Oh Crap! It's Pagliacci's Magic Flash Theater, Part I: "The Magician"!
Welcome to Part I of Pagliacci's Magic Flash Theater (or PMFT I, as the kids at Penguin Magic would say), where we view short movies about magicians and then make fun of either the movie, magic in general, or both. Usually both.
Our first film (if you could call it that) is The Magician. The artist (if you can call it that) behind this piece is Phil, a member of the Smashed Possums Team. Submitted to Newgrounds.com four years ago, the only work Phil produced after this was Bimbo #5, which consists of a picture of Bill Clinton, a poorly drawn curtain as the background, and lips that constantly move (and are out of synch with the song). Oh boy. This movie was destined to be a doozy. If his production history doesn't tip you off, that fact that Phil as "a very boring story that can make laugh some people. But still, it's much better than Ti-Gars meets Solid Snake (if you know that one)!" is a bad sign. However, if you want a good laugh (and if you want to understand the rest of the jokes in this post) you should click here and watch the movie if you haven't already.
The best way to approach this masterpiece (if you can call it that) is to compare the movie to real life. So let's explore The Magician: FACT or FICTION?.
Smashed Possums are a wonderful opening image that make it clear that this movie is going to be a real treat.....FICTION!
Smashed Possums, the French, poor translations: all the ingredients of a successful Flash movie.....FICTION!
A magician dancing horribly to a horrific techno song.....FACT!
A magician deciding that he needs to go to a Chinese vase boutique, presumably to use as a prop.....FACT!
A magician wanting to have "asshole fun".....FACT!
A magician attempting to trade his services for another's.....FACT!
A magician being a cheap bastard and believing that someone would be willing to give him a Chinese vase just so he could see ONE trick.....FACT!
A magician who has more fashion sense than his spectator.....FICTION!
Other man actually agrees to magician's shitty deal.....FICTION!
A magician producing a random prop that no normal person would be carrying on his or her person to do an "impromptu" trick.....FACT!
"Magicians can get almost everything without paying".....FICTION!!!
I hope that this first installment was an educational and enlightening experience for you.
Come back tomorrow when Part II of Pagliacci's Magic Flash Theater is unveiled!
