The title had me mislead quite heavily, a better one would be “Zach King Breaks Down His Favourite Props”. I’m afraid I’m going to have to dislike for a misleading title.
*[EDIT: They changed the title form **_”Zach King Breaks Down His Best Magic Tricks”_** to **_”Inside Zach King’s Illusion Prop Studio”,_** and thus I’ll remove my dislike]*

Relying on cameras kills the magic of, well, magic. I prefer old fashioned illusion, sleight of hand and stuff like that, something that works just as well in real life as it does on camera. At this point it’s almost no different than “regular” CGI. The stuff he does is still fun and impressive in it’s own right, but not my cup of tea, I’m afraid. It’s the same stuff that was used in making of Lord of The Rings and Hobbit series.

  Most people who click on the video know who Zach King is, so they’ll know the type of magic he does whether or not it aligns with your idea of magic.

  @Arjun Kumar Oh, look, they changed the title from “Zach King Breaks Down His Best Magic Tricks” to “Inside Zach King’s Illusion Prop Studio”. Would people know who he is? I didn’t, I’m subscribed to this channel for a variety of things. Was the first title heavily misleading? Yes. Is this one better? Yes.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

1 day ago

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
