Thread: Magic Hamburger

LOL!
"I'll have fries with that!"

Very good, reminds me of David Blaine

Anybody know how he does it???

< hole in the window/ open window, slit in the signboard:white latex > > "Serve Windows" are popular in Japan....??
Defintitely NOT in his hand prior (see "bun" shape is uncrushed)

Wrong..Any more guesses before I reveal the answer.

i'd like one for my wall...vegetarian version if possible...lol

Well....FINE!
It's not a real hamburger anyway, being from Japan an' all....

Pray! Do Tell, Generalissimo!

Yes, I am also very curious, no idea how such a trick is performed :)

GOT IT!
Life-like sponge burgers....and a static decal placed over, then removed...

But he takes a bite and the first burger remains attached to the wall/pic/menu. Only the second burger is removed to leave an empty blank space.

Edit.... Oh yeah, I see what you mean, didnt notice it before but the first burger does get removed from the pic. Then he puts it back. But he still takes a bite which means it can't be sponge.. Unless he really is a freak :)

< didn't see him swallow, and a bulge remains in his cheek. No offer for others to get too close or to touch... >

All good but how does one explain chris angel?

He is a great performer...A bit on the weird side.

Oh man, Oh man

I believed in magic and now I know it just tricks!!!!!

I'm gonna have to look at the Harry Potter movies over and over again now!!!!

Since this is not live I think it was done with a lot of film editing. I like the part where he removes the first burger which was whole on the menu, takes a bite, then puts it back in the menu, reviling the menu with a burger missing a bite.

i'm stooped. WHO IS HE?

Lets examine the facts.

1) This is not real, if it was real this guy would be running the world.
2) He clearly has nothing in his hands.
3) The burger is real.
4) it is a solid background.

And most importantly

5) This is a made for TV trick.

Here it is....

Since the trick is staged and choreographed for TV, the camera crew is in on it, not only the camera crew, but the spectators also. It is one large trick with over 15 players designed to deceive the television viewer.

On que, all the spectators oooh and ahhh and look astonished, it is all part of the illusion.

How do you think David Copperfield made a jet disappear? He had 100 “witnesses” form a circle and hold hands around it, covered the jet with a sheet, flicked the lights on and off and presto, whamo, the jet is gone.

The whiteness’s are still holding hands in a circle and the jet that was in the middles of the circle has vanished.

Each “witness” or should I say stage extra was paid $200 for the days work and signed a NDA non disclosure agreement.

To make it look even more realistic, they threw in a few kids and grannies.
