The surprising world of illusionism attracts children and adults alike. Little ones usually love magic tricks, don’t they? But when we grow up and start trying to repeat a magic pass, it rarely works.

O awesome.club he was quite surprised to find that quick hands, thorough preparation, and a lot of practice are just about everything an illusionist needs. Satisfy your inner child’s curiosity and find out how some of the most interesting magic tricks are done!

The trick consists of 4 transparent cups. Each of them is twice as large as the previous one. The smallest one is filled with milk. The magician pours the milk into a glass that is twice the size of the previous one, and the liquid completely fills the glass. He puts the milk back in the third glass, and the drink seems to double in volume.

Secret: there is a solid plastic cylinder that sits in the middle of each cup. However, a narrow channel is left around the sides. So the milk doesn’t miraculously double, it fills an established space, which is… yes, only 226.8 grams, the capacity of the large cup.

The illusionist (or, in this case, his assistant), lies down and prepares to be run over by a truck. And the car actually runs over the body, but nobody gets hurt.

Secret: in performing this cantrip, the magician follows the laws of physics. The counterweights that had previously been placed inside the truck only change its balance. In this way, the wheels on the lighter side of the vehicle just touch the mage’s or his assistant’s upper body, causing no damage.

An ordinary light bulb, completely turned off, flickers in the illusionist’s hands. How is it possible? Well, it all comes down to imagination and creativity.

Secret: in fact, the light comes from a small device that is held in the magician’s hand. It is a simple flashing LED powered by a battery. It is possible to light it when it is convenient. Looking from the front, it looks like the lightbulb lights up by magic.

The magician looks like he’s been cut in half, and he’s holding his own legs.

Secret: it’s just an optical illusion. Looking closely, you can see that the illusionist is holding the legs of a plastic mannequin. He just needs to adopt the correct posture and wear loose clothing to hide all the secrets.

The magician starts by showing 3 hoops that look massive. A second later, somehow, 2 of them get stuck together and then separate. It can only be magic!

Secret: what happens is a game of hands, because there is a small space between the rings, which the magician hides with the palm of his hand. In reality, attaching and releasing the hoops is something very easy to do.

The illusionist opens the box and places a pigeon inside. The lid is closed. Magic words are repeated, the magician opens the box and hands the lid to the assistant. Where is the pigeon? It’s gone!

Secret: the mystery is in the lid. It has a secret compartment where the pigeon is hidden. The magician just needs to make sure the assistant holds the secret compartment well.

Nobody doubts that Michael Jackson was one of the best singers and dancers in the world, but his performance in the music video Smooth Criminal left fans with one question in their minds: how does he do this incredible forward tilt, defying the laws of gravity?

Secret: the person wears a special shoe, with a mechanism that allows it to be fixed to the ground. A slit at the bottom of the heel connected to a space in the floor allowed Michael to support his own body weight without any problems.

The magician asks a volunteer to pick a random card and show it to the audience. Let’s say it was the 6 of hearts. Then the volunteer puts the card back in the deck. The illusionist throws the cards into the hat, takes a simple rope and lets the end of the rope fall into the hat. Somehow it pulls the same card that had been chosen before. The 6 of hearts!

Secret: At first the deck just looks ordinary, but it has 52 repeating cards: the same 6 of hearts. Second, inside the top hat, one of the cards is attached to a small string with a magnet at the end. The rope that the magician puts in the hat also has a magnet. Thus, the two magnets unite and the letter is “fished”.

Some believe that meditation techniques allow people to levitate. But if you come across a levitating street magician, don’t believe it right off the bat.

Secret: to “levitate” in the air, the mage simply uses a metallic frame, cleverly concealed under loose clothing.
