I’m watching this tv show on Netflix from the 90’s about magician tricks and low key the whole thing is cursed as fuuucckkk.

So I’m watching Breaking the Magician’s Code on Netflix.

I watched this in bits and pieces as a kid, and I have this very specific and distinct memory of the Magician unmasking himself while doing one of those “pick a thing, I give you a list of instructions, and I will tell you exactly where you landed” tricks with triangles on the screen. It is the only part of the show I remembered clearly from the first time I watched.

Have watched all four original specials and the end of the series and this scene does not seem to exist.

What the hell, brain.

Here I am again watching Breaking The Magician's Code...

I swear, the content of the show is neat and interesting and goddamn there are so many puns.

But the narrator is so irratating. His tone sounds like magician’s are just trying to lie and trick you. And he’s so gross talking about the assistants. Always making references to their bodies and talking about them like they’re props. On one show the magician “hypnotizes” an assistant. And the narrator says “now she’s ready for aaaaanything.” And calls the magician a “lucky guy”

And he’s always praising us for knowing better, like we can’t be tricked, and are superior to the stupid people who watch magic shows to enjoy themselves.

Like, dude’s mom must have fucked a magician at his birthday party or something. He’s so irritating.

Breaking the magicians code

Okay so on the first episode, Mitch peleggi says he doesn’t know why a famous magician would go on television to reveal his secrets, and I honestly could not stop making xfiles jokes.
