How is this trick realized?

[tkingdoll]

You don't need camera edits to achieve some pretty 'impossible' vanishes.

My favourite (I am biased because it's partly my work) is the extremely impossible banana vanish:

That guy's vanishes are seriously cool.

The comments (his own, so I don't think this is "revealing") say that:

"These are true:
1. This is one continuous shot
2. I don't make a solid glass bottle vanish"

and

"It can be performed in front of 1 person at a time stood in the right position... It's a bit limited really."

I know the bottle vanish,but the bare hand vanish...? A magician friend of mine says "edit" and at first I argued against this,but I don't know of any way to do it without yet.

For the last time, just because Paul Daniels sent you a few replies on YouTube it doesn't make him your friend!!

Hey Al Carthy has left comment on his Scary Mosnter video.Im so rubbing e-shoulders with the stars.

On subject of bottle vanish in hands,watch the shadows on wall.They dont seem to correspond with his arms.

I was born in the same town that Lance Burton and Mac King were! We're tight, man.

I have to disagree. Simply an unobvious lighting angle--behind and above him, and to his right.

2. I don't make a solid glass bottle vanish"

There are two ways to interpret that. The one I think is least likely is that he means the bottle wasn't real.

The I think is more likely is that he means he actually vanish anything. It's the advice I give people who are trying to figure out a method: First decide what the magician didn't do. He didn't saw a woman in half. He didn't pull a quarter from my ear. He didn't magically make the Ace appear over here instead of over there.

You have PM Monsieur Garrette.

 

[Garrette]

You have PM Monsieur Garrette.

Much obliged. I have used your clues to find the hidden gold. Am now in process of eluding hitmen dispatched by the global conspiracy.

Condor.

I say again:

Condor.


Edit: Excellent catch on what you told me to be alert for. I'm impressed you noticed that.

You have PM Monsieur Garrette.

Oh, I'm so jealous.

 

[Garrette]

Oh, I'm so jealous.

Don't be. The things I had to do for that pm, let me tell you...

Well, let's just say I'm a shoe-in for the Senate now.

/brag/

I'm pretty sure I figured out the banana trick that Teek posted. She won't tell me if I'm right, and that's fine, because I don't want to know if I'm wrong. I never figure these sorts of things out.




/end brag/

 

[TobiasTheViking]

I got the banana trick the first time i saw it. but that is very rare for me, just a fluke

 

[Azrael 5]

Well I know the trick behind the banana video,but not the actual vanish.Very clever guy RIchard Wiseman.

Ahem. That video was a joint effort. Give me my credit! I'm smart too!



PS I'm even in the video. I will say no more.

I was right! I was right!!!!




Teek, you've made my week. *hug*

 

[Azrael 5]

Teek you're a Banana?!

 

[tkingdoll]

Teek you're a Banana?!

No, I'm a mug





That's actually an appropriate gag if you know how long that video took to make.

aren't tricks supposed to be enjoyed by NOT knowing how they're done?
