The 'How in the hell did they do THAT?' Thread

[Stantz]

I've always been fascinated with magicians and magic tricks in general, but I normally can see how they do it, even if I'd never have the dexterity or funds to do it myself. Growing up in England, a staple of our Saturday nights was the rug-topped genius Paul Daniels. Copperfield had his camera tricks and paid audiences, Lance Burton, the same. But The great Eldani, 9 times out of 10, did live broadcasts and pulled in numbers Simon Cowell could only dream of.

For those that don't know Mr Daniels' work, I present 2 of his best disappearances. The first one was originally broadcast in 1984, and as of now, no reasonable explanation has been offered as to how it was accomplished. The second one, not so much

If anyone has a decent clue for these 2 (and any videos that may follow - knock yourselves out), feel at liberty to express yourself

Dammit, I thought this was the "Why the hell did he make this thread?" thread. I gotta get my Lasik checked.

This one with thre disappearing camera was pretty cool... It's nice to see people do these kinds of tricks different than you usually see it...

The one thing I noticed was when the camera was inside the box and the forklift started picking the box up, the view of the camera through the little square hole didn't move at the same speed or seem to move at the same ratio as the speed of the forklift a s if they filmed that part of it at a different time. The same went for the little video of the camera's view when the forklift was spinning it around...

That's the best I can do and will let someone else take it from there lol...
