      +Knosis "Why" and "how" are NOT semantically the same. When a magician does a magic trick, you don't say, "Why did you do that?" You say, "How..."

    This is actually a pretty easy trick to pull off. Once he enters the parking lot take your camera and snap the photos, then once he comes in and opens the package use The World to stop time and switch what was in the package with your photos.

      Just cause you don't understand it doesn't mean it's racist. Just like just because something bad happens to a black person doesn't mean it happened to the person because they're black.

    The packages are different - look at the placement of the text "Please do not bend" on the envelopes. They just took pictures of the guy before entering the building, printed them quickly and then made the switch. Probably had a security scanner downstairs and asked him to leave his stuff in a tray or something.

    Here is how it was done. the main picture of him picking up the package was already in the envelope. This could have been placed in his car at anytime, to be more specific 'switched' is the right term here. once they had a photo of him picking up the envelope all they had to do is switch the envelope in his van with one which had the photo, probably his company was in on it. The other picture taken while he was crossing the road was placed there by Michael himself under the other picture when the papers were handed to him briefly. 2nd picture was never inside the envelope.

You can see the moment where someone runs behind the courier, slices his throat from ear to ear, and instantly replaces him with a body double that is carrying a new envelope! It's really quick but if you pay attention, you can totally catch it!

      I assume They typically try each bit on 3-6 people, 1-2 of them don't fall for it, 1-2 of them refuse to sign the release to be on National TV, than they pick the best of the remaining 1-2. If you've ever seen the GOLDFISH STICKERS prank you'll see I am correct, that day, every one they tried it the Goldfish prank was fooled, and everyone had a great reaction, and everyone signed the consent form. I personally wouldn't sign the consent form due to personal reasons. Not everyone wants to be Tru TV (especially looking like a confused Jackass) Some people can't do it for legal or professional reasons.

    This one is actually pretty easy to explain. He just took about a hundred ants and trained them to paint a very accurate picture. One of the ants peeps out of the envelope describing the scene to the other ants, who paint the picture with little tiny paint brushes and cans of paint. When they are done that, they paint the second photo. Then they sneak out of the envelope when the driver isn't looking and the paintings are dry by the time he opens it.

    hmm, interesting because the courier seems to be ready to open the package before he is asked to

      They didn't REALLY do it. Michael already had the pictures and he did a sly trick to make it look like they are the ones from the package.

      The switch probably happened as Corey explained it, i also thought maybe the switch happened before he got to the office in like security check or something, but he said no one touched the package so that couldn't be it.

      ***** Magicians and pocket pickers are good at doing things like this without the audience noticing. He definitely did it right in front of the guy without the guy noticing.

    It could be that the photo was taken somewhere else. They edited the background with Michael's location.
