Elizabeth asks…

Do you think that the audience in street magic shows (like those of chris angel and david blain) is fake?

Please explain the reason why you think the way you do.

admin answers:

Some of the illusions are total fakes and the crowd is in on it… Take the “Levitation”… All you see is him from the WASTE down… The camera doesn’t show the overhead bar he is chinning himself on… They cut to shots of the crowd looking amazed.

Questions And Answers On Being A Magician In Australia

Don asks…

Which of the following three titles should I use?

The plot is briefly about a guy, Max Tyler, who discovers quite by accident and much to his disgust that his dad’s new girlfriend (his parents got a divorce a long time ago) is a vampire. Abhored, he runs away to his friends place, Wilfred Hanley, who’s a computer geak, walking encyclopedia, and an avid fantasy and mythology fan. He’s your overall know-it-all. When he musters up the courage to tell him, he is surprised to discover that Wilfred is not at all shocked and is well aware of the fact (this is all a work of fiction by the way) that vampires do exist. (also, they live in London, England)

Max also finds out from Wilfred that different races of vampires, amongst other “fantasy” creatures, have invaded England over the years. The most prominant of vampiric invasions have been the Vikings. Then there were also the werewolves who were the Picts and Scots. The Romans were Centaurs and Satyrs; and William the Conquerer and his gangs that followed were elves.

Upon asking who lived in England before all the invasions, he learns that it was the fae or faerie (plural), sprites, and pixies who lived there. Africa is populated by the half-dogs, half-men guys and the states is populated by something else (have to see what fits). Dragons have always lived in England and almost every other country in the world. Russia and those kind of countries were populated by fierce shapshifters, men who changed to bears in battle, whilst China, India, and Australia where populated by ogres, trolls, and land-krakens (top half are men and the bottom half are like octapuses).

When asking why so many races raided and invaded England, he finds out that they were searching for Excalibur: the Sword of Kings. Yes. Believe it or not, whoever holds the sword can easily ward off any races (especially vampires) and the man who holds the sword will reign for eternity until the sword is taken away from him or he is killed in battle. However, the sword mostly protects him unless he is shot by an arrow or some such thing.

He then finds out that the Sword of Kings was forged to beat back the first vampiric invasion when King Arthur was in power. The Centaurs and Satyrs had left (mostly) England because their own kingdom was under attack by the werebears and other vampires. Also, they missed the warm climate of their home. So it was that Merlin the Magician arose and forged Excalibur. They were unable to make the sword prior because the Romans were in power and controlled the weaponry. Also, all magic and worship (to other gods than those the Centaurs and Satyrs payed homage to) where banned throughout the Romanic Empire.

Unfortunately, Excalibur broke during the battle between the vampires because they used demonic powers from the Underworld. Eventually, King Arthur and the faerie kingdom won and the vampires retreated for a time. Sadly, the Summer King died with the sword because their lifelines were linked. When that happened, the vampires re-invaded England. They mainly raided the coast because they were wary that the faerie stil might have had a sword like Excalibur.

They did not. When Max asks what all this has to do with his present time and how he can get rid of his dad’s girlfriend before she turns on him, Wilfred tells him that he believes Excalibur was buried with King Arthur in the center of the Stonehenge in Salisbury Plain. Also, the vampires across the world have forged an alliance with themselves and all the other demonic races against the faerie, Centaurs, and the Satyrs who must now band together to defeat them.

The only way to push back the invasion is by finding Excalibur. Max also learns that King Arthur is his distant anscestor and he is the only living person of the Arthurian family tree. Therefore, they can easily reforge the sword but it will only work for him because it requires the blood (during the forging) of a member of King Arthur’s line.

So it is that Max, reluctantly, teams up with Wilfred and his friends other previously unknown budies–faerie, centaurs, and satyrs–to reclaim Excalibur and save England from yet another invasion. Little do they know that this war will become the dreaded World War III that so m any feared would end the entire world.

Well, that’s about it. Max might get together with one of Wilfred’s friends. I know this is kind of like Percy Jackson and the Olympions but I wanted to write somthing like this for a long long time. There aren’t any gods in my story to make it easy as all the fantasy stuff is a lot for just one book. I might make it into a trilogy but for now it is just going to be one book. The titles I had in mind are stated in the following…

1. Clash of the Vampires
2. Clash of the Rages
3. Clash of the Forces
4. Sieze the Sword
5. Excalibur: The Sword of Kings
6. Excalibur Quest
7. Exctracting Excalibur

Which one should I use? Also, please be honest with yourself and don’t steal all
By the way, elves are from North America & goblins are from South America.
By the way, elves live in North America and goblins in South America. The elves also team up with Max Tyler and Wilfred Handly’s gang to help them in their quest. Max will probably get together with an elf. They’re like “Red Indians.” In case you’re wondering, all the “fantasy races” are the powers behind the humans and what keeps them alive and stuff. They also are in charge of keeping the Underworld zombies at bay. That’s why they charge “income tax” (sacrifices) to their “gods” which are actually there for show to get people’s attention. (THIS IS ALL FICTION SO DON’T GET ANY IDEAS!!!)

admin answers:

I like #4 title. Seize the Sword.
Excalibur and Clash titles are more common in my view and I would definately have a second look at number 4 title.
In my mind it also suggests battles and quests from times of old.
Am a great fan of anything do do with King Arthur and Magical Swords.
Did you mean to misspell seize? If not.. Oops!

Kylee asks…

Yu-Gi-Oh cards?

Ok.. umm I’m 13 years old and don’t have much money to spend so what is the best way to obtain Dark Magician of Chaos?

My 3 options are:

1. Buy Gold until I get one.. (very unreliable.. what’s the ration i get DMoC. One every box? One every 3 packs?)

2. Buy it online as a single. (I live in Auckland, New Zealand. There’s none on Baydragon and Trademe. Please be reasonalble. I’m willing to spend max. 30)

3. My friend is going to Australia. (Stupidest and dumbest option yet) Get him to buy my some Invasion of Chaos packs. It probably won’t work so how good is that set?

Thanks!

admin answers:

It’ll take you about 4 gold to get DMoC so that is £45 in the UK (don’t know your prices but tey will be similar)

On ebay form US or UK it’s cost you converting with xe.com it’ll cost you £25 or $40 AUD

Don’t try to get in invasion of chaos the chance is to low and finding somewhere that still sells them will be hard.

The best thing to do is find a bargin on Ebay or trade.

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.

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”.

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

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.
