illusion Magic Act - America's got talent - Kevin James

[Biscuitchris7again]

For those who would like to know how it is done, google "Johnny Eck." It will ruin the illusion but you will know how it is really done without the 20 people here giving you erroneous information. There are no contortionists, there are no wires, there are no secret rooms or trap doors. Just a good old fashion freak show.

Kevin James uses the same principle but with different execution.

Ask yourself, who's 'apparently' missing from the second half of the act that was present during the first.

[Clodknock]

from this video, I'm not convinced that the black guy is real.

[Biscuitchris7again]

@Clodknock - The black guy is very real.

[tanman999]

its called sacral agenesis. search for it on youtube

[BLTwithCHEESE]

@Vapor419 are u just telling us how u THINK its done? Or r u telling us how u know its done for a fact?

[gymnastgirl52702]

I mean, I get how he cut him in half (something with the table) But then both of the halves MOVED!?! I don't know how he did it. BRAVO KEVIN JAMES!!! :)

[iliapopovich]

The black person up is suffering from-Sacral Agenesis(see videos on you tube) and when he is being assembled its already another person.this is the reason why his face is covered.It's so simple and horrify....

[gray3987szgt]

Ohh shitt He jst Cut him in half .... Nd not lik in the old Fashion way (the box)!!!!

[Snampired]

This should be on Penn & Teller - Fool us!

[Biscuitchris7again]

@Snampired - They know Kevin.

[szasz85b]

ITS MAGIC 4 REAL !

[transilvanianwarrior]

What kind of sorcery is this?!  o_O

[InigoMontoya1337]

Aliens...

[purspice]

Too cut away shots.

[hiaslil]

holy shit. this is amazing

[Menna373]

No0o0o0o Commmment :(

[Team6SiX62009]

lol for one the vest is not that long, and i dont care how much those people can bend there is no room left for legs to be hidden under that coat... it's psysically impossible. Judging the length of the arms there is literally no pelvic region to the torso..thats creepy..I'd like to know how they really did it.

[TacTownUce253]

I did that one time to my dogg. R.I.P. Buster hahahahaha jkjkjk awsome trick goon

[MrLaxdude89]

@TacTownUce253 oh, Yeah I thought you were serious :P

[Vapor419]

Such an easy trick. He cuts the guy in half, who's legs are tucked into his/her chest (very flexible) Kevin "commands" the robotic, hollow legs to move (not hard, nurse who was no where in sight could have been controlling that) he then blocks the audience from seeing the surgery so that the man/woman can tuck his or her legs into the robotic, hollow ones. What's so amazing? :)

[hiaslil]

@Vapor419 actually. unless hes got some medical disfunction it would be impossible for a man that size to be able to do that. and even then i dont think he would. the guys hips would have had to have been tucked in

[Lullan23]

...I believe the short guy in the beginning was the upper body somehow. (just a gues.. >_> <_<)

[ThEViPeR169]

hace parecer como si el cuerpo siguiera partido hasta la cintura cuando en realidad esta con las piernas y cintura dobladas alguien q haya visto el truco del cuerpo partido de coperfield tiene que tener una idea a lo q me refiero luego viene la parte mas importante del truco q es cuando el mago se pone de frente en la parte de la cintura para ayudar supuestamente a girar el cuerpo para poder unirlo a la parte de

[SGrocker18]

@ThEViPeR169 hablo ingles?

[MrMdortiz]

The dude us criple.

[nazimazizi]

i think that the black dude is a robot , =='

[connordeekelly1998]

That was pretty awesome

[MsDiamondMuffin]

0:55

The woman appears out of no where.

1:00 the woman appears with legs, table dissappears.

[KatrinaDawesDowling]

This is the best magic trick I have ever seen

[abclairez123]

Did Kevin James audition for this show more than once?

[VHDFBFL]

super 8!!

[earlbutters]

The legs belong to a double who is bent over and hidden by the flap in the table. The top guy has the condition known as sacral agenesis. He was born without a lower body. However there is a TV edit also going on here too. At 1:01 they show the judges reaction then cut back to the legs on the table. Where did the table in the back go? My guess is they wheeled both off stage and came back with the double who got up and ran off stage. its not robotics .

[Rotco]

@earlbutters The show is LIVE!! - Come on dude.

[lpsos]

Man without lower body and robotic legs, simple as that

[forxplickx1]

that was so funny

[rohan64bit]

well two small ppl was there simple...bu great trick

[MultiStevetheman]

To everyone the black man is to different people. one person is the legs with his body in the white table and the body of the black man is out of a man with his knees to his chest or a man who was born with no lower half of his body

[fyberwow]

he is workin with the devil ..

trust me .

[KingDennisJensen]

Robotic legs and the top is an actual person. I've seen documentaries where the bottom half is completley amputated, look it up its quite bizzare. (This is just a theory however)

[ELVISiWC]

it's robotic ._.

[skinny3516]

wooooooooooooow

[18Colorlover]

Kevin, you rock!!!!! I hope you found the female one.... xoxo Anna...

