See How Magic Tricks are Done for Free
How to do the Great Magic Coin trick
The public library and the Internet are two places that you can go to find magic tricks revealed free of charge. This article will look at both in turn.
Books Revealing Magic Tricks Free at Your Library
If you want to borrow a book revealing magic tricks free of charge, go to your local library and type the keywords “magic tricks” into the library’s online catalog. You can access most public library catalog systems from your home.
The bestselling book on magic and illusion on Amazon.com is Derren Brown’s Tricks of the Mind. Brown is a popular television illusionist and his book guides the reader into some of the techniques behind what he does on TV. What you won’t find revealed are step by step details of how his tricks are done. He would risk his reputation and “devalue the currency”, so to speak, if he did so.
A more traditional book on magic is Mark Wilson’s Complete Course in Magic. Inside this 512 page book you will find the details of coin tricks, card tricks, handkerchief tricks, and all other types of conjuring tricks. It gets a five star rating on Amazon and is probably the only book on magic you will ever need.
Magic Tricks Revealed Free Online
There is no shortage of websites that have free magic tricks revealed. There seems to be a definite fascination with revealing magician David Blaine’s secrets. It is not easy to see why Blaine is such a popular and controversial figure, and his name on a website is obviously designed to gain more traffic.
The website goodtricks.com has an entire section devoted to what it calls “David Blaine style street magic”. Criss Angel, the Greek-American TV magician, also has a page that displays videos from YouTube where Criss explains some of his really popular tricks.
Street magic is a kind of magic that is performed for an unsuspecting audience in a public place, using a “hit and run” method on unsuspecting audiences, which is the reason for the nickname “guerilla magic”. Blaine first popularized it, which is why his name appears on so many websites.
One 18-page PDF document called David Blaine’s Magic Revealed shows the secret to many of Blaine’s most popular illusions. Among other tricks, it reveals how to appear to twist your arm 360 degrees, resurrect a fly from the dead, the illusion of levitation, and push a cigarette through a quarter. It contains a large amount of material for such a short book. If you want to impress your friends, then take the time to study this book.
