One of the toughest things for new magicians is believing that people will believe you. The art of
misdirection is often assumed knowledge and I think that a lot of magicians believe that everyone
understands how to work with the off-beats. Oz, like always, walks us through the fine art of
over-coming the fear of the "heat" and confidently performing this clever routine.
I love
the routine and it's got a nice, if not predictable, punchline. What I think I love more is that
performing this trick for live audiences made me a better magician. It gave me the confidence to
believe that I could craft simple misdirection for the cover I needed.
Overall the skill
level required for this trick is primarily a showmanship issue. Definitely good for those that have
performed a few tricks and are looking for something new.
