Drew Thomas Magic *Explained* - *Act Revealed* AGT 2009

[Nemanu5]

fuck you, magic is magic for a reason. dont fuck it up ass shit

[nektam2]

not sure why every1 is so angry- magic is an illusion, nothing more, if u dont want to know how it was done, dont watch. 

[pk26pk26]

@nektam2 So tell us why this latchkey kid is providing this thesis on a PUBLIC YouTube channel? You must really have contempt for this particular art.

I don't give a %^&$# over some disaffected post-GenX youth posting and narrating their thesis in private with their friends. I DO HAVE A PROBLEM when they post it on YouTube, then like uneducated brats blow off at critics claiming "magic is only an illusion", as if it was a worthless art form.

Grow up!

[nektam2]

not sure why every1 is so angry- magic is an illusion, nothing more, if u dont want to know how it was done, dont watch.

[SpeedTheory]

I'm not even watching this video, I just clicked on it so I could leave a comment and let you know you're a real asshole. It's people like you, with no life, and NO TALENT, and nothing better to do than sit online and RUIN things for other people. You know how much work Drew puts into his work? And why? So some asshole like you can sit at his computer and ruin the countless hours of work he puts into it? You've embarrassed yourself. Congratulations.

[bandgeek89]

If you guys hate this so much...why did you watch it?

[Bubbles32000]

@bandgeek89 soooo true.!(: lol

[billpage]

cool yep tool box idea is the same simluar idea like cool valtino the masked magician on fox 43 and later on helping his new masked magician with m ore help from illusionist cool magiciamns from the magic castle

[kenna362]

Y did u have 2 ruin it??!! everybody liked it untill this!!

[Busher50]

Okay I don't mind you revealing the trick but atleast let us SEE THE PERFORMANCE FIRST THEN REVEAL IT!

[devonmale69]

As a KID you just don't understand do you..... Forget this and find a hobby for yourself. Try and be an achiever not a losers

[jojoradiation]

I could figure this out myself

[CoreyWhiteCollar]

This still hardly explains anything.

[akabg1]

wow. ok. one of the girls is my cousin. why don't you let people just enjoy the magic trick without having to explain it and ruin it for everyone. of course theres no such thing as magic. all magicians have a way of making their tricks look real when they really arent. but this guy is a great magician. and i supported him all the way through. i know this is old but maybe if u hadn't explained the trick to everyone and ruined it he wouldve had a chance at winning. way to go douche bag. ur so rude

[kandc01]

i love this magic trick :) and thank for explaining it to me! but next time you should have done it a nicer way :]

[beerpac7]

your a dushe, hate you very much...

[janvictor1]

the video was good by i have to agree with lovenermore cus the maera guy has nothing to do with it so good job about the revealing..... if you were there you would have none

[miucke]

to all you that says he fck your fav magic trick up.. well DONT click on the clip that says: Explained* on it .. who the fck cares of what u have to say? u dont even need to be here. as u dont want to know how the fuck it works.. and EVEN if its damn fun to see how the fuck it works.. they have some damn talent to make it work and look real for 100% u think its easy to make somthin like this? no so shut up and get a life for god sake..

[beerpac7]

@miucke your a dushe too

[cobbax9916]

Im glad this was revealed well done for making this video haha. Makes it look

easy. Now we know.

[matrucci]

(continue)

so the people that doesn't like magic is because they are watching it with the mind side instead of the emotional one. Magic is emotion, magic is about believe.

The problem when you reveal something is that you don't want to perfor this tric. You just want to reveal how it's done. And that's sad bc it means you are taking to the trush lot of years of study, practice, money and lot of things.

Is sad how that stupidity destroy us. And the same stupity will end destroying the earth.

[matrucci]

it sad that us, magicians, work really hard to amaze our audience. And we tell them that magic is an art, so they will experience an "illusion". In other words, we tell them that there is a secret but to not think about it so they can enjoy it.

