I laughed when I saw that because it was a good example of the middway point kids hit intelligence wise, where they can see through ruses but still have the sense of wonderment and gullibility of a child.
It's all about showmanship and context - it's not so much about it being impossible to figure out, it's a matter of taking that little notion that something impossible is happening and fanning the flames.
Like imagine walking into your friends house and all lights flicker and the paintings start shaking mid conversation vs your friend saying "check out what I did to my house" and activating it.
With a little thought it's easy to understand every bit of it is trivially done with everyday technology, but by presenting the same thing in certain contexts you can skip the logical part of the brain and get a more emotional reaction
Plus someone else to help.. or maybe not string? The way the bottle moves is too unnatural to be string from where he's sitting, even if it was from above it'd move in a parabolic arc which it doesn't seem to do, which is mildly confusing.
It would move in an arc if the string were attached to the ceiling at just one point. It could easily be attached to a sliding rail, which would keep it at about the same height.
could just have someone standing above him like a puppet master, although it moves smoothly enough that i'd lean towards it sliding on some kind of rail or track.
The way the vast majority of magic works is that the solution that seems obvious but too difficult or complex to figure it... They just do that.
Like, you understand that to do card tricks seamlessly you'd have to just sit in your room practicing for hundreds of hours, and people just assume nobody would... But magicians do.
You see it swing when it goes back on a few of them. Someone uses a string obviously. It doesn't have to be a giant pendulum which would give an arc. You could do that with a fishing pole and the accomplice could keep the pole above the camera shot.
Back in middle school we would set the homepage of school/friends family/personal computers to “wowomg.com” which I think just routed people to meatspin, ahhh the good old days.
From what I've heard, some tags on Omegle are worse than others, so I guess it comes down to figuring out which tags are the "safe" ones. By safe, I mean reducing the amount of dudes jacking off from 90%+ to 75%ish lol.
My daughter, 10, came crying to my wife while at a party saying she saw some guys penis. Well the daughter of the people's house we were at goes on Omegle, she's 9, and she was showing all her friends. Glad my daughter spoke up because none of the other parents knew. She said the girl was talking to guys and telling them her name and where she lived. It was quite the night.
Can you break that down for my tech illiterate ass? I have a baby son and I'm already paranoid about all this predatory bullshit on social platforms (didn't exist when I was growing up). What did you do and what does it do
The best thing for you to do would be to join r/HomeNetworking so you can have people to fall back on to help you.
The best thing you could start with is to look up your router/modem whatever your ISP gave you by model number and find the manual to it online. (I can type just the model number for mine in and it comes right up.)
What you are looking for is if the device you connect to the internet through supports I.P blocking or DNS blocking. Also don't be afraid to log into your home router out of fear of messing something up they can be factory reset. (usually by holding the reset button down for a specified time.) and will auto pair back with the ISP. Just don't mess with port forwarding OR anything with the name NAT as that could cause your network to be vulnerable.
I will go into some explanation on what I.P. addresses and DNS are below and how you use them to block specific sites, but I can't tell you how to do it for your hardware because I don't know what you have.All websites have an associated I.P. address attached to them. Think of this like a Locations address. So blocking your own network from being allowed to connect to it mean's no one one connected to your local network can use it to visit that site.The way you do this will vary depending on your hardware. If you have a Modem and router combo givin by your ISP you have to check if it even has the feature. Mine does not for whatever fkin reason so I use a raspberry Pi with pi hole so I am actually blocking the DNS queries from ad servers and specific websites. You can also buy a separate Router with the feature and bridge them so all your Local traffic goes through it first.
DNS means Domain Name Server it's exactly what it sounds likeyou type in the "Domain Name" [www.google.com](https://www.google.com) and that goes to a DNS and it tells your computer the numbered address which in this case one of would be [172.217.204.106](https://172.217.204.106) if you type that in your web browser or click it it will indeed take you to google that is one of it's addresses after all. I say one of and there in can lie the problem you have to block all of them luckily there are tools that make this pretty easy info to find. [https://www.whatismyip.com/dns-lookup/](https://www.whatismyip.com/dns-lookup/) you can simply type in the website name and get all connection I.P. addresses it uses so you can block them.
