at black
not to mention everyone involved with the trick is wearing black including the magician..
The existence of the wheel itself is a dead giveaway for how the trick works. I mean there lots of spectators, so if he just wanted a random selection, he'd have lots of methods to get one. But by having multiple teams he can easily have a preselected team while also allegedly giving real randoms a chance. There are only two reasons why magicians would do it that way. 1. They are on Fool Us and want to misdirect Penn and Teller or 2. they are forcing the selection. And why do you need to force a selection for that trick? Because you have twins on the other side waiting. It's not like it's hard to understand how he did it, but by using such an obvious force, he basically told everyone how the trick works.
"Lets randomly select people from the plaza by spinning the wheel!"
[Spins wheel]
"Hooray, it landed on the group with all the skinny, young people with wigs who look less enthusiastic and more foreign than the other people and are petitie enough to hide in the floor! wow! Come on guys!"
Do the green team with the fat Americans next!
Well people are ok with OCD but not OBCD
Why is people always so mad about the fact that this tricks are not real? Of course everything is prepared, always is. There is no such thing as magic in case you still haven't noticed, just people great at making cool tricks. Let people enjoy them ffs.
@@sadotter1 we respect cool tricks like when David Copperfield disappeared the Statue of Liberty 🗽. This trick is lazy and badly executed and quite frankly insulting to my intelligence.
They are super slim indeed!!
Hoda messed up big time by calling him a comedian. Poor Antonio, he just looked at her like. "why did you call me a comedian, I'm an illusionist. I can't believe you messed this up."
She's not particularly smart.

She meant because it’s funny how short he is lol
Those four people were obviously part of his performance group, not random and that's why they weren't questioned after.
The real trick was turning Carson Daily into Brendan Fraser

Side effects of teleportation
From the blindfold?
it teleports and cures you...not bad
@@floridahrrcn 🤣
Obviously bro they just got quantum entangled. I wouldn’t be surprised if their organs were mixed around
You can see the boxes shaking like crazy as the groups are climbing in/out of the false floors. Neat trick though.
Yes, I can see it shaking….but how did they get from one box to the other?
the only logical conclusion is that it's 4 sets of twins. They had to practice like crazy to be able to fit into the false bottom of the of the boxes. If you notice they all walk on the outside edges of the floors, that's because the floor flaps have to open up in the middle.@@stephenc9358
@@stephenc9358They didn’t it’s twins
@@raddreactsbut there’s not space for any false doors that big….
@@kellythrush2419 There is but it’s extremely small
Half of my enjoyment of this trick was the novelty and the surprising event that seemed to be happening, but it was also admittedly pretty entertaining to spend like half an hour looking at the video to figure out how the trick could have been done lol.
If you look closely, you can see the first box jostled a bit after they dropped the curtain. The spinning adds to the trick but also helps to mask it shaking around as they quickly lay down on the floor.
I don't get where they can hide ?
@@3anaurv2 the bottom of the box is tall enough for the time to lay down in.
@@unkkit151- Doesn’t look that way to me. Not for 4 people
do you think they were all in fetal position or like a centipede? also, good thing the chunky family wasn't the plant... would've been a tighter squeeze
The other empty box shook too. Those are some heavy curtins 😂
amazing trick, to pull that off in 6 seconds is truly impressive!
150 years ago this would be a miracle, now we all know there are twins hiding in black floors of the box
There’s no space for 4 people to hid in that box lol
@@Loversonly98 They are very thin
@@Loversonly98look again, there's just enough. Unless you truly think 4 people teleported.
@@Loversonly98 there is , look again. This trick was poorly pulled of
@@Loversonly98 you must be american,right?😂
This is really easy 😂
- a lot of practice but very simple.