So Magic is for inteligent people, because they know there is a secret but they still want to experience the magic, because magic happend when we wanted to happend. When we believe that something happened when it only happened in our hearts.

(continue)

[8803333]

I'M WATHING THIS ON TV RITE NOW !

[Disciple]

Well done, I already figured out the switching of the guys with the girls but couldn't find out how the magician got to the back of the judges, you did it good!

[ginorichter2002]

awesome video!!!

[cassietje123]

if you don't want t know how the trick is done, why do go and watch a movie called ' act revealed'...........

[16charaallen]

Ps people can't help but watch this because everyone can't help but be curious. But that's the fun of it. People wanting to know and not knowing :)

[16charaallen]

What ever happen to nevar telling the secrets to a magic trick.... The whole point is to be amazed. Now they can never do that trick again because the answer to it is now brodcasted over u tube :( but u did do a good job at explaining it but still it's sad that now that trick will no longer be fun to watch cause it takes away the fun of makeing the impossable look possable

[gut197]

whats so bad about revealing his trick? the title clearly said that

[TheObservantOne1]

Question: why call him a "great magician" in the description when you're revealing his trick? It's kind of hypocritical.

[mattman9656]

Why "explain" something that obvious? and ruin it for the people that dont know it hahaha

[ailenliw]

I saw him in a cruise and is so amazing!!

[RockersTakingOver]

Lmao! "Keep your eye on the little dark man in the back" 7:10

[g1u1i1t1a1r1]

Wow, thanks for that I never would have found that out. lol I saw him live and I thought he was a little concieted and showed off his wife too much. She doesnt even do anything! Anyway.... yeah

[gjaddajg]

Ehm, are you stupid? Why "explain" something that obvious?

[asigotothebazar]

where did the clothes of the men go ?

[UzumakkiOo]

Thaaaaaaaaaaanx for explaining , hate ppl whom called theirselves magicians and all what they do is a trick , where is the magic ? , even though its fun :P liked it both . the show and the video 5/5

[BadBunnyRides]

So, if you know how all this works, why aren't you up on stage making a name for yourself.... instead down in your parents basement making vids to post on youtube?

[sportsgurllam]

i would have never figured that out even though some people hate it i still find it cool.

[MrAmankalra]

hi Guys u can see height of person going back from right and height of person coming out from back both are different also

[SourExplosion]

If you didn't want to see how it was performed, why the hell would you click on a video with those very words IN THE TITLE? Damn, people, are you just dumb?

[dancemandance]

This is just wrong, dude. Drew works very hard and NEVER reveals how things are done because that just ruins everything about it. Let people think what they want to think and let magic be what it is. Leave it alone.

[mombo555]

um ok first of all its a Illusion thats the whole part of the show he knows people know how he does his tricks but its great entertainment, man you are a tool i am without a doubt not giving u credit for this u low life

[LetMagicLive]

You re so stupid AND a loser!

[MagicHitch]

iT'S A SHAME THE YOUNG MAN WHO IS RESPOSIBLE FOR THIS VIDEO DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO WITH "HIS" TIME AND TALENTS. DREW AND HIS CREW HAVE INVESTED TIME, TALENT, MONEY, AND A LOVE FOR MAGIC. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS THE WORK OF SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO CREATE SOMETHING OF HIS OWN. DREW WILL GO ON TO A LIFE OF SUCCESS. THIS IDIOT WILL DIVE FURTHER INTO HIS OWN SHADOW OF BEING A LOSER. WITH A CAPITAL "L".

[LetMagicLive]

@MagicHitch

Thank god there are still people out there like you man. I couldnt have said that in better way. Completely loser that guy is... pfff.

[Juangmagic]

You idiot...magic is not about the secret, magic is a form of art, like a Movie you don't want to know how they do special effects to enjoy it, so THEY DON WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET, they don't need to know to enjoy it, you know how much effort takes to create a magic effect, how long they practice to perform it to an AUDIENCE, these is not about what the tittle says and you aren't the only one who do this, but you should understand what are you doing...why ruin magic for everybody else?