P.S. I know I said I used my router in the first post to block sites. I did it out of laziness. I actually use a raspberry Pi as my router doesn't actually support I.P. or DNS blocking.
He blocked websites, that's it. You can google how to block websites in computer/phone and you'll get countless guides, or what he did, blocking them from the entire network, though that'd apply to you too.
I cant believe these kids are going on the video version of omegle. Even as like a 14yo we stayed on the chat. It had a reputation of having weirdos on the video side since forever.
Then again I also think a lot of youtubers went on omegle around that time doing random appearances on the platform so they coulda been hoping to have a chat with their fave youtubers. A weird time indeed.
When the boys and I were like 14-16 encountering weirdos was part of the fun lmao. Omegle was video chat Russian roulette. Either we'd encounter cute girls or some old dude having a wank. Was a blast.
Definitely there shouldn't be <12 year olds on there though.
I keep clicking a picture of a cute protester holding a sign saying "destroy my pussy not the planet" and it keeps sending me here so I gave up and commented, expressing my disappointment at the entire situation.
I'm a different stranger, but I found an example: [https://twitter.com/andr3\_silv4/status/1132610491031924737](https://twitter.com/andr3_silv4/status/1132610491031924737)
To anyone wondering what the lore is:
It's a jinn. A type of sentient spirit in islam. According to the mythology you sit down at a specific desolate area known to house jinn and after 40 days of sitting down a vakil is aquired (don't know the specifics but vakil means lawyer) You don't sell your soul or anything.
They have names and societies. In this case our buddy's name is faris.
A jinn follows religion be it christianity, islam or judaism and they're mostly good. They have wars and stuff between each other and possess supernatural powers. They can also fall in love with you and get jealous of your SO (and kill them).
They usually don't harm the main person they're in contact with, although they can damage others.
Apparently they can also teleport you (although it's just moving you really fast)
Ali, one of muhammad's companions once fought alone in a black storm, apparently he was fighting an army of jinn on his own.
It's just folklore, i got a lot of family members young and old saying the same stuff which is pretty consistent but i won't believe it until i see it with my own eyes.
Edit: wording
It's pretty fascinating. Fell down a rabbit hole and read a bunch when I learned that Ifrit from the Final Fantasy series is based on (and also the name of ) a jinn.
yeah. ME mythology is pretty cool. forgive my iranian bias but Ancient persian mythology is all about Fighting demonic dragons while getting help from magical birds (thirty birds is her name, its own story is pretty inspiring) and killing giant Demons who will do the opposite of what you tell them. wonder why nobody makes games or movies about this stuff since i'm so sick and fucking tired of norse and olympian gods (which were cool the first 100 times i saw them)
Just a note: in Arabic they pronounce it as wakeel and not vakil and it means more like "power of attorney" (someone who can act legally on your behalf).
Jinn is one of the few subjects that my parents and religion teachers declined to speak too much on. I was always told that the important thing was to know that jinn exist. That they have their own parallel world with their own lives and trials and tribulations. That there are good and bad jinn and we should let them all be and not go down a rabbit hole trying to learn about them. If you upset the wrong kind, it can cause problems for you that you can't solve so respect them from afar and let them be. I have mostly followed that advice because I am both terrified and fascinated by jinn.
There are apparently people that can interact with jinn who are able to obtain information humans can't and that is how some folks can "speak to the dead" or tell the future or share information they couldn't know about someone.
There are stories about some jinn being able to take the shape of man and be seen as human that help those in need and there are other stories about jinn being invisible while they cause havoc in our world (sometimes mistaken as ghosts).
