![]() Greetings All:
Ok, I used to be an award winning member of the Society of American Magicians for several years. Don't act so surprised, I'm a faggot wtf did you expect? The awards that I won were in "slight of hand", but I'm well versed in all areas of the art. Because of years of study, I know how virtually all "magic tricks" and "illusions" are done, so if you ever wanted to be demystified, ask in here and I shall answer! I've actually met many famous magicians in person on many different occasions (including David Copperfield), and have attended lectures by some of the best. Now I just think it's all pretty god damn gay, so ask away! Secrets Revealed! ![]() ![]() |

I know all of the "street magic" tricks.
All you have to do is go to your local magic shop.

1. developed by Harry Anderson (he was the judge from night court and a well known stage magician) about 5 years back known as the "Needle Through The Arm Trick". http://www.ellusionist.com/order/needle-through-arm.htm Basically the kit came with a jar of rubber cement to glue folds of skin together, and a prop needle that had a hollow tube and some well made stage blood ![]() 2. Utilizing "the raven" device which is used by many magicians for effects requiring movement or vanishment. http://www.magictricks.com/closeup/raven.htm Basically a rare earth medal magnet attached to a piece of elastic with some fishing line coming from the end of one end where the magnet is, and a safety pin at another. |

The pop can was partially emptied through a pin hole then sealed, allowing it to condense. The can was then partially collapsed, and a secondary "cap" was added which makes the can appear open, he later "palms" that cap off to reveal the true unopened cap beneath. Notice he "shakes it" which allows the remaining contents to fiz and expand enough to cause the the condensed can to expand. |

For the "true life" levetation he uses an overly gimmicked variant of what's known as the "bengali levitation". Basically it involves having a shoe with the heel cut away from the sole, then standing on your tippy toes. With a side angle at the right distance, spectators can't see that you're litterally standing on 1 foot, on your tippy toes, because the shoes both "levetate", while your foot is hidden by perspective. The rest of it is plain and simpy wires, stooges, and camera manipulation. Many in the "industry" look down upon his specials for mixing "magic" in with "camera tricks". |

The "open" sign was attached to the wall, not the glass, allowing it to stay stationary, and creating the illusion that the glass was staying still when in fact it was moving up and down. The guy in the room with Chris was a stooge. |

There are really 2 classes when it comes to "stage illusion" which most of the big names fall in. 1. The performers 2. The inventors The real "magic" is created by craftsmen and engineers who devise, develop, and create the actually "tricks" that you see on TV and at the large stage shows. Experts and artisans in electrical engineering, cabinet making, lighting design, and so on. Those "in the industry" know and appreciate the names of these creative and talented people, the public never will. The "performers" are those like David Copperfield that have the stage presence and personality to turn some fancy cabinetry and electrical work into "magic". |

The slight of hand move here is known as the "front palm". The front palm involves using the thumb and index finger to curve cards inward toward your palm, holding them there until the "take". The take occurs rather quickly when the magician is showing you his hand is empty. If you look, there is a VERY brief second when he's about to show you his palm when his hand overlaps the edge of the table, allowing his to drop the cards into a small pouch (known creatively as the "drop bag") that's hanging off of the back of it. There is also a "back palm" which is a technique that allows the magician to literally clip a card between his fingers from behind so that cards seem to "vanish" into thin air, when in reality they're being held behind his hand by the folds of skin between his fingers. These techniques are VERY difficult to perform fluently, and are ones that I literally spent a couple of years in my spare time mastering. I hate it, but I actually forget this performer's name. He's truely a giant in closeup magic. He performed this routine (Which you see here) in a TV special many years back called "The World's Greatest Magicians" that also featured Jeff McBride. Truly the #1 close up card magician that ever existed, who's responsible for developing many new techniques, including those performed by David Copperfield on one of his TV specials (the 4 aces). |

A question for BoyAlley - I have very long, skinny fingers (think of the "facehugger" in Alien). Where can I get a decent thumbtip? The Vernet thumbtip I've got is a bit obvious.

You know what I ended up doing? Buying one the CHEAPEST versions that I could find and using a lighter on the end of it to melt the plastic some and stretch and shape the tip. Just don't put the heat source too close to the tip or you'll blacken it. Did the job just fine! All of the guys thought I spent a fortune on a custom molded prop. ![]() |
