Wes Barker is a Canadian magician and comedian doing funny tricks, and telling great stories. Watch here for hilarious magic, stunts, and pranks. I am the funniest magician that is also a stand-up comic, or maybe I'm the comic who is best at magic. Either way you get the idea. I tour all over doing colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events. Catch the adventures and tricks right here. With this magician / comedian based out of Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. I make funny stuff. That’s my only rule. Everything has to be funny, from street magic to stage illusions, as long as there is a joke to be made. I do magic tricks, sketches, stand-up comedy, card tricks, mind reading, and tricks with naked people. I’ve been on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, MTV Greatest Party Stories Ever, and Wizard Wars. You can find me pulling pranks on friends, gags on strangers, or just general sleight of hand, magic, illusions, and the occasional bar bet. Wes Barker also hosts a podcast with Chris Ramsay called Bottom Of The Barrel. Go check it out! - Zábava
You're hilarious. Legit such a great time hanging out! Still laughing!
Dude it was the best. I cut like 10 minutes straight of us laughing!
WES Barker I want blooper reels!
Awesome seeing the two of you cutting it up
The actor in the first video has three '4 of clubs' cards when you show the still frame of how he holds his fan
@@WesBarker hey Wes...thats Jim Carey not drew
11:57 When the nanny walks past the boy, she casts a shadow over the table but not the boy, which means that they split the image in half horizontally where the table is
Maurice ,
You are SOOOOOOO close.
~Jim
For the Marry Poppins scene, they do a version of this on their stage show where they produce various objects from the bag as well as producing a bed by waiving a bedsheet in the air. I think the kids even jump on the bed once it’s produced. It’s amazing to watch.
When filming Mary Poppins, the filmmakers used a one of a kind prism in a camera used in conjunction with sodium vapor lighting (basically an alternative to blue screening without the "halo" effect) to do in camera special effects. So I imagine they used this camera technique for split screening during the bag sequence. The process is explained in this video: czcams.com/video/0I03N885QGU/video.html
The kid crawling under the table looked like forced perspective
There also looked like there was a hidden cut right before Michael ducks under the table at 11:48. That might have played a role as well
"You're doing youtube backwards." That's so humble but also hilarious. 😂
Had no idea Peter McKinnon was a magician and friends with a Chris.
He could sub for you on Bob one episode if you’re under the weather or something!!!
hes been in some older videos
Peter McKinnon in the house!!
2019 - obsessed with photography because of Peter
2020 - obsessed with card tricks because of Chris and Wes... Canadians are just taking over youtube and I love it.
i knew peter was a magician and i also knew he was friends with Chris but i never knew why this Collab never happened. so finally.
“If you don’t know who Peter is, you’re doing CZcams backwards” lol! 😂 Awesome video with you both!
To prepare for the roles in Deception Cutmore-Scott worked with magicians David Kwong and Francis Menotti to learn how to perform the magic tricks on the show according to wikipedia
I’ve gotta say WES Barker, I ADORE your reveal videos. You make it fun to learn the secrets of magic & to hear your critiques of various “tricks” which Hollywood & other people have tried to pull off THANKS BRO’
the irony is i'dd never heard of peter McKinnon until this video 😀
I always wanted see you both doing a collaboration, finally it's happening. Epic Video✨.
There's a good cigarette vanish in "As Good As It Gets". It's in the first half of the movie when Hellen Hunt goes out with some weirdo on a date and he tries to set the mood with his magismo.
Oh man what a collab, you are both among my favourite magicians / youtubers o.O
Not a movie but Chris Pratt did a magic trick on The Graham Norton Show. I think you should check it out 😂
the one awkward trick he knows from the M7
5:52
I feel like a pretty easy way to edit this together would be to have a separate shot of him with the new outfit, and without the fabric. Then, just mask him out of the first shot with the original outfit when the fabric comes down. Then, they could just put this shot on top of the other one and have the effect.
