Two Idiots Try To Teach The Greatest Kids Show...

Overview

Magic TV’s Craig kicks off a chaotic “two total idiots” training video with Tom and Ryland. Craig explains that deluxe shows are the “crown jewel” of his kids-entertainment company—basically Vegas-style illusion shows engineered for children and their parents, with bigger props, multiple performers, and far more logistics than a normal party.

What the Video Is Actually About (Main Plot)

Tom and Ryland walk through how they run a deluxe kid show from start to finish, covering:

• What a deluxe show is
• Venue and loading-in planning
• Show structure:
  • warm-up
  • big illusion opener
  • main act
  • audience participation
• Backup plans and extra props
• How they strike down / end the party
• Why it’s hard work—but worth it

Highlights, Jokes, and Standout Bits

Outtakes / “Cluster Warning”

Craig teases that the video has so many wild outtakes it might “stop people from watching.” The “best” moments include awkward meta-jokes, him worrying about copyrighted phrases, and Tom/Ryland slipping off-script immediately.

“Deluxe = improved kids party with adult wow factor”

They describe deluxe shows as bringing illusion-show scale into village halls and homes—often with brutal loading constraints such as:

• stairs
• narrow doors
• limited lift access

Loading-in strategy + time discipline

They emphasize:

• planning extra time
• contingencies for late arrivals and parking issues
• treating load-in as the hardest part of the job
• customizing the show to each venue

Energy warm-up system for kid control

A memorable teaching segment shows how they train kids to obey cues using a repeating call-and-response game:

• “Scream super loud” (with “one, two, three” timing)
• learn when to clap
• then learn to get “super quiet” fast

It’s delivered like a game, with comedic coaching about saying it the “correct” way.

Opening illusion tone-setter: “Look no see” Coke/Sprite bit

They highlight a strong opener where the drink “changes,” culminating in a big visual payoff—plus kid-friendly confusion and clear participation cues.

Competition + fear’s K-pop act

They run a playful contest where kids are encouraged to cheer for Fear while Tom is framed as “rubbish,” ending in a K-pop-themed performance with impressive silk transitions.

Tom’s humiliation-comedy illusion: Spike/Spar wrap

Tom is turned into a reluctant “glamorous assistant,” dressed up and placed into a cage with spikes while Fear hands out the spikes. There’s a running joke about how dangerous it looks versus how staged/controlled it is, including a story about it going through Tom’s jeans once.

“Kid becomes magician” hat routine

Kids participate in a Top-Hat-from-pad style trick, then get upgraded with a wand pull/appearance moment, followed by a teddy-bear production using card/selection-style methods. They stress this section is engineered for huge photo moments for parents.

Assistance Revenge / “Ropes of Death” escapology chaos (phone/Uber Eats twist)

The funniest “live comedy” segment: Thea is tied up for an escape act, but the bit derails into her “escape” being interrupted by a phone/chaos setup—leading to a ridiculous moment where she’s caught doing something like Uber Eats instead of following the script.

Adult-facing big moments (sponsors / photo opportunities)

They include dramatic, camera-friendly illusions such as:

• a dramatic “fly” illusion on a bar/table for adults to photograph in awe
• “Liquid glass” (glass-breaking illusion) with high theatrical staging and K-pop style movement

Shoe-turning “Shuburn” reworked

Instead of the original shoe-on-smoke/fire approach, they describe a more practical version:

• a shoe is borrowed from a child
• it’s “sent off” like an Amazon delivery using boxes/cases/tipover-trunk style
• then it returns

They explain it as a safer alternative after smoke-machine complications.

Final big “flattening/trap” style illusion with the birthday kid

The show ends with a huge dramatic illusion involving the birthday kid “being the magician,” featuring:

• lights and controls
• dedicated photo time
• a flashy reveal designed for maximum camera-ready payoff

Backups and realism

A recurring lesson: they always pack backups—multiple alternative tricks, spare equipment, and different finishing illusions—because things break or venues restrict certain effects.

After-show schedule

They outline:

• striking down
• ballooning
• party games
• rapid load-out to avoid extra venue rental charges
• then a long drive/unload back at the warehouse

Overall Tone / What Makes It Stand Out

It’s basically a “how-to” video disguised as a comedy sketch: behind-the-scenes logistics, constantly undercut by improvised jokes, meta commentary, and Tom/Ryland’s unpredictable, off-script energy—balanced with genuinely detailed instruction on making a deluxe show run smoothly.
