All people love magic tricks, mostly because they don't understand how they work. After watching, people are eager to find out the secret of the trick, it is interesting in what way you were deceived in such a cunning way. Have you noticed what kind of pretentious magicians, obviously they take such a look to heighten the whipping up of mystery, but those who reveal their tricks have no less pretentious look, the most intelligent. And finally appeared on the Internet funny boys, who call themselves Gan and Pokerface Man, who show tricks themselves and then reveal their secrets. You will be surprised how simple everything is arranged, and a funny way of revealing secrets cannot but amuse.

A real magician knows how to distract attention and make the viewer doubt everything

Magicians almost never reveal the secrets of their tricks, many of which are arranged outrageously simple

After the trick, the first thing in our heads is the question: "Damn it! How did you do it?" This is why Gan and his friend Pokerface Man are here

These guys' short videos went viral, flying all over the internet.

Tricks are great, and only an imperturbable friend who reveals all the secrets at the end can be more fun.

Sleight of hand, no cheating and a little slap in the face

It's hard to choose which of the guys we like better, but their tandem, consisting of both magic tricks and their comedic disclosure, seems to us perfect.

Two guys from Asia run a blog about magic tricks that almost anyone can do - because those magic tricks never work. This is due to the negligent assistant who plays the role of a skeptic and at the same time reveals the secrets of street tricks, at the same time destroying all the "magic". Commentators even blame him for the fact that the magicians fail to properly record the video of the process itself - for some reason they love vertical shooting.

"Everyone has such a friend ..."

“In each good duet there is a certain type. "

Others rejoiced when he received the punishment he deserved - after all, perhaps the folding chair trick was not part of the script.

"The kick in the chair was the best moment."

"Great comedy."

And someone noted that the most important failure of this video about failures is that it was filmed vertically.

"Vertical ... and even if you score, stupid kids will never learn."

Among other things, the main mystery of the video - what kind of girl flashed for a second at the beginning - was also solved. According to the redditters, this is just a cover designed to grab the viewer's attention. But it also depicts a magician blogger - a girl from South Korea, known in certain circles for her talent for divination by Tarot cards.

But not all video magicians fail at their stunts. The London master, who always succeeds in tricks, and the audience is grateful to him. Although, perhaps this is because the magician gives the audience the results of his stunts. And an animator from the United States - to all of us before him, like David Blaine before Copperfield.

We introduced it to the listeners of Komsomolskaya Pravda radio as follows: “Hmayak Hakobyan, the famous magician, the son of the world famous magician-illusionist Harutyun Hakobyan” ...

Yes-ra-goy, Hmayak Hakobyan is not a magician, not an illusionist, - Amayak Arutyunovich disowned, - deputies and oligarchs show tricks here, I am just a baby compared to them. To find 10 billion in someone's house, I never had such a thing ... And I, first of all, an actor, director ... I starred, if you count with episodes, somewhere in 35-37 films, sometimes I played illusionists and wizards ... And these characters of mine demonstrate all sorts of tricks.

- Very clever, I must say!

But much more often in the movies I played villains, scoundrels and swindlers. And I did these roles much better.

- You have such a pleasant appearance ... Well, which of you a villain?

Ah, in life, and not only in the movies, scoundrels are often very charming people in appearance ... You know, it is easy and simple to play a positive character. Because everything is spelled out in the script: he has a white hat, white suit, white shoes, he is in love with a snow-white-green-eyed beauty ... Then this beauty is sure to be stolen by some scoundrel, a scoundrel, and the hero helps her out and destroys everything around in the name of this wonderful beautiful woman... And wins, of course! And with the scoundrels, everything is much more complicated. After all, a scoundrel will not be born a scoundrel, a swindler, a swindler. And to understand how he came to such a life is terribly interesting.

- And for such a role you need to be at least a little bit of the bastard? Or is it ...

Necessarily!

- You are so self-critical! What are you really?

Rather realistic! "A particle of the devil is in us sometimes!" Hmayak Hakobyan is actually a very boring person by nature ... I am a cheerful, cheerful clown and actor for the audience, on stage, on television, in the cinema. These are the roles I played quite often. And he has earned a reputation as a person from whom only jokes, tricks and fun are expected!

- Well, is that bad?

Good! And I have always tried to meet the expectations of the viewer! And then they began to offer me to play the roles of scoundrels, swindlers. Yura Kara was the first who offered me to play the villain-thimble-maker in the movie "Thieves in law". And then I played a vile bandit and a terrorist in Busy Bus. And the directors came to the conclusion that Hmayak Hakobyan, it turns out, has a negative charm, they should use it.

