Didn’t I see, just a few days ago, a different illusion named as best of 2018? (Had the same logo at start of video.) Don’t make me go look for it …

Thought it would be a toss-up between 45s tired “Believe me!” schtick and the Saudi touring magic troupe and their “Saw a man in half” routine.

Pleasantly disappointed.
