    Card on the other side of the glass trick...

    Ok, I'm watching Cris Angel...he just threw a deck of cards at the windshield of a moving bus. One of the cards, which was signed by a passenger landed on the outside of the windshield.

    I've seen David Blaine do this too. How the FUCK is this done?

                  The passenger is actually his assistant and signed TWO cards -- one stayed inside the bus, the other "magically" appeared outside the bus. I'm sure the fake "passenger" seemed amazed by the trick, right?

                      Ok, even if the passenger is in on it and signed two cards, that still doesn't explain how the card instantly appears on the opposite side of the glass...

                          You saw this on tv? Um, they stopped taping, pulled the bus over, put the card on the windshield, and started taping again?

                          Damned if Samantha from Bewitched couldn't make herself disappear and reappear like that too!

                                  Well, considering it is a TV show, the whole thing could be fixed. The bus could be rented, the people might not be real spectators, and the footage might be edited. All of this is possible, but one thing is for sure, it isn't done by magic.

                                  The best tricks are card tricks used with gaff cards or a regular deck. The big production magic is too fake these days, but the smaller stuff, even if gaffed, is still effective.

                                  BTW: I never saw Chris Angels show, so I don't really want to comment too much about it. But what I said is probably the case.

                                      Chris Angel does shows in Vegas, Live.. just as David Blaine does is NY. Right in the street, with 100's of people watching.

                                      Nobody is working for him on the bus, nobody stopped the bus and helped out..

                                      If anything Chris Angel makes David Blaine look like a joke.

                                          its placed there really fast , throwing the cards is the distraction.

                                          I have seen magicians do it into a spinning wheel of a bicycle

                                              Naturally he has made a deal with other beings and now can wield scary dark supernatural powers.

                                                  I saw his MindFreak show - or part of it - the other night and I was impressed, trickery or not.

                                                  He sets himself on fire in Las Vegas, walks around forever, does a face plant on a mat and within 2 seconds of the assistants using fire extinguishers to put him out there is no body, just what looks like his charred clothes and HE is one of the assistants blowing out the fire.

                                                      The one I really like about David Blaine was when he's doing that gravity defying stunt.

                                                                                                                                      He "levitated" a woman in the middle of the street, floating in mid air. It wasn't magic, but it wasn't anyone standing on their heel in a certain way either. Watch the god damned link I posted.
                                                                                                                                      Ok...Blaine's levitation is what she's talking about, I saw the reveal on that...they used a green screen and crane to lift him.

                                                                                                                                      I'm sure Angel's levitation was also done with a green screen and video editing and EVERYONE in that vid was in on it.

                                                                                                                                      Point is...these tricks can ONLY be done with VIDEO EDITING...