- first they uses 2 groups of people that are adentical and them when they close both cages, it starts moving because when they close both of them, the first group, they have a little place to hide lying down on the floor very tight, the other group is laying down already and when the close, they stand up rapidly, you can tell the bold guy and the last girl their hands position wasn’t position the same from the first group, the second group came out like we made it! Hopefully no one notice it 😅
the footings gave it away 😂
Everyone's acting like it's so obvious that they're hiding in the spot.
I'm *still* confused as to how that thin base was thick enough for four people to hide in?
Keep in mind everyone, all the time, walk only on the edges of the base. They never step the center of the base. "Touch the glass" is just a made up rule for them to assume that unnatural position so nobody suspects. I know it looks thin, but maybe it's thicker than people think or they all hide in a manner where they can all fit there somehow. Also, as soon as the curtains fall check how both boxes shake, like they're moving really fast inside because he's giving them a countdown. They have like 8 seconds to hide. Also, if you look super super close to the original base, there's a small bump that wasn't there before. I think the base is hollow and there's like a small black sheet that covers it so they can remove it, hide and place it again. And they have it practiced to the millisecond. It's not obvious, it's still a tremendous illusion and a great performance, but if you pay attention to the small details you might figure it out.
search for 'the masked magician' or 'breaking the magicians code' all the tricks including this were revealed in 1998 and 2008. it was a great show. there's always more room in the floor than appears, you'll see this method used in loads of tricks
The base is thicker, but the "glass" windows are shaped in such a way to make it thinner.
@@tarno89 Yeah, there's something iffy about the reflection in the glass, like arched at the bottom. Still, as I said, it's a great trick, if you suspend your disbelief, or show it to your kids it's an amazing trick and it shows they put a lot of effort and thinking and production into it. Kudos to the illusionist and the crew.
@@coderdbd agreed. Execution could have been better. It feels shallow. Acting is not the best. But it's pretty good.
the fact that they spread they legs open when no one told them to let’s you know it’s a hole in the floor
It’s not random at all. They spin the wheel 2 more times afterwards and both times it landed on black again.
I want to see his magical face when the wheel lands on ANY OTHER COLOR BUT BLACK!
@@hazbutler that's so deviously unmagical! 🪄 😊
It’s rigged. 😅😅
Then he'd go: we eliminated this color to show it's really random, now spin the wheel again!
Bottom black has weights to make it heavier, so it will stop always on that color. I used to work on a festival in Mexico.
@@cincuenteando nice, a pro, thanks!
Someone also said he has it controlled by remote in his pocket. 😄
It’s just twins. At 3:26 you see the box suddenly start shaking because they’re hiding in the false bottom. Just before the curtain is lifted on the empty box you see that box shake in the same way, which is the other set emerging from the false bottom.
No matter what the arseholes are saying here in the comments, it is a very well performed trick.
its actually one of the worst tricks i ever seen . atleast should have made that wheel slow down more realistically.
🤫 Here's the secret to this trick 👇
1. Have a set of 4 twins
2. Plant one half of the twins in your "randomly selected group" - The black shirt group are planted. Although the other color shirts may have been truly chosen at random, they were never going to be selected by the wheel
3. Guarantee the spinning wheel will stop at black to choose the twin actors
4. The twins entering the left box hide lying flat on the floor after the first curtain drops. The twins exiting the right box that are hiding flat on the floor stand up the second curtain drops. Notice how both platforms shake dramatically after curtains go down
Nice. The false floor is the only part I didn't understand.
Doesn’t make sense
If all of them were to lay flat on the floor they would go straight up to the top
@@justjavii They don't lay on top of each other...they all lay on the floor Tetris style.
I’m not convinced of a false floor. Mirrors seems more plausible
@@Nock4Six clearly never seen a clown car 😄
They are all twins. To prove that they're the same person, the magician should have joined them too and should have been transported.
you think there aren't twin magicians out there :)
@@chdata of course there are. But El Mago Pop doesn't have one.