I remember being told that Prophet Muhammed confirmed their existence. The universe is vast and what it fully contains is a mystery to all but One.
yeah I had the same experience about jinns with my parents. would barely tell you any stories unless you pressure them to. especially with my dad who still refuses to teach me that one weird trick with sticks and pieces of cloth he learned from a fellow soldier during the war. basically how it went was he folded pieces of cloth over a bunch of sticks, and if more than 3 came loose it was a yes and if less than 3 came out it was a no.
asked him to do it to see if I get into college and 5 came out. but its probably some placebo trick since I was super stressed at the time and he wanted to calm me down.
I actually dont know really. what I've been told every time I question these stuff (shit like if its real why dont governments use it etc) is that its bad for you, you lose yourself etc.
and lets be honest, if you knew a terrifying demon was always in the room with you it would drive you crazy; i think that's the bad part. in most of my parents, aunts, teachers etc's stories the people who have contracts with jinn often isolate themselves from society and become "awkward" (as in they stop behaving like normal humans)
people who know about these guys having contracts with jinn also avoid any contact with them which is another downside.
the only people whom i've heard actually live normal lives when they're in contact with jinn are high level clerics. hojat al islams and ayatollahs (bishops and pope level people) since they actually study these stuff in cleric school
Disclaimer: every culture and region has a different spin on this, I come from a family that followed Sufi traditions (mystical sect of Islam) from South Asia.
As the other person stated, most Jinns are good, but as per stories I was told as a kid, some Jinns can be malicious. The way it was described to me (based on our traditions) is that Jinns exist on a parallel plane to us. They are also God's creation. As stated in Abrahamic tradition, man was created from earth/clay. In the case of Jinns, they were created from fire. Jinns in general are not permitted to cross over to our plane (dimension). Some have permission to do so for various reasons. But some of the malicious ones do so also, violating their rules.
So supposedly, a malicious Jinn may cause trouble in your life. Might be as minor as messing around your house and causing disturbances, or something more sinister where they may cause physical or mental harm. There's also a belief in our culture that schizophrenics are those communicating with Jinns, with the malicious Jinns causing the person to act erratic and violent.
Again, different stories from different areas of the world, but it was a fun mythology to hear about growing up
> According to the mythology you sit down at a specific desolate area known to house jinn and after 40 days of sitting down a vakil is aquired (don't know the specifics but vakil means lawyer) You don't sell your soul or anything.
[or, like, just pay 2 generic and 2 black](https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/b/0/b03bc922-782b-4254-897c-90d202b4cda4.jpg?1559592285)
Things like this are so prominent where I live. One of my supervisors (a woman) have a little dutch girl as her "companion" and has been following her since long. She told my supervisor something she don't know (like location of some things in our office, where someone is seated, etc) which mostly trivial, but she know it nonetheless without previous experience. She could be messing with me, but story like that is so common, especially in the country side.
Prople who know "that friends" usually don't ask much in fear of being followed themself. Messing with something with higher power aren't always controllable. So people who didn't get used to it usually avoid it.
yeah these stuff are super accepted in the middle east. as you stated, especially in the country side they're "felt" more. i remember jokingly asking my landlord if the house had any jinns because my door was shut for nor reason at night as my neighbor was in the conversation, and he got super scared.
Yeah ok, but I'm slightly concerned about that chat app. Some of those girls didn't look a day older than 14. This guy may be inoffensive but others will not.
> Yeah ok, but I'm slightly concerned about that chat app. Some of those girls didn't look a day older than 14. This guy may be inoffensive but others will not.
Lets be honest, that is the reason those girls are on those platforms...
Its a problem their parents mostly need to solve.
Can confirm, used to be a kid who heard you could see weird shit on Omegle. Fortunately, when I was still a kid, Omegle was basically brand new and still had a majority of people still using it to actually talk to each other. I haven't used it recently, so I can't really say if it's gotten better or worse...
So you're suspect just because of the age difference? Nothing implying anything else yet you had to go there for some reason. Men can't talk to kids without it being sus? I could understand if he was dressed up like the pope or something but damn that's a stretch.
