3 of 50 Greatest Magic Tricks - Metamorphosis

[sureshgurung20b]

Trick revealed: the black box lid has a middle part that is not made of solid but of black cloth that can be used to enter and exit of the box. The delayed timing she used to lift the veil, when she got on top of the box, she doesn't place her feet in that middle part are all well executed...

[Steveman27]

regardles of what anyone says or thinks, even though that woman Donna McPhail commented about that woman's legs, that woman Donna McPhail, Jenny Eclair, and all other women on this planet are supposed to sexually prefer men over women each and every single time and all women on this planet are also supposed to want casual foreplay and sex with men just as frequently, immediately, and casually as vice versa.

and i hope Donna McPhail and Jenny Eclair read this and realize that I'm right.

[freshlineproductions]

two words: TRAP DOORS

[ThePantyDroper]

If you pause at 1:36 and you look at the lid you can see how the middle of the lid pops open whether it's locked or not. Very cool trick but easy to figure out

[LoneEllimist]

Where are the top 2? o_o

[FromRussiaWithLuv007]

Let me guess. A twin of course. A twin in a different outfit is already in the box. And the one in the black dress simply hides behind the box.

[eplays]

@FromRussiaWithLuv007 That's a wrong guess. Many magicians have done this illusion but The Pendragons were famous among audiences and fellow magicians alike for their very legitimate speed.

[cloudstrife1288]

stage magic is sooooo lame

[theone225]

David Copperfield's flying is 100 times better

[Sl1z3r]

@theone225 his trick sucks, you clearly see the wires and the "circles" if you look with much attention you will see that the "circles" don't even pass through the wires ...

[theone225]

@Sl1z3r No wires can be seen. And yes, the rings do not pass, but this can only be noticed under close inspection.

[Sl1z3r]

@theone225 the wires can be seen, if you look close you can see that there are moments that the wires shine, it's really hard to see because of the stage's background

[theone225]

@Sl1z3r I know which part you mean, but that's just the background objects shining. Believe me, because you see the shine, then he carries on flying, but the shine doesn't follow his path. watch it

[Sl1z3r]

@theone225 anyway, it doesn't matter if it shines or not, it matters it's a cheap trick just like this one here, you can't see what's under the box or behind it ; /

[theone225]

@Sl1z3r It's all about wonder and surprise. When the world watched Copperfield fly, we were amazed! I was a child and I believed it for a long time! Funny, I believed David Copperfield could fly, but I thought that Michael Jackson's dancing was an illusion. He's another hero of this world who brought wonder an amazement to the world.

[meloanthony661]

we dont see the bottom of the bag. who the hell these magicians think thier fooling a bunch of first graders, i like the entertainment but come on man were not stupid!

[thompson8305]

@meloanthony661 it's not about thinking it's real magic or whatever. it's the ability to pull off an illusion smoothly so some poeple may get confused. like a cool card trick or opening a beer bottle with your girlfriends nipples or something. everybody tried it but only a certain few can pull it.

[djsubliminalreeve]

this is such an easy trick just needs perfect timing. if you cant work it out here's three clues

1. look at the top of the box and why is he standing with legs far apart?

2.the bag has a hole in the bottom

3.the girl has clothes under which easily reveal

[dixonhpboosh]

There are only 44

[HeavensVibe]

can someone point me to #2 and #1? cant seem to find it...

[mongolenpup]

could that bitch be more muscular? fuck off muscular unnatural smiling bitch

[MasterOctagon]

this is number 3?

[Howiem000]

1:04 You can see a small part of him behind the right side of the woman. (her right)

[affsfasaffas]

fail trick lol at 1:05 u can see box closing :p

[KrnShadow65]

@affsfasaffas wow nice catch.

[brodersami]

How is this the third greatest trick? It's pretty easy to figure out how this is possible...

[wallycube]

i know how they did it.. really easy

[sandersjustin64]

0:45 they fucked??

