  • Why do I feel like an idiot after seeing the solution?

  • That was so obvious even before the reveal.

  • Oh i thought the secret was he used the potato camera he used

  • So, we watch this dude make a video about himself making a video, and in the video, he's making a video while making a video.

  • OMG SO IT WAZNT MAGIKKK :(

  • Jerk-tography is what this is.

  • What the hell is steve jobs doing here???

  • notice how he doesnt go all the way over the top of the cork? Hes obviously using fishing line

  • wait but how is it the tripod is sticking to the wall like that at the end?

  • @nicbor1 Did you watch the end? He is lying down. He's not on a wall.

  • on 0:30 you can see a string attatched!!

  • @ThejvideoPRO ow wait they say ts fake :D

  • hes in the illuminati look at his hands @ 0:25 triangle

  • the power of human fate

  • and there goes my last bit of faith on magic =(

  • i have loong hair .... fuck

  • You have to be bald to do this magic trick ... ;P

  • LOL, nice.

  • hehehe

  • looooooooool

    your litle ehhh?

    

  • You bastards

  • what do stupid camera tricks have to do with psychology or anything?

  • @o0hya Because people will automatically assume that something is upright, we have a few set assumptions and when these are taken from us our minds get confused. Camera tricks play to these frames in our minds.

  • if he had hair you could tell

  • smh...damn camera tricks

  • damn this is incredible!

  • lmfao..... brillliant

    

  • thumbs up if you laughed your ass off when he got up at the end!

  • DAM, i thought it would be all confusing and stuff but no! bit of wire and some sellotape

  • I thought he was levitating his head @@

  • I could have SWORN I saw him move his hand all the way in front of the cork, but looking at it now I realize he didn't. He didn't need to, because most people would assume that if it's hanging from a string it would be above, so they look to see if he moves his hand over it, which he did. Well, from our perspective anyway. :P

  • He's lucky he's bald, or else we'd all know the trick.

  • I think the popcan in the sock was so he had something to keep his head on, so it didn't seem like he was lying down. Or it was just to be funny.

    Or I'm high

  • ha fake

  • Lol you're welcome Quirkology for half of the comments on your video.

  • The trick was pretty good, the reveal was awesome.

  • i feel stupid

  • hahahaha

  • i feel bad for the young children who watch this video without the reveal and try to do it themselves

  • OMG HES WALKING ON WALLS

  • @pokejus1 IM WALKING ON WAAAAAAALAAAAAAAALS WOWOWOOOW(im walking on sunshine)

  • Thumbs Up For The Big Hairless Head =))

  • Hahahahahahaha!! He's Lying Down Making A Video......

  • the popcan was behind his head because if he were to lean his head all the way back it would be noticable hes on the ground, but with a popcan holding his head up it looked normal (especially with the black background blending in.

  • no es el mismo video el movimiento de manos no es igual al video del truco

  • Thort so

  • how the hell did that happen wow

  • hold down '9' when the video is playng LMAO some camera lovin'!

  • Link to share is wrong, please change it.

  • awesomeeeee!!!

  • It looks like your head is floating :D xD

  • to bad this wont work in front of a live audience

  • After I Do It, I Go Masturb.....

  • This guy is just awesome.

  • this man is a genius

  • Why the hell did he put a can in a sock???

  • @Munnmaista

    He rests his head on it :P

  • if he had hair itwould be obvious

  • 6 dislike = 6 ppl dont know how spiderman was filmed

  • first you need a bad quality hd camera LOL

  • Comment removed

  • @mrtjb9123 to keep his head propped up...

  • @mrtjb9123 to troll the viewer of course haha

  • @mrtjb9123 To keep his head from leaning back.

  • @mrtjb9123 so that it doesnt look like he's leaning on the floor

  • @mrtjb9123 He is resting his head on it so that it is elevated and he looks like he is upright. When you really lay all the way down your head goes back and your face kinda stretches to the sides.. which would be a giveaway.

  • @mrtjb9123 it is what he is resting his head on.

  • @mrtjb9123

    so he can put his head on it so it looks like he is completly lying on the ground

  • @mrtjb9123

    I think it weighs down the cork...

  • @copmon O_O if the scok is weighing down the cork...then what's weighing down gravity?

  • @mrtjb9123 to ballance his head on the ground for video.

  • @mrtjb9123 So that his head will look like he's standing upright. Sort of like a pillow :)

  • @mrtjb9123 it what its hung by from the floor

  • @mrtjb9123 its for head

  • @mrtjb9123 You got 89 thumbs up for that question? Been 7 months but if you haven't gotten a reply I've got one for you.

    It's to rest his head on, it allowed him to have his head raised from the floor which helped simulate the illusion that he was upright not laying down.

  • @EbonOcelot half the comments on this vid are replys to that comment bro

  • @mrtjb9123 I guess you get alot of spam then don't you?

    XD sorry bout that bro

  • @EbonOcelot lol yeahh

  • @mrtjb9123 Lol here's some more replies.

  • @mrtjb9123 he put it on his head , so it also works for people with hair.

