Questions And Answers On Info About Magic Online

Daniel asks…

Is there a site online where you can enter a guys info and see if he likes you or not, or what the signs are?

I know it sounds like frigin magic. But I’m just curious? I’ve seen sights that have the “How To Tell If A Man Likes You” and it’ll give 5 simple clues or something, but I don’t know if EVERY SINGLE GUY does those five things or ten things or whatever the number is. And I think they are mostly for older people. I’m asking about a 16 year old guy, I’m 16 too. So is there anything like this?

admin answers:

Those sites shouldnt be taken seriously there fun to do but if a guy hands you something uve dropped on the floor that doesnt mean he wants to marry you, a website like that could convince you that he really likes you when he deosnt, or he doesnt like you when he does. All you need to do is talk to him suggest to hang out or like plan big group activities with loads of friends and talk if you both get on you will just kinda feel it… If you have the guts you could suggest going out on a date, or getting some of your friends to ask his friends how he feels then your sure. But in my opinion i would try do it yourself can get kinda complicated if you involve the friends… Just be straight with him dont pretend to be something your not, act confidently and talk to him see if you get on you might get to know him and find hes not all that or you might get to know him and love his personlaity and him yours

Questions And Answers On Magic Tricks With Coins

Steve asks…

How do I start to perform magic?

One thing I’ve always wanted to do is magic tricks. But not huge, grand, shows. I’m talking like little coin tricks or pulling a pen out of your ear.

I learned one coin trick on my own, but the rest I’m either confused or my fingers aren’t fast enough.
How should I train myself to do coin tricks? What tricks should I start out with? Etc.?
Also, how do you do that thing where you flip a coin through your knuckles really fast? Is that just practice over time?

admin answers:

Maybe start off with the matrix or some cups and balls.

The coin tricks are all over the internet..check the links I provided. Also check on youtube, there are lots of simple magic tricks there and also explanations ..

My boyfriend is a professional magician and you are welcome to drop by our blog and ask him questions. I am sure he will be willing to help.

Have fun!

Alana asks…

Help with magic tricks?

I am wanting to be able to do some magic like David Blaine and Chris Angel. Like card tricks and coin tricks like David Blaine. I saw this one video of Chris Angel where he took a rolled up piece of paper and lit it on fire and flicked it and it turned into a cigerrette, also where he did a larger piece and blew the fire out and it was a rose. If you know how to do any thing like this or know of any web sites where I could find some good info or possibly tutorials please let me know.

-Thanks,

admin answers:

This is coming from a true magician. You will lose a ton of respect for using any of those sites they listed. By learning these tricks for free you are disrespecting the creator of the tricks. I highly encourage you not to fall into this group. Magic is an art and it should be treated like one. Here are a few great shops that provide amazing tricks that will get amazing reactions:

Graham asks…

What types of magic tricks would you reccommend for a Garden/ Lawn Party?

I do magic often and sometimes for events. I was recently asked if I would be able to entertain at a lawn/ garden party. I was wondering what kind of magic I should do for this event. Difficulty is not an issue, but the demonstrations can’t be too geared for stage performances, becasue this has to be fairly casual and impromptu. But, however, they can’t be too simple, like easy coin and card magic. They have to impress people, not prove I can go to Chapters and perform tricks from a $5.99 book. Any suggestions or ideas?

Saw a lady in half, or the head chopper trick

Questions And Answers On Magic Tricks With Coins

John asks…

how does the magic trick, “coin squeeze”, work?

my PE teacher is really into magic tricks, and he did one today that really threw me, he put some quarters in an open container the side with the quarters, face down on the table, then the other half of the container under the table. he swirled his hand around (i know that part is pointless) the container on top, then knocked on the half on the desk…the coins where then under the table in the other half. he wasn’t wearing a jacket, i paid VERY close attention their is NO WAY he slipped them out.
it is the very first time a “magic trick” has baffled me so i would really appreciate it if some one can explain how that “trick” works. you can e-mail me if you dont want everyone to read it and know the secret.
squeaker12268@yahoo.com
please help me with this one, i am beyond words to describe how confused i am.
thank you to everyone who helps!

admin answers:

The container halves have flaps to capture and release the coins and the coins in the bottom cup are not necessarily those in the top. Depending on how good he is at handling them, they don’t even have to have that but it is easier (less manipulation) I’ll bet the cups make noise when they are clapped into place. You might ask him whether you can mark the top coins, say with magic marker.
A good manipulator can pull the coins from the top container and “palm” them, perhaps assisted by a hollow bottom that allows shaking to “prove” the coins are still in the cup. The palmed coins are deposited in the lower cup.
If you don’t know it already, a good manipulator can work directly in front of you with cards, coins, or cigarettes and move them from palm side to back side and you will never see them. Hand magic.

Steve asks…

Questions And Answers On Illusion Magic Tricks

Caroline asks…

Any cool magic tricks / illusions for me to do @ home?

card tricks, disapearing objects, etc.

admin answers:

Disappearing object- my favourite
sit near a table. Take your audience opposite you.
Put a coin on the table, take a medium sized glass and paper tissues.
Wrap the glass with the paper tissues. Make sure the tissues take the glass’ shape.
Say: “Now I’m going to make the coin disappear!”
Put the glass covered with the tissues and put it on the table with the open side down (the coin should be hidden with the glass now)
Do the abra kadabra thing.
Lift the glass with the tissues quickly. Loosen your grip on the glass so it falls to your lap (do this when the glass is under the table)
The coin is there. Make sure your audience notices this.
Put the napkin(which is in the shape of the glass) on the table, say “Damn!” and slam your fist on the napkin. The napkin will crumble.
“it seems like I didn’t focus the magic right!”

