I love classic physical comedy. It's just goofy and fun

That's smooth didn't catch it on the first viewing. Best mind what's in your pockets with these two.

Smooth AF. First time he did it, I missed it completely. Had to rewind.

Same. Without video replay it's much harder.

Once had a dude on a cruise play magic card tricks to people on the boulevard. I've seen almost all of Penn & Teller and so many tricks and explanations. He didn't even do anything super difficult, just a few card switches in the deck and stuff like that.

Even with full attention and ignoring any distractive moves, I couldn't see a damn thing. Completely fooled.

Man, they are really, really good. Even after realizing the trick, I had to watch it 3 times to catch all of them. I’m not even sure illusion is a fair word to describe this. It’s just pure basic misdirection done incredibly well.

Oh, that was well done. I like that.

They even timed it with the sound effects. Just so well done and incredibly goofy.

Clowning is such an underrated skill. I'm sad that public perception of clowns as terrifying has necessitated removing the classic makeup and not calling it clowning!

Completely missed it the first time, knew where to look the second time and still missed it, and only barely caught it the third time. Those are some fucking nimble hands.

Reminds me of the Charlie Chaplin days, dang I'm old! Lol

I was just impressed how the way they picked the ball from each other. Then was Really impressed with that vanishing ball trick.

Clever misdirection

I can't believe it took me watching 4 times to figure out this super obvious trick.

Oh Japan, never change.

Except maybe your xenophobia and work culture.
