“Second Key to Success in This Racket Is Cocaine” Face Swap Template

Recreate an Iconic Wolf of Wall Street Moment With AI Face Swap

This template lets you drop yourself (or anyone else) into the infamous Mark Hanna lunch scene from The Wolf of Wall Street, where Hanna turns to Jordan Belfort and says: “Second key to success in this racket is this little baby right here. It’s called cocaine. It’ll keep you sharp between the ears.”

Built on Magic Hour’s AI-powered Face Swap technology, this template is designed for fast, realistic meme-style edits you can remix in minutes—no video-editing experience required.

What This Template Is Best For

  • Meme and reaction content: Turn a notorious line about “success” into commentary on hustle culture, burnout, startup life, or finance.
  • Marketing & growth content: Swap in founders, execs, or influencers to poke fun at “toxic productivity” or extreme sales culture.
  • Educational breakdowns: Use the scene as a hook to talk about ethics, regulation, or the real history behind Jordan Belfort and Wall Street excess.
  • Creator branding: Make recurring characters or running jokes by consistently swapping your face into the same cinematic moment.

How the Face Swap Template Works

This template is powered by Magic Hour’s Face Swap Video workflow. Under the hood, it uses deep-learning–based facial mapping and blending to track facial movements, lighting, and expressions frame by frame, then replace the original actor’s face with your chosen face while preserving:

  • Head movement, lip motion, and expressions
  • Scene lighting and color
  • Original audio, pacing, and timing

The result is a short, shareable clip that looks like you were actually in the scene, without having to touch complex tools like After Effects or motion tracking.

How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You don’t have to start from scratch. To create your own version of this template inside Magic Hour:

  1. Open Face Swap Video
    Go to Face Swap Video. This is where you’ll create or remix any clip that swaps one face onto another.
  2. Upload or select a source clip
    Use the Wolf-of-Wall-Street-style clip provided in the template (if available in your library) or upload your own short video where a character delivers a strong, punchy line. Short, high-contrast scenes with a clear shot of the face typically perform best for realism.
  3. Add your target face
    Upload a clear image or short video of the face you want to insert—this could be:
  4. Run the face swap
    Let Magic Hour process the video. The system automatically tracks facial landmarks and blends the new face into each frame of the clip.
  5. Refine and export
    Preview the result, make any creative tweaks you want by re-running with a different face or clip, then export for posting to TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, or internal presentations.

Advanced Remix Ideas for Creators & Teams

  • Founders & startup parody: Swap in a founder’s face and use the line as a satire of unsustainable startup culture, “growth at all costs,” or unhealthy work habits. Pair with thought-leadership commentary in the caption.
  • Sales and finance humor: Use the scene to joke about aggressive sales targets, market volatility, or hype-driven investing. This works especially well on LinkedIn with a serious explanation in the post text.
  • Educational explainer + hook: Open your video with the face-swapped scene, then cut to a straight-to-camera breakdown on topics like:
    • Ethics in finance and regulation
    • The real story of Jordan Belfort
    • Why “shortcut” mindsets backfire in business
  • Paired with lip-sync or talking-photo content: Combine this template with tools like:
    • Lip Sync — to create additional clips where your character continues the speech with new audio.
    • AI Talking Photo — to turn static images of your character into talking reaction assets for your content calendar.

Content, Ethics, and Responsible Use

The original quote in this scene is deliberately extreme and satirical, reflecting the moral collapse and excess portrayed in The Wolf of Wall Street. When you remix it:

  • Use it as commentary or satire—not as actual advice.
  • Avoid misleading viewers about what’s real versus edited, especially in professional contexts.
  • Get consent before using the likeness of colleagues, clients, or public figures where it might be sensitive.

These practices align with emerging best practices around deepfakes, synthetic media, and AI-generated content as discussed across media and AI ethics communities.

Who This Template Is For

  • Creators: Short-form video creators, YouTubers, and streamers who need punchy, meme-ready assets that still feel polished.
  • Marketers & growth teams: Performance marketers, brand strategists, and social teams experimenting with high-engagement, reference-heavy content.
  • Startup builders & operators: Founders, operators, and sales leaders who want quick, on-brand visuals to support content on culture, incentives, and ethics.
