Big Trick Energy

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.

Fast, upbeat, positive, mostly family friendly. Just a good time, I don't know what all the hate is about. Give it a watch.

Network found success in carbonaro effect so they tried again and it's fine, usually revolves around a main "plot" with mini magic trick segments sprinkled throughout. Its meh at best.

Love this show. It's funny and the magic is good. I really love that they show you how the opening trick works!! You just have to watch to the very end of the episode!

Hear me out, because I truly do not want to put these guys down. But I really have to say... It's not that they're trying to "copy" the jokers. It's the fact that they're trying to be funny LIKE the jokers. And it's not working and extremely cringe worthy. Q, Murr, Sal and Joe have a very special bond that is 100% clearly real. You can absolutely see it. These guys are clearly trying way too hard, where the jokers aren't acting and don't even have to try. I don't like that they're calling one of the guys "fearless" because that's what Joe is known for. And saying the other "has great hair" because as we all know Joe, Murr and Q say Sal has the best hair of the four of them. I'm not over thinking it. It's just small details that I've picked up and It turned me off completely. Especially their intro where they're calling themselves "idiots" it's just too many Impractical Jokers vibes and I don't like it. Those four amazing legends (the jokers) have worked so hard to get to where they are. And the fact that these magicians are trying to imitate their characteristic traits is not doing it for me. I watched the first 3 episodes and I've already seen enough. I understand everyone has their own views and opinions, but If you're giving this show a 10/10 you're either a terrible judge of good comedy or you personally know these guys and just trying to help them look good.
