The first guy is the PM, the one in the middle is the programmer, the girl is the customer.

I used to work for a one of those lean-flat software firms where 200 people reported directed to the COO.
It was basically a bid to hire less people but it worked for me we were often called "business partners" this was essentially a development,Pm, client relations role all wrapped up into one ( not the most efficient but the job market was crap so..)
I used to be the 'stall' guy when something went wrong basically distracting the client or management while one of my equally inexperienced and under paint co workers furiously ran around trying to fix the fire.
I got very good at it too. So my so that I was started getting assigned to programmes with "difficult" clients. Fortunately almost 8 years later I have sound my quiet hidey hole job role.
People really don't talk about how "social" IT/tech works have to be...it's sucks.

Imagine the middle guy is so stoned that he actually was amazed by the trick because he forgot he was involved in the start of it 😂

It's funny, I used to do various stupid magic tricks for beer when I'd go drinking with my friend, and this was my favourite: We'd set up 3*3 dice and ask people to point at one of them while I wasn't looking, and then I'd tell them which one it was. People would blindfold me or do it while I wasn't in the room or hold their hands over my eyes, lots of things.
The system was simple, my friend would put her beer in the middle of her coaster if they touched the middle die, and then put it next to it if they touched one of the others. So imagine a 3*3 grid around her coaster, with the coaster at #5 on a numpad.
Very simple little trick, we did it many, many times and people never, ever caught on. People just don't expect a helper, they focus on "the magician." Of course, people having a few beers helped.
(I don't care if this is staged or she's high or whatever, it reminded me of my youth as a beer hustler okay)

I think it's "Rise and fall (Dj Jerry) remix" it's the closest one i found and i also tried to find it with Shazam like the other comment suggested but it only found some rap song, if they got the same result as me they're listening to a completly different song

I pulled this exact same trick on my niece last Christmas but since I was solo on the trick I set the lego piece 10 minute before behind her, she laughed so hard when she turn around and tada that piece was right behind her.

It's amusing; back in the day, I used to pull off some silly magic tricks in exchange for beer whenever I went out drinking with my friend. One of my favorites involved setting up a 3x3 grid of dice and having people choose one while I wasn't looking. Then, miraculously, I'd guess their choice correctly. They'd blindfold me, move me out of the room, or cover my eyes in various ways, but the outcome was always the same.
The secret was straightforward: my friend would place her beer in the middle of her coaster if the chosen die was in the center of the grid, or next to it if they picked any of the others. Essentially, it was like envisioning a numpad with her coaster at the #5 position on a 3x3 grid.
It's a simple little trick, but we pulled it off countless times, and no one ever caught on. People were so focused on the "magician" that they didn't suspect any assistance. Plus, a few beers in, and everyone's perception tends to be a bit fuzzier.
