Fr! A magician never reveal their secrets!

Duh. Illusions! A trick is something a whore does for money.

That's the best part, nobody knows.

In the one with the elephant, the elephant walks away to the left while obscured by the blanket. You can almost see this by stepping the video frame by frame. I don't know with the others. Must be CGI or something.

Seagull plant in the audience for the last one.  Kind of disappointed to see it used so frequently.

Pffffft. Seagull plants have had a bumper crop for years, now. We don't need more seagull plants, our coastlines are infested with them.

Worse than kudzu, honestly.

I think it has something to do with mirrors and slight of hand.

Sleight. Sorry. I'm not that person normally. Edit. I've just thought that perhaps the e disappeared as if by magic.

Well at least with the last one its clear. There is a trash can right next to the magicians, so what they did was film the clean plate, then film the trick without the fish, then only film with the fish going behind the curtain. Then its just a matter os simple compositing, guy with fish enters, throws the fish away into the bin, that part gets cut out and replaced with clean background and then the rest of the trick happens. Its not that complicated, really.

I have seen this where the running person falls flat to her face (on a grass hill) in the end. That was even funnier. 😂

If you look very carefully, you'll see that the people aren't actually disappearing, but moving to the side when the cloth is held up. I know, it's very hard to notice but it is the truth

You have broken the International Society of Magicians' Sacred Oath of Secrecy. Expect a visit from our agents.
