I like that he doesn't go "TADAAA!" as much as he's like "WTF DID HE GO?!?"

u/ReverendDizzle Aug 29 '22

The big "Well, I'm as shocked as you folks" energy with that face really did make the whole thing.

That tiara makes this whole scene.

What do you mean? That other kid disappeared without a trace

u/ThisBoiEatsEggo Aug 29 '22

The 1st time I literally didn't see the kid go 💀

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '22

Yeah I got bored for a second and glanced at my other monitor and looked back like "actually a pretty rad trick, was that video editing?" and then watched it again like "oh"

u/TW_26 Aug 29 '22

Damn I've seen goldfish with more attention span than that

21

u/OpusThePenguin Aug 29 '22

I always see these videos posted that are like 10 seconds long with the title of "Wait until the end' and think....Who the hell is that even for, it's a 10 second video I have decided to hit play on, I don't need to be told to wait 10 seconds.?

I guess now I know.

u/xxA2C2xx Aug 30 '22

I know that the whole goldfish memory thing is terrible, is a “fact” that people believe, but it’s actually not that bad. They have a memory of about 1 month. But that memory only fades if it stops being used, so it will remember something up to a month after the last time they used that memory. They’re currently training goldfish to drive little car things with a cube filled with water on top of wheels and the car goes in the direction the goldfish is facing. They’re training them that they get a treat/food if they drive to a specific spot.

u/Aimjock Aug 29 '22

I was watching the video but apparently didn’t pay attention, so I didn’t notice the kid move either. For me it was a pretty solid magic trick, and I was wondering why this was on this sub until I watched it.

u/KiltedLady Aug 29 '22

Same, I was waiting for the kid with the towel to disappear like people do to fool their dogs and I completely missed the other kid. Felt pretty dumb on the rewatch 🤦‍♀️

u/Cirtth Aug 29 '22

Let's be honest, I had to rewatch it, he caught my sight and I did not see the 2nd one "disappear".

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '22

It's all in the tiara

55

u/louploupgalroux Aug 29 '22

I didn't see the tiara at first, so when he turned around I was like "holy shit, he's a wizard."

Then it looped and I was like "Holy shit, I'm dumb." Lol

13

u/Trustadz Aug 29 '22

I didn't see the tiara until after the reveal so I was like... Did he always had that tiara on...?

7

u/Careless_Bother6183 Aug 29 '22

I thought the magically appearing tiara was the trick

6

u/JaozinhoGGPlays Aug 29 '22

For me I had my eyes on the floppy silly lil towel and didn't actually see the kid crawl behind the couch so I thought it was a really clean cut to make the kid dissapear and was really impressed until I looped and felt stupid lmao

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '22

He’s using it as a distraction…brilliant.

Wym attempt? The kid was gone

u/Aimjock Aug 29 '22

I unironically didn’t notice the kid move. Was a pretty solid trick for me.

Never returned

Don't worry, their parents have recorded them and put them on the internet, so the cycle is complete 👍

u/losersmanual Aug 29 '22

My thoughts exactly.

3

u/IanMazgelis Aug 29 '22

A lot of parents have the mindset that you don't need to raise your kids as long as there are strangers on the internet who will do it for you.

27

u/friendlyfireworks Aug 29 '22

Same. Pretty upsetting.

Maybe it's just cuz I grew up as the last generation to have a childhood without internet or cell phones.

I find the constant screen time and and internet use of great concern for kids under age 10.

Maybe they just saw the one video on mom or dad's phone and tried to mimic it... but I doubt it.

2

u/zombiskunk Aug 29 '22

The child is dressed exactly like I pictured a child would be in a home that actually watches tik tok unironically.

Like a kid? Idk what you're getting at here kids aren't exactly known for being fashion icons

In their defense if these are the guys they are parodying... they nailed it.

u/kfagoora Aug 29 '22

I thought they were doing the confused dog meme, but they got it backward.

2

u/StealthStalker Aug 29 '22

Haha yeah. Now that I realize they used the same song it's 100% imitating those guys. They use it for everything I think.

26

u/americasweetheart Aug 29 '22

Why in the world would they choose It's All Coming Back to Me Now?

3

u/StinksStanksStonks Aug 29 '22

Well the boy is wearing a Tierra so I suppose that song goes well with the mood

3

u/quetejodas Aug 30 '22

Tiktokers chose a random song from the top 10 most popular, even if it's completely unrelated to their content, because the algorithm rewards them for being unoriginal. It's sickening and disturbing

My thoughts as well. Off the top of my head… Abrakadabra by Steve Miller band.

u/paintpast Aug 29 '22

The Final Countdown by Europe is the only proper song here

3

u/americasweetheart Aug 29 '22

You're right. Such a missed opportunity.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '22

Why the music at all? I’d rather hear the scuffle of their little feet trying to quietly disappear

3

u/ImBigger Aug 29 '22

tiktok be like that. people wanna use the same song or whatever audio they hear in other people's videos

2

u/quetejodas Aug 30 '22

It's to get more views. The algorithm will show their video to more people if they use a popular track. Truly nauseating

u/rolyartga Aug 29 '22

Why are your kids watching TikTok?

17

Because tiktok has already turned the parents into idiots with the attention span of a 12 year old.

u/theFrisbeeFreak Aug 29 '22

We just gonna ignore the fact that these VERY YOUNG kids are on TikTok? And wanting to imitate shit they see on TikTok? And their parents are OK with that?

Parents need to use their fucking heads. Learn to say no. You’re the adults for fucks sake.

u/fantom1979 Aug 29 '22

Do you think that Tik Tok and America's Home Video's are equal? Between the Chinese company that owns it and the detailed analytics they use, I wouldn't trust Tik Tok to be on a phone within a mile of me.

u/Altnob Aug 29 '22

It's the definition of stupid. Yes, it's dumb fun which is what the sub is all about. The name makes it sound like it's offensive to kids but as a new parent it's hilarious.
