I stumbled across this cool magic trick recently.
I love the impromptu nature of the effect, and I’ve never heard of it before.
Next time your friend is drinking redbull, you can perform some totally impromptu magic. Enjoy!
Magician Keith Barry has attracted criticism over his latest stunt, set to be aired on ITV.
The magician will hang up 6 nooses in front of a live studio audience, one of them a dud, then ask a spectator to select one.
The performer will then proceed to attempt to hang himself using the selected noose. Presumably magically revealing the selected noose to be the dud.
The stunt has outraged many, with one Charlie O’Connor stating:
“This so-called trick is disgraceful and disgusting. It is the most insensitive attention seeking stunt I have witnessed in a long time. For this horrific and tragic act to be shown on national television and considered as entertaining viewing is an outrage.”
Let’s just hope that this doesn’t end up as new material for ‘Magic tricks gone wrong’!
If you have even the slightest interest in mentalism magic, then you will have heard of this book.
Described by many as “The bible of mentalism magic”, 13 steps to mentalism is the be-all and end-all of mentalism.
It’s a weighty book, 424 pages in total, hardback, and is packed with information, tips, tricks and routines to keep you entertained for a while to come.
The book introduces a range of gimmicks and tools available to the magician, and goes on to cover topics such as mental and memory systems, peeking methods, cold reading, card tricks and even publicity stunts!
The sheer range of information packed into this book is astounding. It’s clear that a lot of work went into producing this. There is one thing you can be sure of when purchasing a book such as this; You will not be disappointed.
If you’re looking for knowledge on a specific area of mentalism, then this book will teach you it, and so much more. You can literally be taken from absolute beginner to a professional level (combined with the practice required of course.)
Do I recommend it? Well, when I compare it to whatever else you can buy for £16.99, I can’t really think of a better way to spend your money. Buy it!
