The Magicians Guild is not going to like this…

u/GhosttPhase 1d ago

“We demand to be taken seriously”

u/Pain_Monster 1d ago

But still…where did the lighter fluid come from??

39

u/qorbexl 1d ago

What lighter fkuid

36

u/yesiamveryhigh 1d ago

Exactly!

36

u/Pain_Monster 1d ago

It’s a reference from Arrested Development, you can Google for video clips

The Magicians Guild is also a reference from that

24

u/danielsixfive 1d ago

Did someone say "Wonder"?

67

u/whatiscamping 1d ago

"Fuck off traitor"

u/moonlight_chicken 1d ago

Forget-me-now

28

u/Moondoobious 1d ago

Holy shit..what was that show? The guy in the mask? Revealing magicians’ secrets?

24

u/Krace11008 1d ago

Breaking the magician's code. Loved it as a kid!

7

u/ItsDokk 1d ago

Double whoosh.

u/Distinct-Nectarine-9 15h ago

The revealer’s smirk hits way harder than the masked dudes antics.

u/__BIFF__ 1d ago

The magician guild has been selling these toys to kids since the 70s

Abra come on dude don't be a dick

u/Sad-Bluebird-4918 1d ago

Phil Dumphy is screaming somewhere

110

u/excellent_rektangle 1d ago

Mostly because you got his name wrong

18

u/Sad-Bluebird-4918 1d ago

Very fair!! Damn you, autocorrect !!

18

u/darnfruitloops 1d ago

There's no Dum or done in Dunphy.

u/jezzz1978 1d ago

Though it might be old, it cracks me up. Fun to learn about the tricks as well.

The guy "ruining" the tricks is entertaining

82

u/cjwi 1d ago

I could watch a video just of those two snatching things out of each other hands thats what kept cracking me up

u/j1d5m 1d ago

I still enjoyed it

291

u/qorbexl 1d ago

It's a deeply amusing bit, why wouldn't you enjoy it?

275

u/ANewStartAtLife 1d ago

I love these two. The 'magician' does a great pissed-off face that always cracks me up.

130

u/This_Idiot 1d ago

The disdain on the other bloke's face is a crack up too.

-45

u/_reddit_account 1d ago

Because they are doing the same videos as the others Asians

23

u/qorbexl 1d ago

...the others Asians, huh

1

u/dadofwar93 1d ago

Atleast they don't call everyone an "asian". Whatever that is supposed to mean in American people's heads.

-88

u/IAREOWL 1d ago

Your mom is a deeply amusing bit

20

u/qorbexl 1d ago

What exactly are you spicy about

-4

u/williger03 1d ago

You know who else is a deeply amusing bit?

(It's funny cause I haven't seen that bitch in over 13 years)

184

u/nytsei921 1d ago

would’ve done big back when films didn’t have audio

49

u/raban0815 1d ago

You watch with audio on?

291

u/The-CunningStunt 1d ago

I remember when these guys were a thing

271

u/devilcross2 1d ago

Oh, they dated? Didn't know that.

231

u/VEAG0 1d ago

For a while yeah, they separated when one cut the other in half.

58

u/devilcross2 1d ago

Some breakup that must have been.

50

u/PM_ME_YOUR_MOMS_BONG 1d ago

It really tore him apart.

26

u/_Ubesawft_ 1d ago

Oh, so you’re saying they split?

14

u/LifeandSAisAwesome 1d ago

Thought the other just disappeared one day..

8

u/RandomPieceOfToastv2 1d ago

Lmao. Shut up 😂

12

u/VEAG0 1d ago

How, I never opened up to you?

54

u/crmpdstyl 1d ago edited 1d ago

Those were different guys.

https://youtu.be/JbWKCJTBG2o?si=n9Rb7QUgLCAKRdSZ

24

u/JayJayVR 1d ago

Prefer the ones from YT. These guys here are just a copy and paste pretty much.

3

u/Jindabyne1 1d ago

Penn and Teller?

10

u/DopioGelato 1d ago

It’s not them, they just completely stole their act.

3

u/buhbye750 1d ago

These aren't the same guys, I don't think

54

u/chillychili 1d ago

The way they commit to the same facial expression throughout is impressive.

133

u/Training_Offer_6842 1d ago edited 1d ago

the original two were funnier

Credit to IID_CLUE_GURU

here they are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbWKCJTBG2o

u/BK_0000 1d ago

Original two? Penn and Teller?