  • @mrtjb9123 to keep his head from laying down

  • @mrtjb9123 when he gets thristy

  • @mrtjb9123 the sock is his small "pillow" to prevent his head from looking flat like he was lying down

  • @mrtjb9123 it's function is to hold his head

  • @mrtjb9123 to keep the head! LOL!

  • @mrtjb9123 so it gives the illusion that you're looking forward. your head angling is different when your laying down then standing up. Try it sometime.

  • @mrtjb9123 That's what he's resting his head on

  • @mrtjb9123 , he lay on it as a pillow... wrapped in on socks to avoid injury... so the black background will not be mixed with blood red.

  • @mrtjb9123 Keep his head up, if he was resting his head on the ground it would have been tilted back

  • @mrtjb9123 as a pillow :D

  • @mrtjb9123 it took me awhile to figure this out, but the point of the soda can in the black sock is it be used as a head rest, and something to keep your head from laying completly flat. at 1:01 through 1:10 you can see him laying his head on it

  • Really cool levitation illusion idea.

    More cool illusions and levitations you can find on my channel. Please look on them.

  • what does hair have to do w/ anything?

  • @wbennr gravity. You know, the thing that makes things fall downwards towards an object with greater mass.

  • dude your fucken head is flloating

  • black man in the back holding the cork on a string. why does he have a black background for this one.

  • LMFAO

  • Like the majority of your viewers didn't already know that ¬.¬

  • u bald twat i had to go and get a cork

  • HAHAH love it

  • LoL

  • knew it)

  • Clever =D

  • y did he need the can in a sock?

  • Comment removed

  • that is sooo funny :D You´re a very creative person

  • ZE MILK ZE MILK ZE TABLE YES ZE TABLE ... no duct TAPE!!

  • y'know if psychologists were after our profits, riches, and cornholes they could get them. with EASE.

  • The can of pop in the sock?

    This guy's stuff reminds me of Derren Brown, but a different style altogether.

  • @KarstenJohansson to rest his head on

  • Duh of course. Thanks cocopops149. After you said that, I looked back at the vid and see it there. I guess its to keep his head in a natural looking position.

  • LOL

  • nice !

  • I could almost see a glimpse of the thread at 0:25 , but awesome anyways! 5/5

  • LMAO XD that was great, i never would have thought of that!

  • XDD good one

  • LOL!!!

  • bastard.

  • If your not bald you would have to wear a hat or something, lol.

  • bastard

  • lol hah

  • good one. 5/5 trick.

  • i agree with heffa lump

  • black on black. so simple. brilliant.

  • so it only work for ppl without hair?

  • no, it's so his head is in the correct position... hair is irrelevant.

  • if you got hair, it would be falling back^^

  • true true

  • @chungzheng or you can use a lot of hairspray

  • @chungzheng use hair wax

  • @chungzheng Or with cap!

  • i noticed by the way he was moving his head

  • YEAH U DID NOTICED!

    lier!!

  • Cool!

    But why did they need to put the can in the sock?

  • if you look when they revel how the trick is done, there's this black object behind his head so, im guessing thats why :P

  • thats what i've been wondering

  • very very funny

  • simple and elegant...

  • wow i need to make a video like this XD

  • Figured, he didn't go from the front so I thought he had a string behind and in front of him, I was kind of right, except he was on the ground and it was only in front of him.

  • at the start it looks like he has no body

  • AHAHAHAHA

  • awesome!!!

  • That is really cool, good work.

    5/5

  • unfortunately, this trick only work best with people who has short hair... ^^

  • lol

  • Wats The Sock+Can? For?

  • he lays his head on it to keep steady

  • so his head is not too straight with the floor, or else you can actually see him lying down...

    imagine holding your head floating away from the floor with your neck muscle... it is really painful... - -''' try...

  • lol lying down oon the floor

  • lol..thts kool

  • i dont think it was the explanation cuzz he puts his hand behind it and in front of it on all sides, just rewind n ull see, but he was really good vids

  • ???????

  • lol, i thought so too, srry

  • his hand is never directly in front of it though.

  • i know its hard 2 explain so nvm, lol

  • It's not hard. He puts his hand behind. Makes sense, because theres nothing underneath it. He never puts it in front directly because that's where the string is. He can easily put it on all other sides, cuz theres nothing there.

  • That was really clever. =)

  • this man is my new idol!

  • good one i never noticed thatt before

  • what is the can for

  • to hold up the back of his head.

  • hhahahahahha nice 1

  • I KNEW HE WAS ON THE FLOOOR!!!!!!!!

  • i thought he was standing up weird!

  • lol this guy is funny

  • i was wondering why his neck looked kind of stiff before the reveal.

  • jakjakjakjakjakj funny

  • I would have never thought of that! XD

  • LOL that really was the power of human mind

  • This guy is a fucking genius!

  • so....., even if he was....???

  • lol i knew what he did the first time i saw this.

  • Damn I gotta shave my head

  • 'just goes to show the power of the human mind'