[LetMagicLive]

tottaly agree with u :)

[samsonik24]

Thanks

[SillyEnviousAna]

I hate people like most of you. Always ruining for the people that just want to enjoy the trick.

[MrKeeJo]

The people who just want to enjoy the trick don't have to watch the video.

[SillyEnviousAna]

Why are you talking to just me? Hm? Why don't you coment on the other people that agree with me.

[MrKeeJo]

your the first one i saw

[freakstupid11]

@SillyEnviousAna if you just want the trick then go find that video instead

[olddeuteronomy]

It says "Revealed" right in the title. You want to be kept in the dark, don't watch it.

[MrCameronlaw]

THEN DONT WATCH THE VIDEO!!! stupid

[carl056]

@SillyEnviousAna you have to agree that you were intriged cause you took the time to watch and comment the video

[AdrianvsJak]

@SillyEnviousAna If you didn't want the trick explained, why watch the video?

[ginywiny]

@SillyEnviousAna lol then why are you watching this...

[miucke]

@SillyEnviousAna dont fcking press on a clip that says *Explained* in it then if u dont wana know u fcking dumbass

[makedarkroses]

@SillyEnviousAna well, this is youtube. If they like this trick, why would they want to see what REALLY happened? Also, why would they click or even look at this video in the first place? And in fact, why would YOU? To be a hater on those who WANTED to know what happened?

[Shamanmagic95]

@SillyEnviousAna they dont have to watch this unless they want it revealed

[memberHD]

@SillyEnviousAna if you just want to enjoy the trick, try not watching videos where the tricks are explained

[dragonanimestuff]

@SillyEnviousAna well then how about you watch a video that DOESN'T have the word "explained" or "act revealed" in the title?

[earlyblue]

drew himself can`t be to happy about this being Revealed,,,,

[imranbecks]

I just wanna know who the blonde girl is...lol..

[TexEMT88]

Nice I saw that too but didn't think to make a video!

[baddmanaz]

it's all about misdirection.

[Zephyri0n]

wow, captain obvious makes videos now?

[KidMagician]

K guys, please read the following 3 comments in order from top to bottom, it was too big for me to put all in one :P

[KidMagician]

WOOOOOW, ?I just wanna say that I couldnt agree more with lovenevermore. Firstly, you are a tool, this act was nearly flawless, that change between the guy and the girl behind the box that u spend so much time on saying it was untimely, was fine!

[KidMagician]

Imagine the man walking at the speed along the back of the box, eh would have gotten tio the opposite side where the girl was right at that time! And the girl who was as Drew's elbow, she didnt look impressed of his appearence behind the judges because he walked right in front of her, thats not Drews fault, its just the way it had to happen, but do u not think that even the rest of the audience members were blown away just to see that drew wasnt in the box they all saw him crawl into?

[KidMagician]

Thats why a large number of them were applauding at the time that drew vanished, the girls were revealed and the guys were revealed, the applause was coming from the people who didnt see drew behind the judges AND the people who did. And what do you mean "you can go do this for your friends, am I the only one here who thinks thats one of the most idiotic comments ever? You're cleary not a magician, just some kid who spends too much time critisizing other peoples art.

[Melchior742]

You sound familiar

[lovenevermore]

yea....you just really f*ck*d that up for me...that WAS my favorite magic act of all time....it's not the fact that you revealed it....it's the way you did it....talking as if the people that were part of it were stupid or something...and the camera panning.?...the audience didn't pann with it dumbass.....

[farc300]

His tricks were very easy to figure out, but there was an element of surprise which made his tricks good. He should have switched this trick and the lemonade trick and he might have gotten through.

[lye54]

Would appreciate you analysis on how the girls disappeared and his daughter appeared on the semi's act. A secret compartment under the floor of the hut?

The ladies 'appearing out of nowhere' is a no brainer. Behind the curtain (lemonade stand), behind the chest box, and the last one is a no-brainer ( Piers was right in his comments).

