Big Trick Energy

Such a poor excuse for a show and is a direct ripoff of impractical jokers. Show is not funny magic is lame and the episodes are so chaotic and disorganized. This is such a chore to watch I highly suggest you don't waste your time.

I think most people's criticism is fair, but a little extreme. Yes, they are trying to be the Jokers of magic, and yes, unfortunately they will never even sniff the amount of likeability that the Jokers have. But two of the four are likeable. And although the reactions from the public aren't the best, I definitely don't think the reactions are scripted.

As an avid fan of magic, I know how many/most of the tricks are done, so that is a negative. And Alex is the biggest magic hack of all time. His "tricks" are the worst. It's like he just read Magic for Dummies, and didn't even get that far into it.

So all in all, being a funny magic show (which, as others as said, comes off as a Jokers/Carbonaro mashup), isn't a bad idea. What they are doing is okay, they just need to do it better. Still light years better than Criss Angel or anyone else who pretends to have real powers though.

Like a poor version of impractical jokers and carbonaro effect. Just not as funny. Don't know if it's the editing but the tricks seem phony instead of looking like an illusion. Better than other trutv shows like top secret videos which is a train wreck.

I read a bunch of reviews of people talking about Impractical Jokers, I will have to give that a try to see what all the fuss is about. I love Chris, Eric and Wes' stuff on youtube that's why I tried this show and magic wise I wasn't disappointed. But guys... stop it with the forced gags and scripted jokes that are supposed to look like unscripted. Not sure who forced this on you, I cannot imagine you guys rewatching your episodes and going: "wow, awesome, that's exactly what we went for" - because your youtube stuff is much better and natural. It's a shame that many people will be exposed to your stuff through this show when you're actually much better than this. I had higher hopes for the show, I would've like to see just a bunch of magic and a couple of gags maybe instead of 50/50.

So the show tries really hard, way too hard. It's almost to say "not your grandfather's magic" reminds me of Dude Perfect but with in your face illusions that we all have seen before. The real trick is to not roll your eyes to the point where your head hurts please do better.