[bliffbliff]

THER ARE 2 DWARS ONE FOR LEGS AND ONE FOR THE BODY DID YOU NOTICE WHEN HE WAS ON THE TABLE HE WAS ALOT FATTER THAN WHEN HE WAS WALKING? THATS BECAUSE THERE IS A DWARF CROUCHIN IN THERE

[jesper4868]

Lol my friend watched this and as always he is coming with his negative comments like "Idiots, there is a mirror behind it..." I was like WTF? Hes so naive fuck him.

[Amir4mir]

*coughs* jinns

[velev]

yes we all know its fake! of course it is! still amazing!!!

[allysheehan]

The man is a contortionist, he has his legs tucked up under the wide white jacket, so he's able to hide them and lift himself with his arms.

The legs that he's 'standing on' at the start - the ones that lift are robotic, easily done, it's just a simple 90 degree raise.

Once they bring the contortionist down to the front, the doctor, blocking the audience from view, helps the contortionist pull his legs out and they hide the false legs :)

[borntoplayxbox]

@allysheehan Can't say I would've figured that one out LOL

[OriginalJoseyWales]

@allysheehan no thats not what happened. he cut the guy in two and then stapled him back together again

[SiegReyu]

@allysheehan Or more likely, there is only a thin wire fram or something to that effect in the legs that he can fit his legs inside.

[floopsie666]

@allysheehan who fucking cares?

[Dr1337IV]

@allysheehan Oh yeah?...Then how do you explain the staples!!!

[HamodiiD]

If I cut my body in 2 pieces, u think he can fix that??

[tequierojavi]

WTF!

[oldschooldude2]

they used a double you guys, someone who lost their legs that looks just like the guy who has legs. its an editing trick. look it up. they cant do this in one shot without some type of green screen or special effects.

[NeverwillProductions]

Did he died?

[thirithus]

obviously the audience and the judges agreed to fake this. as someone already said there a white stripe at his pants in the beginning but there isn't in the end. they also cut several times to the judges and then going back to the man. his torso also grows at one point. magic is about being able to watch all the time and we don't get to do that here, so it's cut to look like that.

[Leksakshund]

HOW? HOW? HOW? Please, someone answer, I'm dying!

[EnFronGoteborg]

oh, and also the fact that the board they used when the lifted him down from the larger table "magically" disappears at 1:00, also happening as the camera is filming the jury.

[EnFronGoteborg]

the torso at 1:03 is about twice as "tall" as the torso at 1:01. Wich means, the torso "grew" under a period of two seconds while the camera was filming the jury. Magic indeed! It seems to me that the man is sitting with his legs tucked in under his shirt at 1:03, and then straightening up as he lies down. You can actually see his clothing, especially his shirt, folding suspiciously much when he gets laid down.

[simmenorlin]

DUMBLEDORE IS ALIVE!! And he's shaved!

[KarroJonna]

fy fan vad läskigt :S

[CCH0iZ]

HOW COULD HE DO THAT ? OMG

[TheFridaSthlm]

wtf?

[ChannelWithALongName]

OMFG what hapend

[JuliaDrewBieber]

I think it's two midgets, but i'm not sure.. That's just so.. CREEPY!

[isabelandreasson]

WHAT THA HELL IS HAPPENING?

[Lorenshyne]

Its clear that on the black man he cant use any tricks, thats just the way this man is. only upper body. The legs are one or two midgets. da cutting part is well produced. Yeah, i think i solved this trick, damn i ruined many peoples fantasy.

[mischanan93]

@Lorenshyne well that would make one fucking longarmed midget, that's for sure.

[bugmenotdumbtube]

At the risk of ruining a neat illusion, the youtube video that ends in v=ccF50ssJKVA might shed some light.

[helllajennifer]

its a dummy!

[Michael1Nine]

The solution is easy, you see what he did was

aklsdjfa;sklf jasdigidjsfld hdsaif adf

but you have to make sure to asdliccldieigs foifjdguugyshs and fasdoiuosdihgsd if you do that its actually quite simple

[Nadiix12]

I've seen people that only have the torso so I guess the black man was like that, and the "legs" were two midgets or something :)

[anime10lover]

im guessin the upper body was the lil man hes with

[pamme91]

My theory is that it was not one person, but two midgets.. if you notice, the legs look a bit weird. Thats just my opinion :)

[eoera]

@pamme91 I think your spot on!!

[LadiiLiikE]

omg, i think everyone who watches or watched this video keeps asking HOW THE FUCK he did it.. i just cant keep my mouth shut.. its just so fucking confusing!

[steadyaccess]

there was quite wide white stripe on legs at 0:13, but no stripe at the end....????

[lightcute109]

Its a puppet, If it was real, then where is the blood.

[signevent]

What's the purpose of that performance? It seems to be sarcastic, isn't it?

[signevent]

what's the purpose of that performance? It seems to be sarcastic, isn't it?

[linaandayoosh]

OMG!!! im so trying that on my brother...lmao jk no seriously

[Fishhyx3]

All midgets I tell you !

[sanstitle]

Kevin does a better version of that for his reg stage show...

