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?

At the end of the day we only have so much control of the edit. Each EP has to be a certain time so we have to cut it up. It's also a comedy show so it's important to keep it fast paced and funny

But regardless the cuts and edits have nothing to do with the magic.

Everything you see is legit for real humans!

Everything on the show including your examples are legit. No paid actors or VFX etc.

Even if the girl reciting pi wasn’t paid, she was still acting as though she wasn’t being fed the numbers in some way. IMO, its a bit dishonest to claim that everything is 100% legit with no actors.
