  • it's so simple!

  • dont get it...

  • oh! so that's how it works!

  • "excuseme sir,can you let US out?"

  • mmmh yur smart :D

  • u notice he says at the end "can u let US out" forgetting to conceal the fact theres a girl in there

  • Some people use the word "Us" to mean "Me"... as in "Save us some please." And... "Give us a break!"

  • Comment removed

  • i really like these videos, but i don't think you should explain them...

  • if there is no post production then how can you hear him say i with there was a light or something

  • what's magic in this ?????????

  • Camera tricks are easy...

  • Very good! At first I thought you shut the boot and got in the back-side door, lowering the back seat, thus gaining entry to the boot, like I can do in my car.

  • Umm... I don't get it... what's this suppose to prove???

  • NICE THINKING!!!

  • i agree, he shouldnt have said let us out, but he can also mean himself and teh audince watching the trick.. he includes "us"... and it is unbelievable what time and effort goes into making these videos.. and that wouldnt even be teh hardest part, which of course would be devising the trick, and making it work.. Marco, if you guys are doing these in one take, bravo!!!! bravo anyways, either way!!

  • she did not pause it idiot she puts it in her shirt. thats why it said u need a black shirt.

  • i see. I was wondering why the 2 movies didn't make sense.

  • Oh, I see now. Haha, you said "us" on accident. I didn't catch that at first. :P

  • and what exactley was that supose to prove?

  • LOL!!!

  • i don't get it, why is the the unexposed one 18+?

  • i knew it!

  • tats true he did say us but i didnt catch it first time^_^ anyhoo wen u see the trik its amazing... but wen its exposed its not so great anymore (u sohudlnt reveal ur tricks)  to have created them and makin illusions is so awesome^_^

  • These are so fun! Thankyou Marco we enjoy your work.

    All you people who don't get it, go back to watching your fake lonely teen drama and "crazy frog" kareoke!

  • i don't get it ? when does the the magic appears ??

  • What kind of camera does he use for these videos.

  • @denthedark: she's not pausing the camera in the trunk, as Marco said there is no pausing in his videos. And besides, he's talking to the camera meanwhile. I think she's covering the camera with her hand.

  • Not really most people refer to themselves as "us" or "we" like Golum

  • Clever!!! I think he said US out as in the viewers watching along with him.

  • He blew it the moment he said " can you let US out " meaning he and his assistant , but nice tricks

  • I think he meant "us" in the royal we sense (i.e. the viewers and himself.)

  • he's talking about him and us, in the camera, when he puts the camera inside he asked"are you comfortable in there" meaning us (the viewer" dummy lol

  • he and the audiance dude!

  • i think the 'US' meant him and the audience watching throught he cameraphone

  • by 'us' I believe he was referring to him and the audience watching the video

  • It is also used vernacularly to mean "me" in some cultures... "Give us a cigarrette. I'm gasping!" in some cultures..

  • Yea you know that NOW. But he talks with a funny accent too. My dad talks kind of like that and he's always saying weird stuff with an almost Peter Sellers accent. I was wondering why the camera went all red the first time I watched it but I just figured it was because it's a camera phone.

  • I don't think most of the people typing with "I don't get it" or "What's magic about this" realize that this is the EXPOSED version of the trick... For those of you that don't get it, GO WATCH THE OTHER VIDEO!

  • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i SEE!!!

    THANK SO MUCH FOR SHOWING US!<<<

    keep it up!

  • listen! the small video at the top shows the magic, the big video exposes is, you think he put the camera in the trunk but the girl actually went in ther with it.then she pauses it.then he goes in there and closes the trunk.then you see him go out and it looks like she isnt there....gosh!, people are so stupid

  • No. No. "There's no pausing and no cutting of any kind" he said. She COVERS the camera to keep it dark while the trunk is opened again.

  • He says at the beginning there's no pausing. Watch the video again: The assistant carries a cloth, and uses that to cover the phone, so the camera doesn't pick up the daylight when they reopen the trunk.

  • Which he dint pause the cam he just covered up the lenses.

  • "what when did the magic occur??"

    Im sorry your parents did not explain this to you: Magic is not real! Its all illusion. Once you understand how its done it seems like there is no trick, but when you dont know thats the "magic" of it.

  • what happend in it, there wasn't a trick or ne thing

  • He's just revealing what REALLY happened, and not what he was showing on his camera phone... if you just watch the camera phone he closes the trunk door and then he's suddenly IN the trunk... that's the magic trick.

