- What's up, everybody!
Welcome to "Magic of the Month" for the month of October.
(spooky music)
(sinister laugh)
- Trick or treat!
- Oh, I've got a trick.
So this is a demonstration of how Team Trees works.
Nate, hold this planter.
- Uh, okay.
- [Zach] Give me a dollar.
Got a dollar?
- Yeah.
- [Zach] Okay.
So you're gonna plant the dollar in the planter --
- Why?
- [Zach] And then (snaps).
- Zach, this is just a shrub.
- [Zach] No, Nate, it's a tree!
(snaps)
Whoa, whoa!
Hoo!
Are you okay?
(gasps) Go Team Trees!
So, some see this glass as half full.
Some see it as half empty.
But I see it as a piece of cake.
Mmmm.
(breathes heavily) Everyone knows about the regular pushup,
but I like to do the yoga pushup.
(hums)
(meditative string music)
(phone rings)
Oh.
Hey babe, I'm in the middle of a --
(hits floor)
Oh.
Yeah, throwing off my zen.
(bass techno music)
So, pay very close attention.
You're gonna take some milk
(instrumental house music)
then you're gonna take some strawberries,
give it a little shake (rattles)
and you get a milkshake.
(imitates spray sound)
(cap spins on table)
(sips)
Mmmm.
Oh that's terrible.
(whistles)
(organ music)
- Yeah just send me that email
I'm just gonna step -- (hits wall) Oh!
- Oh.
- Are you kidding me?
- Sorry.
(grunts)
It says "wet paint."
That last video was especially fun
because if you watched it more than two times,
on the third loop you actually notice
that the guy misses the wall, all together.
A few things that I did this month that was really fun:
I went to Indonesia, yet again.
(upbeat instrumental music)
(crowd cheers)
And I also visited some of the team
at the Tik Tok Headquarters.
All right, we're heading to the Tik Tok space.
Let's go see the team.
(bass and drums music)
So some fun stuff brewing.
So this next part of the video I am super excited
because last month I challenged you guys
to make your own magic video using the Halloween theme.
We got over 200 submissions.
I cannot wait to see what you guys made.
All right, Luke: what do you got?
Oh, that was tight!
(soft glockenspiel music)
Bruno that was legi -- nice!
That was the smoothest fabric transition I've ever seen.
- So it turns out that we forgot
to buy pumpkins for Halloween.
- That was a smooth fabric transition.
- So I guess I'm gonna have to make one.
(heavy sigh)
- Oh, that's awesome.
- [Person Off-Screen] Oh, we also forgot to buy the candy.
- Oh, um...
(candy scatters)
- (breathes heavy) I am thoroughly impressed.
We are only a few videos in.
- [Sayer] Okay, I made the pie.
- He's gotta a little to-do list and "get pumpkins."
Clever.
Right in front of us the whole time.
Smooth.
- [Sayer] Huh, a little small.
- Man.
- [Sayer] (breathes heavy) That'll do.
- If he goes one bigger I'm gonna --
Look at the little Z logo he did on the side of the video.
Omar, what you got?
There's a ghost.
Nice.
Well that's awesome.
We just did a concept just like that.
That's great.
- [Ian] So we've got this big pumpkin.
- Come on, Ian.
- [Ian] And now --
- To candy -- oh!
To pumpkin.
Mini pumpkin.
Didn't see that coming.
- [Ian] Now...
- Back to big.
(slams table)
Whoa you went even smaller?
Oh it's one of those pumpkin candies.
(foreign language)
Oh it's Sofian!
(foreign language)
Wait, what is he doing?
(mysterious orchestral music)
He's drawing a ghost?
I think it's a ghost.
Ghost costume!
Nice!
Oh that's awesome.
Smooth.
(foreign language)
Is he gonna disappear?
(foreign language)
Oh he's gonna scare him.
(shouts)
Oh (laughs)
Dude, Sofian is so creative.
Steven Crawford.
Nice, pumpkin to candy.
Classi -- oh, whoa.
Cool.
- [Speaker Off-Screen] What happened, bro?
- I don't feel so good.
- He's got something in his eyes.
(pumpkins crash)
Oh (laughs).
- [Speaker Off-Screen] Vijan?
I don't fully understand the concept, but it's funny.
(doorbell rings)
[Group Of Children] Trick or treat!
- Oh.
(paper rattles)
(grunts)
(claps) Yes!
(claps)
(candy falls to table)
- Nate, I think we're out of a job.
- This is how I get my Halloween candy.
- Like these are awesome.
- [Nate] I know.
(pumpkin hits table)
- Ooh that's good stuff.
I love this candy corn.
- You guys could take over the magic.
I'm thoroughly impressed.
- Okay what -- Christian, what has he got?
Nice.
- (slams bucket) Happy Halloween!
(spooky bell music)
(wind slams)
- Whoa!
(man laughs sinisterly)
(hip hop Halloween instrumentals)
- No!
(pumpkin chomps)
(man screams)
- Oh, oh no!
Dang, when the jack-o-lantern eats you up as a trick.
Wait, I think I've seen EunJae Jon's videos.
(claps)
I think he sent this one before.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
Wait, if she turns real...
That's real.
She's gonna turn to --
(orchestral music)
- [Man Holding Phone] (speaking foreign language)
- Hi.
(screeches)
(country blues riff)
(makes wind sound)
- (hits door) Oooh!
(mumbles)
- It's Halloween.
(makes wind sound)
- Wait, does it loop?
- (hits door) Oooh!
- Oooh, he looped it!
- It's Halloween.
- He went for the perfect loop.
Nice.
Nacho!
Nacho Hoyos.
(spooky instrumental music)
He's gotta be making a pumpkin.
(spooky instrumental music)
(snaps)
Ni -- oh!
What -- was there a cat?
Where did the cat come from?
Wow!
You guys had some incredible submissions.
Not only am I blown away by
some of the techniques that you guys used,
but I'm actually blown away by the story ideas
and that's the best part of the videos for me.
So thank you guys so much for submitting these magic videos.
We had over 200 submissions
so I'm sorry we couldn't feature all of them here today
so that's why I'm giving you guys the chance
to do another challenge for next month.
The theme is gonna be forced perspective.
And forced perspective is an optical illusion
where you change the size of an object
based on its distance to or from the camera.
Here's a few perspective tricks that I've done.
Grabbing a souvenir from France.
Ooh, (speaks French).
Hey!
Ah.
(car squeals)
(car hits road)
I'm gonna get a selfie with Lady Liberty here.
(taps statue) Excuse me, can I get a photo?
Okay.
Cheese!
(camera snaps)
All right.
Thank you!
(door closes)
(pops balloon)
(chuckles) And now your car's as good as new --
Oh, no!
(water bubbles)
Sunroof!
Nate, Nate!
(water gushes out)
So I can't wait to react to next month's videos.
Be sure to submit your videos
at zachkingmagic.com/challenge.
The link is also down below.
Get those in no later than November 20 so I can see them.
So I hope you guys have a great Halloween.
Have fun, be safe, brush your teeth
and don't forget: we have two videos over here
and for extra good luck on your trick-or-treating,
subscribe right here.
I think it means you'll pick up those extra large
family-size candy bars.
And thumbs up to Nate!
Give Nate a round of applause down in the comments
for the lighting -- the orange gels he put on.
