You know that trick where you pull your thumb off? You don't really pull your thumb off. You bend both your thumbs and hold them together, then use your index finger to make it look like your thumb is coming off. If you try to really pull your thumb off, it would really hurt. ;)
 
I keep the rabbit in my knickers. No magic trick; I just like it like that.
 
I won't give out the full secret but... Everytime I do the "Lady Cut In Half" trick, I need a new set of twins.
 
I just reach into my hat and pull out a rabbit. I don't know how it works and I do not habitually wear a top hat. Baseball cap, stocking cap, whatever. There is always a rabbit in there.

Don't ask me why. There is always a rabbit in my hat. :D
 
When I pull a coin out of your ear...the coin doesn't really come from your ear.

My nostrils are big enough to house a quarter, though by nose doesn't look that big. I used to do a magic trick where I would pull a quarter out of my nose. People would ask my how I did that, and I would say "Magic."

It was a lie. I really was pulling a quarter out of my nose. :)
 
I've worked out this trick where you put a lion and a lamb (a small baby works fine if there are no lambs at hand) in a cage together, and drape the cage with a cloth. A minute of patter, whip the sheet off the cage, and TADA - the lamb (or baby) is gone!


I haven't worked out exactly how this works yet, but I do find I have better success just before 4pm, the traditional feeding time of the lions. I think it concentrates their chi, or something.
 
I do this trick in which an object appears to levitate. But there is actually a secret gimmick that you can't see that holds it up!
 
Once each month, I can make my money disappear into thin air just by paying all my bills!
 
I do this trick where I make one of my legs disappear when I'm standing behind a drape or other magical curtain that I suspend in front of my waist.

First I show both legs there, then I lower the drape to my feet, then when I raise the drape, one of my legs is gone. Be careful not to raise the drape above knee height.

Oh and make sure there's nobody who can see behind the drape. Forgot that part.


Oh, and make sure you can balance good on one foot.


Oh, and the secret is, I bend my knee (on the leg that has disappeared, not the other one, because you'd fall).

When I want to bend a spoon like Uri, I trick everyone into looking away and then bend it really quickly when they are not looking.

I can use the spacebar now - I got a couple of plastic thumbs from a magic shop (always wondered what they were for)
 
In one of my favorite tricks, people pick a card at random, and are surprised that I was able to predict what card would be selected!

Don't tell anybody, but... the secret is that the process of random selection wasn't really random at all. Anyone who followed my directions would arrive at the same card... and I knew ahead of time what that card was!
 
I have this trick where I have a person draw a card and look at it. Then I say, "Was it the ace of spades?". To their amazement, I guessed correctly.

Actually, the entire deck is aces of spades. This trick is even more fun while playing poker.
 
Have you guys seen that Vanishing coin trick?

It looks like the coin has diappeared, but it's actually hidden in your other hand. Don't tell.

Or it might be inside a fake, hollowed out plastic hand that you use instead of your real hand (haven't perfected that one yet).


Oh Billy, try squeezing one of those plastic thumbs. If it lights up, it's one of the DeeLights, which his how magicians find their housekeys in the dark.

You left out the part on how you turn the deck into all aces. Don't bother posting in this thread if you can't be bothered to reveal the secret. :mad:
