Is this a Magic Trick ?

Is this a Magic Trick ? They called it mind control.

I love this kind of stuff and although it's not the type of magic we're looking at at the moment i thought it was worth a look.

Easy Magic Trix - Sleight of hand

Easy Magic Trix talks about sleight of hand.

Today we're going to have a look at sleight of hand and what you might use it for. Sleight of hand can take a long time to master but once you have it, its a very effective tool to have.

So what is sleight of hand?

I've taken the following snippet from wikipedia because i think they have explained it better than I could in a short sentence.

"Sleight of hand, also known as 'prestidigitation' ("quick fingers") or léger de main (from the for french "lightness of hand"), is the set of techniques used by a magician (or card sharp) to manipulate objects such as cards and coins secretly. "

So to put it basically, you (the magician) are trying to perform an act without the audience seeing it or knowing about it, so you can then manipulate the trick to get the required out come. This will make the act appear to of been magic.

Lets take a look at this video to see sleight of hand being performed.



In the video you saw a man performing a trick where the chosen card taken from the pack appeared on the top of the deck. Somewhere within in the trick he used sleight of hand to pull the card to the top.

When you first try to perform a sleight of hand magic trick, it will be most likely that the you will not be able to pull of the effect. This is normal, mostly because you are using hand muscles that you have not used before and this takes training.

Practice makes perfect. This is the key to nailing any magic trick, especially sleight of hand. When trying a new trick, make sure you follow the instructions to the tee, then practice daily, but only for short periods. Do not over whelm yourself with information. More than likely you will first be able to do the trick then after you know what you are doing you practice it to perfect it and make it look smooth.

In the article "Making a Card Disappear" this is also sleight of hand. Have a look at the video and practice until you nail it.

If you want more material consider adding this dvd to your arsenal.