[merclissa]

@sandersjustin64 Thats what i was gonna say! She definatley said that XDXD

She's calling her a whore basically :O

[artman201]

@sandersjustin64 plucked

[Freudable]

@sandersjustin64 they plot...

[DeadJ0ker27]

i hate how the other magicians insincerley pretend to be so completely amazed. even my dumbass has been able to figure out certain parts of certain tricks.

[nerdfire221]

the weird thing is that they are very happy the whole time. I wont be happy iff i was tiesd in a bag and shoved in a box.

[sandv1ch]

that first woman at the beginning wears too much clothes. nuff said.

[alaza]

@sandv1ch

its the same girl that gets out of the box

[redsoxrok34]

@sandv1ch They're the same woman. She just changed outfits. It's part of the trick

[nuke1989]

@ :24 when the girls about to tie the end, he already drop his hand in side. and look at when she toss it back its just bends >.>

[Patriotsfan346]

easy the white leotard is under the black one the bag and the chest have a cut out in the back when she lifts the curtain he comes out the back she jumps he grabs it so it doesn't fall down he appears as he is getting down and opening the chest she rips off the leotard and comes out boom solved

[shkotay]

That chick is SMOKING HOT even with the 80s do. Omfg. That and I swear the back of the box had a panel they went in and out and a spare red bag tied up. Wish we coulda seen her change lol.

[jjooeegg1]

THe Pendragons ...............we use to party like its 1999 . Jonathan loved cocaine and steroids , the wife loved the cola also and actually did steroids long before roger clemens wife thought of it;

[rockfan246]

@ 00:21 Tina Turner is tying the string.

[funnygirl491]

pause at 1:05 and look at the lid in betwen his leg's

[21ricky666]

@funnygirl491 good eye.

[funnygirl491]

@21ricky666 its a time of the year to say thanks

[tadeuk2k]

@funnygirl491

good fucking eye

[troglodyto]

@funnygirl491 what's there to see i don't get it lol.

[MrClace0332]

@troglodyto the box lid...

[troglodyto]

@MrClace0332 ahh! and is seeing the lid a mistake on their part? like does it ruin the trick? i might just be slow. :(

[94spexx]

it is simple the red bag has no bottom and the center panel on the box opens as she slows pulling up the cloth he is getting out. the real trick is the box has a false bottom for easier movement. as he jumps off the box the girl is inside stripping the black and sets the white dress up then puts the bag over head. and a scarf is so easy to slip

[TheAndiePerson]

He shoulda swallowed the sword before taking her out, that would've put it at number 1.

[YoungTalent98]

I want to learn how they do that trick!

[majesticmaniac]

The fact that this beautiful husband and wife couple went on to assault each other, and the husband fired a gun at her and then served about a yr in jail makes it all the more amazing

[picc01]

Fake panel, Twin models, and Velcro on the end of a bag....what fun.

[mattysillyer]

Wheres no. 1?

[realeques]

Hahaha you see the box gettin closed at 1:06 in the middle

[WahNahNah123]

2 people preformed this at Ocean City Md and did it just as fast.

[jdslutchoosen]

Where is number 1 of 50 Greatest Magic Tricks??? Which is?

[cocopops149]

@jdslutchoosen David copperfield getting saw'n in half

[bobojeff123]

TWINS!

[xiJaredx]

they have a traped door

[djsubliminalreeve]

on top of the box there is a trap door the lady falls into it after the guy comes out and switch places. she has a all in one leotard with a smaller one under which she slips off. heres the best bit the bag has a rope on top but a hole in the bottom which they do not reveal cause the bag allways stays in the box.

simple but affective

[jordanrakei]

@djsubliminalreeve Thanks for ruining it. I prefer to just watch in awe

[soocool78]

@djsubliminalreeve yea except that the white leotard crosses over the skin the black leotard never covers up

[youmaycallmequeen]

You can see the door in the middle of the box close at 1:06. It WOULD be magic if you couldn't *sigh*

[leandrolucy1]

Face there is something on the back I already saw this trick revialed

[annythepip]

this is much better then number 2.

