Thanks Bill, for pointing out, what should be self-evident for every magician. I'll never understand, why some magicians are eager to saw off the branch they're sitting on. Most laymen I talk with show a better understanding of the importance of the secret than many magicians. The one thing, every layman knows about magic is, that magicians don't tell their secrets, and most are happy to agree to this basic principle.

Very cogent post, Bill. Should be required reading to get into the Café...
Also known, when doing rope magic, as "Cordini"

I am not sure it is true. People with a small amount of knowlege are usually the easiest to fool.

There is a big difference between:
not knowing how it's done AND knowing it can't be done. There is an even bigger difference between: knowing how it's done but not seeing it AND knowing it can't be done. Which reaction would you prefer: A) "That's quite cool, you didn't even flash when you palmed that card and put it in your pocket." B) "That's just impossible! I was holding the selected card the whole time so it can't be in your pocket! It just can't be there! What?!?!?!!! It IS there!? This is the freakiest thing I have ever seen in my life!" Another example: Let's assume that a magician turns over the top card of the deck. He then turns it face down again and appears to put it on the table. He then turns around the card and it is now an ace. His double lift was flaweless but you know that that's the method. Are you entertained? I wouldn't be. If the patter was entertaining you could be entertained. But why not leave the magic part out and just use the patter? |

Who can argue exposure is right when its in an entertainment context?