Story line and music was great but no new tricks to excite the senses. No element of surprises, unlike those in the audition and the quarter-final.

[lye54]

Once you have seen one 'magic' act you have seen them all. The key is in the presentation and showmanship. We are here to be entertained, not necessarily being duped as we all know that they is no magic.

David Copperfield was such a success because he was a great entertainer and story teller.

[Soccer1Lucas]

Ok whoever posted this video you may want to check this out. At 5:46 right when the girl and the guy make the switch you show, as the girl walks toward the box that drew is supposed to be in i think is when he leaves the red one. if you watch two girls both walk walk towards drew and are placed so that he could crawl out in their shadows. this is just my theory I don't really understand yours. No offense man just telling you.

[williamlitzler]

Drew Thomas is going to keep making millions off his talent while bloggers sit in empty dark rooms throwing droopy darts at him.

[enigmamagic]

does this make you proud? It should you are now king of the smart people ... you figured out entertainment!

[drusszan]

Dude why do you got to ruin it for everyone. So what its magic. and you cant explain every thing.

[technoway]

is presented as an "illusion!" You're ruining some people's astonishment. Raining on other people's parades isn't a good idea. I'm sure you're not a bad person, but please think of the effect you have on magicians and audiences. Videos are easy to dissect, it's much harder for many people to understand this when they see it once. I'm sure you are proud that you figured it out, but please be cool about it. Discretion is the better part of valor.

[kannprice]

Does "how" matter so much? You'd think people believe we're all better off without magic, fantasy, and wonder. The real BAD magic is the bait-and-switch tricks politicians pull every day.

[sloofuss]

So you figured it out,WHOOPEE you little shit! Why ruin the fun.Magic is about fun & imagination.Creating smiles for people. Not exposing it,I'm coming after you CRAP!

[Bromil]

i love the way they sad it had never been done on the AGT stage before. go to season one and check out Nathan Burton. i guess peirs and hoff forgot

[blacklablboardr]

oh yeah the girls face behind the judges "pretty much gave it away" that he came from the dark hallway. her face ruined the whole trick maybe the camera man should have not got her in frame, or maybe drew thomas should kick your ass for being such an asshole.

[ownfullnessness]

its drew thomas not david

[xxxoutlet]

his trick still sucked no matter what his name is

[christiandelpech]

why you have to be a fucking asshole, maybe cos you are jealous dick that you are a looser and you can't do it. And the guy that posted this trick it's a complete prick, why would you give away a fantastic trick like that, what for? you have no credit for doing it at all.

[buffalobleu]

wow ha i just noticed that ... ill fix it thanks ...haha typo

[simbaone]

You worked out how this trick was pulled off (not very hard at all - although as someone has said already, he never got into the red tool box... that was merely there to block the audience's view as he made his way through the oil drums surrounding the box) but how did he pull off his initial act at the audition stage huh?!?

Admittedly, this was a pretty basic technique but the whole story behind the act made the trick different. I liked it a lot. Can't wait to see what he does in the semi's!!

[tamspromises]

Do you know where I can find the initial act. I missed it and I would really like to see it.

[anagnostopoulos19]

I agree with ejane4 why do you have to be such a douche and ruin the tricks? and with the red box portion of the trick the way you explained it suggested that the audience couldnt see it from all different angles, so when you said panning camera you were wrong. suck it. word.

[xxxoutlet]

if your gonna do magic make it appear to be real. I just saw a jr. high school group do something much better.

[nitinnitin1212]

that was good man

[knirmalakrishna]

he actually never gets into the red box. He slips to the backstage soon after he enters the wooden cart. The red box is only there to block the audience's view

[ejane4]

i love magic acts ... no thanks to you for disclosing the secrets. sorry, but the child in me longs to be amazed.

nonetheless, this was an excellent OUT of this "trick."

I don't know whether to say thank you or let me be a kid again, and no thanks.