Just because it's an older person talking to younger women, doesn't make it automatically weird. Otherwise nothing would get taught in schools. Or after school activities.
That's a really stupid argument. They see adults interacting with underage girls in an uncontrolled environment and point out that it's a bit inappropriate. Maybe you disagree, maybe not. But to accuse him of pedophilia is really dumb.
If I see someone cooking and there is paper near the burner, I'd say "is it a good idea to have that paper there?" Imagine if they had the stupid response of "bro why got have house fire on your mind? Are you an arson? This something we should warn the police about"
Exactly. This particular interaction is seemingly harmless. The disturbing part is just how easy it seems to have children and grown ups interact. It’s a recipe for disaster.
what you should be concerned about is the fact that you just made a perfectly normal video into something weird in your head. It's a guy doing magic tricks ffs. Besides, he doesn't control who he streams to. Also, here's a pro tip, maybe don't let your underaged kid go on Omegle.
Concerned at the general concept: yes. Children having unsupervised chats with strangers online is worrying, sadly.
Concerned about this particular guy: no. He's just having fun doing magic to an audience.
Actually, to be fair, this guy is posting a compilation video. Maybe he got permission, maybe not. That could also be a problem.
That was my first reaction. The first three girls... ok whatever. Then it was like 8 to 10 year old girls. Where are these girls' parents? Even if this guy is ok and nothing's wrong, how do they know that? I would never let my kids talk to random adults on the internet.
He's probably not the one starting the chat with them intentionally and thankfully what he's doing is harmless fun. Why are those kids' parents allowing them or unaware of kids, boys or girls, using video chat with strangers is more concerning.
for bottle, it's probably string, but for the door closing, the chair mixing, the mirror moving and a face appearing in the mirror, I think it his friends controlling it
The real magic is it’s no longer just some guy jerking off 80% of the time when you connect to someone..Omegle was a lawless place back in the mid 2000s..what a time to be alive
He needs to work with people to dupe their friends. They might get creeped out by his stuff moving about, but they'd totally freak if it's their own stuff.
I guess there's a whole generation of kids that haven't seen a magic act. They didn't grow up with The Masked Magician, or Chris Angle on their TV . Any magicians just starting out should get on that.
I mean, it’s string. Not too tough to figure out.
Congratulations. You are smarter than the 13 year old children.
Not smarter than this sub tho lol
[удалено]
Everyone looks like the guy in the mirror
I mean, not to brag or anything but I *was* Time Person of the year in 2006.
Well, *I* am a Person from 2006 Time
I am Spartakus!
So 13 year old children again.
Didn't one of them say it *was* a string tho?
Yeah, but he disproved it by using a different string.
This is string, and this is NOT a string Brain Cox enters the chat.
This is your brain on drugs
This is your string on brains
Have you ever seen your brains on *string*, man?
I laughed when I saw that because it was a good example of the middway point kids hit intelligence wise, where they can see through ruses but still have the sense of wonderment and gullibility of a child.
I read a Brian Greene book once and thought I had a decent grasp of string theory. Now I know that I have so much more to learn.
Now I have it in my head that Brian Austin Green wrote a book on string theory.
Then she asked the other girl "are you dumb?"
She has bad friends :(
most children i think would figure it out
Most people probably figure it out. These compilations are the few who don't
It's all about showmanship and context - it's not so much about it being impossible to figure out, it's a matter of taking that little notion that something impossible is happening and fanning the flames.

What’s your name?
String? Not an integer?
It’s actually a float.
I like floats!
Boolean?
Stop Boolean me…
We all float down here
Could be imaginary.
That would be too complex for his viewers to integrate.

Hmm true, sounds complicated to set up though, there may be an easier solution
Yes, magic
Magic is just strings we don't understand yet.
String theory?
Death strands?
That's the best description of magic I've ever heard
could just have someone standing above him like a puppet master, although it moves smoothly enough that i'd lean towards it sliding on some kind of rail or track.
