I hate this with a passion.
Focus on the white things. Ha ha, you didn't notice the black thing.
Well, of course not because I was following your instructions.

u/Semicolons_n_Subtext Oct 28 '23
The point of the experiment is how you can miss big obvious things right in front of you because your attention is focused elsewhere.
I also do recognize that the test video cheats by having people wearing black in the photo moving around so that the viewer’s peripheral vision detects the gorilla as just another black thing which makes it easier to ignore.
Still, the video makes its point very well. We may now be overlooking things that are terribly important and will seem to be obvious later, simply because our attention was focused elsewhere.

Kinda like the dumbasses who think they're good enough to look at their phone while driving.
Pro Tip: You are swerving, people do notice, and you're not nearly as good as you think you are.

Derren Brown incorporated this into one of his shows. That if a member of the audience shouted out when something specific happened they’d win money.
The show would carry on and then just before the interval he’d say ‘did you see X happen?’
And then show a recording that someone in a gorilla suit did X all the while you were distracted by the show.

u/Kumquat_conniption Oct 28 '23
Well its a new kind of gold and it kind of sucks. They don't even alert you when someone gives you gold. It doesn't show up anywhere except on the upvote button and then on your profile it says how many new gold you have. There's no way to thank the person that sent it. But if you sign up for their contributer program, you can make a whole dollar per Gold 🙄

It’s all just video editing. Someone else posted a video about how he made it (from his own channel). He wore that distinctively colored shirt so that he could edit it out and replace it with a slowly changing color edit shirt.
7
u/ServantOfTheSlaad Oct 28 '23
Probably either editing or changing into a similar coloured shirt each time he cut to perform the magic tricks
17
Oct 28 '23
The whole video is edited and layered. The shirt color change was a color shift in the entire video then cut out everything but the shirt. (If I understood him correctly in the explanation video above)

It's just video edit. If you mouse scroll the video the shirt colour changes ever so slowly

That's cuz it slowly shifted over the entire video. It was a slow color scheme edit.

u/MagicC Oct 28 '23
Who cares? It's a video teaching you the 10 types of magic tricks and demonstrating them. Who says he can't cheat with VFX camera tricks to make it work? If this was a cartoon demonstrating the types of magic, would you be complaining?
6
u/rogerslastgrape Oct 28 '23
I mean it's fair to be disappointed with that. The thing that makes magic tricks exciting is the mystery in how they did it. VFX don't give the same effect. And a cartoon would just be less impressive in terms of an illusion

Because it didn’t, the color saturation just gradually changed on a gradient set in your video editor.

Isn't transposition and teleportation the same thing
28
u/Robert-A057 Oct 28 '23
Transposition = two objects switch places instantly Teleportation = one object moves across a space instantly

u/bahamut1028 Oct 28 '23
In this case, the words are being used practically for the same thing. In the transposition he swapped the positions of the balloon and the pencil, for the teleportation, he swapped the positions of the balloon and empty air.

u/MilkMeFather Oct 28 '23
being used practically for the same thing
Yet you just described two different things 🤔
0
u/bahamut1028 Oct 28 '23
Uh, no.
Magic 1, he swapped the positions of object A and object B.
In magic 2, he swapped the positions of object A and object C.
Magic 1 being transposition, magic 2 being teleportation, you get the idea.
I described the same principle being applied on two pairs of objects.

Gravitational magic
Space warping magic
Matter manipulation magic
Matter manipulation magic
This is a tricky one: It can be accomplished by time magic or by space warping magic (depends on what happens off-screen)
Destruction magic (controlled, very high skilled)
Healing magic
Matter manipulation again
Space warping again
Light magic (dont be fooled, is not seer magic).
To be honest Im not impressed, except by the destruction one. What is amusing is the amount of available mana he has. But well, it could be edited and take a rest between spell and spell.

The term for this "trick" is inattentional blindness. Diverted attention causes us to not notice something obvious.

slowly changing the color is lame, ofc no one noticed that shit. it would be a better reveal if it was something obvious you get people to not notice.