  • Retards complaining about having lost their spare time: Quit complaining already, the so called "magic" lies in the illusion created, you couldn't answer it before and considered it nice. And now that you find yourselves confronted with such a simple solution you can't accept that there is not much to it...oh well, maybe guys like Minoentje don't know that there is no such thing as magic.

    Amazing demonstration, simple but effectful.

  • Marco,

    You do know of course that you were under no obligation to expose your illusion. Thanks for the 'inside' tip on this on! So simplistic, and yet so mysterious!

    Johnny

  • Most of his methods are actually extremely simple once explained. He's still great!

  • got it

  • Dammit, thats what magic is!

    The definition of magic is a trick or illusion. Look it up.

    Just because you know how its done dosent mean its not magic.

    take it for what all magic is, an illusion.

  • hey what is it? ı don't get it..

  • i don't get it :s

    i don't see the magic?

    guy and girl go in the trunk.. guy and girl come out of the trunk...

    what's so magical about that?

  • you must see the original video

  • you have to look at the original taxi video

  • This video shows how the magic is reveal. the actual magic is the one on the small screen. which is another video here in youtube.

  • If you watch just the small screen (top left) you'll see the magic trick - it appears he closes the camera in the trunk, with him outside the trunk, then he appears inside the trunk with the camera. The larger screen is showing us how he did it.

  • what when did the magic occur??

  • Marco, it's really cool of you to post these "reveals". I appreciate you. It's also good how you make the important distinction of revealing these fun tricks but guarding the secrets of the art. Thanks again.

  • i dont get it. err... can someone exlpain again please? whats the magic was all abt?

  • ITS THE UMBRELLA GIRL!!!

  • Ingenious! Easy and extremely clever! Thank You Marco!

  • That's pretty good. but when you open how to do it..

    this trick it not look instereting....

  • wow, when you watch the original, he really ruins it when he asks the taxi driver to "let US out of the trunk"

    then he switches it to "let ME out" because of course we are to think he is the only one in there

  • I'll bet money that when you watched the origional video you never thought that there were two people in the cab.

    Anyways, I thought it was a cloth or something. Nice trick marco. Always so innovative :)

  • Lol i knew it...

    thanks for telling us :D

  • You are the best thing to hit youtube.

  • This is by far the worst "magic" I have ever seen...is this supposed to be a real attempt at magic? When I first watched it I was paying attention to him and the phone and didn't even see the girl get in the cab: then when I re-watched it I saw her get in the cab and it's obvious there is already a flashlight in the cab and that the woman is holding a black cloth in order to cover the lens. I can't believe someone is passing this off as magic...

  • Did you watch the origional - i.e. just the phone footage - before you watched this?

  • lol its not the trick, hes showing you how its done.

  • Don't be so judgemental. Before this trick, he clarifies that these are just "fun puzzles for you to work out" Keep it up Marco! I am having fun! And I promise not to post any more spoilers ;-)

  • notice how hes like "can you let US out can you let US out" realised what he said and then said "can you let me out"

  • woooo...coool..

  • The point of this is to show what we can't see on just his video phone. So, when you see the girl go into the cab, the jig is up...you never even see the girl on the camera phone. Just thought I'd help clarify for some of the other commenters. Thanks to whoever posted this! :)

  • when he puts the camera in, he closes it himself. she covers it up and he opens it and gets in. giving the illusion that he actually got into the trunk while it was closed.

  • Oh, wow. I'm really amazed.

  • For people who actually dont know what the magic trick was supposed to be was him putting his camera phone in the trunk and closing it, then he appears in the trunk, but i'll agree with who ever said "FINDING A FRIENDLY TAXI DRIVER" is really the trick lol

  • At least you show us how it's all done! I wish you did that with all the tricks. :P

  • What is the magic?? The flash light? Maybe every taxi has a flashlight...or maybe she was giving him the flashlight. I really don't get it.

  • the new video shows the magic done. great marco !

  • Hey, erfindisch du die Tricks eigentlich selber oder hesch se vo öpper anderem übernoh? Lehrt me das an dr Zauberschuel? :o)

  • das sind mini eigene tricks. eini vo mine regle isch, dass alles vo mir saelber si muess. nuet alts, alles neu. danke fuers innaeluegae

  • ok... danke für die megaschnell antwort! gruess us dr schwiiz

  • greetings to switzerland from new york. you should be sleeping by now !

