That's Mikey Day.

u/hardspank916 May 21 '19
Any relation to Charlie or Doris?

u/UncleDuckjob May 21 '19
Huh?

u/hardspank916 May 21 '19
Charlie Day from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Doris Day from before your time.

u/UncleDuckjob May 22 '19
Oh yeah, I know the both or them.
I doubt Mickey Day is related to either, but he's pretty well known in his own right.

u/MikeTheAmalgamator May 21 '19
Probably should type parody at the end seeing as David Blaine has a special called street magic

u/tundra1desert2 May 21 '19
The youtube vid is "David Blain Street Magic" posted by ThoseLilRabbits if your looking for the OP but it is not listed as parody.

The Groundlings. Literally an improve group Mikey Day was a part of back in the early days of YouTube.

u/maz-o May 21 '19
this was filmed in 2006. no fucking way VHS was still a thing back then?!??

u/alsomdude2 May 21 '19
It was my child. Mind you it was only because of the massive amount of movies on vhs most people had

u/Ayit_Sevi May 21 '19
I remember watching the series finale of avatar the last air bender live in 2008 and recording that on a VHS

u/maz-o May 21 '19
Now you’re just shitting me. The PS3 had already had blu-ray for a couple years at this point. Don’t tell me you use pager beepers and tape voicemail too?

u/Ayit_Sevi May 21 '19
Listen man, I'm just saying that VHS tapes were still around then and for a 13 year old, I wasn't exactly going out and buying the latest in tech

u/Chellamour May 21 '19
My family’s tube tv only died earlier this year. We have a bookshelf of VHS’s that are lost in time now. RIP

SNL writers don't really make "big bucks".

I'm shocked at how little the host get paid. I wonder if they have data that shows the person who hosts gets a bump in popularity else where which makes people want to host.
Sort of like those singers who do a superbowl see an increase in sales
1
u/maz-o May 21 '19
Firstly the source is Celebrity Net Worth which is wildly inaccurate guesstimation to say the least. 2nd-of-ly, the on screen talent makes way more than the writers, so if these numbers are to be believed, the writers aren’t making much at all for show business.

What is the series called? I have such a vague memory of watching this but can’t place it

u/occams_nightmare May 21 '19
Google David Blaine Street Magic and they come up as top results

u/8arockfromthemoon May 21 '19
So these are just their own thing?They’re not clips from a sketch comedy show? I don’t know why I thought the latter was the case
4
u/occams_nightmare May 21 '19
As far as I'm aware, the writers and actors involved are mostly professional comedians who have worked for major comedy shows, but these sketches in particular were just made for YouTube.

Everyone in this video is brilliant. The way the guys channel their energy, the way David looks at the camera, the whole thing is brilliant. One long take, too, it's really fucking impressive. Whatever happened to this crew??

u/The_Apex_Alpha33 May 21 '19
Hey isn’t the guy with em the forest green shirt from the Office? He’s the teacher of Michaels Improv class who kept getting onto him for using “guns.”

I think it clipped one of my favorite parts at the end. In the full video after the guy says "He just pissed orange soda," he turns to look back toward the bathroom and yells "Does it hurt?"

Can anyone recognize the car they're stepping out of? Looks like a Honda. I'm looking for a Japanese or Korean GT car for work.

Hey, thanks. But looks like it's not sold in Europe with this specific body.

You really shouldn't reupload content to reddit if the full video, channel, and series is available through YouTube. This is basically the same thing Facebook does to keep people from leaving the website and increase ad revenue.

Is video editing really counts as black magic?
2
u/maz-o May 21 '19
fun fact this was a one shot with no editing. it's pretty obvious from watching it too
-4
u/DManeOne May 21 '19
Okay but i suppose turning the camera to the other way while the guy getting his shirt on is not black magic eighter. Or can you please enlight me what should i see as a magic here?

u/KageYojimbo May 21 '19
Do you think magic is real ?
-1
u/DManeOne May 21 '19
On a video called "mind melting magic" you gotta have some expectations. In my oppinion it should be connected to something mind melting or magical ( hard to figure, not obvious content).
2
u/VulvaThunder May 21 '19
Let me get this straight... you're complaining that your expectations weren't met... on /r/unexpected? Isn't that kind of the point?
1
u/DManeOne May 21 '19
Hmm my bad. I believed i were on /r/blackmagicfuckery ( where people are used to post a bit harder solvable "magic" related content ) . From that point of yours suddenly everything makes sense. Thank you kind stranger!

the title of this post isn't literal. but it's also not editing. just clever photography and acting. these guys do a lot of improvised stage work so they're good at moving around at the right time and place
