How do Magic Tricks work?


Semjase

Recommended Posts

I rest my case on this video.

How anyone could say that all spectators

and events were faked is beyond me.

This makes a case for telekinesis

if there ever was one.

spectators do not have to be fake to be deceived by illusion.

people like this depend on how the brain works with optics and reaction.

check into a show called brain games.

This really sounds more like a job for Penn and Teller. But if I were to answer your question: "How do magic tricks work?" I'd have to say it is a fine amalgamation of theatrics, prestidigitation, applied sciences, human naiveté, and creativity. Chriss Angel just has a natural flair for fooling the simple minded. But it's not really fair to say that I guess, considering how it seems not one person can properly explain how he performs his superhuman acts. But on the other hand if he were to explain how he did his tricks it would seem so simple would it not? But I suppose that can be said for anything really.

 

At any rate I'd start with trying to understand smaller tricks to get an idea of how the bigger ones work. Start with learning how to make a coin dissappear, or a card trick or something of the sort. You never know, you might even get a new hobby out of it it.