That's what I was thinking. Pretty easy if you keep the fabric of one shot and mask everything else... So the reveal and new cut happen when the original fabric is falling to the ground. So like a horizontal mask.

You had me sold at the thumbnail! 🤣
I LOVED Burt Wonderstone!
You guys are magic together, really fun, relaxed and super cool. Nice job, great video.
You should do more scenes from Deception. They definitely put a lot of work in to do as much practical magic as possible
Absolutely loving these Wes! Need mooooore!
Pete’s trick called second choice was the first trick I learned. Love seeing him on the scene again!! And Wes, well, Yeah.
This channel is a gem for aspiring magicians
Wes and Pete have great chemistry... definitely need more of these 😂
The Burt W quick-change: gotta be greenscreen. This was fun to see Peter on here!
Now I'm thanking the both of you for adding another series for me to watch (I'm eyeing you 'Deception) 😁😁💯💯
Hey Wes,
Another great episode of the series and it's pretty amazing to see PM join in!
The Marry Poppins bit was done on a green screen to achieve the parts that you couldn't completely figure out.
So, Marry and the table were shot together on a green screen and the kids and the room were shot separately. You can see that in that scene - the kids are a bit off in-terms of proportion and that the girls head relative to the bag keeps changing while the angle doesn't change that significantly (also the kids video layer video quality is a bit degraded relative to the foreground layer).
Please keep making these great videos!
Their awesome
It's really nice seeing Pete back on the magic scene again!
Hope you're both safe
Whoa!!! Peter Mckinnon on WES? This is amazing man. Your channel just gets better and better lol. Seriously though great content mate.
Hey, I've got a magic trick for you. The setup: you have got a glass ball that is pretty solid (you are poking it around and nothing is happening). You put that ball into the machine that has got several markers. You spin the machine and those markers draw several lines on the ball's surface. There's one point where those lines cross each other. All you have to do is to tap at that point and the ball shatters into the pieces.
Can you do that or would it be a Hollywood's trick?
I'd heard that when they first started shooting the Mary Poppins scene, the children weren't in on the secret. They were genuinely surprised when she started pulling large things out of the bag. I don't know if that's the take they kept, but they were probably told to keep showing that level of amazement throughout the various takes. There were a lot of truly amazing special effects in that movie for the time. I originally saw the movie as a child at Grauman's Chinese Theater (later Mann's Chinese Theater, now TCL Grauman's Chinese Theater) in Hollywood. That was when it still had its world renown grandeur and big movie premieres (and a few Academy Award ceremonies) were still held there. People still go there and compare their feet to footprints of their beloved celebrities. Lots of memories there and Mary Poppins stayed one of my favorite movies into adulthood.
Hi Wes, you should watch 'Magic' by Coldplay. It's got a bunch of tricks in it. Some of it is obviously CGI, but he does perform a few 'real' magic tricks when he practices at his dresser.
The movie Hugo has a nice scene where Hugo gets shown a 'rising card' trick. They also fan the deck a bit.
Great as always!
Here are some movie for you
The Magnificent Seven- Farraday's magic trick
Great video. Fun!!! A pretty funny mistake in My Cousin Vinny I noticed last year. The entire time through that card scene he’s holding Tally’s. Then when they pan down to the table it’s a Bicycle box. Regardless he did well.
Stop! This was so awesome to watch!
nice to see that you're helping out aspiring youtubers, such as Pete. great video as usual!
I try 😂
Wes & Peter,
The MARY POPPIN's effect was suggested to Uncle Walt by Bob Stevenson. And they left the implementation to Cinematography Edward Colman & Senior Editor Cotton Warburton. Both Disney legends. But Warburton had apprenticed for Ray Harryhousen.
Your right the effect could and has been pulled off on stage shows. With numerous revels. Though I was not present when Colman did the shot, I was there when the techs were "putting the rabbit in the hat.". So Wes you came close to the technique. Not a BLACK ARTS screen. But Disney animation was famous for creating MULTILEVEL CAMERA shoots.
