This illusion is amazing....if it's real

Thoughts?
While I have no explanation for it if it is real, I'm concerned with how the hair moving at the end was shown.
The single camera watched footprints walk up to her, then we see a closer view of her from another angle.
Which means a cut, reposition the camera, continue filming. Or it was filmed more than once with both recordings editing together. Which wouldn't make sense. IDK.

I watched it twice.
I cannot find a real believable explanation for it either.
All I can offer is they can do wonderful things with photoshop, and I wonder what people are capable with videos?
After all, think of the effects they can achieve with movies.
Maybe the participants in the video were all playing a part?
The scared bloke who ran away, was he acting?
Were more of them "in-on-it" to put online to astonish viewers online?
Sorry I cannot offer a better explanation than that.
Effects are incredibly expensive. They don't pay unless they expect a big return.
Have you seen Dynamo? He does similar things. There are no actors used and often people record it on their phones so it can't be post production.

The hair was the only thing I thought I caught. He placed his prop during the part where he was telling her what he was going to do, taking place very close to a statue with proximal high points. Just how it looked to me.
I want the footprint trick. I know a woman who would never recover from seeing that done with mud in her kitchen.
As someone who has watched a lot of self-made horror series on Youtube, I can say, effects are not always expensive... sometimes, they cost barely anything at all. After all, the cost isnt really what determines what's possible. Instead, the skill of the creator is what does it.
And of course sometimes, just multiple camera views is all that's needed, and a bit of post-production trickery. As soon as the camera view starts popping all over the place, it starts to immediately seem like broken-up footage.
THIS one definitely looks like there's clear editing going on, but you have to look very closely. Reason: I went through it frame-by-frame around the 12-second mark. He holds it, then his hands start moving together, the phone spins a little, and then from one frame, it's fully there, still mostly vertical, and the very next frame, it's entirely gone. You dont see it get "compacted" by his hands or something as he hasnt completed that sort of "clap" movement yet. Nor does it go like, into his coat or something. The balloon moment is harder to make out.
As for the fish one, there's too many camera jumps. It would have been a lot more effective if it had just been one continuous shot from in front of him.
Regardless of all of that, the skill used in putting it all together is impressive. Well, aside from the camera jumps.
Yes it is. And what about the people who's phone it was? They weren't actors. They were right there, so we have to assume there was no editing.
What do you say about this one then...
Dont be so sure about them not being actors. I'll put it this way: It's not exactly hard to set up what appears to be a very genuine random encounter with others. Very frequent technique, actually. I dont mean just in stuff like this. It is used (often to great effect) in alot of actual series all over Youtube. Writers/directors can be REALLY good at setting that sort of thing up, as it can be useful in further immersing viewers in the story.
It's a big part of why it's so easy for people to be skeptical of basically everything... the tools are out there so that ANYONE can do it. Heck, a lot of stuff like that can be done almost entirely through Adobe's AfterEffects. Provided the user has the skill, of course.
Plus, to me, the phone just sort of "popping" is the kicker for it.
At this point, even if someone managed to do something like capture an absolutely genuine ghost in a VERY visible way on tape, well... that wouldnt be enough to prove it. It's just too easy to fake, even to such a level that seems like it cant be done. That's modern tech for ya.
I'm not exactly the skeptical sort myself, but I've been on Youtube too much for too long, and seen too many things, so I generally dont trust videos in an overall sense.
As for the next video... Youtube has been acting odd for me all day, and then Windows made a screaming turd of itself (yet another unwanted update that I couldnt stop and that came without warning, which interrupted functions I'd specifically set up, because of freaking course it did, now I have to spend a bunch of time fixing its mess, AGAIN) which isnt helping. Videos of any sort can wait a bit while I try to calm myself down.
AKA, some tech problems over here. Well, a SERIES of tech problems. Remarkably, I havent punched the monitor yet. Or stabbed anything.
But I'll have a look at that video a little later when I'm in a state where I can fully pay attention. I dont deal with these sorts of issues very well.
I'm curious though... what do you think is going on in these? Do you think it's something paranormal? What's your own take on it all?
I'll be interested in what you make of it. It's not like the others I've put here.
That's an interesting question.
There are some things he does, that one you will watch is one, and another where we watch him slowly walk through the border fence between Mexico and the US, that go far beyond what seems possible with setup. Nobody gets through that impassable fence, that's the point of it.
I sometimes get the feeling that in amongst the other things that would be set ups and carefully orchestrated and wonderfully creative stuff, is something else.
I'm not saying it is, but if you discovered you had certain...abilities, wouldn't it make more sense to not claim you could do real magic, but do things that would just mystify and everyone could accept that you were just an amazing magician and love you and not fear you for being a freak? Idk. Honestly. Watch that video and see how you feel about it.
That's the first Dynamo video I've seen. Blimey is all I can say.
Frankly if I discovered I could Do Things, which at this point wouldnt surprise me all that much, I'd probably be too scared of it to really use it much.
That being said, I've had the same feeling occasionally when watching stuff on there. Every now and then there's something that's just... problematic.
At first, perhaps, then, you would slowly discover what you were capable of, experiment and become confident, and finally you'd get to meet Professor X and join the mutant academy.
I know some magicians/performers, there is lots of slight of hand they use and tricks, and there are trade secrets how they do this kind of thing (in general)
An electronic magician? There is typically a slight of hand method for anything like this, even electronic, and nothing wrong with that either
In the phones ringing video, he does look like he is manipulating energy.
But, maybe he knows how to look the part. Hard to say.
For the most part, magicians, do know a great many illusions and slight of hand tricks that
we can't explain, but, they know how.
If someone has true abilities to alter physics through energy fields, I've found they don't want to
share it with other people because they know they won't be believed.
Well, not by some. No matter what they do to prove it is real under supervised scientific tests
where they can't even cheat.
I don't like how the camera jumps around either providing spots where you could miss something.
There are truly some who can manipulate nature's physics, energies, and do what we call
magick. True abilities.
Not magic. Meaning illusions.
I've personally known a few because I used to teach metaphysics. There is a difference.
It isn't scary to me when it is the real deal.
I know some think it evil, satanic, or witchery.
But, it is spoken of in religions and not considered evil.
