Magic/Card Tricks

[Pike]

Sometimes I watch these on YouTube and they're just crazy and blow my mind. Do you know how to do any? It always drives me nuts when they don't tell us how they did it!

This is precisely the kind of thread that would get Gob in trouble.

90% of card tricks are sleight of hand, the other 10% are card forces.

[Jiro]

I know a card trick. Magic, not so much. There is a brazillian here at UW who is smurfing magnificent at tricks and also does trout I can't figure out. He was wasted beyond disbelief and I still couldn't spot the secret

[Bubba]

I know a few using card force but I'm far too clumsy to pull off sleight of hand.

I'm thinking of a card now... can anyone guess what it is?

I've made a huge mistake.

The only trick I know is called "Coal or Fire."

Before you start tell them these simple instructions:

Ask someone to say coal when a card is black.
When the card is red, ask them to say fire.

When you get to a red card scream the word fire as loud as you can while you spray the cards everywhere. This trick is kind of like 52 card pick up, but more needlessly complex and annoying.

We played something similar called smoke or fire. You had to guess the colour of the card. If you got it wrong, you drank. Somebody nicked my drink though.

im a pretty big magic nerd and im also into the gambling cheating stuff. there's always a deck of cards in my hands. I love the methodology and sleight of hand.

i never really perform it or anything altho I think i could be quite good in a professional capacity. the industry is terrible tho and magicians are horrible people, so i now avoid

I enjoy a good magic show. A couple of my favorite bits from recently.

Easily the funniest magic trick i've ever seen - penn and teller - YouTube

[Pike]

Those ones where they're trying to fool Penn and Teller always amaze me.

[NeoCracker]

I'm so hoping they do another season. I love that show so much.

I can break my thumb apart

Agreed. I love everything Penn and Teller.
