A great video for April Fools day! Maybe you’ve seen the Orangutan card trick<\/a> in which the magician Matt G<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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<\/a>, 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<\/a> if we want to be happier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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