The red you see is his finger, he painted his nail/finger red. He makes us looks at his left by saying "if you look here" I think thats how this goes, idk just guessing Its an illusion, especially when he passed the ball left to right multiple times.

I once came across a person who INSISTED that magic does in fact exist and famous magicians are doing actual magic. Funnily enough there was someone else there who was a magician skilled enough to be in the magic castle who tried to convince him otherwise but he wasn't having any of it

@frosthammer917 Год назад

That actually happened with Houdini and Conan Doyle(the author of Sherlock) as well. Doyle was very into spiritual things and was convinced his then friend Houdini was am actual magician. Houdini on the other hand was very open about the fact he was just doing tricks and actually spent a lot of time disproving claims of magic and supernatural. It became a big issue between them and drove them apart as one was convinced the other was hiding his supernatural secrets and the other couldn't understand how anyone could be so dense as not to get that magic doesn't exist.

@plantpot shoes I'm like 306% sure that what he means by it's still being sold is that you could learn how to do the trick by paying the original magician money to take a class, such as how they have classes to teach magic. That, plus the original inventor could sell the rights to do the trick to another magician and stop doing the trick for the right price, etc.

Yeah, if they are actually eating the glass, first they have to grind down the sharp edges with their teeth and swallow the pieces (unless they only chew a few small pieces and leave them in their gums). Then after the show, they vomit it all back up. Now imaging practicing that trick over and over.

I think Penn/Teller is one of the first to openly call what they do magic "tricks" which is very honest, but still retain the mystery of "how they do it" quality to it.

@andrewsuryali8540 4 года назад

They're not the first. Traditionally, magicians in 19th century Europe would sign confessions to the local constabulary stating that what they did was trickery and that they were defrauding people. This was intended to avoid the potentially more devastating legal (and at times, physical) consequences of being found guilty of witchcraft, thanks to many European localities not bothering to update their laws for centuries. Also, in some places people did believe in magic in the torches and pitchforks kind of way.

That question about telling a sick kid if magic is real or not, I had to answer my children when it came to Santa. I was very careful about this because I remember how shattered I felt when I was told that it wasn't a real person. I told my sons that Santa is a spirit that moves and lives inside people to create the magic and wonder of the season. Because of this, they never had to have a hard shift and it seems to have made it easier for them to get into that spirit themselves.

Slight of hand, probably went in his sleeve. It never leaves the first hand, the hand off is faked, tucked squished into first hand, while you are watching the second hand receive it looking for it, the other discards or hides, then the reveal of the hand with no ball, and the other also free of ball. Lap or table fall could leave evidence afterwards, concealing is the trick.
