I was about to reply with an explanation with how that trick is likely done but I realized that no one likes the pedant who ruins magic tricks so instead I will say that I like magic and that's a fun trick.

I can't believe I'm putting spoiler tags on magic tricks but inside it or under it. The bottom of the chair has legs to make it look like there's open space under it but mirrors are often used to make it look like that with tables and chairs and poo poo when really it's solid and someone crawls up through from underneath.

There's open space under it because you can see all the way through it. Watch then the sheet drapes down, and his feet.

She's curled up in the chair and pops out when the sheet moves in front. It's one of the oldest tricks, but they did it really well.

I love learning how tricks are done as much as I like watching them to begin with. Just a big fan of magic. I get really annoyed when magicians really lean heavy in the idea their magic is real though.

I had no idea what you were talking about because as much as I love the guy, it's not like I keep track of the dude. Now that I watched the trailer for his documentary I'm gonna guess "he's dying but he's also beating it" which is what everyone's doing every day anyway.

Penn's all right, he rarely lets his libertarian views impact the way he treats actual people. He is also willing to entertain ideas outside that mindset, like one time he expressed some interest in universal basic income. And he hates Trump, unlike the vast majority of libertarians who have taken the kool-aid, because he knows Trump personally.

I feel no shame in watching him do magic tricks on YouTube.

Oh no, I'm not boycotting them because Penn has lovely political views. All things considered he seems like a pretty nice guy, generally, and as far as I know (fingers crossed) he doesn't have any like, extremely :wtc: stances but I'm definitely recalling some... "interesting" views espoused on Bullshit, for example. Mostly good things as I recall, but still some questionable poo poo.

Oh definitely, I wouldn't vote for Penn for any political office. Not that he'd run.

Teller is usually really interesting to talk to, and his voice is somewhat surprising if you haven't heard it before.

3rd game of the Arkham series. Peaked at the 2nd game, Mark Hamill probably does his best joker in those games.

But really, just start with Arkham Asylum. Being the first game it has less bloat going on. And then if you want more, you can sink your teeth in the sequels.
