Marco Tempest - PhoneCam Magic #8 - Proximity

[rafaelhsouza]

nice trick!

[encart30]

after few times everything is clear;) good trick

[diamondolphi]

offscreen switches andsleight of hand- i get the concept, but geting the angle and everything right would be really difficult.

[bestofanimaniacs]

I think I know how this works, he squashed the cube into the floor and blew up the paper.

[The1whoknows11]

at 0.22 he throws the cube and theres a decal of a white cube already on there, the only thing that was still there was a stick from the cube!!!

[GERtrasher]

at 0:15 he changes the "ball" and at between 0:12 and 0:22 the cube was taped an the ground, easy cheasy trick

[MapleFanatic321]

He changed the paper circle with a ball..... when the view of the circle disappeared. it was originally in his left hand, but after he switched it, he took the ball with his right hand. Nice video though.

[tokyosan1]

by looking at the video 2 times I found out how everything works ;)

besides this Marco is a GREAT illusionist!

[theadamgaskins]

Epic!!!

[thenextpiece]

it looks like the optical illusion thing

[technoholic562]

u r good

[MbSwatGhost]

I know how he do that!! On 0:43 is cut.. ther are 2 movies!! one is long 0:43 other is 0:23  when is cut and when starts clip 2, THAT kube is stick on the flor!! Look i dont know english very well... but i hope i help u!!

[MastRapp]

W-0-W first i didnt notice that the cube becomes flat nC1

[Unwanaessien]

lol i saw through all the tricks on here. im yet to figure out the iphone one

[fredrand123]

MIND......BLOWN.

[cohoabcdef]

he changed the piece of paper for the ball look from 0:11 to 0:19 but i have no idea how he got the cube to stick to the floor Lol

[husoba]

it was interesting :D

[husoba]

it was interesting :D

[Halokiller789]

uh its called camera tricks look at :43

[SaddaDasa]

Very tricky... But entertaining to solve how he tricked, xD

[kedondongburuk]

hehehehe easy trick just playing whit the camera and the assistant to do this magic to replace the ori cube to a fake cube and then to make the road gone just use u hand to hide it and then pass to the assistant , the ball allready at the right hand to hide the real ball that what i see hehehehe.. sorry my english is not verry good

[Jiggsaw1000]

if i had to explane that video in one word it would be wow

[HaloHawk739]

you cut the tape but still cool!

[jcarlos100]

great trick!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KarlozTheBassist]

well thats ofcourse its not magic , i see on 0:17 how another people doing the rest and in 0:21 we know you threw away the original cube

[minetwsws]

I don't know how he makes the cube trick, but the ball trick is easy. He changes from the flat disk to the round ball after showing the disk.

[ernestukaslt]

nice videos!

[MrBlit2]

?????????????????

[Azermyth]

Pure awesomeness

[anthoybedollacruz14]

I know the trick in the first place he already had the tape on the floor but the cube is covering it perfectly and second time he shows it he throws away the cube and presto! There's you're flat cube! And the ball was simply a smooth move with his hands or sleeve.

[mrbunbun99]

man i cant believe wat i see

[xXMARTiANXx]

lol i was like wtf at the end hahaa good one!

[AlmaboyHungary]

How?

[pretty0eyes]

its so so easy

[raayno]

ooo i think i get how its done haha

thats one crazy illusion! he amazes me

[liiiimaaaoo27]

look at 0:13 yes simply a paper disc

in his left hand ,after his left hand was outside the camara range, he is holding the cube and in his right hand is the tabletennis ball the t´wo hands don't touch each other at any time so this must be real magic ;D

[aabuini]

As you all can see In 0:15 he replace the paper card with a ball and then if you watch carefully in 0:20 he shows the ball. And , in 0:43 he pause the video and throw that stick and he played the video again.

[akomiso]

cyril takayama is better

[AngryMrDave]

my brain is melting... lol cool!

[xmbomagic]

i know how he does evry trick ... corigorphy

hes like look at this disk the a dude takes the cube a repases is with a silly string in covine with camrea angles it looks real then he palmes the ball and disc

[Tubby442]

[onix191]

[Lumaniog07]

wow! thats totally awsome

[equistera]

holy...crap....you're good!!

[wmmdic]

[SpikedDesert]

Marco's personality is a large factor in making the trick very entertaining to watch.

[soyramos2]

[freekyfrogy]

iseewatudidthere lol

[CPnieuws]

[zZbOyBaDZz]

[DancingDesman]

so cool agree with me?

[krysztau151900]

good...

