Magic Tricks

I like these grab-bag lessons. They include some weird ideas that aren't commonly used.

Some of the best bits:

The knife through coat uses a principle that I was unaware of. I think you could use it at the start of the previous routine (from lesson 42), just using the tip of a knife.

Hindu Yarn, a.k.a. gypsy thread, is a classic. This is the third or fourth time I've heard Dan Harlan teach his version, which is a great one for the stage.

There are two tricks involving drinks, which Dan Harlan seems to have a fondness for. I thought the routine with the cola was great. It ends with an amazing moment.

This lesson also includes a little about topits and flaps, but it isn't the best place to learn about their intricacies.
