A great video for April Fools day! Maybe you’ve seen the Orangutan card trick in which the magician Matt G seems to push a card through a piece of glass and the primate grabs and plays with the card. It took the internet briefly by storm and had many scratching their heads.

Captain Disillusion has a whole channel on YouTube that takes apart popular trick videos and shows exactly how its done – and he recently walked through this video too.

In his videos, he walks through not only how it’s done, but how you can go about figuring it out. I especially like this teaching component so you’re not fooled by the latest TikTok or viral video. As the internet becomes more and more AI generated and bot ridden, learning just how easily you can be fooled is more important than ever. Or, as science tells us, maybe we should all be stepping away from social media if we want to be happier.

Bonus points for him doing a double-pane passthrough at the end to show that even trickier versions can be done even cleaner.