[davinhardoyo]

0:14 he changed the paper disk to a ball o_o

[Ninofgames24]

where does the stick he takes out go? around 0:43 the stick just disappears.

[thepharcyde12]

@Ninofgames24 he sent it to the 11th dimension!!

[likevvii]

the cube is supported by 3 poles,so he didnt take the last two "poles"

[deanrocks1]

anyways itsa cool trick

[nilzxx]

theres only one explanation for this. he's a witch!!

[bstjose]

wizard

[liondol]

LOL!

[goa103]

Great trick ! I even screamed because I really wasn't expecting the cube to be mapped on the ground ! It reminds of Georges Rousse work, the French photograph, and these artists who paint "super realist 3D illusions" on the ground... You know what I mean :lol:

[alphatan2]

to ez!!!

[sprtn167]

Ahah! I found it. when he goes to sit down, he hands off the 3d cube, while the other cube was taped to the ground! Thats the first one I managed to figure out1 :D

[Mdiggit]

but he puts his hand through the cube after he sits

[Shippou011]

But then how did he pass his hand behind the piece in front?

[zestCC]

WHOA that one blew my mind , check out my magic tricks

[wookie4747]

[javitejano]

look at :10 he looks at somebody.....the person who chges the cube

[jacobromu]

Pretty good. By the way, if you post how to do the trick on the comments, your not impression anyone. You not some uber magician... Because magicians don't do that.

[JESUiSTRESJOLi]

he messed up big when switched the paper disk and the ball. if u watch closley he starts with the disk in his right and right when his hand goes of the view of the camra, the 3d ball isin his left

[deernardz]

retarded. This trick is too easy to figure out.

[checkpoint1234]

that was cool

[Sxekura]

i know it.

he has the circle paper, then when he puts his hand down with the paper when you cant see it on the screen, the guy holding the phone gives him the ball, then another volunteer flattens the cube while its offscreen afterwards.

[thebiggestchode]

The whole thing was flat... Except for the white rod that stuck out of the ground through a tiny notice-able whole in the ground. And he obviously switched the ball with the flat wafer object.

[JerseySinCMD]

When the camera zoom in he makes the switch

[chiquideclown]

Hey Marco, I'm also a fellow magician my self and Vice president of I.B.M Ring 113 Lyndhurst, NJ

Very nice trick I thought it was very good, don't worry what other people comment. (they are playa hatea) I hate it when they try to figure out what you are trying to do instead of enjoying the trick. Keep up the good work. I like it...

[seemoe]

the cube is just covering the tape on the ground and when he picks up the cube and shows it to the camera, he throws it to the right. he also filmed it on an overcast day to hide the shadows

[bjeah]

Haha, you're right, see-more! I wondered how he could walk behind the cube in the beginning. Of course, the tape is covered by the real cube in the beginning!

[Zenu10]

look at his right hand...when he goes up close to the camera he switches the pingpong ball(right hand) to the left hand and drops the piece of paper...for the cube im still thinking about it!

[nicklk132]

this is so stupid

[Mat0tino]

fijense qe cuando pone la pelota en el piso se ve un hilo finito qe sale de la pelota. a partir de los 25-6 segundos

[nswhittier]

heh thats cool

yeah we all know its a camera trick. so stop trying to impress us with how you guys "cracked the case" .

relax its still fun to watch

[oldateck2]

ULTRAMEGASUPER fAaAkeeeeee

[jonser1]

AHHH i get it the cube is all an ilusion but the one straw is sticking up and the rest is tape made to look like a box

[pucatan]

after he removes one side of the cube and is about to toss it it dissapears

[bjeah]

I think that's just because of the low framerate of the phone camera. However, the one side is the only side.. The rest of it is just cleverly taped to the ground to make it look like it's standing out of it.

[pocket46]

miralo ke guiño q ace al final, si parece manolo escobar! xd woww q fenomeno!! ;)

[rickonet]

FALSE! noten que cuando habla del disco de papel y el cubo, su mano sale de toma y es ahi donde cambia el disco por una pelota... lo del cubo es simple, cuando supuestamente lo coloca en el suelo, lo que hace es lanzarlo a un lado, ya que mientras hablaba de lo que iba a hacer en ese espacio colocaron el supuesto cubo y una sola varilla que de acuerdo al angulo de la toma, encaja en el resto del "cubo"

ingenioso, pero falso =P

[DoctorHowItsDone]

CHARGES: Uses stop-cam. DEFENSE: Marco's aiming for a stage job.

