Cool Magic Tricks

by

When I was young I always wondered how magician vanish something at their will. The only possibility I knew of is trap doors. But for most of the time, no matter how hard I stared, I could not see how the thing is drop into the supposed trap door. And then I learnt other magic vanish principles.

Theoretically, the reverse of the production of something like a glass, should prove effective as a vanish. But it won’t. This is because the production had the advantage of surprise, with the necessary moves taking place before the spectators knew the effect. But, using the reversed routine as a vanish cannot be made effective because all of the moves take place after the trick is done, with little possibility of shaking off the watchers’ scrutiny.

Therefore, we need a method to direct their attention to someplace else. Advanced misdirection should be able to direct audiences’ attention without knowing they were misdirected. One of the most effective methods is the use of a form. Take the vanishing glass as an example. The handkerchief used to cover the to-be-vanished glass is gimmicked with a ring form. The ring form is used to imitate the top edge of the glass. When the ring is held in a certain manner, it appears like a glass is under the handkerchief.

Now we try the moves: The handkerchief is thrown over the stem wineglass that is resting upon the palm of the right hand. It is thrown over in such a manner that the ring form coincides with the rim of the glass. Under cover of the foulard, the fingers of the right come up around the base of the glass, the stem being between the second and third fingers. Grasping the ring form through the folds of the cloth, the performer apparently lifts the goblet from the right hand.

The ring is placed on a frame to stand and appear to be the standing glass. Now the right hand opens the fingers and let the glass be hung upside down between the fingers.

With the left side of the body towards the audience, the performer picks up the “glass” and as he does so, the right, with the real glass, moves behind the drape, to the left, drops the goblet into a body servante, which has been installed between the coat and vest on the left side, moves on up over the left forearm, grasps the front corner of the foulard and shakes it out. The glass has apparently vanished. This makes it possible to do the necessary moves before the spectator realizes that the vanish has been accomplished.

The spectators believe that the important timing for any possible move to remove the glass has not yet come because they continue to see the form of the glass, believing the glass to be in place. Under cover of this misdirection, the disposal of the glass is done.
