    WES THEME SONG: open.spotify.com/album/7qpQ0k... (By Eric Vanier)
    Wes Barker is a Canadian magician and comedian doing funny tricks, and telling great stories. You may (or may not) know Wes from his TV show Big Trick Energy. Well that's TV... this is CZcams! So watch here for hilarious, ridiculous, and unfiltered ideas with 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!

    Final trick not done in heels, yes props on the backflip but it was a composite shot. It looks like the real flip, intercut with fake buildup and landing from which was pulled a bit of still frame animation, was spliced with a real flip done with crocs or flat shoes with similar profile, because when slowed down the actual heel points disappear for several frames (and again on landing), showing a flat shoe, and it becomes increasingly obvious that there is wobble in a lot of frame alignment around the ankles and overall masking because a lot of the editing is done by hand (all the more props for good camera tracking and a lot of frame by frame rotoscoping, so it's definitely dedicated work). A good case of using video streaming compression artifacts to hide compositing tricks (e.g. the heels following the flip, but it looks like the ankles are moving on a 2D plane for a sec there prior to jumping so that's a big heads up). Very well done 3 part composite, 1) background, 2) real flip with flat shoes, 3) false wind-up and landing with actual high heels, with the latter two layers masked and animated to simulate the real jump being done in heels, or rather make the image of the heels appear to follow the flip by hand animating the heels onto the layer of the real flip, with some keyframe errors or something from cutting corners a bit; that's my first take anyway, for funzies, using what I do know but well aware of what I don't. I'm no expert but have had vfx/compositing classes in middle school, and then as an adult watched all of captain disillusion on CZcams, so maybe that counts for anything (honestly check out his channel if you're interested in vfx or how people make silly hoax videos, reverse engineered cgi fakery and similar goodness; my favorite metallic alien wearing half of a human face as a disguise). In other words I'm mostly speculating, and not talking myself serious or cushioning'll claiming authority... learning to make lightsabers in 8th grade is not an academic qualification, clearly. But it's fun to think about and break down; I do recommend the captain disillusion channel. He's like a "slight of CGI" skeptic superhero.

    The too perfect trick with the projector is probably Richard Wiseman. The music is the same thing he uses for his demonstrations and I know he's done color change and perspective tricks shot the same way. He's a psychology professor and most of what he does is to point out issues in the way our brain and senses work. He has a youtube channel under the name Quirkology which is the title of one of his books.