EVIDENCE: 0:07-Tape ALREADY in place, all hidden by real 3D cube. 0:17-he moves 3D cube, exposing tape that cannot be seen on camera. 0:17-0:21-one vertical stick placed by accomplice. 0:21-Marco hands 3D cub to accomplice. 0:25-Passes hand in front of one vertical stick, the rest is tape.

VERDICT: Sentenced to probationary afternoon stage at Fitzgerald's, downtown Vegas.

[bjeah]

So, he didn't really use a stop-cam after all, then.

[Markusdiaz]

Magic is illusion!

[mrwhite692000]

This is genius! At 21 seconds he actually throws the cube away. When it is picked up the cube has its front edge missing which is part of the "flat" cube. The "flat cube" is placed directly behind the real cube. I'm impressed that such a good angle was achieved. The girl laughing is clearly laughing at the cube being thrown away :-)

[trackmay]

ok many people are sayin that the camera stops at some points, but i know the truth... 1.the ball is being switched off camera. 2. the side of the cube u remove is the only side standing up. 3. the whole 3d cube u show in the beginning is thrown off screen after shown. and thats how its done.

[trung1986vn]

it s going to bet bore man, you always use the same trick, and it s not true that you said that there s no camera trick, because it s one

[suffiice]

this is obvious. YOu cant see the cube when he comes up to the camera and puts it back down so he obviously just chucked the 3d one off screen

[suffiice]

haha this is cool

[AstariaFilms]

Fun Stuff!

Peace,

[m3gam4n1337]

the ball he bounce was that he changed it... u can tell when it was from the left to his right hand... the box was optical illusion which had 3 real sticks... thats why he didnt pick up the ones on the ground...

[candyapleluver]

its clear how he did the sphere part: the 1st 2d ball goes offscreen in his rite hand and the 3d one comes back in his left. so clearly there was a prop switch. im not so sure about the cube though...

[nirvanafrik]

look up the change from 00:38 to 00:39.you can see the pictures jumping.

"

Made again in phonecam magic style, with nothing more than my phone and absolutely no editing or no post-production.

"

yeah right...

[Mijitman4914]

after he passes his hand behind it, he removes the only standing piece of the cube, and the rest is left to peel off. he doesn't lie, there is no post production or cuts, just some clever hand and camera work.

[Mijitman4914]

the disc changes between :13 and :18 when its off screen. when he picks up the cube at :16, someone else puts the flat cube on the ground. when he returns, his hand goes off again far a second which allows him to toss the cube to the side. after that, he bounces the exchanged ball away. at :26 when he passes his hand behind the side of the cube, that is the only side of the cube that is 3D. because of the camera angle, it looks like a normal cube.

[5thgearouttahere]

STOP YOUR SUPER MIND TRICKS. You're taking all my bandwidth.

[AngelChildxxx]

materiale speciale

[sainjin]

at :12 you can tell he's looking at someone laying the tape...

[CentralFloridaTurbo]

as his hands disappeared out of shot he changed the disk to a ball, as he puts it down at 21 someone came to the floor quickly and put the tape box on the floor and as for the bar disappearing, he could have clipped the right end to a piece of string in his hand (as quality is low its hard to see this) and as he straightens his arm it shoots of his sleeve... simple really...

[cornhuskerdude120]

notice that the disc turns into a rubber ball before he even puts it next to the cube and u can tell because he brings his hands down at 17 seconds and then brings up a ball but he does do a cut becuz 6 seconds in u can see that his body is behind the cube

[TheShiningCrap]

Awesome trick! It took me 3 watches to figure this one out.

[toxic4life]

dude wicked. that blew my mind and ive seen some pretty trippy stuff. if u made those tricks urself u could make a lot of money selling the secret

[Ernistinho]

on 0:21, the cube is out of sight if u look roght after 0:21, u see it has changed, probably a cut.

[NDC316]

It´s not a cut. He just threw the 3d cube away...

[rastaride]

that was easy! i really understood that one. all of the sides of the square are taped tot eh ground except 1 making it look 3D. so then he can peel it off the ground. simple

[perspicaciouscritic]

But that doesn't explain, rastaride, how when the camera jerked around -- from 00:24 seconds, on, into the video -- you couldn't spot the break in the top-edge of the piece he removed and the corner-edge of the taped "cube." The shaky camera should have revealed a break where they "connect," no?

[McKennzy]

EASY!!!

[joelsex4ever]

cool!!!!! how u do it

[partyboy91065]

wait....i have those shoes...

[partyboy91065]

uh......what?

