Answer by Beego
All magic is fake, a lot of his stuff is done with good editing and camera angles. I bet that some of those people are asked to respond certain ways also. I once watched a special where this guy showed how David Blaine did all his tricks. It is all just slide of hand and misdirection and in Criss Angel’s case, editing and camera angles also.

I still like magicians though…

Question by angelicwear: If a coin doesn’t have a front? If it has two sides and both are tails?
I have a dime that is the same on both sides, it is tails on both sides. Is it a trick magic coin, or is it worth alot of money?

Best answer:

Answer by Will C
It is a trick.

Did you get it from a store as change? If you did, those people are dumb! for not seeing it when someone gave it to you.

Check if it says legal tender though, if it does save it and it could be worth something later.

There is a double headed penny worth around 3million.

Question by The One: What are some excellent card tricks?
I would like to know some cool card tricks that can make people be like “Woah!”, “Wow”, or “How did you do that?!?” Is there a site with step by step explanations that can help me to learn? I would especially like to learn some psychic type card tricks or ones where I find the card they picked or ones where the card is hidden. I am using a deck called PegLeg Pete’s Deck of Royal Rogues Pirate Playing Cards.

Thanks

Cut the deck in half.
Take 5 cards and lay them out in an “X”
Tell the other person to pick one up and remember it, then put it back. (Remember which one is picked)
Then take one half of the deck and hold it.
Take one card from the five on the table and place it on the deck so that it is hanging halfway off the edge of the deck. (Hard to explain)
Then take a card from the other deck and place it on the deck in your hand so that is even with deck cards but not with the one you picked out of the five.
Repeat.
Then repeat again *MAKING SURE THAT THE THIRD CARD PICKED IS THE ONE THAT THE OTHER PERSON PICKED*
Then repeat until the five cards are gone.
Then take the deck not in your hand and place it on the deck in your hand, even with all but the five cards.
The deck should have 47 cards even with themselves, while the other 5 are sticking halfway out of the deck.
Pick up the deck so that your thumb is on the left side, your middle finger is on the right, and the knuckle is placed on the back of the deck, putting pressure, not too much, but just enough on the back. Make sure the face of the cards are facing the person.
Then, strike the deck down on the table so that the five cards push through and switch sides. Then flip deck over and do again.
Then flip deck over and do again.
This time you say “and your card is” and do the thing once more.
The card that is pushed out of the deck is the card the person picked.
This is not as confusing as it seems. Just do a little practice and it will look really cool.
If you need more help just e-mail me.

Hope this helps.
