Magic

Lately, I've been watching magic trick tutorials, even the number/math tricks. I have loved magic ever since I was young, and I used to believe that what magicians do have no cheats. But as I grow older (sucks), I have known that what the magicians show aren't REAL magic tricks. Even though they (tricks) all seem so complicated, there would always be a cheat behind it.

One technique that magicians must practice is the sleight of hand. It's the ability to use your hands skillfully, quickly, cleverly. Most coin magic tricks, disappearing and appearing ones, are mostly done with this technique. Another one is magicians must learn how to distract the audience effectively without the audience noticing that they are being distracted. In this way, the magicians are able to do the secret trick. This is done in illusions, like the twisting of the arm, in putting something in the persons pocket to say that the thing disappeared and that thing's inside the pocket of the observer/audience.

For a magician, the one who's really a bigtime magician, they follow three rules:
1) Never ever do the same trick in front of the same audience. The audience might be very observative the second time around, and they might know the trick and get bored.

2) Never share the secret.

3) Practice and practice and practice.

Learning magic tricks is a very hard thing to do. You must be patient enough to practice for the magic to look real. You must memorize every move, because one wrong move affects the whole performance.
