“Wow, this is amazing, they made Tom Cruise look tall” best line of the video, Penn is a savage
@somethingcleverhere
@somethingcleverhere 4 роки тому
Eh, it was an easy shot, and the very next clip shows Cruise quite short next to Jean Reno, so for me it undercut his joke. Between the I'm sure Tom Cruise would learn the trick, I'm sure Tom Cruise didn't do it, and considering Penn was sure Chris Pratt's trick was someone else, which Pratt has done on talk shows, they were Penn's weakest bits.

@PXCharon
@PXCharon 4 роки тому
Their bullet catch was developed specifically to be a no risk illusion. If something go wrong, there's zero way anybody gets hurt. Alternate versions of the trick sometimes actually had potential to send a live round across the stage. That's where they draw the line. Despite what it look like, nobody can really be hurt if there's a mistake. Give or take the odd bruise, scratch, or piranha bite, apparently.
@ShoRyuBarbie
@ShoRyuBarbie 4 роки тому
It's not frightening an audience that bothers him, it's making the audience complicit if you actually do something that's dangerous/potentially life-threatening if it goes wrong. He pretended to kill a mouse by dropping it in a container of liquid nitrogen in front of small children. Frightening an audience is probably one of the things he enjoys most in life.

@@Raientai Yes, because that trick is not so much for the audience, but more to one up the competition on sacrifice. And the sacrifice invested for this trick are absolutely insane. (Spoiler Warning!) One guy sacrifices a finger, one guy sacrifices the relationship with his love and one guy dies a thousand deaths for that trick. And the whole point of the movie is that some people will do completely unreasonable sacrifices just to be the best (or even just to assist the best) even though deep down they know how unreasonable those sacrifices are, but they can't help it b/c passion yadda yadda.

@@matthewmaas9031 I don't think that was the twist. I think the twist was that Jackman was dying each time he performed the trick and being replaced by his copy, which only lived until the next time the trick was performed. In Jackman's obsession to win, he was willing to kill his original self. We are meant to think Jackman's character is creating copies and then quickly killing them, but he's really killing himself and creating a copy to take his place until the next iteration. By the end of the movie, he's long dead and only the copy of a copy of a copy... of himself remains, but that copy doesn't truly understand that it's a copy. That's what I was left with, anyway.

Apologies ahead of time for replying 2+yrs later lol… I can’t recall what I was watching but the one and only time I heard Teller’s voice was on a show where he (and other notable people/celebrities) would occasionally comment on whatever topic the show was covering. I didn’t really find it that odd to hear him speak necessarily but what was weird was that he never appeared on screen fully lit and was always in shadow though still clearly visible. I feel like I kind of understand the reasoning behind it but it still left me pretty puzzled. I wish I could remember what the show was about.

As he was being shown to the correct spot to stand the hypnotist said to him very quietly, "I'm a fake just play along." and he did. Apparently they count on the fact that the desire to not spoil the show is so strong everyone will cluck like a chicken when they're asked.

He tried to do a card trick that looked extremely complicated and impossible but in reality he was completely dependent on me just saying “yes that’s my card” to any card he showed afterwards. He did the trick and showed the card and asked me if it was, remember I was a child in school, and I simply said no it wasn’t. I remember him telling me to just agree with him as I was going up, but in my childhood attention span I had completely forgotten and just reacted. Completely killed his show.

The moral of the story heavily revolves around how that magic trick isn’t all that clever in the end. The movie is unbelievably brilliant in its meta story telling. It’s partly an allegory for all of Nolan’s films and films in general. That’s why at the end, Angier says that he just wants to see the look on people’s faces, even if for only a moment before they realize the trick is rather disappointing. The movie has other similar moral points it makes and is just brilliant.

Penn's emphasis on safety in the illusion of danger always makes me think of that one magician doing the knife-hidden-by-paper-tube trick. He brings up an audience member to have her hand under his so they slam down on the paper tube together. She's so terrified and resistive, and ends up intensely tugging her hand as he pushes down, so instead of the tube the magician knew to hit both their hands go to a wrong tube and get impaled by a real knife. The mistake itself was basically the audience member's doing, but still it was the magician's choices that enabled real harm to come out of it.

Penn's story about performing on SNL rings true. When I was a young stage actor, we were doing a comedy.

I didn't get through a single rehearsal without cracking. But when we performed for audiences, it was smooth like butter.

When you are the one doing it, you cant believe the crowd doesnt see you palming the card, or swapping the deck around. Everyones attention is drawn to the water chest full of "blood" so they dont see what you are actually doing. Its the most fun part of magic tricks, card tricks, etc for me. Is knowing how obvious the trick is and being amazed that people keep falling for it.

Performance under pressure is a real phenomenon in psychology but there's a big caveat: you have to be a pro already. In other words, if you are beginner or amateur, and you cannot perform in private, you will do worse under pressure (i.e., in front of an audience). However, if you are a professional with your 10,000 hours of experience--as Penn would have been--and you are put under pressure, you will perform better than in private.

Im not much of a magician, but after a couple months of youtube magic tutorials, I could bust about 80% of the Fool Us acts. Ive even hit some that they've missed; though thats likely because they just didn't want to bust them, or I guessed right on which one of multiple possible methods, that they just passed on.

What Penn was talking about was one of the themes of the film.
@FanboyFilms
@FanboyFilms 4 роки тому
Yeah, I wish Penn had talked about the plausibility of the actual point of the movie which is that the performer's ego wouldn't allow the act to be done with twins. Only he had the charisma to introduce the act which left the twin to soak up all the applause at the end, which he couldn't tolerate, leading him to search for a way to do the trick without twins. What Penn was talking about was the implausibility of that trick launching Christian Bale's character, and later Hugh Jackman's, to being the greatest magician in the land. He's just saying the audience wouldn't accept the trick at any rate because they'd quickly realize the only way to do it was with twins and once they realized that, the trick becomes easy and would no longer impress. Even if that's not how it was done.

The greatest trick is that he is a magician, when magic is only secondary. He is a great communicator. He makes u stop and listen. There can be no misdirection without attention.
@smward87
@smward87 2 роки тому
Yup that's the whole dynamic of his partnership with Teller. He's 6'6 and talks loudly and often times fastly, meanwhile 5'9 Teller is a mute performer. So all your focus is on the big loud obnoxious oaf (Penn's own words to describe himself during their act) and not the person doing the actual magic, which is of course Teller.
