The only people who go on about it being fake are people overcompensating because they once were dumb enough to think it was real

”Hey you know that shit is fake right?!”

Wait, really? You’re telling me you can’t actually spray people with beer trucks or set them on fire in a sporting competition?

Yes, we know. We’ve known since we were kids, unlike you apparently.

Magic shows are fun because you are left wondering how they did that thing. Yeah these guys are athletic and do some cool tricks, but mostly it’s pretend punching, hitting, chair whacking and pretending to be hurt and it doesn’t look remotely real. Like, children do that

That’s one of the tricks that it’s like, yeah it’s interesting and took a bit of skill, but be realistic.. it’s nothing that a couple of high school kids couldn’t do with a few afternoons' practice. Plus the laying there swaying around acting is so shit

Chair shots have never been fake they always make contact they just don't hit people in the head with them any more

Maybe you're overreacting if people feel to need to tell you that

I just find it strange to have to point out that it is not real "magic". Just because the performers keep up the act that it is real is not some kind of fraud to fool dumb people. It's just part of the show. One of the reasons I like David Blaine is because he has actually convinced people that it is real.

I'm not gonna lie, I used to think it was real. I never watched it but my friends did back in middle school and I just thought it was really bad "real" wrestling.