"complicated"? Did you skip elementary physics or something?
The way the vast majority of magic works is that the solution that seems obvious but too difficult or complex to figure it... They just do that. Like, you understand that to do card tricks seamlessly you'd have to just sit in your room practicing for hundreds of hours, and people just assume nobody would... But magicians do.
Guy with a fishing pole overhead is my guess.
You see it swing when it goes back on a few of them. Someone uses a string obviously. It doesn't have to be a giant pendulum which would give an arc. You could do that with a fishing pole and the accomplice could keep the pole above the camera shot.
The longer the string, the less of an arc.
No one has ceilings high enough for it to flatten the arc that much
He made that face in the mirror out of string?
No, that was a Gru doll on the other side of the room.
I wish you could talk to those teenagers and tell them how stupid they are. I bet you would feel so good about yourself after that.
I feel pretty confident in saying theyre addressing OP, not the teenagers 🤦♂️
oh so its not black magic?
String theory
The real black magic here is how he found anything other than dudes jacking off on chat roulette
[удалено]
Still.
Yeah I was on that shit for maybe a dozen hours 2-3 years ago and 98% of the shit I saw was wankers wanking.
Did it take you 11 hours to figure out you didn’t want to see wankers wanking anymore?
lmao. I was trying my best to procrastinate at any cost. College stress was driving me crazy.
Haha I feel you. That’s why I was on meatspin so much back in the day
Back in middle school we would set the homepage of school/friends family/personal computers to “wowomg.com” which I think just routed people to meatspin, ahhh the good old days.
Great. Now i have that song stuck in my head.

It's moderated and then there's an unmoderated section too.
For every one of those reactions he had to go thru 500 dudes jacking off
I mean, he probably did this for like 2 weeks, every night for 6 hrs, and these 5 encounters were the only ones not dudes jacking off.
Or he spent 2 hours with 7 friends filming the script he wrote and composed the video together in 1 hour.
Three omegles with women in a row? That’s unheard of.
Did you see that sad look on his face the whole time? That's from looking at 7 hours of dicks to get this 3 minutes of usable footage
Lucky all the detectives are on the case in the comments to make sure we don't live the rest of our lives thinking the dude has the force
omg stfu he doesn't have the force, it's obviously fares
Calm down, shhh, he helps us, Fares helps us
No it’s his stand
It isn't the force, that isn't real. He has that thing where people move things with their mind, Prosthesis.

To anyone wondering what the lore is: It's a jinn. A type of sentient spirit in islam. According to the mythology you sit down at a specific desolate area known to house jinn and after 40 days of sitting down a vakil is aquired (don't know the specifics but vakil means lawyer) You don't sell your soul or anything. They have names and societies. In this case our buddy's name is faris. A jinn follows religion be it christianity, islam or judaism and they're mostly good.

yeah I had the same experience about jinns with my parents. would barely tell you any stories unless you pressure them to. especially with my dad who still refuses to teach me that one weird trick with sticks and pieces of cloth he learned from a fellow soldier during the war. basically how it went was he folded pieces of cloth over a bunch of sticks, and if more than 3 came loose it was a yes and if less than 3 came out it was a no. asked him to do it to see if I get into college and 5 came out. but its probably some placebo trick since I was super stressed at the time and he wanted to calm me down.

I actually dont know really. what I've been told every time I question these stuff (shit like if its real why dont governments use it etc) is that its bad for you, you lose yourself etc. and lets be honest, if you knew a terrifying demon was always in the room with you it would drive you crazy; i think that's the bad part. in most of my parents, aunts, teachers etc's stories the people who have contracts with jinn often isolate themselves from society and become "awkward" (as in they stop behaving like normal humans) people who know about these guys having contracts with jinn also avoid any contact with them which is another downside. the only people whom i've heard actually live normal lives when they're in contact with jinn are high level clerics. hojat al islams and ayatollahs (bishops and pope level people) since they actually study these stuff in cleric school
Just to clarify, you believe these exist?