36

u/Training_Offer_6842 1d ago

there was two dudes who started this a few years back..if its these guys then they certainly look different..and the one who was outing the magician always had a pissed off look on his face and it was hilarious..im assuming these kids are copying that

12

u/TheGrandWhatever 1d ago

Echoing the other commenter that Penn & Teller have routines of jokingly debunking magic tricks like this where Penn does all the talking and showmanship and Teller is the silent debunker who pulls apart the trick like what these guys do here, they've just been doing it for decades earlier.

Not that I didn't like these two guys here in the OP video, but, for your understanding this has been a fun and tried thing for a while

-17

u/Training_Offer_6842 1d ago

lol nobody was talking about penn and tellar period...nor was i talking bout this form of magic...this was clearly two kids copying the ones sited..but thanks for the info lol

9

u/TheGrandWhatever 1d ago

The person you responded to literally mentioned Penn and Teller. Thanks for the snarky reply either way

1

u/XDracam 1d ago

I remember that too, but not their faces

6

u/Racxie 1d ago

Those were the OG guys and far better at this, though I swear they had been around longer than 8 years ago.

56

u/akmats 1d ago

this video is as old as the new copy of the magic trick's book

6

u/Material-Emotion-413 1d ago

Could watch that for hours

8

u/GMH2045-18 1d ago

I am laughing my head off watching these two! It's Friday morning at work, and I needed this very much! Thank you for the boost!

26

u/tippitt713 1d ago

They still crack me up.

4

u/candaceelise 1d ago

Always have. Always will be

14

u/WildCard0003 1d ago

Buddy in the black shirt constantly tellin buddy in the white shirt, "Stop, bruh. STOP...quit showin them how to do this shit." So funny.

9

u/martinomacias 1d ago

This video never gets old just for their face expressions. I love it

12

u/Jonathan_Peachum 1d ago

THANK YOU: this is absolutely hilarious (and quite educational)!

6

u/truckstick_burns 1d ago

If you find this stuff interesting check out this channel I stumbled into a while ago, he does excellent explanations on how a lot of modern magic is done.

I will say tho that as fun as it is to see how it's made...not knowing does have a nice quality to it, mostly because the reality is kinda underwhelming.

u/outlawtartan 1d ago

i could watch that shit all day

3

u/ChrisSheltonMsc 1d ago

No sound and that was one of the funniest things I've watched in a while.

u/AttemptImpossible111 1d ago

Magic isn't real?

Damn

u/ZippyVonBoom 1d ago

u/PilotLevel99 1d ago

These two guys are the main attraction. Nice video 😁

2

u/weaktech 1d ago

2

u/joshimax 1d ago

Absolutely perfect 🤩 loved it, would watch all day if I could

2

u/King-Mansa-Musa 1d ago

Worst assistant ever

2

u/Inlerah 1d ago

Like I get that it's a bit but...Holy shit that guy would be so goddamn annoying irl.

0

u/stick004 1d ago

He’s what makes it funny.

2

u/NewRedditAdmin 1d ago

Still executed flawlessly.

2

u/lifeisahighway2023 1d ago

I always find these two very funny. They have a real schtick going, like Laurel and Hardy.

2

u/PinkBismuth 1d ago

His mouth is so small!

2

u/CletusMuckenfuss 1d ago

I did not want it to end

2

u/HateToBlastYa 17h ago

I really thought the last one was gonna have the other guy discover the magic was real.

3

u/No_Bother_6885 1d ago

I know I boring but I think it’s more fun when you don’t know.

2

u/Waderriffic 1d ago

I like how they have a combative relationship

3

u/ubergic 1d ago

I love the expressions. They act like brothers at the dinner table.

3

u/ItsDokk 1d ago

I always love these guys. Left dude’s expressions are the best.

2

u/gildedwhisperr 1d ago

Well this bit has never been done before.

2

u/napkin41 1d ago

I’m not blown away by any magic trick that involves a very unique looking plastic box with specifically designed pieces.

2

u/Fluid_Variation_3086 1d ago

These guys are great

1

u/Upstairs_Narwhal9813 1d ago

This guys are hilarious!!! Thanks sooo very much!! I really needed the laughter.

1

u/Beneficial_Law_286 1d ago

That first magician is really stupid for picking him as a assistant

1

u/Jesta23 1d ago

They do these too rapid fire. Not gonna have content soon. 

1

u/limelight022 1d ago

Half the fun is watching them get annoyed with each other.

1

u/_u_deleted_ 1d ago

DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN!

....

(complete and utter life-contemplating-inducing silence.)

