Movie magic is REAL, people.
We see things in movies and we totally fall for them. But that’s kind of the point, right? We’re supposed to think they’re real.
But sometimes the magic is so good we get blindsided when we find out that we were completely fooled.
It’s in that spirit that we present some folks from the Buzzfeed Community who were tricked, bamboozled and snowed.

“My dad always thought Lindsay Lohan had a twin, and it was only a few years ago that I told him she was NOT a twin. He didn’t believe me until I showed him all the proof.”

“I thought Genovia was a real country until my freshman year of college. Some girls and I were sitting around our dorm talking about the top places we wanted to visit, and I legitimately said Genovia was at the top of my list. Someone had to break it to me that it was totally fake. I’m still upset about it to this day!”
Gotcha!