[joshyc2006]

one of the 2 dimentional pieces was obviously a standy-up one...ithink he puts the real square to the side, or it was on top of the tape cube....hmm

[isocrate27]

I think it's an illusion

[tigervirgoimago]

He know's much more about special effects than I do. I'd like him to incorparate his mastery into a good story line. I'm sure he'd win any number of film festivals.

[HCelticPrincessness]

You are good! I signed up to see more. :) Susan

[LonelyVietz]

whoa that was cool

[ItsIncubus]

that one got me until i watched it the second time, its easy

[lightwilker]

I was surprised to read about you in James Randi's book after having seen your videos on youtube. Nice illusions.

[jakep132]

ok look this is how you did the ball thing which was easy you change the disc thing with the guy with the camrea who had the ball you distacted us by talking

[trashr2d]

wah yea

[Voli23]

that got me, for once.

[HaBbYbOy12Y]

lol on the 43 second he has the stick on his hand\( it doesnt show) and when he moves back to show u (46 second) he gives it to the camera man

[whereisbartek]

even thought one can guess how its done, its still entertaining:)

[bagnon]

If you take a screen shot the first time the cube is shown and the last time before it's disassembled, the trees and cube are in exactly the same relationship, pretty hard to do for a handheld phone. So he must put the phone in a holder for those shots.

[cornhuskerdude120]

he doesnt use a camera phone he just "says" he is.... otherwise none of that stuff he did would be possible cuz u cant do it with a camera phone

[froobtoob]

im not a magician but i figure,when in the 12th second he looks at his assistant,who then begins to place the shaft.The angles and him kneeling behind the cube, blocks the majority of the tape that was laid. He then tosses the 1 in his hand off screen when putting it down. then puts his hand behind the shaft,not covering the tape cross parts at the top. then removes the shaft and lifts the tape. atleast thats how it looked to me,its a good job. I'm prolly not even close,but hey,im not a magician

[synchroinc]

GOOD

[coryocn]

Very awesome but he moves everything out of camera view and it could become anything. he could have swapped the disk for a dog if he wanted

[RillyMonsterZero]

that one was good

[rmsroman]

i got it: he changed the disc into the ball when u can't see his hand (00:14 - 00:19) and the cube.... wtf i have no idea!!

[sportguy11]

if u want to know how he does the square part of the trick i can tell you. just sayin

[BenjaminSchnak]

I figured it out. the only part of the square that was real was that one side. The rest of the square was tape!

You have made me regain my faith in magic.

[cmchinky]

ok i can work out the ball bit but the cube..nice job...

[cheerchick9506]

whoa, that was sooooo awesome.

[LocalGamer1337]

haha i see what he did

look at 23rd second he out the box out of line of site

[jeymervin]

why doesnt he use a better camera

[jaylib16]

great!!!!

[fulllluf]

the (3-d)box was already there in the beginning as well as the stuff that was on the ground (2-d box) such that the camera angle make it originally look like it was just the box alone. Note that the camera didnt show him removing the 3-d box, just him picking it up and when he "placed" the box back down, it wasnt on the ground just his assistant on the side, who placed just one of the stick he allegedly "removes". Note how he angles himself to remove that side of the box so the trick wud work

[Flackfizer]

Basically the same illusion as the pencil and the umbrella, both of them off camera switches or hand offs. But, Marco is sooo good at this, who cares if you know how it is done--it is all in the craftmanship!

[XMen3Rocks]

hahaha, he switched the ball with da paper, right b4, and then had a plastic stik put on da ground, standing, and it looked like it was a cube, but it really wuz paper for the rest of ""the cube"".hahaha lol.

[Pinkerton1]

Good tricks Marco, can you make the corrupt police on our island dissapear?

[EZgoN2]

Very simple and silly

[NES088]

haha, yeah that was good, but i think i got it too

[Jaremaing]

I'm thinking only one of the white thingies is sticking out: just at the right length to look natural!

[dertzmgertz07]

the top right and bottom of the actual 3D cube are thicker white than the taped one as well if u study it closely but obviously at the first few watches u cant tell, its awesome

[WAWEENKA]

Marco your magic is so wonderfull but I am unlucky I cant youtube often this month because there is no peace in my place(Mogadishu,Somalia)OMG a gunshot! I have to go and defend myself.

[lextastic]

switchin the ball is easy to spot, and the cube as well. while he talks about the ball they lay down the cube, leaving only one pole standing. but its still a masterful performance. problem with videos is, that you can eventually figure it out :)

[CorrectSystem]

i don't care if it's true or not, it's just nice to see
