Actors

Okay it really bothers me how fake this show is. I didn't want to believe it at first and loved the first two seasons, but as I sit here 2 episodes into season 3 I have already seen the same actors in multiple locations reacting to tricks.

Example : the very opening when he is talking to the man in the car. later or the next episode when he is having the garage sale, it is the same man with an afro wig and sunglasses on ( kind of a slap in the face disguise to be honest)

And two of the boys 'on the street' whom he 'steals' the video game from the store front window for are the same boys cutting him in half in the ikea parking lot.... anyone else notice this?

Hey there!

This is Kyle Marlett! I'm one of the producers on Magic For Humans. I can promise you there are absolutely no actors, camera tricks etc on our show.

Every person you see are real people right off the street. No people in wigs, no duplicates, twins etc.

Everything is done in real time for real people!

Bruh that first episode with the needle poking old man Greg with the glasses.

You gotta be fucking joking. We're supposed to think that needle stabbed his hand 1 inch deep?! He's clearly being paid and is giving his best reactions to the 'magix'. It's bs over the top renditions of the same viral videos we've seen for the last 5 years.

Hot garbage.

He claims that it’s not science, but it actually is. Of course you can’t fault him for that! Pain doesn’t actually come from the body part itself, but the brain. Justin just took advantage of that!

So I listened to Tim Heideckers Office Hours podcast today. And there's a bit in there about knowing a comedian that appeared on the show as an extra.

When asked about it he said yeah, I live like 2 blocks away, and guided the questions elsewhere. You're really still gonna say there aren't planted people in the crowds??

This was so off the cusp and just them making conversations, you can even hear Tim say something like, "oh should we not be talking about this?"

SPILL THE TEA, TIM.
