Title: Does anybody here like magicians?
Post by: Jesse on September 05, 2013, 04:25:12 PM
Well? I do. I like street magicians, to use the term correctly there really more Illusionists.

Have you ever visted a magician? I never have. but want to at some point

  I am not a particular fan of magicians, as I tend to lump them into the same category as mimes and clowns.  :autism:

They had a magician come to the campus of the school I went to. He did alot of tricks for the preschool program that was on campus. The kid's enjoyed it to the fullest. I was amazed with how he uses his doves in his act.

Theres a guy in France I think that uses Budgies in a circus act, and thats even more enjoyable.

I think this is the video right here:

Indeed. I also like to know how the magic trick is done, there was a guy wearing a mask who was exposing all of the secrets. I hear other magicians where out for blood,  :LOL:

I really did love watching that exposing all of magic's  secrets. some of it is really some hard work to make look believable. you wouldn't imagine the quickness of it all behind the scenes especially if they are using a large box or something

Love them.

When I was a kid I wanted a magic wand that would make people disappear, it was rather disappointing to find out it really didn't work the way I thought it did. :LOL:

Richard, you might be interested in watching Now You See Me.  I believe it's now on DVD.  About magicians, crime and...........  Well, it was a very entertaining movie that showed the tricks behind the magic tricks.  I'm usually pretty good at guessing plot twists, but not this one.