[amrasmord]

Man that chick is hot!

[jarand4]

god dont give people jobs now a days, so thats the problem....

[xiocx1]

AwEsOmE

[JackNational95]

you see David Blaine was doing "magic" way before Criss Angel ever started so basically Criss stole Davids acts for example Levitating

[mysterymediacorp]

Criss Angel has actually been doing magic before Blaine. I know someone who went to highschool with David and they said he wasn't known for magic at the time where as Criss first big trick was levitating his mother - at age 12 or 13...I've seen the pictures & documentary. Eihter way both are good

[DanRSL]

@JackNational95

Yea, but the important thing is that Criss Angel isn't a douche.  I'd much rather watch Angel doing stolen tricks than look at Blaine.

[codyabcd]

this is not easy man , if your have try this before , you will know 1-3 second is not possible to done

[GIossary]

this is so easy

[attestedplum]

What is the significance of the sword?

[JPhish]

@attestedplum

misdirection.

[blyaxamuxin]

Look @ my subtrunk perform. Faster than pendragons , and better.

[blyaxamuxin]

Hahaha , I see how lady closed top dor on trunk 1:06 look @ that :0)

[susp1]

@blyaxamuxin...awsome eyes dude! I totally missed that until you mentioned it.  Thanks man, appreciate it!

[vikanug]

she had black on in the start of the vid and thn white at the end? so she put him in the box and in the bag, then they switched and now shes in the box and the bag in a fraction of a second and she had time to change her stuff. That or they have a watch that stops time. been talking to Dock brown or its her twin sister and the other bitch is behind the box.

[n2motocross]

At 0:45 - 0:48.. Did that woman say what I thought she said? " Because they F***ed."

[chezzymacaroni]

@n2motocross they said plucked...she got her legs plucked

[wontonga]

This guy, Jonathan Pendragon ( Real name Claude Yarborough) WENT TO JAIL APRIL13 2010 ON for assaulting his wife (two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon!)

He was arrested at gunpoint in San Luis Obispo, California, on charges of assaulting his wife and performing partner, Charlotte, featured in this video clip with a deadly weapon, spousal abuse, terrorist threats and firing a weapon in an inhabited dwelling.

He liked Charlotte's body SOOOO much that he would beat on it!

[152089pat]

U guys act all shock that she was able to change so quick! Come on all women can do that like superman, they just like to keep men waiting!!! LoL but nice act!!!!! Love it

[VladutzRaikiri]

twins trick....u need twins

[TheWrongLefty]

That woman is frickn' scary...

[pweed88]

Cris Angel can suck my penis.

[0129948079]

omg she walk barefoot all the time i saw it live jonathan love to take off her shoes and let her walk barefoot ,,,,poor lady ,,,in the show she walk barefoot for 7 hours her feet is very dirty i have pic if any one want to see,,,,i know her personality

[ballpython23]

criss angel has a pretty good version i think

[rusty1491]

It would have been better if she emerged naked.

[broadwayfan98]

@rusty1491 perv

[rusty1491]

@broadwayfan98 When you call someone a demeaning you are unconsciously projecting what you are at that very moment.

[Mainstream06]

@rusty1491

She did "barely".

[davide1412]

the first girl have a black custome and the second hava a white custom....why

[mastermckay13]

they said right in the video, as part of the illusion, she changed outfits

[stranraer9]

could never concentrate on their magic , she was way too hot !

[thegreatluigi]

Exactly

[charteredstreets]

However it's done this is the best version of this trick I've seen definitely

[dojo999]

It's the damn woman. Of course I'll be surprised that they've changed anything, I was looking at the woman because she's so freaking hot.

What? You disappeared and reapeared? I didn't even know you were doing magic over there. Have you seen how hot this chick is?