In am, the main trick is brilliantly successful: with such a train of images of scoundrels, remain a nice, cheerful person! And manage to cheer up the interlocutor in the most incredible situations! And another illusion - they say that you are 60 years old. We don’t believe it!

I want to answer in the unfading literary genre that Hmayak Hakobyan adores and, I dare to hope, the majority of humanity adores. A joke from my collection ...

The actor, a man, comes to the doctor, he examined him and asks: - Do you smoke? He says: - Yes, I smoke, since childhood and I smoke a lot. - Do you drink? - Yes, yes, since childhood I drink, drink, and I love, I love this business. The doctor says: - In vain, my friend, in vain, in vain ... because alcohol and nicotine cuts life in half. - Doctor, how is it? - Very simple, - the doctor answers, - how old are you now? -thirty. -O! It could have been 60!

- Oh, what are you hinting at?

Just dropping by this date! My friends, students congratulated me on my birthday, they called from Tbilisi, wishing me all the best and enchanting. And they presented such an anecdote.

Our days. Georgia. Two people break into the house, quickly fill the bags with various things - necessary and unnecessary. And suddenly they stumble upon a huge wineskin with wine. One says to another: - Listen, let's drink! - No, no, you can't, in no case! - Well, a little bit! - Well, a little bit, - says the judicious robber, - you can. We drank. -And now, says the first, let's sing. The second answers: - No, no, it is impossible that you ... The first: - Well, a little bit! Second: - A little bit, you can. They sang. And the first one again: - Now let's dance ... Second: - No, no, you can't ... First: - Well, a little bit ... - A little bit you can. They began to dance and sing. The owner wakes up, sees unfamiliar men in his house and exclaims: - There are guests in the house, and I am sleeping!

- Well, you are not asleep - here rushed to the editorial office ...

By the way, about running. Due to the date. A man comes to a sex therapist: - Doctor, you know, I am 80 years old, and I still run after girls. -So this is great! - the doctor rejoices. “Yes,” the patient agrees, “but I don’t remember why.

- Hmayak, we hope this anecdote is not about us!

Of course, not about us! About us, more precisely, about me - another. An actor comes to a sex therapist (Hmayak Hakobyan's favorite topic today!). Complains: - Doctor, you understand, when I have sex, I have such a whistle in my ears, doctor, such a whistle ... just a nightmare, horror ... Doctor: - My dear, how old are you? -80 yesterday it was, the anniversary was. Doctor: - Dear, what do you want - to be applauded at your age?

My friends, at any age an actor wants to be applauded!

- We applaud and rack our brains - why among your props "Komsomolskaya Pravda"?

So, regarding your question, the diamond of my heart ... Here Komsomolskaya Pravda congratulates Hmayak Hakobyan on his birthday. He is very fond of his favorite dates ... And he loves the newspaper ... My friends, this newspaper does not burn on fire, does not sink in water and any copper pipes can pass. Don't believe me? I'll prove it to you now. The simplest trick with your newspaper. Be kind a glass ... You will help me.

So, we take the Komsomol unspoiled reputation ... We turn the bag. Like this. Then we take a glass, throw the bag to the bottom and pour water ...

- He pours in there? (This is our photojournalist Ivan Makeev, who does not believe his eyes ... - A.G.)

- There is nothing there!

Here! Then we say the magic words “Sim, salabim, akhalai, mahalai, abracadabra” and take out a glass ... and drink to the health of Hmayak Hakobyan and are ready to show: “Komsomolskaya Pravda” remained unspoiled! And this will never happen to her. Well, this happens only with "Komsomolskaya Pravda", this trick cannot be shown with another newspaper. Will not work.

- We were sure of this, but still, how do you get a leaf out of the water dry?

Another would have kept silent, but I will tell you. Look. You will need any liquid. Coffee, tea ... "Coca-Cola" that we all hate ... A glass. The glass is almost magical. In fact, this is not one glass, in fact, there are two glasses. One is whole, unharmed, and the second glass is a little smaller, it enters the first one freely and exits ... It has no bottom. This trick is very easy to show for New Year's table, for example, or for festive table some hero of the day ... You insert one into the other and, as one, show. Then you take "Komsomolskaya Pravda" - because with another newspaper you will not be able to show this trick! - and here the main thing, of course, is magic spells. So, you roll up a pound, like this, a little bag ... you show your friends - it is empty. ...

Actually, Hmayak told in detail what and how to do with these glasses and a bag. How to pull out one, insert the other ... How and where to pour Ararat brandy. But. But! We will not describe this - because we still did not understand anything. Although the artist not only told, but also showed how the trick should be done. And if someone really wants to learn trick - watch the video. Right here and now!

And we - just congratulate the wonderful artist on his anniversary !!