If you look at the man, his head from the guy who gets in to when he gets out, he has a bandage and scar on his head that very clearly wasn’t there. Looks like a bald cap on the second guy. Twin didn’t want to shave his head too. And he got a little too close to the camera. Girls hairlines are odd too but they don’t get close enough for small details and with the horrible compression of this video. But the wow isn’t with the little guy it’s with these people and how they contort themselves. They look so tired getting out. Must have been all cramped up.
When they walked into the box, they immediately put their feet on the sides of the box, they didn't walk in the middle. They knew exactly what they were doing.
dude The Prestige is a movie you think it's just gonna be used for magic tricks if such a thing made its way irl
The host to the crowd: "Are you shocked?"
The crowd all in sync: "Yeah!"
Sure, no extras.
The crowd are not extras. One of them filmed this with his phone, and made it's way to Daily Dose of Internet.
@@ElInventor I'm not saying your scenarios is exclusively wrong, I'm asking: how do you know for sure that the guy who filmed with his phone is not an extra?
And even if he was no part of the stage, the producers wanted him there so afterwards they would use him as the most (single)credible source for authenticity of the event. This is a used practice - the ones in control use a victim without him knowing he is a victim by giving him biased info and the he goes out into the public to speak with the most credibility(actually playing the owners plan).
@@ryutenmen People have phones, sometimes they film a magician while they are at street. Another example is when the magician Dynamo levitated near the brazilian christ statue. It was filmed by his cameramen and also by someone in the public.
Also, why would he need an extra to film him from the public's view? That doesn't affect to the trick.
@@ElInventor it's not about affecting the trick, its to "affect" the public perception.
20 Years from now people will say: "Remember the time a teleportation-device made a fool out of us?"
4:07 someone spun the wheel and it stopped in black color, again 🤔 that means the wheel is not perfectly balanced so black color will always be selected
he used volunteers who have a twin. When they get in the crate, he walks on the sides, the center is just a cloth. As the curtains fall, the crates move, they hide in the double bottom, and when they raise the curtain you can see that the black border of the floor is higher than when they started. Meanwhile, the twins in the other box emerge and move into place.
What's more, the bald man entering the box on the left has no scar around his temple, while the man leaving the box on the right clearly has a scar above his eye.
It is a well executed trick. 4 sets of twins . Black was always going to be chosen. They are told to remain still in the box yet as soon as the covers go across the box vibrates a lot suggesting a lot of quick movement as they hide in the concealed base. The other box also vibrates at similar moment as the twins jump up out of the same space in the other box. The twins must be total pros to be able to execute this so well.
Yeah I see it now. If you look at the top of black floor inside the empty box (either one, whenever it is empty) you can sometimes see a tiny bulge that comes up a little now and then. That's because it is a black spandex or cotton sheet. That's why they are all standing in it with their feet on the outer edge where the surface is hard, straddling the pit. As slim as the floor looks, if you consider the absolute bottom of the outside of the box, and the absolute top of the inside floor, it's actually just enough height to hide these thin people lying down. As many have said, there are two sets of twins. They are working with the magician. That's why they don't see anything when the reporter tries to interview them before they go in. The one girl starts to say something and you can tell she has the same accent as the magician. The wheel is also rigged to always pick black.
The depth of the floor is pretty thick
Now do this with the green team ...
anyone else noticed that @4:30 the bold guy somehow got a plaster on his forehead and a bruise on his head after he transported?
yeah because of the teleportation he broke the reality and he got accidentaly hurt so he put a plaster on his head
This is not a illusion and people still don't believe teleport does exist as UFOs too
Magic + Technology = REAL MAGIC
The first bald guy had no red markings 2:04 on the top back of his head - second bald guy had a reddish marking on the top back of his head 4:30 (when he turns around)
And do you lots e the cut in front of the second bald guy. Or maybe he hurt himself during the transfer.
The marks are from the BLINDFOLD,. BOOM. there it is.
@@vicsville760 ahhh. Ok. Then I have no idea how he did it.
Ok I think I know how this works, the bottom plate of the chambers are thick enough for four people to lay down on each other slightly overlapping like fallen domino bricks.