[Hemitris]

love this trick, quite easy to see through if you have some background in magic

[InkTune]

think the bag is open at the bottom and the back sides of the crate.

in the time in which he jumps down, the woman has enough time to move in a bag.

or not ; )

[openminded1313]

@InkTune No, there is not enough time for her to do that. She does not have enough time to even fall straight down before the cloth is removed. There is another angle to this.

[Taojac]

also at 0:57 you can see the white leotard under the black one on her hip. the white leotard is designed to fit under the black one. the black one is a quick release one prob Velcro or something which she whips off in the sack.

[Taojac]

you can clearly see that she closes the lid incorrectly at 1:05 a mistake i bet they kick themselves for every time they watch this clip. this IS how it is done i do magic and i know how this is done. ITS NOT THE SHADOW OF HIS ARM HIS ARMS ARE CROSSED IN FRONT OF HIM AND HIS SHADOW IS ON THE BACK WALL. Charlotte just closed the lid wrong. everybody knows.

[TheFatMan202]

I WANT TO MAKE SWEET MAN LOVE TO HIM!

[Decualquiervideo1]

them the trick went wrong at the minute 1:5 we see that the lady lifts the lid of the box

[ObliviuxProductions]

@Decualquiervideo1

That's his shadow...

of his arm.

[FREEDEJATAYLOR]

ha!

[telategmon]

genjutsu? hahah

[Busher50]

the top 3 greatest magic tricks out of 50 are the easiest to figure out

[casinshade]

look at the body on that woman, damn

[MDMart]

This must be an old recording thingie. Criss Angel now has record for the fastest metamorphosis. Less than a second, and with fire instead of a cloth

[RQGzlez]

I've watched carefully Criss' version and he takes almost 4 seconds since the girl is completely covered till Criss appears. I love Criss' performance, but about time record you're definitively wrong.

[MDMart]

?? I'm talking about the fire version, that Criss did. You know; Girl on top of the box, BOOM FIRE, Criss on top of the box

[finnfisu]

criis angel sucks so bad

[Mike27MB]

@finnfisu You spelt Criss wrong, and jealous n00b

[finnfisu]

@Mike27MB obv a mistake.

[Rayrockny]

@finnfisu David cooperfield is better

[alaza]

@Rayrockny

this trick is why they are famous, they mostly work on improving the methods of illusions. david copperfeild works on the theatrics of magic and also does other magic. but i think the pendragons do the most beautiful "artists dream" ever. so they both have their merits and aer in slighlty diffrent feilds :)

[Rayrockny]

@alaza yeah I guest. It's all the same to me though, great illusions ;)

[alaza]

@finnfisu

only since he sold out, which was pretty quick

[Eclipz22]

Keep your focus on the center section of the box at 1:05. For a split second you can  see it open and quickly close.

[MDMart]

Nope, not how the trick works. The "trick" door's in the back, obviously. And the sack is buttomless (sometimes with a zip in it)

[jangartack]

You are fuckin* right Eclipz... =)

[TriAmphontsApple]

wow Eclipz your right :) , i think you cracked the case :)_ now find out how she changed her leotard

[bluenotejazz]

There is no trap door on the back, other wise the audience would see people obviously rolling in and out, plus there is no time to do that, nor are there twins

Look at the lid of the trunk - Its divided into three sections. No one ever stands on the 'middle' section because thats the door that swings in and out. She carefully puts her feet on the 2 'dividers' raises sheet halfway, he pops out and crouches behind, he stands & she falls through simultaneously. Precision timing speed and practice

[MultiHalohalo]

twins two red bAGS in box 1 with ather girl in it 1st girl crouches

[andyruking]

nope

the red sack has no btm so he/she isnt actually in a sack

[cyhayward]

yea the change in suit doesn't help dissuade my thoughts of a twin

[Oyo321]

Donna McPhail

[bloacatera]

i was looking at her legs ...

[oldtintoys]

...what trick? i was too busy watching her legs!

[biglmac]

That's the trick.

[lolgepwnt]

The trunk has a panel on the far side. Perhaps a trap door too. The sack isn't really a sack.

