Amazing card tricks from Lennart Green

Al — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:16:27 +0000

Now here’s a guy I’d like to see more of. This act is clever, intelligent, well thought out, targeted at his audience and incredibly well performed. When you first start watching you might think he’s a bit of a bumbling fool; but it doesn’t take long for Lennart to impress you with his skill, and once he gets you smiling you won’t stop until the end of the show. I’m going to look for more of his stuff, as I think he’s brilliant.

When magic tricks go wrong they can hurt…

This has got to sting! He handles it rather well, I think it’s almost worse watching him getting ready and working out what’s going to happen.

3d cube illusion

This is quite clever, although the presenter is a little bit too smarmy for my liking. I think the main credit has to go to whoever rebuilds the cube off-camera. Watch and see what you think:

Cool magic trick – cutting assistant in half

This is cool, and I’d like to know how it’s done. It’s pretty stock up until the part where the upper half of the body raises itself up and the magician passes his hands underneath.

Laser magician – how does he do that?!

Now this is clever, and I’m not even sure if I can work out how he does half of this act.

The Magic Gopher – an oldie but still good

Here’s an old magi trick transferred into cyberspace by the British Council’s Learn English department. Strangely, it works better on the net than it could ever work in real life. Play it to see what I mean.

10 cool magic tricks with instructions

These tricks are quite cool, and simple to do once you know how. And the videos all explain exactly how each trick is done. Well worth a watch, and maybe a little practice as well. The site itself could do with laying out the videos so that they are not clipped however. Still worth a visit though. Testing multiple posts.

This site takes away the fun and mystery of a lot of magic tricks – so if you like magic, and don’t want to spoil the whole magic experience, just don’t click this link. There, see how easy that was. Now you’ll never know.

A fishy magic trick

Al — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 02:04:49 +0000

I can’t find this on YouTube, and so I can’t embed the video. However you can just click on this link to Japanese magician Cyril performing an amazing illusion with a deck of cards and a fish tank. I can think of a few ways how he could get the card to stick to the glass, less way how he could get that card to be stuck to the inside of the glass, and then even less ways of how he can stick his hand through the glass to get the card and then seal it back up again. If you know, let me know.

Penn & Teller – how it’s done Vegas style

This is an awesome video. If you’ve ever wondered how they split a person into 3 parts, all of which move, and then recombine them back again – just watch this.
