Blue_Eggz Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have seen a lot of Criss Angel and whatever and I was very intregued by how he does most of his tricks (walking on water, floating, etc.) If you know any form of magic or tricks please share here or post your opinion on this.

If you're thinking that this magic you see is in any way real, you're playing right into thier hands. That's what they want you to think. There's nothing special about these people. They can just revert your attention away from what thier trick is, be it through an object, mirrors or appealing to an act that generates all of your attention. No doubt that some are great at what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're thinking that this magic you see is in any way real, you're playing right into thier hands. That's what they want you to think. Well obviously, but it looks so real and so cool (I know how he does the floating trick). It's not that I believe it, but they do a good job at making it seem real.

Ive most recently seen Penn & Teller in Vegas, I thought they were amazing, even after supposedly telling you how they did it you still cant work it out. Amazing :D Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.

Bubsa Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Criss Angel..."Real Magic"... This whole thread is oxymoronic. I have no problem when people say it's an illusion to entertain, but magic? No no. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron8000 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 You'll like this post, not a lot, but you'll like it. Of course its all trickery and not real magic, but that doesnt make it any less entertaining for me - some of those illusionists must be really smart people. kudos to anyone who gets the first line btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 P&T do it in a way which makes it even more incredible that not knowing at all. Then they do the trick again and complete it a different way that they don't tell you about so you are totally gob smacked. Best magic act ive ever seen.

Bloodredsword Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Heres a nice but simple one items needed: Coffe Mug circular sponge(or just cut a square one, must fit into bottom of mug,inside) Basically what you do it glue the sponge to the bottom of the mug.. Then get a small ammount(not so big that the sponge won't absorb it) of scalding liquid(preferably coffe) and pour it in Then pretend to pour it on someone and, voila!, nothing comes out PRACTICE BEFORE ATTEMPTING!!! :wink: Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword.

Flametrooper Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I don't call that magic. I call it illusionism. Better word - Magic implies you're actually doing something that's, you know, really supernatural. Which I've never seen any stage performer do, and likely never will. Besides, I like the sound of illusionism. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viktorkrum77 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I do magic! I got my first wand when I was seven. I still have it today, and even though I'm graduated and pursuing a career in Quidditch that doesn't mean I still don't love to do magic. Ah, I remember the good ol' days when I used to play pranks on my roommates. :lol: Don't get it? Look at my name. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