These are for sure twins. As soon the covers go down the first 4 people hide in the bottom plate and the other 4 stand up and place their hands.
How ever they made an oupsy.
The woman in the back has her hands placed lower in the first chamber 3:15 and her counterparts hand are higher in the second chamber 2:31
And on top at 1:37 after stepping out the bald guy has a red mark on the back of his head which looks like he got by laying backwards on something for a long time without moving.
the second one is not bald but wears a latex mask. you can see very clearly on his forehead where it has come off.
Did the other colors also have backup twins in case the wheel “randomly” landed on them 😂😂
Obviously not.
If he could make green group disappear and reappear then I'm impressed.
of course the wheel was rigged
The wheel always lands on black, they spin it after the trick ends
@@pricey0986ify It seems that's why they used the word "randomly" in quotes.
If you look close enough the 2nd bald guy who came out of the box is blatantly wearing a bald cap. Lol.
That's a band aid and a cut.
Dead giveaway was the first girl who spoke had the same thick accent as the magician
To design it they had all 4 twins lay down as tightly as possible on a piece of plywood. They then measured the length. width, and height and they build the box in those dimensions. That is the black box you see at the bottom .
This trick is great! I wonder if the guy hit his left temple while teleporting 😅 (checkout 2:02 vs 4:32).
Man you have crazy observational skills 😅
Interesting how the second girl with the shortest shorts suddenly has differently tied shoelaces 🤔
The emphasis on random what they select the group kills me
That is one tiny magician
I think for me it’s how unsurprised the decoys seem
1. They don't open the first one. 2. The wheel in the background stops on black... AGAIN!
The twins that walked out looked exhausted. Probably had to lie cramped together under that false floor for a long time.
they have seen things
You can see the wheel slow down at a much faster rate to "randomly" stop on black. Still a cool illusion
two sets of four people. You can tell from the last girl hand position. when they were transferred to the right box, the last girl’s hand position is much higher than when she was in the left box. As mentioned by others, the black color can be determined in advance.
Yeah, they're different people that just looked alike. the drawing was a lie, giving the illusion of randomness. There doesn't look to be much room under the platform, but there is. if you watch them get on and off the platforms, they walk on the outside edges, never touching the center, because it's a cloth covering. Also, the guys face has a some dirt on it when he gets out of the second one, from his face being pushed up against the tight quarters. And one of the girls has differnet color highlights in her hair.
Did she really say "he is the first comedian on broadway"? That look he gave her after the fact 😅
😂
If you look closely, they turned the color wheel 3 times and the color black came out 3 times. In addition, if you look closely, one of the "volunteers" when leaving has a skin-colored band on his forehead, as well as bumps and scars that he did not have before. They're twins!!!

@@martialiberch4025 jajajajajajajajaja octavo mandamiento.!!!!
The wheel conveniently stopped at black again
*It's so obvious how this was done !!!*
*1 - The supposedly "random" spin was not random at all. It was always going to land on one of the two black spaces due to MAGNETS pulling the spin in that direction.*
*2 - The team in black works for them (and so do their IDENTICAL TWINS inside the floor of the other box !!!*
*3 - The shuffling can be seen in both boxes at different times. This was the first team going to hide in the false floor, and the second team of twins emerging from the false floor.*
*ILLUSION SOLVED !!!*
People in the comments pointing out its just a magic trick and they didn't actually teleport... What did you actually expect?!?!?!!?!
For them to teleport.
For the trick to be elaborate enough that it leaves you guessing. That's what makes a good magic trick: You know it's fake, but you can't put your finger on where the fakery is.
This one is too obvious because the literal only way you'd ever manage something like this is with 2 sets of people and a hiding place inside the spinning box. So it's just very plain.
Twintastic
hello, my name is Marti and I'm from Spain, I went to see the pop magician when he did that when he wasn't so well known and he teleported my mother, they're not twins
They get 4 people that look the same. Possible twins. They lay on the bottom of the box. You could tell it just high enough to lay flat.
