Spurs presents amazing magic tricks
revealed number one the Statue of
Liberty disappears this is one of the
most amazing magic tricks revealed in
1983
David Copperfield attempted to make the
Statue of Liberty disappear
not only were people watching in person
there were also plenty of people
watching on television as well this was
to be the biggest trick of his career
and he pulled it off since nobody has
the power to make something disappear
especially as big as the Statue of
Liberty there had to be a trick to this
now the people watching they were on a
rotating platform but they didn't know
that while performing the trick he
slowly rotated the platform so that the
audience didn't even know it was
happening next he used light to
illuminate the entire statue he then
used only spotlights and they were set
up to blind the audience when the lights
turned off the audience was facing in
the other direction without realizing
that they had been moved the whole time
the statue was behind them
number two the floating man there are
many magicians who make it look as
though they are floating in air since
people can't really fly or float it's
obvious that these magicians are using
props to make it look as though they are
sitting on air in most cases a steel
structure is placed under the performers
baggy clothes to cover the steel
structure that's on the ground flowers
are often used the magician will wear
baggy clothing so that nobody can see
the metal that they are sitting on it's
a very simple trick to perform if you
have the right prop
number three walking on water magician
Criss Angel performed a trick that
shocked his audience part of the reason
is that the trick was performed in
complete daylight in front of a live
audience
the show's venue was actually in the
middle of a pool at a popular Las Vegas
hotel angel told his audience that he
could walk on water he moved slowly and
he managed to walk on water but the
audience didn't know is that the pool
was prepared ahead of time before the
show he installed clear pegs in the
water to walk on the pegs looked so good
that you couldn't even tell they were
under the water he moved carefully from
peg to peg to get from one side of the
pool to the other the audience was
ushered out of the area so that the pegs
could be removed from the pool before
anybody discovered they were there
number four the signed card trick if
you're a fan of America's Got Talent
you know that many competing magicians
use the signed card trick the magician
would have one or all the judges sign a
card next they would tear it into four
pieces in front of the audience when the
magician shows the audience the signed
card that is no longer ripped the
audience and the judges are amazed the
trick is actually very simple the
magician has a folded card in his pocket
he uses a sleight of hand to put the
signed card in his pocket and then tears
up the spare card next he will use a
sleight of hand again to put the torn
card in his pocket and show the audience
the signed card that never was torn
number five
swallowing a sword while many magic
tricks are simply illusions the
swallowing sword trick is not an
illusion the people who perform this
trick are actually swallowing a sword
which of course is incredibly dangerous
it takes years of practice for a sword
swallower to hone his craft the trick is
to line up your throat and stomach so
that they make a straight line and that
makes it possible for the sword to
safely go down the magician's throat if
it's not done precisely they could be
great
injured by the sword number six the
knife throwing trick this trick has an
assistant on a wheel that spins while
the wheel is spinning the magician
throws knives
each knife misses the assistants body by
mere inches the trick looks extremely
dangerous and scary well the assistant
is never really in any danger at all the
wheel the assistant is tied to is
specially made when the magician throws
the knives he's actually not throwing
them
he simply palms the knife at the same
time a knife will spring out from the
back of the target it makes it look as
though he has perfect aim and that the
assistant is in mortal danger the entire
time since the knives are strategically
placed behind the wheel the assistant is
never in any danger
number seven cutting a woman in half one
of the most popular tricks of all time
has been done for years a woman being
cut in half since a woman could actually
not be cut in half
I mean without dying there has to be
something else going on here
well the before of the trick the
magician uses two assistants however one
of the assistants is kept hidden when
the assistant is placed in the box
she will Bend herself in half but you
won't know this in the bottom half of
the box the other assistant is bending
herself in half but leaving her feet
hanging out for the audience to see when
the audience looks at the box it looks
as if there was just one woman lying
there when the magician cuts the box at
half
it looks like the woman is being sawed
in half in reality he is sawing in
between the two women
the assistant at the top yells and
screams to make the audience believe
that she's being sawed in half when in
reality we all know the assistant is
perfectly safe
in fact both of them are there are some
magicians who use smaller boxes because
the box is smaller there is no room for
a second person in this case a fake set
of feet is used there are often robotic
legs too so that it'll look like the
woman is still moving her legs subscribe
