AMAZING Card Trick Leaves Penn and Teller Puzzled

This guy actually manages to pull off a card trick that famous
magicians Penn and Teller agree "fooled" them even though they know how
he did it. They claim he just did it so well, they "should have been
fooled."

The worst public entertainer ever

Living in a place like New York City, you see a lot of different street
performers. Some good, some not so good, but none as bad as this guy.
Apparently spotted in Paris, the person filming him was the largest
crowd he could gather.

We've always been a fan of Southpark's addictively witty satire, but we recently discovered you can watch all, and we mean (almost) ALL, their episodes online for free no matter where you are! The site is completely legal and the quality is usually top-notch.

Another great short by STA Travel Australia that looks at some of the amazing opportunities gained from backpacking and travelling the world. We're very jealous! 

Move: A Short by STA Travel Australia

We figured this one is pretty self-explanatorily awesome. Some guys went around the world, shot 1 second of film in  different locations, and put it all together to make a video we really, really like. 

STA Travel Australia paid for Rick Mereki, Andrew Lees and Tim White to go on a six-week travel bonanza around the world recording some stunning shorts showcasing the best things about travelling. Look out for the follow up shorts Eat and Learn coming to Videos We Like soon!

Check out this video by Australian social activist group GetUp! who is playing an important part in the current fight to allow gay marriage in Australia. It’s gorgeously done, has a fantastic message, and has a really nice way of casting aside some very negative stereotypes.

The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On

An amazing, well edited look at one of the most iconic images of recent times. We love the type-face. 

Groundhog Day Explained by C.G.P Grey

El Rey by California is a Place

This is not the first time we've featured the work of Californiaisaplace.com on our site, but finally they are where they belong in our brand new video section. This short , which was fantastically well shot with gorgeous visuals, an epic plot, and great sound, is just the latest from these guys to explore the colorful, diverse and sometimes troubled and divided state that they call home. Their focus this time, the Mariachi.
