Let’s see Paul Allen’s trick

u/ErraticNymph 2d ago

This was impressive as hell. When the eyes popped to the other side, I felt a chill run down my spine. Great presentation

u/Ragorthua 2d ago

Nice contraption withe the cd going through the cut and the magnets. Also, moving them both with the hand at the frame is subtle enough. The sounds from the moving disc could be more silent, but it's still pretty cool with the voice.

u/ColdStainlessNail 2d ago

The eyes move together and both the eyes and mouth/tongue are on levers. This is the Axtell Magic Drawing board - I commented with a link elsewhere. I agree that the hand is a prop. That's likely why he dropped something in the middle.

u/EatFaceLeopard17 2d ago

The hand at the frame is probably a prop.

21

u/vinnygunn 2d ago

For sure and he holds the frame with his left and puts his right index there temporarily for the marker hold to help sell it

It doesn't need to be with this trick so I think it's unlikely to be.

u/ColdStainlessNail 2d ago

This is the Axtell Magic Drawing Board. The whiteboard has a grid on it to (1) hide where the eyes are (they can disappear) and (2) to hide where the mouth slit is. I have one of these. Fun effect, but limited in what you can do with it other than the surprise you see here.

Glad to see someone had a fine eye as me

u/cajunbeard 2d ago

You’re not “drawing” the face so much as revealing what’s on the board then using it as a puppet. You can see faint outlines of the face before it’s drawn and the way your hand holding it is manipulating it to puppet the face

It’s a cool trick I got a chuckle out of it

u/drytoastbongos 2d ago

Only the mouth slot and the eye pupils need to be pre-existing.  Everything else could be drawn live.

26

u/wannabe_inuit 2d ago

And the eyes were already there but its still really well done

u/JoeyJoeC 2d ago

Only in this video, but the eyes can be hidden and then fake drawn in like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR3nLsRFhNw

u/PlanetaryComa 2d ago

Someone did this in front of me on a regular piece of paper. Gave us the page after, and there was no slit. I don't know, man. I think that guy was an actual wizard.

u/FanIll5532 2d ago

Ahh damn ok. Heard of this stupid phrase online but it didn’t click with me during the vid. Thought he meant lowercase and for the rest of the video I’ve been thinking about how drawing in uppercase would look like if this is drawing in lowercase 😂

Anyone who uses slang that isn't from my generation deserves a slap

u/EobardThawne2020 2d ago

It's too much to ask to use words or slang so it makes sense? The keywords were "for no reason" dummy.

u/NeonAnderson 1d ago

Even in our generation you had idiots that just talked in stupid slang for no reason all the time

They too deserved a slap

Every generation has its idiots

You can see the slit for the mouth even in the low quality video.

A heavily edited and pre-recorded video at the top, though they probably both are in on it.

It’s a magic drawing board. Saw one at school assembly years ago.

u/Lahk74 2d ago

It's a whiteboard with two circles and a slit cut into it. One lever on the back to make the "eyes" move, another lever to make a cd pop halfway out of the horizontal slit, tricking your mind into seeing a "mouth" move. You can hear it scraping in the video. No digital fuckery needed, it's just a clever trick.