But for 4 people? They must be extremely professional, this barely looks enough for 2 people (in my normie eyes) lol.
How much do you think he paid those poor actors, shoving them down in his boxes? 🤨
The four people have identical twins hidden in the second box and when the curtain goes up, they hide in the floor. Look at the girl wearing pants, the blonde hair behind her ear is longer when she comes out of the second box and at the begging is short. And the bald guy of the second box has a scar on his forehead that the first guy didn’t have.
1. The box’s black platform is black and larger than it seems for both boxes
2. The spinning sign is weighted to hit black (sorry casinos)
3. The black team have the same foreign accent as the magician (coincidence but ok)
4. They use identical twins who are not fat.
5. Current goes up, the 4 lay flat while simultaneously the other twins stand up.
(Notice the other twin has a red mark and a bandaid in his bald head for laying flat too long.)
6. Shimmery is for any extra movement just in case
BOOM! Sorry conspiracy theorists 🙃
Good, but not perfect. See the placement of hands of the last girl, its different in both boxes. Also, when the curtains fall, both boxes shake. One hide under the sheet below in box 1, and another one come out of the sheet from box 2.
Hoda questions the audience: " Do you understand now why Antonio is the first comedian on Broadway"? Not really...thought he was suppose to be an illusionist. Time: 4:50
I see 3 options.
1. they are all crammed into the small space under there and he has identical twins.
2. He has a really good invisibility window.
3. Paid actors and a camera trick.
The “volunteers” being obviously European looking who just make noises instead of speaking is also a big give away.
This was Mago Pop's jobb offer, 1 month before the show: "Looking for 4 skinny, very similar twins actors, to make a secret magic show in NY ..."

Yup the way they walk in & out of the box they only walk on the edge not the middle. The set of twins hide in the bottomed out floor 🤘

Imagine if the wheel had landed on green. That box does not look safe.
There's a very good reason that the wheel didn't land on green...
It's a racist wheel.
@@philthycoder It had to pick the ones that were the least enthusiastic and who they forgot to tell to act excited.
@@kosgoth It had to pick the team in black because only the team in black were the magician's accomplices. The wheel is rigged so that it always picks the team comprised of the accomplices.
@@jezpeep538 how so? Is that satire?
The wheel was spun 3 different times in this video…landed on black every time 😂

Disclaimer, people were randomly selected. Ok. "RANDOMLY SELECTED".
Presenters were so curious that they spined the 2 more times and all of them were on black.😂
I just watched The Prestige. "Are you watching closely?"
Obviously real teleportation,
He made few days ago an interview in the famous podcasts the wild project in spain, and he told that in this trick the today show have to choose the volunteers, thats why he explains in the podcasts he was a little nervous jajajaj for those who are saying that the volunteers are twins or something similar
You see the movement as soon as the tent goes down
things would have been interesting if the wheel had stopped on the green
2 sets of people that look identical.
Twins!! The twins with the pink sweats have different color blonde enhancements. One twin looks to have just recently dyed Hers to look like the other. The feet spread apart is to make the box appear small but I bet they quickly open a sliding hatch on the floor and lay down 2 to each side like sardines. The other set of twins in the other box quickly slide the hatch away, stand up and pretend like nothing happened. This is why the second set of twins hair are static fuzzy from the quick movement. When they pull down the vale you can clearly see the quick movement on both sides. Your welcome!
Have you noticed that the bald guy has a big bandage in the top of his forehead? His twin that shows up in the end has some cuts in the side of his left eye that his brother doesn't have. My theory is that one of the twins got injured right before the stunt and so they just faked the first twin also being injured by just putting a bandage as his brother, but they forgot about the cuts... Also, have you noticed how the team that one the chance to participate was the slimmest of them all? lol
@@arrrthurk I noticed that too.
