[RichieBees]

[dookiekong007]

i kinda agree too, but at the same time, nowadays, who doesnt know what a backpalm is, what really important is the skill

[PomBare]

Does anybody know who the magician in a segment from this show (that isnt up here) who made a woman reappear and then thew a cloth over a template of a painting and quickly removed it to reveal a full painting? It was set to oepratic music. The talking heads on the show never discussed it. I didn't catch the name of the magician

You aren't a performer. You may do tricks for your friends or family, but you don't understand the psychology behind magic. Everybody knows that magic isn't real - a manipulation is taking place, but laymen guess what the manipulation is. People aren't stupid so they can make possibilities in their head. Your job is to take away those possibilities with sleights and sucker moves. Look at 6:06 to see how Channing does it

@killazerg1 You so funny! ok, you want proof, send me a camcorder than I'll post it on YT. With that said, I ask, do you know ";" does not replace an apostrophe? I don't think so. I guess you are so old school because nowadays I bet 90% of people from developed nations know when you do manipulations, the cards pretty much go behind the hands, that has become a standard in this society. Once again, it's the skill that sets magicians from laymen.

@dookiekong007

Not if you shuffle the card to the front when you show the back. Doing that makes the effect sort of a sucker routine where it makes the spectator believe and then question his reasoning. With that said, I ask, do you perform? I don;t think you perform this because laymen do not know, they guess. The shuffle makes then think twice about guessing your technique

[dookiekong007]

@killazerg1 "who"="layman". Almost everyone knows the card goes behind the hand, it's the difficulty that impresses them.

@dookiekong007

Not amongst layman

Seeing the footage of these awe inspiring masters is amazing. When I was growing up as a young magician, I could only see some of this footage by kowing people that had access to it. Most could only see photos in books. In that regard, the internet and youtube are brilliant.

Where can I see this whole documentary? Or buy it?
