I'm sure he is a great magician and it's possible that he is not using "camera tricks." However, when the producer/editor constantly uses camera cuts in the middle of each trick you can't help but feel cheated. Not amazed.

If you want viewers to feel the magic, you have to shoot it in one continuous shot.

It says that "no camera tricks are used" at the beginning, but there are no explanations or not even hints to the tricks done and It really seems like there are camera tricks used all the time every time everywhere. If you want to make a series about magic tricks, you have to successfully separate that from a sci-fi movie. I can't see any difference here. What reference do I have that there really is some illusion done successfully? If you want to do you magic tricks and you don't want do reveal the secrets of them, the audience must, I'm saying again, the audience "MUST" be there so that the tricks done "MEANS" something. If you are doing those on a TV show, you are going to have to prove somehow those are not camera tricks otherwise I would watch Star Wars instead. I suggest you to watch some Derren Brown shows to get some kind of an Idea for how to do this. And the "you" I am referring here is not the reader, It's the Drummond Money-Coutts!

Money has a cool persona and carries himself in an entertaining believable fashion but I don't understand why they start the show with the disclaimer that "there are no camera tricks and everything is real," when anyone can tell there are camera tricks at work here. This entire show is based on cinematography as they show clips of whatever city he is in, and clearly every person who he performs a trick form is coached by someone where to stand and what type of look to give etc. kind of entertaining but I don't know how they can be proud of boldly stating there is no illusions or camera tricks when there is.

I can't tell if the audience is fake or not but it's fishy how in one episode someone in the audience was from another Netflix show

So lame, drama queen surrounded by what looks to be fake audience or bad actors or both. Nothing to see here.. Oh, he just cut his hand and I think he is crying :( That's it, two episodes is too much.

The close up tricks are very poor, they are standard and you may have seen these a hundred times. The big illusions are in my opinion all camera tricks with paid audience.

Watch the crowd of so called witnesses to the magic. Not one of them move their feet. ever. It's like they would have not got paid if they did. And all that dumb dialogue from the crowd "oh no" '" someone save that man" " I can't watch" (what, were they wearing secret microphones or something). As for the magic. It's a disgrace to the magicians the show is suppose to pay homage to. The first magic escape trick of being locked in a trunk on the tracks with a train coming showing a countdown clock on screen of 60 seconds is terrible. Watch the shadows. Sometimes the shadow is behind the trunk, then just to the side casting a 1 foot shadow and then the train comes and the shadow jumps out to 6 feet long. I estimate that 60 second trick took 45 minutes to complete. Complete insult to anyone's intelligence. All the tricks had the same fake crowd reactions (and no feet movement) and continuity flaws. Even when tied to a stake and about to be set alight, the wood pile at his feet changes between takes. The street magic also showed poor fakery and stooges as the shadows, people and objects in the background moved and changed due to camera jumps. There was no spontaneity at all. You felt totally cheated.

It can be entertaining to watch but it's WAY over dramatic with things that we've all seen before or when we know he's obviously not in danger. I understand a bit of suspense for atmosphere but this was another level of intelligence-insulting drama. He also tries to pay homage to other magicians by doing things they died doing which is pretty cool. But sometimes he changes it completely while making it seem like he's doing the same thing but because he changes it, there really wasn't any danger. That's kind of a slap in the face to the other people who died doing it by acting so dramatic about doing the same dangerous thing. when you're not. Also, many times the people in the background act like background actors in a Sitcom. It's like they were told to ignore the fact that there are cameras and a guy doing magic and just act natural. It made it feel less genuine. At one point he interrupts a couple eating at a restaurant and says he's doing magic. When he goes and sits back with the other couple he's doing the trick for (2 feet away) the other couple don't even act interested or try to see what he's doing. If you like magic you might like this but don't expect too much greatness here.

Just enjoy the show! I feel like the other reviewers are just looking for something to be wrong as opposed to just enjoying the wonder. I bing watched the whole season and liked every second of it.

If you study anything to long or expect to be disappointed then you probably will be.

I put this on just to have in the background while I fiddle on my computer, but was totally amazed with the train escape. I'm not a magician or anyone that special, I don't care if its editing or camera tricks, we all know he's not a sorcerer, it's just slight of hand and distraction. He fooled me and hes quite cleaver at his presentations. Bravo Drummund. Good Job

Don't like the format and don't like the host so not off to a good start. Same old sleight of hand tropes used to lead up to recreations of infamous escapology tricks that have gone wrong in the past. That aside the biggest issue for me is the magician. He has a terrible double barrelled name, dresses like a banker and just oozes privilege which is not what I want from a magician. Wouldn't surprise me if he funded the production of this show himself. Stick to parties and social events for the UK elite and leave TV to like of Dynamo and David Blaine

This show is good. It may or may not be fake but that doesn't actually matter. Is entertaining as hell.

First episode when he curls paper up and makes lollies appear, you can see it move out of the shot and then wobble as someone fills the cone of paper. The kids must have seen it. Stooges used for sure.

The escape stunts are bs. For example, the part when he is trapped inside a car filled with water and he has to try to get him self out. And his assistants raise a curtain over the car so you cant see how he physically gets out. Thats not a stunt and its not magic. Thats a choreographed show. The WWE is to the UFC ..just as Coutts is to Blaine

I don't know how he does it, his stunts are fantastic and his tricks are. tricks? My mind is a pretzel trying to figure out how he accomplishes these things. Nonetheless I don't want to know because that is truly what fascinates me. however I am convinced he does astral travel or something like it because what he does is honestly out of this world. I would even put him ahead of David Blaine. He keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. great accent, demeanor, and dignity not at all cocky- what more could you want. 😊

Reviews for "Transforming Lives: How Learning Magic on YouTube Can Boost Confidence"

1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic magy youtuge". The content just seemed unoriginal and uninspiring. The host didn't have good chemistry with the guests and the magic tricks were predictable. I was hoping for something unique and mind-blowing, but it fell short. I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone looking for quality magic entertainment.

2. Alex - 1 star - "Magic magy youtuge" was a complete waste of time for me. The host seemed more interested in promoting himself than actually performing magic. The tricks were poorly executed and lacked any wow factor. It felt like a cheap imitation of other popular magic shows. Save your time and skip this one.

3. Sarah - 3 stars - I had mixed feelings about "Magic magy youtuge". While some of the tricks were impressive, there were a lot of filler segments that didn't add much value. The host's humor felt forced and didn't land well with the audience. If you're a die-hard fan of magic, you might find some enjoyment in this show, but it didn't live up to my expectations.

4. Michael - 2 stars - "Magic magy youtuge" failed to captivate me. The host lacked charisma and failed to create a sense of wonder. The tricks were executed poorly, with visible sleight of hand that made everything feel staged. The pacing was also off, with unnecessary delays and interruptions. Overall, I was not entertained and would not recommend this show to others.
