Reply to: Best magic trick you've seen

[TimberWolf]

One where they guy said that someone had drawn a house, with a sun, a matchstalk cat, and written cat. That was mine.

How on earth could he know, answer also below


its called the one ahead trick. The first envelope was from a stooge in the audience. While he described the stooges picture, he was actually looking at mine. the stooge nodded. The second envelope, he described mine but was looking at someone elses piccie.

One of my favourite card tricks works the same way. You ask someone to pick a card whose location in the deck laid out in front of him face down you know, then pick up the card he selected and 'check it' and say 'yes, that's correct (or whatever), then ask him to pick the card you have actually just picked up. After he picks another, you finish by picking up the one you had stashed in the deck. Then ask him to name the three cards, which you now hold.

That too. It was a very, very nice day.

Pedantic, I know, but it wasn't a birthday present.

There lies a facinating insight into how your mind works baggy.

I for one am quite scared now.

Best present Mrs. Dalek has bought for me was a magic trick called "Deep Astonishment". Not surprisingly, it does induce deep astonishment when performed correctly.

Are you sure you didn't just highlight the text like the OP suggested?

Er, what?

[Bagpuss]

Because I collect magic tricks. I am the worst (and I mean worst) magician on the planet, but like knowing how they work. Best (for the price) ever is Deep Astonishment with the Rising Card trick thrown in to give it a touch of sparkle.

Uri Geller, Derren Brown et al can read the top of the pen they supply. Ever noticed that the pen is always rather long? That's so they can see it move.