[YOURsexDOCTOR]

i too think this guy is a midget or either he lost his legs... for me it's either that or magic really exists

[Triscuit1010]

Simple. leggless man on top. midget as the legs. chopped high enough to hide the midget and have something for the legless man to sit on

[thetigerwings]

ahhh!!!

[chabelo8868]

esto esta editado inmediatamente se ve que son dos personas diferentes ya que ni siquiera se parecen.

[myungjp]

the guy that was cut open probably was like a puppet being controlled like that, for part of it..

[fadeliss]

2 midgets one in the bottom , one in the top

notice he uses midgets in a lot of his performances

[mylegobricks]

what the?

[GreyStar01]

lol midgets.

[svrwthr]

This is editted by tv. Go look up the full video of this full performance not on this program. First they send the legs and cart off stage to the right which consists of a full body person bent over. They bring out a fake set of legs from that right side and lay it on the table behind the half body dude. After which they send the set off backstage to the left. Then they bring out the one that left stage right from the left after he ran over. Simply 2 people. Look at the ears since face is cover

[Kelo60]

@svrwthr

Well considering it's live when they do there act your statement is null.

[HybridRxn]

when the camera angle hanges at 0:55 you can tell that there are two different shots

[MrElculver2424]

@HybridRxn No there isn't. This was a LIVE act on America's Got Talent. I know how this is done. There is no camera cut, it was done live in front of hundreds of people.

[HybridRxn]

@MrElculver2424 ya i noticed that it was one shot a bit later, but i dunno how its done

[earlbutters]

@MrElculver2424 there is a edit here. Look at around the one min mark. Where did the table in the back go and we don't see the woman even carry the legs over. search for this same trick on youtube and you'll see they take eveything back stage for a few sec's. they definitely edited this video. Several seconds are missing.

[SantinoDude]

2 midgets

[VentBoy311]

*_*  WOW

[swaggerboyxw]

OH MY GOD HOW DID HE DO THAT OMG I GONNA FREAK OUT MY BESTIE NOW WITH THIS VID BYE!!!!

[tangsoododude420]

notice his arms never leave th table

[ungureanudoru]

how the fuck he did that ? 

[RobDyrdekv1]

@ungureanudoru I have a theory. The guy on top unfortunately lost his legs, therefore being on the top. The legs are a midget with his upper body inside the table. When they are on the lower platform, Kevin connects them to their original state. And to prove my theory right, the two guys skip away sideways, making sure they don't expose the back.

[sry2cute4u]

@ungureanudoru midgets

[121OneLove]

HS that was amazing!!!

[mikeanikepro]

WTF!? at first i thought the black guy was a machine but at the end he was a person

[chocolatebeags]

@mikeanikepro or a cyborg!

[MysteriousViper7]

does anyone know how this trick is done? im very curious

[medaknighthero2]

@MysteriousViper7 yes there are 2 midgests in there one in the legs and one in the stomach above

[drumArthur]

@medaknighthero2 no way, a midget wouldnt fit in those pants

[MysteriousViper7]

@medaknighthero2 thanx mate. It makes sense considering theres already a midget out there on the stage lol

[TheBFMVOWNS]

@MysteriousViper7 have u ever thought he had robes connected with his hands ? but its sooooooo simple so u cant see it

[iliketoloveman]

@MysteriousViper7 The black person is a midget who gets put on robotic stilts

[mnkpepper]

there's a part where the legs run out of the stage, also the nurse goes off stage to get the legs. it's not shown here.

But yeah, this guy is really cool, I like his style.

[discmatic2]

DAMN!!!!!

[Davido490]

how the?

[AltmanW]

MrSkinnypigeon: Well there isnt a real Harry Potter out there but still if a crippled guy is participating Im impressed how it ends upp with a guy moving like a noncrippled at the end.

[MagicTusky9]

MrSkinnypigeon... Kevin James is not a stupid magician. In fact ,he is not only an award winner at Hollywood's Magic Castle, but invents magic effects for entertainers all over the world including David Copperfield. Please enjoy the illusion instead of trying to give it away to others. We don't need another spoiler.

[akamatzu]

x 2

[MrSkinnypigeon]

When are these stupid so called magicians stop using the crippled people to fool us with their stupid tricks. Watch the black guy closely at the start of the trick, he doesn't even move an inch standing against the table. we only see his hands moving, I admit I didn't understand the whole of the trick but it's obvious the black guy is crippled.

[toomuchnatureforme]

@MrSkinnypigeon actually he is moving around, watch closer bub

[MrSkinnypigeon]

@toomuchnatureforme He's moving his arms only, I meant to say, why's he standing so still, he doesn't move his legs an inch. I really admire the rest of the trick how he manages to get him moving in the end, the secret is in fact is in the table brought by the magician's assistant on which the two body parts were joined. If not, then it could've been done on the floor as well.

[Davido490]

@MrSkinnypigeon watch the end few seconds, he is clearly moving his legs

[MrSkinnypigeon]

@toomuchnatureforme yes he is, but only the arms, doesn't move the legs an inch, did you actually see him walking to the stage? 

[iMpure1337]

rofl insane

[ZhukSpb]

wtf? how'd he do thaT ? =)

[kenna1211]

what

[kenna1211]

what the heck
