Maybe it's obvious to everyone, but in case it isn't, look closely at the seam that he keeps moving things along right after each camera cut; the seam doesn't align perfectly until he's done moving things. That's where the extra pieces come from and how they go back in. He's swapping pieces of tile with each camera cut.

I saw Mr Wizard do that with one of those dumb kids on his show about 25 years ago.  It's nothing new.

This is like that chocolate bar thing posted in the in the other thread.



aka the impossible triangle:

Live action version of this?

at :56 the middle seams are not lined up just after pulling them out of the box when they were lined up, not coincidentally after the camera cut but because of the camera cut.  the cut then happens again at 2:34 as he's pulling them out of the box.  this is where the 'magic' happens.

and yeah, this is a great reminder of that other thread.  it was still neat to see once before the lifting the curtain.

also funny how he disabled comments on his youtube link.

I was all set to call it a miracle and believe in God until YOU people come in here with your logic and science stuff.

//neat trick, hadn't seen that one before.

Was the kid okay?

mysticcat: Banking is magic?

Metaphor for exploitation of finite resources.

Subby thinks he is clever or something.

//repeats and repeats and repeats

That works only because bankers don't know geometry.

I still think it's magic.

It's real to me goddamnit!

I don't believe what other Farkers are posting here about shapes and stuff.

/What is this geometry thingy that everyone keeps talking about?
