11 Lies and Tricks TV Producers Used to Fool The Viewers
With the help of CGI, we can see how magic happens in movies. On the other hand, TV does exactly the same thing to fool people who watch it at home. Still, there's no CGI or any advanced technology, TV producers used to get some simple tricks to make viewers believe in what they see in the show.
It's no need to say that these low-tech tricks result in great effects for TV shows because they still made a hit with a great number of loyal fans. However, people might not know the facts behind these successful programs.
Today, we've compiled a list of 11 lies and tricks that TV producers used to make a fool out of us. Below are the most unbelievable ones to share, scroll down and check them out!
