But I absolutely cannot get over how he first appeared and later vanished the squares in plain sight with his hands nowhere near them. YouTube video is missing a frame or two right there, probably to prevent assholes like be from going frame-by-frame to figure it out. Sure it still looks great in person. Motherfucker. Sure looks like a laser but it can’t be without eyepro for him and the audience, the FDA does not gently caress around. Amazing.

Gromit posted:What year was this? The main unit looks like a small tube laser with external power (possibly a fibre-fed beam from an off-stage tube but the device looks too big for just that). No idea what he's using for the hand-held "Darth Maul" stuff. But if it was done in the late 80s or early 90s things were pretty cavalier, especially in a small private venue.

Gromit posted:Or if you're Kostya Kimlat and doing his amazing card cull, you get P&T both up on stage so they are close to the action and are actually blind to one of your moves. I made the mistake of watching his insufferable intro, so after your comment I was primed to see this as an attention/gorilla gag, but holy hell. I love how how Teller was so shocked that he grabbed the cards from the table! Side note, goddamn P&T are classy, the shows format was made for YouTube, but it’s only the contestants posting. Almost makes me forget their lovely 2000’s libertarian poo poo.

Talking to magic consultants seems really unfair somehow.