Because of Warburton's sharp eye and smooth finesse he won an Oscar for Editing this effect as well as the animation / live action "Rotoscoping."
Presto Change-o,
~Jim
I want more!!
@5:52 its kind of the same as the match cut with the magician except its a match-wipe. as the hoop falls back into screen everything above the hoop is a from the footage of the new outfit. they are just cropping everything above the hoop and using the curtain folds of the background to hide the wipe, there was no hoop or fabric falling in tne 2nd outfit footage, just him standing in front of the curtain when the director yells action, he waited 2s, then did the hand flourish.
Yeah that’s what we figured afterwards 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, its pretty simple
This video was amazing!
Actually enjoyed this. Fun stuff guys!
Seems like your just doing a tour of nicer places to film 😂 class as always dude
Loved this video, I' m huge fan of Peter McKinnon!!
peter McKinnon watching the big bang theory .. wow ! Seem like a dream to see 2 of favourite things in one
The door opening thingy is derived from the movie "Contact" (the cabinet opening scene, right in the first 5 or 6 minutes of that movie).
The quick change definitely has CG before the throw.
Also, the Mary Poppins stuff is Academy Award winning chroma keying
Best combo of youtubers ever
Agreed!
For Steve’s quick change when he throws the curtain it’s a real curtain, but when they cut to his new outfit there’s no curtain, they CGI a curtain over him to match the original shot.
Peter McKinnon should join you and Chris in a future BOB episode!! The three of you are some of my favourite youtubers!!
Thats awesome. You two have gr8 chemistry
For the Burt wonderstone toss part, it looks like it cuts right before he throws because the fabric jumps to right above his head
Burt wonderstone is one of my fave movies.. way underrated
for the next one you should take a look at Chris Pratt's character in the Magnificent 7 and there is some beautiful card handling and cons in The Sting from 1973.
Weekly movie magic reviews please
Legend!!
Any time Mary was pulling things out of the bag the children were not present. They were filmed separately and composited onto the frame along with the view under the table, So when Michael crawls under the table that was a second take. Mary pulls the plant up through the table in take one (no one else present), then they film Jane and Michael at the table and composite the two scenes together. Imagine everything green except for the bag, plant, and Mary for the first take (the table being a box to hide the plant under the bag). then film the scene in the room and overlay everything not green from Mary's take onto the room scene. That wasn't what they did, they used the sodium mask process to create an optical mask, but it is essentially what they did. When she pulls out the coat rack you can notice the lighting difference on the children from the second take.
Do some from the Disney movie magic camp. I don’t know how many good scenes there are bc I quit after a few minutes from the cringe, but please try it out!
lmao. my parents put that on because they knew i was into magic and i DID NOT enjoy it. but yeah all the tricks there are real but they traded that for the acting part
Killer combo 👌
Im laughing at the play on the ash trick but instead burning happy birthday on his arm 😹
There were really nice things 🙂
I'm going to try the Mary Poppins cutting. Looks like fun 😁
With the Steve Carell quick change, the way I would do it is lock off the camera, film him throw up the fabric and still be there in his original clothing when it came back down again, have him change, film him standing there on his mark as if the fabric has just descended and then with the use of a keyframed mask comp the two shots together
Edit: I see I'm not the only one who thought of this, having now read some of the comments. It's the easiest way to do it, rather than using green screen or cloth simulations.
Would love to see you react to the levitation in ghostbusters!
You forget, again, the teleportation trick in Burt Wonderstone, you would have laugh so much 😂
i can tell peter was in in all the camera work and set up of this reaction video.
I saw Mary Poppins Jr and the bag trick for the stage show is fantastic
Instant like for the Wes/Peter collab
Finally subbed to ya 🤣. Thank Chris Ramsay and Peter McKinnon. 🤣🤣👍🏼
so in How I Met Your Mother, they do that trick again but he gets the words wrong and says something like "Shoot, I thought you were gonna say 'x' ". So it always seemed like he had the words there because he assumed what she was gonna say. As a little bit of the continuity for that.
