Magic tricks revealed is something no magician likes to share with anyone, i will give you a few tips on one of the best kept secrets a magician uses to fool his audience and how he does this, it is but one of the tools he has up his sleeve to amaze his onlookers.


Sleight Of Hand

This has to be one of the all time favorites that any magician uses to amaze his audience ,have you ever seen a magician ask a member of the audience to approach the stage or have them sit at a table to show them a trick close up. And the member of the audience thinks that because they are so close to the magician that surely they can't be fooled . So with keen eyes the audience member focuses on the magic trick hoping to see something that may give the show away. Now giving the fact that the magician is excepting this from the audience member to look closely at his every move, his only option is to use sleight of hand.


Using This Technique

A professional magician will master this method to the point where it looks natural with every move he makes, he does it in a way where every move he does with his hands is in a natural flowing motion. He will use a split second to distract the audience member so to perform his trick, it is really astounding the way they do it, and in this case the hand is quicker than the eye. The audience member is left amazed at what just happened, and leaves the stage wondering how the heck they did it, it is of course the magician using the sleight of hand technique.


When Doing This Technique

When learning to do the sleight of hand technique ,you must make it look natural to the audience member ,you must learn to master every move before hand. There should not be any obvious jerking movements with your hands you should perform the trick deliberately and slowly and naturally as possible, so to give your audience no clue as to how it's done, otherwise if you do even one single movement out of place it can mean disaster. Sleight of hand is used to perform many amazing tricks such as using rings, coins, cards to make them disappear and reappear again.There are many books that teach you these methods from, magic cards revealed , to street magic revealed, and a favorite of mine the secrets of magic revealed, all have the information you need to study the art of magic. Check out these books from Amazon to educate yourself even more.

It's funny, I love magic, and every time I see a magician perform something, I'm desperate to find out how they do it. Usually, when I find out, I'm so disappointed. I try and not look behind the curtain anymore, it ruins the mystique...
