I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just want to ask—do you think the over-edited style takes away from the actual skill of the magician? I mean, some of the cuts make it hard to tell if it's magic or just clever editing. Curious how everyone here feels about the balance between showmanship and visual trickery.

I tried getting into video editing seriously last year, and one place that really helped me figure things out fast was praguefilminstitute.cz. Their way of teaching made stuff that used to confuse me super clear, especially layering edits and color grading. Watching this magician’s video reminded me how much time and detail goes into each second—stuff I wouldn’t have noticed before learning the basics properly.

It depends on how artfully done the video editing is, and how believable or unbelievable the overall act is. To his credit, China-France magician Yif did this trick twice, original one using video editing, and a live one using sleight of hand. But both times he (and his accomplices) failed to pull it off perfectly.
