    They should probably have stayed a secret imho.

    People know its not real.. its lame when they know how they have been fooled. Leave em wondering.

      Well duh!

      A new exhibit, "A.K.A. Houdini," opened Wednesday at the Outagamie Museum, revealing how Houdini, handcuffed inside a sack and locked in a trunk, somehow managed to switch places with an assistant on the outside.

      (IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW IT, DO NOT READ THE NEXT PARAGRAPH.)

      Among other things, the trunk has a side panel that allows someone inside to sneak out.
      no shit Sherlock . . .. who would have thunk it?

        I think it's good

        Magicians say their code of ethics prohibits revealing secrets to the public.
        Only cos theyll need to think up new tricks and stop being repetitive

          I can't wait to read all about it, though it's spoiled it really. Should have stayed a secret IMHO.

              It won't be nice to know the secrets to tricks they do. It'll make the whole thing boring.

                like it says in the article, you may know the mechanics of the trick its still a neat thing to see it in practice, and have it done right

                  Houdinis secrets arent that special.
                  in the book "the life and many deaths of Harry Houdini" they talk a lot about how he used to just exaggerate shit = and that fooled the public.


                  Now just remember he lived in an age where peopel were less educated (for the most part) there was no access to TVs and magazines or such for information.
                  All he used to do was stick a really big padlock on and peopel thought it must be REALLY hard to get out just because the padlock was BIG (which actually makes it EASIER to get out)

                  ppl were just more stupid and gullible back then.
                  My ex is a successful magician here in Oz I used to assist him - I got offered a job to work with Silver grand Magic as the assistant and I can tell you the 3 most basic principles of magic:

                  Black on black is invisible
                  smoke puffs are your best friend
                  there's no obstacle a set of felixible identical twins cant fix

                                      LOL the metamorphosis secret has been out for years!

                                      Magicians have been doing it non-stop ever since he did.

                                      I grew up wanting to be a magician and I remember reading books on how the trick was done when I was a kid.

                                          The trick really isn't done in "3 seconds"

                                          IT's all going on while they are "preparing."

                                          ONce the lid is shut on the box or whatever the magician is placed in he's already working on getting out of the shackles while they secure the box on the outside.

                                          As soon as that's complete he's already ready to get out of the trunk...while she stands on top of the trunk she's adjusting the curtain he's out you just can't see him...She pulls up the curtain NOW YOU CAN START COUNTING THE SO CALLED 3 SECONDS.
                                          During that time is when they make the switch....now while they try to unshackle the box she's inside putting the cuffs/shackles on herself.

                                            thats just my opinion

                                            for me its at to a point where I can just watch a trick and know who's its done without being told because most tricks follow standard formats
                                            so I REALLY enjoy it when I see a really clever new trick.,. but of course 5 minutes later it annoys the shit out of me trying to work it out

                                              IT's all going on while they are "preparing."

                                              ONce the lid is shut on the box or whatever the magician is placed in he's already working on getting out of the shackles while they secure the box on the outside.

                                              As soon as that's complete he's already ready to get out of the trunk...while she stands on top of the trunk she's adjusting the curtain he's out you just can't see him...She pulls up the curtain NOW YOU CAN START COUNTING THE SO CALLED 3 SECONDS.
                                              During that time is when they make the switch....now while they try to unshackle the box she's inside putting the cuffs/shackles on herself.

                                                      guess so. it would keep other magicians on their toes.

                                                          I am still amazed by his death. So they did not spoil anything for me.
