Magic Tricks With Cards Revealed
Amazing Instrumental Magic Tricks Revealed by Magician Wong
Have you ever wondered how magicians produce objects from thin air at will on stage? Today we are going to reveal this secret. A classic example is the decanter trick. A handkerchief is magically produced inside a glass container. The methodology behind is a thread tied to the handkerchief pulled rapidly to bring the handkerchief into view with a high speed. The method can be applied in many different magic tricks.
One can utilize the same principle with an elastic cord to further adapt the trick to other situations. In the famous Card Sword trick, the magician let a spectator chose a card and then returned and lose in the deck. The magician then springs the cards into the sky and stabs a card in the air with a sword. Of course the stabbed card is the card chosen by spectator. The principle used in the thread pulling principle with an elastic chord. The card is hidden inside the sword handle and attached to stretched elastic. When the magician executive the device, the card springs up to the tip of the sword with high speed and looks like the card is stabbed in mid air.
We can see that the same principle is used to produce this card sword effect as the decanter trick, but very different effect and style of performance is created. An object is hidden in a secret place, and then pulled into the place for production with some force. The different is one uses thread and the other one uses elastic. The force applied to produce the card was stored up in the elastic. When it is released the potential energy transformed into kinetic energy and brought the card to the tip.
The point that makes this trick unique is that the force to bring up the object is applied before the trick begins instead of pulling while the production is required. You can also apply this principle to different props. Anything that has a long shape is usable. You may use a stick, a cane or a mop. This principle is also used on wearable props like production of a rose hidden under the armpit.
In a magic act, the magician usually goes into a series of magic tricks with different props. This production principle could be used to bring in props that are needed for the coming trick. For example, the magician makes a rope appear in his hand and then performs a cut and restored rope routine.
Think about other ways to apply the force required to bring the object into view. This will be very useful to adapt the trick to different applications. An assistant can be used to pull the thread at the right moment. Or a counterweight is released to pull the thread. Other mechanical device that produces suitable force can be considered. If the method of a stored power is used, elastic chords or springs can be used.