She steps up directly onto feet markers. She takes her time while he gets ready.

He has a wider stance when the curtain falls, so I think slips out between his legs, though the panel and into the sack.

Her white costume is folded at her stomach.

[themagicskateboarder]

easy explanation for this one

[imreadydoctor]

rather than the top, I believe it to be in the back of the trunk, the spot that the face hides from the audience. One simply goes behind the trunk, crouches down and rolls in or out.

[tylergenis]

1:08 it looks like his legs arent even part of him

[tubesock10]

ya ur right thats weird

[anthonyxjames98page2]

i know this trick because ive done it before

[jjIQ135]

but that wasnt in 2007 that was in like 1980-90

[Fanik1977]

There was this one magic show I saw a few years ago I think on comedy central or something. Anyway I forget who the magician was but he pulled up an assistant from the audience, a woman, dressed in plain clothes, jeans and long sleeved shirt. The Trick ended with her in lingerie, embarresed running up the ramp. Thought that was pretty hot. I wonder if that's on here? If it's not on YouTube, than it wasn't staged or planned and she probably ended up suing the guy.

[RobertWeekes]

I saw them do a show once! I think it was at Disneyland or Universal Studios, they did a trick where he pierced a freakin spike through her in mid-air and spun her around on the spike, it was unbelievable. I bet its in the top 50 somewhere...

[redsoxrok34]

Doing this trick is not hard; I did it for a talent show once with my then-girlfriend. It's a simple trick that requires no special skill, just practice. What's hard is doing it in 2 seconds flat. Truly remarkable. But then, that's why they're professional magicians.

BTW, I won't post it here so as not to ruin it, but if anyone doesn't know how it's done and wants to, send me an email and I'll explain it.

[lianghaochen]

hm..they bought a lot of time...

[Durango516]

1:05 you see the lid close

[SoundcoreRecords]

HAAAA!!! pause at 1:05!!! you can see her close the flap on top of the box!!

[GKid139]

I dont see it

[andrikoo]

epic

[rrthedoctor]

im sure there're twin girls

[gorillabenjaz]

you see that he never shows the box to see that it was empty, is because it has a hole in it

[gorillabenjaz]

i got it! there are two women, one is already on the box and the other one hide behind the box and in the box there was a hole, so houdini (i think he is), rapidilly goes up to the box

[ShitBallsBanana]

so gorilla your basically saying that there was the girl outside the box and another girl inside the box already in the bag...

[rudeawakeningxxx]

she has a leotard under her leotard

[u2lezer]

10. suck a cock

[zsyrinx]

I liked the ol' Criss Angel's version (pre-Mindfreak, late 90's) better. This one's fast, but it doesn't feel like there's much showmanship in it.

[CrowHN]

I didn't saw shit, besides his own shadow on top of the box...

[rudeawakeningxxx]

you didn't "saw"?

[wizardbliz]

You can see the box under the man closing in 1:05-1:06

[OneEyedDeacon]

Yeah seriously. How is this number 3?

[harsha8976]

there is no order its just one of the 50 magic tricks..

[judaspriestrock]

No you can't. You might be thinking of the sword. But i didn't see anything.

[ShitBallsBanana]

the box wasent "closing" it was ALREADY closed

[mikez55]

in the start the thing she was waring was black and then it turns white....

[Asperuaca]

she has such a beautiful body! a work or muscular and tone art!

[zibenszellis666]

This trick is very eeasy

[Burnokkk]

I have bigger tits than her. :x

[yoman258]

Good call, tell us.. Oh that's right you don't know how. Moron.

[Rafterman123]

legs... legs?...... Just legs...

[s3xypoobum]

gimmicked box, opens at the back, red bag is opened at the bottom,

BUT OMG THE LEGGGS. quick ass leotard change too, brilliant

[lilzbilz]

Everyone knows that its a trick! You don't all have to prove it. Just enjoy it!

[xorawwrr]

that was QUITE brilliant :O
