Dear brothers and sisters of myLot,
There was a time when I just hated magic. It seemed really complicated stuff and above all it was to me, a way of fooling people. May be I was too young to understand the intricacies of this art. Now, I suddenly found out that one of my maternal uncle is fond of magic. He is quite famous among children who consider him to be a very great magician. He has successfully integrated his magical skills with his teaching, and that is what makes him more interesting. The last time he came to visit us, he wanted to buy a few stuffs related to magic. He took me with him. This visit to the shop changed my entire concept about magic. Instead of hating it even more, I myself fell in love with it.
Now, I consider magic as a very elegant form of entertainment. It is based on deception and that is exactly what makes it a hobby the most intelligent and innovative people.
What is the element in our real life that surprises us the most? It is in fact the same deception. We are often deceived by our senses in understanding reality. It is this perception that draws us in conflicts. While there shouldn't actually be any conflict at all. What we observe with our senses is the reality to us, and that may not be the truth at all. Magic teaches us about this. This is why I consider magic as a very distinguished form of art.
Thanks in advance for your response
God bless you all

I love magic because it sometimes interesting and entertaining when you first time to see magic in different way, you'll gonna say "WoW"! Have you watched the movie "Next" by Nicholas Cage, it's cool and awesome, right?


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
Yes I have watched this movie. Nicholas Cage is one of my favorites. How much effective a trick would be totally depends on how skilled the magician is. Even his innovative mind may modify it at each demonstration for the sake of variety. Thanks so much for this response.
God bless you

When I was young, I was amazed by magic. But as I grew up and knew that magic is only an illusion and never been true, I lost my interest with it. I don't know why. But its just vanish the excitement and the amazing expression that it first impressed me.
But I still agree to let the children sometimes watch some tricks just for entertainment. But I just hope not the violent ones just like the ones that needs to put a fire or use a wire or knife ;)


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
Yes, magic is only an illusion, but it still amazes me to think that with all our pragmatic thinking we can't help being tricked by it. Whether I am impressed or not, I will be deceived. Now this can be a great lesson teaching about the vulnerability and limitation of human senses. Thanks so much for this wonderful response.
God bless you

i love magic even up to now that im old already, well, not that old but for me magic is for kids onlyhappy. i still remember when i was a child when we used to go to the carnival just to watch magic and other stuff and im always excited to watch it and trying to figure out how they do it though now that im old enough, i already know that its only a trick. i saw a lot of magic over the television specially david the magician, he was so great with his magic and you will really believe it as you cant even see any trick to it. anyway, they just mastered it perhaps for so many years of using it. and yes your right, its a great art to consider.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
This is due to the innovative ideas that those magicians use to adapt to different environments and audiences. There are magic tricks that are to be played on stage and there are tricks for parties or small gatherings. Do you know what differentiates between these two? Its the environment favorable for deception. The tricks that are effective on stage may not be equally effective in gatherings. Thanks so much for your response.
God bless you

I love magic! I am always amazed to magicians and how they do their stuff. I want to learn it too. I just don't know how. Do you believe in David Blaine or Chris Angel? Sometimes I do believe them. How do they do all of those magic especially the levitation thing. I guess some people are really born with special talents. Happy mylotting everyone!


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
You may start by downloading couple of magic lessons through torrent search. There are plenty of resources out there. The most comfortable and easy tricks are those played with cards. If you know a few tricks and are able to demonstrate them with great panache, you will be very popular among your friends and relatives. This sounds humble still this is a great beginning. But so many people ruined their lives in trying to become a magician. So its better if we just let it stay as a hobby. Thanks for your response.
God bless you

I also love magic but right now i'm more interested in mentalism. It's the use of psychology tricks to produce a somewhat magical performance. If you haven't heard about this then google 'derren brown'. His performances are amazing and outstanding.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Yes, I heard about this. This is based more on the common inclination of human mind. It takes a lot of study to acquire a fair understanding about human psychology, and these fellows seem to have already mastered it. They way they play those tricks makes them look as if they are psyche or something like that. But in fact they are relying on a science, a fundamental science of human nature. Thanks so much for your response.
God bless you

I hae not thought toot deply about it biswa. All that I know is that it calls for a lot of quick reflex and training on the part of the person who performs th emagic show.It is enetertaining and I have just regarded it as such.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (3735)   ranked 178 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

blushblushsorry for the typos.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hello dear,
Yes, quick reflex and ability to innovate new tricks on the stage are a few things that make a magician popular. Traditional magic tricks are repeated so many times, we need creativity on the part of magician. The tricks they show in television are just a few very good combination of traditional and modern magic. The sense of variety is what distinguishes a good magician from an ordinary one. Thanks so much for your response and please don't worry about the typos. hugs
God bless you

I love magic and a strong believer in some supernatural force binding us which we cannot perceive. It is common for the magic done in stage programs likewise some kind of black magic. Although I cannot explain it with any theories or any examples their presence is true. In this world we have not discovered more than an atom. But actually nature is made of something more than an atom which we are lacking to find out. It is present in part of our soul, in part of our thinking and also in magic. May be if we use our 95% of brain we can find what is nature and also what is in within magic. Have a good day.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Uhm, well, if you consider the magic tricks that they perform on stage, I would like to say that they are very well trained, and those who have adapted magic as a hobby will often find the mechanism behind it. Still, if the springs and pulleys within an art are laid bare, nobody will not appreciate it anymore. There is a very well disciplined science in beauty, but if we let our focus be shifted to those underlying rules, we will be absolutely disillusioned. If we find the anatomy of magic, will anyone of us will admire its bodily beauty? Thus its better to let these things be buried for the sake of the magic itself. Thanks so much for this insightful response.
God bless you


myLot reputation of 97/100. vijiboopathy (6240)  2 years ago

Actually biswa I like stage magic shows. But I believe more in the spiritual actions which most people has no belief.

I can take it or leave it. I have seen some magic tricks that really amazed me but don't see much of it on tv. I think we should have an appreciation of good things people do. Happy weekend to u.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
There are so many demonstrations of magic tricks, so many videos and books to learn magic. Still the beauty of it actually lies on the creativity and innovative power of the magician himself. People get bored of seeing same tricks again and again. We are watching them on television from our childhood days. So a good magician must not repeat the same trick twice in the same fashion. Illusion can indeed be an art too. Thanks so much for your response.
God bless you

I find magic tricks very entertaining when I watch them on T.V. I am amazed on how they do their tricks without getting caught by the audience especially those magicians that are already expert. Well for some magicians that are just starting their career in being a magician or those amateurs they sometimes fail to make entertaining magic tricks maybe because they lack practice and they are still learning to do the tricks.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
I would like to add a few more things to what you've already mentioned here. Magicians who lack creativity and those who fail to modify their tricks according to their target audience, often fades away from the scene. Magic like any other form of art needs constant practice. I heard that good magicians spend hours in front of mirrors practicing their tricks to make it more and more perfect. Thanks so much for this wonderful response.
God bless you
