Magic Tricks

I read on the Magic Cafe some comments about Mickael's magic being brilliant, but mainly a dealer demo lecture for his products.

It's true, that the magic he displayed were of marketed effects. But he exposed how they work. They were not tricks that required metallurgy experience and $2000 lathes. Just some dental dam and glue and you have a miracle.

Will it require some research on how to make them? Yes and that's not a bad thing. Magicians seem to always want things handed to them on a silver platter and not do any work for it. "Easy to Do...Self working...instant reset" are words they look for. Those were the tricks Dai Vernon said he ignored because anyone could do those.

You can get the booklet "Lickity Split The Art of Card Splitting Card" and learn to make them

Or pick out the tricks from the lecture that you saw everyone cheering over and buy those:

While 99% of those that watched the lecture are complaining, you can be performing magic that looks like trick photography. Make this an opportunity to separate yourself from the pack.