  • actually you're absolutely right.. 3.42am... time to go to bed :o) good night!

  • wow, you mean the girl that jumped in first covered the camera... magic.

  • Trick was a good idea...but it is obvious that the assistant put her hand over the camera to block the lens. What other purpose does she serve?...he could of placed the camera in the trunk by himself. Needs to refine trick...too many people involved in such a simple process.

  • Ummm Apparently people don't get it. It's supposed to expose a trick done earlier. The video shown in the corner of your screen is the original video and the rest of the screen is showing you how the trick was done.

  • I cannot see any trick in a man getting into a car's boot. I think the trick is "finding a friendly cab-driver".

  • haha... that is easy in new york. you should have watched the other video first before watching the explanation. sorry about that.

  • What is this trick supposed to show? That there is no light in a closed taxi car?

  • i dont get it....

  • ingenius indeed!

  • haha i knew someone was covering it, the light looked pinkish, like a hand

  • How come the last view seen by the phone when he closes the trunk goes black then doesn't come back up when he re-opens the trunk? No picture returns on the phone until he turns on the flashlight. Obviously shut off video on phone between the two. This is called "editing."

  • No! If the woman covers the cam with a black cloth (or even her hand), then it will stay dark while he jumps inside the trunk... that's NOT called editing :-)

  • no editing. the girl in the trunk has a t-shirt to cover the lens. she is his helper. i think she is marco's girlfriend.

  • The assistant that gets into the trunk when he closes it puts something over the front of the camera so you don't notice. The same goes for the sound of the trunk.

  • Great job! Isn't if fabulous to share what you enjoy with the world.

  • thats pretty sweet. though it isnt edited, im sure you COULD pretty easily. just stop and restart it when its black.

  • Um, the only weird thing is that the camera lens is blocked when he opens the trunk... But uh, there is a girl in there to do it.

    Nothing weird happens. I watched it 3 times. There is no trick. Rated 1.

  • I was sure you'd edited. So "props" for proving the contraire.

  • cool!

    To all those that didn't understand what the magic trick was, only look at the cell-phone camera view in the corner. It looks like he puts the camera in the trunk, closes it and then magically appears inside. From that view, we never see him get in.

    The point of this video is not to show the trick itself but rather the EXPLANATION of the trick.

  • that was a cool trick, check out my vids :D i have 2 one is made using my vid camera the other is ok :D:D give feedback plz

  • omgosh i want to post just so you can reply to me, please reply so i can feel special!!

    Cool vids as always btw :)

  • I actually figured that out when I first watched it

  • The girl was in the car, she opened up the backseat, climbed into the trunk and thats it. Its not a trick, something anyone can do.

  • So, yeah.. this is not edited.. and there's no editing :P I get it ;) They just do everything fast on camera.

  • Where do these "I didnt get it" comments come from? Read the damn description and watch the original vid first as he states.

    Interesting explanation indeed, definately didn't think the trunk was big enough for two to make this kind of way possible. Thanks for revealing it!

  • LOL I never see or understand his tricks. I think the trick is on us. Because there is no trick.

  • The Girl got in around the 41.. 42 second mark

  • To those who don't understand what the trick is, this is not the trick it's the EXPLANATION for the trick. Go to virtualmagicians page to watch the trick as it's supposed to be viewed.

  • Gah, I feel like such a retard, I watched the damn thing 3 times trying to see what the trick was! :)P

    Oh yeah, also, bit of a flub: "Let us out, let us... uh ME out please?"

  • i dont get what was the trick in this???

  • i think you watched wrong video first.

  • YouTube has an "upload from your camera" feature. It would be cool if you could use that cause you get a graphic on the side that says, "Video uploaded from a mobile phone".

    That would shut the people who say "edited!" right up.

  • great idea ! i do this for my next one.

  • this explanation is very surprising. marco pls keep telling us more.

  • Aside form the fact that the other person is in there I would assume that happy smilie marco was saying US as in me and my the people whatching

  • I hate how you didn't show her on the camera phone after

  • i didn't understand///what happend here ,could someone tell me?

  • sorry you watched the explanation video before the puzzle video. bummer. please come back for the next one.

  • It stayed dark when he got in because the girl put the shirt over the camera, thats what she was there for.

  • I think the US was referring to himself and you the viewer... or could be a slip.

