Seriously, does he fake this shit on camera or is it non-camera aided magic?

Does anyone have any idea how he does any of his tricks????

[Marklar MM]

Uh. I think Chris Angel(Kris, Cris...however it is spelled) did one were he was in a block of ice for a couple days. They had a trap door underneath, and he would just go out and be replaced for a while by a man with similar size, hair, etc.

So Coyote, how much is your life savings worth?...

[Vashner]

Rebreather... and little tubes with flesh coloration...

It's an illusion. If you watch closely enough, when he picks up the can, before he starts rubbing it, you can see him switch cans with one in his left sleave. From then on its just working with a trick can.

[Gerryatrics]

There is no switch, the same can is used throughout. But since it doesn't take supernatural powers to do the trick, it is indeed an illusion. It's quite simple to do really once you finally track down someone to teach you or stumble upon the instructions. It is one of the more spectacular looking street magic tricks, when done correctly. I'm still waiting for the amount of this "life savings"... :)

[Coyote]

On the money!

[greyforest]

these are so fun to dissect.

watch closely...when he pops it open, he has a finger over the mouthpiece and his thumb over the tab. he probably uses his finger to pop open a tiny bag filled with pressurized beer. this is quite convincing though, just odd he had his finger over the mouthpiece. however, when he pours it out is much less convincing; he does it away from the camera behind him, and just at the last second he messes up by moving and showing the can. it is not pouring out anything, and makes no noise.

I thought you wanted to know how to catch the Roadrunner???

[xrayzebra]

The guy doesn't care, he got a free beer......maybe

[Gerryatrics]

There's one can, one regular can at that. There's no bag involved, it really does have beer in it. When he lowers the can and when he turns his back, those are just misdirections to make you think somethings going on when it's not. The actual illusion is quite simple.

[Samr]

I am possitive I saw the switch with the "trick can." Something went down his sleeve.

[SA210]

:td

[Nbadan]

blah. If you stop it at 14 sec. you can see one can going down his sleeve while the other rapidly pops out of his sleeve. Why pour the remains of the beer on their blanket with one hand and then switch to the other? At 15 seconds he makes the switch to the other hand, but leaves his other hand up because the other can is up his sleeve.

Don't ask me how what's his face made the statue of liberty disappear though.

:lol
