Magic Trick Explained…

Posted by Dave Mark on Mar 25, 2010 in magic

DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO if you want to maintain the mystery of the trick shown in the previous post. The video below does not specifically address the previous trick, but it does demystify a quite similar trick. Pretty cool, but definitely disappointing to those of us who want to believe in magic. :)

Amazing Magic Trick…

Posted by Dave Mark on Mar 23, 2010 in magic

This one is just unbelievable. I usually assign the label “sleight of hand” to table magic tricks, but this one is just so perfectly done I really have zero clue as to the secret behind the trick. Watch the entire video, be sure to zoom in to full screen and highest resolution your screen can handle. Well worth it…

Card Flourishing, One of the Best…

Posted by Dave Mark on Nov 24, 2009 in art, magic

Dimitri Arleri is one of the best in the world at the subtle art of the card flourish. He has complete mastery over a deck of cards, moving them in gorgeous, intricate patterns, juggling, weaving, all in incredibly slow motion. To me, this is better than magic, since there is no pretense. It’s all real, it’s all skill. Enjoy…

UPDATE: Always a thrill for me to get a comment from the subject of a blog post. Seems I neglected to post the link to Dimitri’s page:

Do check it out…

Excellent Magic Trick…

Posted by Dave Mark on Jul 24, 2009 in magic

From Woz. I am a sucker for a good magic trick. I know it’s all done with mirrors and secret compartments, but I still enjoy the presentation. This one is from a Dutch TV show and it really worked for me…
