Smart magicians require smart devices, so meet Simon Pierro, best known as the iPad
magician, the man who masterfully couples technology with magic.
His tricks are creative and eye catching.
And today we are going to reveal the secrets behind his five sophisticated magic tricks.
Trick 2: The sun coming out of iPad screen This trick is a joy to watch, the magician
first brings an iPad, on its screen he displays a beautiful view with an illuminative sun.
He reaches out and touches that sun by his fingers.
unexpectedly, the sun moves out from the screen to the magician's hand.
So, how did he perform such a captivating trick?
The secret is that the magician wears a gimmick finger in his hand with a tiny LED light inside,
that works by pressing technique.
The magician has been hiding this finger inside his jacket all the time.
Here, you can notice him taking the fake finger from his jacket, and puts it on his thumb
finger.
In the right moment, he strikes the light, so it illuminates..
concurrently with the sun disappearing from the screen.
And what you see on the iPad screen is a pre-prepared video synchronizing with the magician's hand.
Trick 1: Snake coming out of iPad screen In this trick, the magician shows a picture
of a small snake on the iPad screen, he puts his hands on the screen, and suddenly the
snake comes out of the screen into his hands, and it is moving.
Then he returns it back into the screen.
So, how did that happen?
The secret is that the magician uses a toy snake attached to his finger, like the one
you see now.
And when he puts his hands above the snake picture, he uses the ring finger of his lower
hand to manifest and move the snake's head.
So it appears like a real snake comes out of the iPad screen.
Then he uses an elastic crystal thread to hide the toy snake in his jacket.
Trick 3: The Flaming iPad In this trick, the magician firstly flaps
the iPad case and reopen it, but suddenly a large amount of flames burst from the iPad,
then he flaps it and reopen it again and there is nothing damaged.
So, what is the secret here?
Actually, this trick is widely used by street magicians but they use a wallet not an iPad
case.
However the same technique applies.
This wallet, like the iPad case, includes a secret flap inside, that has two little
panels.
On one side there is a magnet and on the other side there is a flint mechanism.
Each panel has a pad, on which the lighter fluid is applied, and when the magician wants
to ignite the flame, he strikes down with his index finger, so the two pads catch the
fire.
Then the magician instantly close the wallet to extinguish the flame, and when he reopens
it, there is nothing to see but a good looking wallet, or a good looking iPad in this case.,
that because all this fire thing never touches the iPad body in
the first place.
Trick 5: Drink pours out of iPad screen This trick is one of Simon's best, where he
takes a water tap and sticks it on the iPad screen.
When he opens the tap, a drink or milk pours out from the iPad until it fills the waiting
cup.
And to assure everybody that the drink indeed comes out from the iPad screen and not attaches
to any other source, he shows the camera his other hand that holds the device from the
back.
So the question is, from where did the drink come from?
The secret of this trick is that the magician is hiding a small bag of the required drink
under his jacket attached to a long tube that reaches the sleeve edge.
In the right moment, the magician drags the tube with his hand and attaches it to the
tap.
So the drink starts pouring out into the cup.
Here you can see him taking the tube out of his sleeve to his hand and then attaches it
to the tap.
Also in this scene you can notice part of the tube appearing in his sleeve.
Some will say, but in this video, he performed the trick with his bare hands and without
wearing a jacket, so how come didn't the tube appear in his hand?
The answer is that he indeed uses a tube in this video either.
Take a closer look here, a small part of the tube is apparent at the magician's back.
when he sticks the tap on the screen, he lowers his hand and takes the tube, and then uses
his arm to cover it.
And the magician must have practiced on this trick in a way that makes it hard to discover.
Trick 4: Milk vanishes into iPad screen The secret of this trick is in the cup the
magician uses.
This cup is called magic cup, comes in different shapes and sizes.
It is smartly designed to perform such tricks professionally.
It is actually two cups put together as one cup.
When the magician pours some milk in the outer cup, he places an empty inner cup over it,
so milk stretches out and reaches the top of the outer cup making it appear like it
is full of milk.
Then the magician releases the pressure on the spiral spring of the inner cup, and so
milk moves from top to bottom as if it is consumed by someone.
And that how the magician did this trick.
