Catching glasses with face
 
ok this has been viewed on youtube almost 2 million times but I only saw it today for the first time.

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-prfAENSh2k"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-prfAENSh2k" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Pretty crazy... how are they doing that? Backwards?

I think he has very powerful magnets implanted under the skin in his face that is pulling the specially made glasses to him, that or he is really Obi Wan...

I once had a woman throw a pair of drinking glass at my face...

Why am I not surprised by that statement? :laughout:

Seriously, anyone know how they did this one?

Really good videography? Illusionists? How does the Mind Freak guy do the stuff he does?
:huh:

You mean Chris Angel? Yes that guy is probably the best illusionist I have seen. And he does it right up close too.

I think this glasses thing is done in reverse, but very carefully. There seems to be no other way.

Chris Angel... Thanks... Couldn't think of the guys name when I wrote the post. That guy definitely does some pretty wild illusions.

As for these glasses guys, I have no idea. Your reverse theory is a pretty good one. It's like you watch the video a few times looking for some hint of how the trick might be done, but it just ends up leaving you with more questions.

Very perplexing video. Must have watched it 6-8 times. But, I think you are on to something with reverse video and editing theory! Hopefully someone will come across with the real answer! :confused:

I watched it a couple of times. No freaking way is what I keep thinking.

Cyndalie 05-21-2007 04:08 PM

No matter how they did it, these guys have way too much free time on their hands.

It was done alot easier than you think. The footage is rewound thats why there isnt much audio. Obviouisly pulling such things off in real life is impossible.