Loving this series. React to Hollywood gambling/card cheat.
WE WANT MORE!!!!
Hell yes!!
Guys! Please watch the show deception! It only lasted for one season. I don't kniw why noone watched it. It was kind of good, you may enjoy it ☺
The quick change is probably two shots. Steve throws the curtain up and let's it fall. The second shot he stands there in the new outfit and then poses. In post you just wipe between scenes as the curtain falls.
Omfg I literally rewound this like 50 times just watching the first 2 seconds 😂😂😂😂😂
As both a magician and someone who works in VFX for films, odds are the quick change hoop, was CG for the cloth. That’s why it’s perfect between the two shots. It’s probably Steve holding either just a hoop, or a hoop with a real cloth and they did a new cloth entirely in CG to mask it
Agreed. Thanks man! That’s what we decided after the fact as well. Seems like the best way.
@@WesBarker No problem! Loving this series. It combines my two passions into one! Keep doing more and let me know if you ever want another person to join ya!
With Mary Poppins - that's done with two shots. One take is done with only Julie Andrews pulling things out of the bag, the second shot is done with just the children. Then they composite the two shots together so it looks like the kids are reacting to Mary Poppins doing something impossible.
Mary's shot gives the bag, herself, and whatever she pulls from her bag, this kids' shot gives them and the empty underside of the table.
Notice how the kids don't interact with the bag until it's a closer view from a different angle. The bag's not there when they got recorded for the wider shots.
I work in props design and with Mary Poppins you CAN do all of the tricks, however you need to be further away
Your the best Wes
Apparently I'm doing CZcams backwards.
Eric Leclerc is actually the first magician I subscribed to during his 365 days of magic, so that confirms it I guess?
Same - Eric, Wes, then Chris. And now I know about Peter. I'm ok with that 😂.
@@bekahw8704 Haha, exactly! 😄
5:18 for the quick change, he wears a green screen outfit with a green screen in the background, with the fabric as it is, then the same motion to be followed, without the green screen of the first outfit, then the second, and you know the rest
No, i think its pretty simple, he basically throws the plastic bag and just let it fall while he freeze in motion, then he change his outfit, get back into the same position and as the camera starts rolling he made the pose, the plastic bag is the invisible cut
I really love peter
Wow, I love you both
easy way i can think to get a quick consistent fake quick change would be to use a wire to pull it up at a consistent speed, and let that guide Steve carelles hands on the toss. Use a clean plate with him not there at all + plates of both costumes and viola quick & easy film magic
In the series White Coller, S02E11 (@03:40)
The main actor gets tempted to play a round of 3 card monte. What happends next is pretty cool... Not sure if its real or fake, you should review it!
How about reacting to the movie Magic Camp? It's on Disney+ atm, but I think certain scenes are on CZcams
Mildly entertaining lol
I always forget my favorite Photography youtuber (well, along with Andrew Boey) is also a bit of a magician...
Great video🙃
You should hit up corridor and see if they’d be interested in doing a magicians react with you. It’d be dope as hell
Check out Wes's Amazing Magic Kit !!! Soon to be auctioned on EBAY soon! GREAT JOB WES!!!!
Decepción really nice series
Great vid! Jim Carrey! So awesome! 🤣
5:31 probably like... had him toss it up then down and then go back to the same spot changed and film him doing his thing and then keyed him out? Just a thought? Because the fabric really is just flawlessly falling and that is nigh impossible to replicate twice UNLESS! Cg fabric?
9:24 100% a trapdoor in the table lol
subbed !
Perfecto
damn, pete AND wes? this is awesome.
Do more on Deception show
The ring and cloth that is thrown in the air for the quick change was probably VFX cloth simulation. That's why you don't see any problems with the folds when in motion
I want to learn some card and coin tricks, any book or youtuber recommendations? Im a complete beginner