Helena asks…

Ball of Light Magic Trick Illusion?

My friend was telling me about this cool magic trick he bought at a “KB Toys” store a while ago. He said that you put these little things on your thumbs, and by using them you can create the illusion of playing with a little ball of light. He told me that he also found it online, but I can’t seem to find it. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, and knows where to find it, plz tell me.
EDIT: My sister just told me that she heard my friend say that you have to press a little button on the thing that you put on your thumb in order for the light to show up.

admin answers:

GO TO HANK LEES MAGIC FACTORY AND LOOK UP AN EFFECT CALLED “D’LIGHT”.

Questions And Answers On Magic Shows On Tv

“no actors or stooges were used in the making of this show”

but i suspect that they are doing so. is that illegal?

admin answers:

Yes

Lynn asks…

Interactive Magic trick (on TV)?

I can’t remember it great, but like 8 years ago I remember watching a popular magic show on tv. During the show he would do a trick for the viewers at home. You picked 1 out of like 16 cards on screen and he would tell you what card it was. There was a little inbetween it, but I can’t find it anywhere.

Could somebody link me to a video so I can do it again. Possibly my favorite magic trick. Thanks.

admin answers:

That’s an interesting thought, but it strikes me as odd that some of these trends are fairly pointless in a statistical sense

Susan asks…

Best magic tricks.. free and true looking?

how does chris angel do his magic? whats a good illussion to do or a good website for free learning

admin answers:

I think it’s mostly slight of hand and cheating. If you notice, most of the time he has multiple cameras and they usually switch around meaning that they could have paused the shot and did something. A good place to see a lot of magic tricks for free is actually Youtube.com. Lots of people post tricks and how to do them.

Questions And Answers On Think Of A Drink Trick

Davina asks…

Does anyone have any trick to falling asleep quicker?

I have ADHD so my mind is always wired thinking about lots of stuff at night. I know drinking milk is a trick but I can’t drink anything before I go to bed cause then I’ll have to go to the bathroom, lol. Music does help but then it contrasts with my alarm when I need to get up for school. I’ve also tried spraying a lavender scent on my pillow which sometimes helps but it still takes me awhile to fall asleep. Any suggestions at all will be a big help.

admin answers:

Exercise, preferably 6 hours before, but not within 2 hours of bedtime. Have a warm bath, or shower, an hour before bedtime, then a glass of very warm milk, possibly with Horlicks, or one of the herbal teas, below, and use dimmer lighting. Your bedroom should be very dark, with the lights out, and a good sleeping temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or 19 degrees Centigrade. Put your mind in a position where it wants to shut itself off, and sleep. View http://www.umm.edu/sleep/relax_tech.htm The progressive muscle relaxation, http://www.drcoxconsulting.com/managing is very easily learned; guided imagery, or mindfulness breathing http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/mindbody… is known to be effective, or http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate Give the EFT a tryout. It is free via the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com “EFT” & “EFT therapists” or www.tapping.com (13 free videos). Repeat to yourself: “Even though I currently have a sleep disorder, I deeply and completely accept myself.” (or choose your own wording) while you use the acupressure massage/tapping. Find out which works best for you, in the daylight hours, so you will be prepared, come bedtime. For many people, a good idea is to develop a set “wind down” routine for the last hour before bedtime, so your subconscious mind learns that it is time to put thinking aside, and prepare for mindfulness, (awareness, without cogitation/purposeful thought) or the EFT, in preparation for sleep.

The idea with mindfulness is to not even think about sleeping: just drift off, naturally, during exercising those techniques. Avoid TV, computer, or anything exciting in this hour, although reading a BORING! Book is a good idea. Experiment, to find which combination works best for you. No coffee, tea, or other caffeine within 6 hrs of bedtime! Try a cup of chamomile herbal tea, an hour before bedtime. Others may prefer Sleepytime, by Celestial Seasonings, Relax, Be Sleepy, or valerian root (valerian “hangovers” possible), etc., from supermarket tea, or health food aisles. Milk, or cream should not be used with herbal tea. Get up and do something, like read a book, if you can’t sleep within 20 mns. Personally, I prefer to use word/phrase repetition for a short time, changing over to mindfulness breathing; however, you may well find another method more effective. The following EMDR variant came from a book on treating insomnia for the depressed; I use it every night, and it is well worth trying. It seems to reduce distractions during the mindfulness relaxation methods, so I use it first. Keeping your head still, move your eyes first to the far left, then far right, and repeat this another 19 times. Each full sweep should take around a second. If you like, you can either subvocalise, or repeat: “one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand … Up to twenty.

After this, allow your body to go limp, and relax for a short time. Then repeat the whole exercise, limpness, and relaxation twice. This may well be all you need. Others may require another round of the above. Before beginning the EMDR variant, I take a whiff of lavender essential oil in both nostrils; some people prefer a drop, or two on their pillow. This provides a strong cue to the subconscious mind to prepare for sleep. Get bright light, soon after arising, to reset your circadian rhythm. Stabilise your sleep habits. You could try melatonin (pharmacies) for a few nights only; more can interfere with the brain’s natural production of it. Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which you are better able to communicate with your subconscious mind. 85% of people are suggestible, to some extent, so consider professional hypnotherapy, or more alternatives along such lines are at http://your-mental-health.8m.com/blank_25.html