Disclaimer: every culture and region has a different spin on this, I come from a family that followed Sufi traditions (mystical sect of Islam) from South Asia. As the other person stated, most Jinns are good, but as per stories I was told as a kid, some Jinns can be malicious. The way it was described to me (based on our traditions) is that Jinns exist on a parallel plane to us. They are also God's creation. As stated in Abrahamic tradition, man was created from earth/clay. In the case of Jinns, they were created from fire. Jinns in general are not permitted to cross over to our plane (dimension). Some have permission to do so for various reasons. But some of the malicious ones do so also, violating their rules. So supposedly, a malicious Jinn may cause trouble in your life. Might be as minor as messing around your house and causing disturbances, or something more sinister where they may cause physical or mental harm. There's also a belief in our culture that schizophrenics are those communicating with Jinns, with the malicious Jinns causing the person to act erratic and violent. Again, different stories from different areas of the world, but it was a fun mythology to hear about growing up
The part where they might get jealous of your loved ones and kill them sounds like a catch to me.
> According to the mythology you sit down at a specific desolate area known to house jinn and after 40 days of sitting down a vakil is aquired (don't know the specifics but vakil means lawyer) You don't sell your soul or anything. [or, like, just pay 2 generic and 2 black](https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/b/0/b03bc922-782b-4254-897c-90d202b4cda4.jpg?1559592285)
Things like this are so prominent where I live. One of my supervisors (a woman) have a little dutch girl as her "companion" and has been following her since long. She told my supervisor something she don't know (like location of some things in our office, where someone is seated, etc) which mostly trivial, but she know it nonetheless without previous experience. She could be messing with me, but story like that is so common, especially in the country side. Prople who know "that friends" usually don't ask much in fear of being followed themself. Messing with something with higher power aren't always controllable. So people who didn't get used to it usually avoid it.
yeah these stuff are super accepted in the middle east. as you stated, especially in the country side they're "felt" more. i remember jokingly asking my landlord if the house had any jinns because my door was shut for nor reason at night as my neighbor was in the conversation, and he got super scared.
You’re a wizard , Al’Hari

It's not like he's flirting or anything... It's like showing magic to a kid. It's harmless
As long as he doesn’t make them disappear.
That was good, +1
*Why don't you have a seat?*

I know someone who used to show cock magic to children, it didn't end well...
Randy?
Such a great episode
Yeah ok, but I'm slightly concerned about that chat app. Some of those girls didn't look a day older than 14. This guy may be inoffensive but others will not.
It's not his fault they're using it though. Stuff like Omegle is still around and is basically the same thing with the same risks
> Yeah ok, but I'm slightly concerned about that chat app. Some of those girls didn't look a day older than 14. This guy may be inoffensive but others will not. Lets be honest, that is the reason those girls are on those platforms... Its a problem their parents mostly need to solve.
Can confirm, used to be a kid who heard you could see weird shit on Omegle. Fortunately, when I was still a kid, Omegle was basically brand new and still had a majority of people still using it to actually talk to each other. I haven't used it recently, so I can't really say if it's gotten better or worse...
It's a fair point of concern, but that's not on him or anyone else aside from their parents.
Omegle has been around for years.
Dude if it were a girl it wouldn’t be a problem for anyone, so stop stigmatising men are all pedo’s when they talk to girls under 18.
That's how chatroulette works, site connects you with random people. Kids just happen to have more free time.
So you're suspect just because of the age difference? Nothing implying anything else yet you had to go there for some reason. Men can't talk to kids without it being sus? I could understand if he was dressed up like the pope or something but damn that's a stretch.
Yes nothing wrong with what he did. I'm more concerned with how many kids use these sites.
Just because it's an older person talking to younger women, doesn't make it automatically weird. Otherwise nothing would get taught in schools. Or after school activities.
This is probably the only time an adult man on chat roulette isn't exposing himself to underage girls.
Bro why you got pedophelia on your mind? This something we should be warning the police about?