  • I dont get it. what happened?

  • sorry you watched the explanation video before the puzzle video. bummer. please come back for the next one.

  • So...what was the trick? The fact that you didn't seem him go in, or the 2nd person coming out, because neither of which was a big deal...since there was a period of darkness, it would have been super easy to cut film out and still claim "No editing"...but then if the trick was the 2nd person, you never see her in the camera phone video, so I just don't get the big deal.

  • sorry you watched the explanation video before the puzzle video. please come back for the next one. working on an new puzzle already.

  • This is the solution to a magic trick in which he mysteriously appears inside the trunk. Watch the video only in the camera phone. He closes the trunk, and then suddenly he's inside, without (as he said) any cutting or video editing. He's not supposed to be David Blaine, he's just creating a puzzle and then later on in the week showing the solution.

  • because he has better things to spend his money on?

  • That's great. I didn't even notice the first time how he said. "Can you let US out??". Haaaaa. My guess was that he had placed the camera so that it fell on it's face when he slammed the trunk shut, but Marco didn't let me post that.

    We love your work, Marco!

  • nice nokia n73, why don't you purchase the n93 :p

  • can Nokia please send me one ?

  • very nice :)

  • smart!

  • Bravo

  • :) well done marco good as always ..thanks for revealing ur secret

  • "Can you let US out?" Owned!

  • yeah that part raised some questions the first time he posted the video

  • I think he was referring "us" to us people who watches it afterwards. <.<

  • well... thank you. i wish i was that clever.

  • That was truly amazing!

    Mr. & Mr. GeezerArt

  • when he opens the trunk to get in the phone cam does not show any light it stays dark like the decklid is still closed

  • The girl have a black cloth that she putts in front.

    She does it perfect, I slowed down the video and it's

    only one frame that shows that something is covering the front.

  • is she your girlfriend ? tell me please

  • This is what I said a day ago:

    "After he close the trunk there is this screech that

    is the same sound when the trunk is opened when he climbs out.

    E.G as soon the camera goes dark the trunk is open up again and hi climbs in.

    The camera have some type of shutter engaged so the camera picture stays dark."

    So the shutter is this girl putting her hand in front.

  • WOW!

  • I saw the woman get in, so was not suprised to see two people get out. I thought, well where is the magic, until i realised that i had seen it!

  • it was pretty obvious how he did it but nonetheless it's still cool ^^

  • LOVED the trick and explanation, ingenious!

  • woah nice.

  • how do u have money to hire ur staff?

  • i do not make any money from creating these camera phone videos

    my staff are my friends and they volunteer just for the fun of it

    thanks for watching, more videos soon

  • one woman with another camera is Staff?

  • she is my secret :-)

  • she is sooo cute !

  • Fun

  • hey marco i love your videos ur really good, good luck with your work

  • Wow, Marco, you're brilliant, I wasn't expecting something like that.

    Congratulations.

  • i dont get it

  • That was really clever, I'd never had guessed there was a second person :)

  • Hahahaha, excellent!

  • I'm confused, why is the trick flagged? and then why is the trick exposed? Man..., it was fun watching though..

  • Thats cool, I wouldn't have guessed that was how you did it! :)

  • Cool, magic just requires the right frame of mind in order create. I think its cool that you prove to all the skeptics out there that magic doesn't always require video editing or computer generated trickery.

  • I thought it was a bit weird when I saw the first video and he said "can you let US out".

  • Standing ovation for Marco...

    ... Phonecam Magic Rulez !

  • The trick was he closed the truck and by magic he was suddenly inside the trunk, but there was already a girl sitting inside who put her hand on the camera so that you would not see him getting inside the trunk.

  • wtf? whats the trick? there is ppl who havent seen the girl hidding in the trunk?

  • great work marco-- love your videos.

  • Marco, kudos for being so open with us. It is great to see a showman reveal their tricks like that without fear that their bread and butter will be stolen. And it won't, because you have the imagination and character that nobody else can match! Great work.

  • he said let "US" out! ??? LOL

  • Marco you are cool for revealing some of these. I think if I had to watch too many without ever knowing, it would get annoying to not know (just as Leno said). But it's really generous of you to do this! It's really clever to see how you come up with these. I still can't figure out the umbrella one, LOL.

  • That was very coool Marco , I was totally lost when I watched the other one , very well done and very simple but very creative , thank you for showing us all the magic :D
