This Magician Had To Have Help From The Other Side To Do What He Did
A few nights ago a couple of friends called me up. Last minute thing. They’d gotten a couple of tickets to this show at a club. We didn’t even know what kind of show it was going to be. Since we had nothing to do, we went, not really expecting anything. What we saw completely blew us away. And then some. This guy we saw was the most skilled magician I’ve ever seen.
The first kind of trick was the basic, magician trick they most of them learn in magician school, or wherever they learn tricks. It was the basic sleight of hand trick, where they make stuff appear out of nowhere, and late make it reappear. They way he did it was pretty cool. He would space out the times when he made stuff appear, and disappear so that the crowd would forget what had gone away. Kind of like a skilled comedian will leave a crowd hanging for a while, and then deliver the punch line just at the right time.
After that, he did this crazy mental trick. He asked a few audience members to name a world city, then he asked different members to name famous people from history. He made sure that he picked people at random, with the crowd actually doing the picking. Then when he finished, he pulled out this crumpled up paper and had somebody in the crowd read it. It was a short essay involving all the world cities, and all the historical figures the crowd had named.
After that he started doing these wild psychic tricks. He pretended that he was a professional psychic, but he actually guessed people’s names and birthdays and all kinds of other secret stuff perfectly. People were really amazed at his abilities.
Up to now I could sort of figure out how he was doing it. But after the next trick, I give up. He picked a couple people at random, and hypnotized them. They they started guessing random information about people in the crowd. And they were dead on accurate. Drivers license numbers, numbers in peoples addresses, it was downright spooky.
I’d forgotten how incredibly entertaining magic can be. If you’ve never seen a magic show, or it’s been a while, you should check it out. Or better yet, learn some tricks yourself, so you can entertain others.