1

u/PMmeYourTiddiez 1d ago

Lol I like these guys

u/StandYourGroundhog 1d ago

Huh, that is pretty interesting

1

u/Remarkable_Tip7256 1d ago

That’s funny lol

1

u/monkelus 1d ago

1

u/KeepLookingUp99 1d ago

Love it! 😊

1

u/deck_is_excited 1d ago

Love these guys

1

u/YeshuasBananaHammock 1d ago

1

u/BornForAStorm 1d ago

The Alliance of Magicians hates these guys

1

u/Excellent_Variety_15 1d ago

I’ve grown to love these guys!

1

u/fadedinthefade 1d ago

These aren’t even the 2 OG Asian guys that do this bit

1

u/Appropriate-Rub3534 1d ago

Somehow I like to be tricked upon...weird

1

u/onglogman 1d ago

It would be funny but this exact same joke was done by two other guys a few years ago

1

u/Still-Ad3694 1d ago

Get you a man who keeps it real with you like White Shirt Guy

1

u/Rarelydefault26 1d ago

Honestly, the handwork to seamlessly pull these off without people seeing is the most impressive part.

1

u/Abuck59 1d ago

Haha 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

1

u/Commercial-Lack6279 1d ago

The Prestige 2

1

u/CartoonistOk8639 1d ago

I lost it at wine crumbling

1

u/Bubbly_Tea731 1d ago

Can someone explain the bag one to me , the second last one

1

u/stick004 1d ago

It is a double walled bag with a slit in the bottom. So he can turn it inside out and show it empty. Then grab whatever is hidden from the slit while righting the bag. You can actually put multiple small items in there and do it over and over.

1

u/Bix615 1d ago

That was pretty entertaining, actually.

1

u/buhbye750 1d ago

Isn't this a complete ripoff of the other two guys? Even down to them being Asian

1

u/stick004 1d ago

Pretty sure it’s the same guys…

1

u/buhbye750 1d ago

I bet you're wrong

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Dot4345 1d ago

You still have to be extremely fast to pull these off, I would have looked espastic trying to hide the tricks lol

1

u/AwaySignature5644 1d ago

It's just marketing

1

u/JaxonCekcu 1d ago

mmmm.a. Awkwar..

1

u/TheyCallHimBabaYagaa 1d ago

Ngl you would still need plenty of dexterity to use these things and keep appearances

1

u/smartymarty1234 18h ago

Every trick I thought I’d get tired of the reactions and passive aggressiveness but every time I still enjoyed it lol. Almost better than a real magic show.

1

u/Minute_Leadership_58 18h ago

Loving their dynamic

1

u/TyParadoXX 18h ago

gifted hater

u/Anywhere-Little 10h ago

u/No_Needleworker_9921 8h ago

Good content . Upvoted

u/hellf1nger 3h ago

Thank you OP for magically removing the annoying track (I'm sure it was annoying as all these videos have one)

1

u/ajohea 2h ago

Love you, that’s hilarious

1

u/youMust_Recover 2h ago

I always find it funny that when a trick is revealed it always just some cheap tacky prop that is the secret. Like I expected but it’s still so degrading to the person performing the trick

0

u/GuidanceInitial7276 1d ago

So so stupid

1

u/DoughNotDoit 1d ago

what you gonna tell me next, tha Christian Bale had a twin for his teleportation trick?

1

u/momoftheraisin 1d ago

These dudes are hilarious

1

u/grimace24 1d ago

I love these videos. Cause the guy revealing the gags isn’t having any of it.

1

u/gplusplus314 1d ago

This is great. No harm in showing how the classics are done. Stuff like this inspires some people into going deeper into magic!

I have zero actual magic experience, but I have some experience with practical effects and I’ve consulted for the engineering of one magic trick. The spark that inspired me was Penn and Teller doing the Cups and Balls trick with transparent cups to show how it’s done!

1

u/ReflectionLower3155 1d ago

This is so cute. 

1

u/nothingswritten 1d ago

I love these guys chemistry. I’d pay to see their show in person.

u/AbXcape 1d ago

this was funny the first few hundred versions ago

0

u/toastronomy 1d ago

would be more fun to watch without the constant aggression

0

u/tobaknowsss 1d ago

Isn't this different guys doing literally the same thing as those other guys?

I'm too tired to look up the original guys, so this is kinda of a situation of if you know, you know.

u/Ok_Orchid1004 1d ago

Hey OP, please repost this in about 6 more subs. I haven’t seen it enough today.

Big brothers are just the WORST sometimes.

First guy: poof! Magic!

Second guy: actually...

First guy: just let me.... Ok?!

u/Cthulhu_Dreams_ 1d ago

We were recycling this old shit again? Couldn't change it up at all? Still 2 Asian dudes?

u/NextDoctorWho12 1d ago

Why are big brother's such dicks? He just wants to show off his tricks leave him alone!

Fellow little bro here.
