Easy Magic Tricks – No Assumptions

This easy magic trick will show you how to do a simple card trick and teach your friends not to make assumptions.

The Trick: You happen to be in a room with a group of friends and a pack of cards. Here’s how to make some easy money out of them with a simple card trick. Start by asking someone to pick any card from the deck, show the rest of the people in the room and then slide the card back into the pack. You shuffle the deck and then start turning the cards over one by one until you see the card that your friend choose. At this point you bet everyone in the room a certain amount of money, perhaps $1 or $5, that the next card you turn over will be the one that was originally selected.

Magic Tricks – Black Art

Black art is an old form of magic that is rarely used today in its original form.  The effect black art produces is fantastic, it is as close to trick photography as you can get without a camera!

A magician practising black art will find a stage and dim the lights.  While he and his assistants are wearing white, the audience can see them.  The performers then command items to appear and move around.  Versions of ’sawing a woman in half’ are performed and you can see the two halves moving round the stage, only to be melted back together, or just vanish.  The possibilities are endless, and all leave the audience feeling mystified.

How Did They Do That? Types Of Magic Tricks

There are many kinds of magic tricks, but most fall into one of a few categories. Oftentimes, a magician will specialize in one or a few areas. For those who employ a range of techniques, they will often develop some type of persona or specialty act to differentiate themselves from other performers. Just as other entertainers often find a niche, so too do magicians.

While no type of magic is particularly easy, some types are common for beginning magicians, such as learning sleight of hand tricks. Most magicians know a core base of tricks, and then develop their particular repertoire from there. Read the rest of this entry »
