I promised my friend (shown in the video below) to acknowledge his magical skills and so I am publishing one of his “shows” found at Metacafe. There’s more of him there if you get hooked! Somehow I cannot stop wondering at the strangeness of this situation…Oh well.
off topic…the title of your post is a great great great name for a potential book.<br /><br />something compelled me to say that thought out loud<br />
That is one of the worst tricks I have ever seen, even worse than those tricks we did in fifth grade for the english class, it was so clear that he had another paper in there.
That was a pretty cool trick. I did not see the other paper.
One problem: a notorious professional magician, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masked_magician">Val Valentino</a> already has dibs on the name "Masked Magician."
Not too bad, but as a bit of an amateur magician myself, I know how he performed it. He had two pieces of paper. He palmed the unripped one in his hand. Pretty obvious.
<p>Tommy, one TV channel airs a show starring this Masked Magician these days and I am compelled to watch because my family has a thing for magic (don’t ask). The title of the post is intended as a pun, that’s all. My friend reveals the secrets of all his tricks at Metacafe, much like the Masked Magician does in that show. I know I know my friend is not masked but he doesn’t reveal his face - close enough.</p>
<p>Maybe you guessed right about the trick, I didn’t read up about it but you can find Ziad Marzouka’s tricks revealed at Metacafe. He should pay me for this promotion, heh.</p>
I’m only kidding about him contending for the "Masked Magician" name, Tololy. I’m not being serious. ;-)
I thought it was a very smooth trick.<br /><br />It’s also something that blundering me can attempt. I think I will try it with my friends… after 6 months of practice or so.<br /><br />Very entertaining!<br />