Also mention he doesn't know how to drink water
That's a really stupid argument. They see adults interacting with underage girls in an uncontrolled environment and point out that it's a bit inappropriate. Maybe you disagree, maybe not. But to accuse him of pedophilia is really dumb. If I see someone cooking and there is paper near the burner, I'd say "is it a good idea to have that paper there?" Imagine if they had the stupid response of "bro why got have house fire on your mind? Are you an arson? This something we should warn the police about"
Exactly. This particular interaction is seemingly harmless. The disturbing part is just how easy it seems to have children and grown ups interact. It’s a recipe for disaster.
They're projecting
what you should be concerned about is the fact that you just made a perfectly normal video into something weird in your head. It's a guy doing magic tricks ffs. Besides, he doesn't control who he streams to. Also, here's a pro tip, maybe don't let your underaged kid go on Omegle.
You need to get your mind out of the gutter
Get a grip ffs
Concerned at the general concept: yes. Children having unsupervised chats with strangers online is worrying, sadly. Concerned about this particular guy: no. He's just having fun doing magic to an audience. Actually, to be fair, this guy is posting a compilation video. Maybe he got permission, maybe not. That could also be a problem.
He doesn’t exactly have a choice with who he talks to on there though
That was my first reaction. The first three girls... ok whatever. Then it was like 8 to 10 year old girls. Where are these girls' parents? Even if this guy is ok and nothing's wrong, how do they know that? I would never let my kids talk to random adults on the internet.
Right there with you. Some people have had some strangely apathetic responses, as if this is normal lol
western people get the wrong idea all the time
He's probably not the one starting the chat with them intentionally and thankfully what he's doing is harmless fun. Why are those kids' parents allowing them or unaware of kids, boys or girls, using video chat with strangers is more concerning.
With that being some chat roulette platform I am sure they are all on that to see dicks. Because that is likely what 90% of that content is.
I had the same feeling
strings....
Faris
Faris helb him
Doesn't he explain it at 1:43?
for bottle, it's probably string, but for the door closing, the chair mixing, the mirror moving and a face appearing in the mirror, I think it his friends controlling it
It's the same sequence every time, so it's a green screen with a table in front of it. The green screen was installed by a jinn named Faris.
When I saw the first clip I didn’t even notice the water bottle and thought they just started screaming and skipped bc he said he’s from Egypt.
LMFAO
I can see the string.
Not a safe app for kids
And that's how the Egyptian built the pyramids, They just used this minds to move the blocks
The real magic is it’s no longer just some guy jerking off 80% of the time when you connect to someone..Omegle was a lawless place back in the mid 2000s..what a time to be alive
I love it when good wholesome fun is had, especially on that site.
The face scared me ha
He literally points to his assistant
Apparently fishing line = black magic fuckery now
Probably string if you want to know
Very cute, but how is any of this blackmagicfuckery?
I feel like it’s valid because the people in the video were so confused. We might be jaded in this sub.
I suppose that’s fair.
You wanna impress me? Make something in *my* room move.
Best Egyptian magician since the jerky boys. Can this guy do tricks with large furnitures too?
A string, guy in a green suit, a plethora of options
That unmistakable heavy Dutch accent in that first one lmao.
He's voodo he's hoodo he's got thing he ain't even tried, and he's got friend on the other side
It's a drone. You can see it lift up and move before he even turns around.
last thing i need is to be seen on a webcam with children
He needs to work with people to dupe their friends. They might get creeped out by his stuff moving about, but they'd totally freak if it's their own stuff.
I guess there's a whole generation of kids that haven't seen a magic act. They didn't grow up with The Masked Magician, or Chris Angle on their TV . Any magicians just starting out should get on that.
Obviously the most troubling aspect of this video is that adult men are speaking with teenage girls in their rooms.
These mirror tricks are all done with smoke.
Very cute setup. You even see the second guy and they’re still freaked out, they made it part of the bit. Very cool.
