- Hey everybody,
welcome to Magic of the Month for the month of August.
And this MSI laptop that I'm inside of right now,
is actually helping power the magic for this month.
(thud)
This laptop is equipped
with the newest 10th generation Intel processor,
as well as a 4k display,
which is great if you're a creator like myself.
So I hope you check it out, it's called the Prestige 15.
And now, let's roll the magic.
(jingle chimes)
(air whooshing)
(notification bings)
Storm Area 51?
"They can't stop all of us."
Hm, I'm in.
♪ Can't nobody tell me nothin' ♪
(laptop chimes)
(pounding)
- [FBI Agent] FBI, open up!
You're under arrest!
If you don't open up this door right now,
we will break it down.
(door crashing)
Freeze!
- Where is he, where is he?
- He's here, he's here!
Man he's good.
(business chatter)
(Post-Its crackle)
(claps)
- Would you look at that?
Five o'clock, wow.
Time really does fly.
- Whoa, whoa, where's everyone goin'!?
We have a lot of work to do!
I need this done by the end of the day!
Oh!
(workers murmur)
(door closes)
- Hello, everyone, so for today's meeting we have a--
- [All] Surprise, happy birthday!
- I got you a gift.
- Me, too!
- And me.
- Shoot, I totally forgot.
Oh, that'll work.
(popping)
- [Worker] I know you're gonna love it.
- Happy birthday!
- Wow, Zach, that's impressive.
(clapping)
Oh my God, Zach, the candles!
(fire alarm)
- Oh, don't worry, hold on, nobody panic.
- [Boss] You're gonna burn the whole building, hurry up!
- I've got it under control.
- [Boss] Zach, why?
(air and water pressure blowing)
(coughing)
- Oh, seriously?
(yawns)
(snaps)
(slow paced, upbeat music)
- Hey, buddy, lemme help ya.
(snaps)
Ta-da!
(munching)
(clicking)
(tapping)
Okay, you're good.
Wow, Mason.
Let's see if we can upgrade.
Whoa, cool dude.
(squirting)
(snaps)
(soft whining)
Hi.
(gasps)
Liam, do you want a dog?
Here, I'll make you a dog, yeah.
(snaps)
Babe, don't freak out.
(baby babbling)
(camera snapping)
Dude, this is a long line.
I've got an idea, let's go 'round back.
Over there.
Yeah, right there's good.
(munching)
Oh.
(groaning)
That's plastic.
Let's get a real one.
(smashing)
(people screaming)
(cars honking)
Get out of here.
(car alarms sounding)
All right, welcome back.
I hope you enjoyed that magic.
We've been really busy here at the studio,
but we were able to find a little time
for a team beach bonding day.
We had some sandcastle competitions
and we also hid a ton of gift cards
on the beach for the team,
and as they were frantically digging,
it turns out, I buried them too deep.
So, if you want to make your way to Seal Beach, California,
there's about 35 more in there.
At the end of every Magic of the Month video,
I answer five of your questions
and I am going to do that right now.
Laura asked, "What is going to be your next magic trick?"
I have recently encountered
one of the hardest tricks that I'm working on.
Essentially, we had to buy a car,
I'm flooding the car.
It's been leaking pretty bad.
Who knew flooding a car was so difficult.
I thought you could just throw in some hoses
and fill the sucker up.
So, I hope that video gets finished,
but it'll be pretty tough.
PuddingPi asks, "What's the hardest thing
about being a dad?"
It probably changes in your different context of life,
but for me right now,
the hardest part is that they wake up at 5:15 a.m.
(scraping)
Nathan, hey buddy, it's like 5:40 a.m.
Why are we up so early?
Mason, I'm gonna go sleep over here in the playhouse, okay?
"Have you tried your magic tricks to woo a girl?"
I was dating a girl and I made some Vines with her
and I kind of tricked her at one point to,
I said, "Hey, I'm gonna make a Vine with you,
we're gonna spin in a concrete city,
and we're gonna go all the way
to a field during the spin transition."
So, we shot the first part in Los Angeles, California,
I spun her around and the concept
was like from concrete jungle to field.
And then when I did the second cut in Oregon,
I had my buddy hidden in the field,
filming this footage that you're watching.
When we got to the field portion,
I didn't actually didn't end up filming
the rest of the video.
That was just an excuse to get us there.
And then I told her the truth of why we were really there.
So, technically, I have used my magic tricks to woo a girl.
I think that counts.
Henry asks, "How did you pick the
Magic of the Month questions?"
That's a pretty good question.
So, we take the comments from the last video
and it's usually Nate or Ben
going through all your comments.
Nate, what's goin' on?
- Oh, I'm just checking through all the questions.
There's so many questions.
- And for the last question of the day,
Carolina asks, "Zach, can you make your Vines in 360?"
And, I think she's talking about 360 camera.
Actually, we've been shooting a lot
of our behind the scenes in 360,
and you can see all the chaos that's happening.
The cake video that you watched earlier,
we had the 360 camera in the room on the ceiling
showing what was happening.
And this is us throwing flour on all the extras and actors.
And we don't have a shower at the studio,
so they had to drive home.
I can't imagine sitting in your car, in flour.
Wait, I can, I've done that a couple times.
- It's 1:00 a.m., and that is a wrap,
it was a great shoot.
- So, that's it for magic of the month,
leave your questions down below.
Maybe I'll answer them in the next month.
If you want to check out some videos,
two are here, subscribe right there.
I'm just gonna wait here.
- [Cameraman] Actually, you have a flight to catch.
It's 11:45.
- Oh, shoot, 11:45, okay.
I'm going to Istanbul again, I'll see you later.
I didn't know it was 11:45, shoot.
- [Cameraman] Yeah, you gotta go.
