How are all of these people hoaxsters using sleight of hand like a magician? So far that is the only explanation I have heard. But look at these people. Do these seem like people who have spent years studying sleight of hand? Do their reactions seem performative? Does the camerwork look highly manipulated? Because it doesn’t look like that to me. This looks like real people in real life situations really sticking magnets to their arms. To try to pull this off with this many people being hoaxsters? That means all these natural reactions of onlookers are all in on it? And look at the level of sleight of hand would be involved. Some lower middle class single mom with three kids in the background, holding her phone in one hand and the magnet in the other, is also pulling off advanced sleight of hand to pocket a real magnet with a fake magnet all in one shot as the camera flails around sloppily like she is barely paying attention to what she is doing? Does everyone realize how hard that would be for a professional illusionist to pull off with this level of natural realism, and yet we are supposed to believe all these people are doing precisely that? These people are all better magicians than David Blaine? Is that really the explanation they are selling here?
