Hi folks! I was just watching a magic trick being performed on TV and I was like wow. How's that possible? How can he do it? The magician asked a person in the crowd to produce a coin and he just concentrated on it and made it bend. What's more he gave it to the person as a memento. It was wonderful. How could you bend such a thick coin in no time, with your bare hands?

I think there is a scientific explanation for everything. Yeh I think someone could perform a spell but I wouldn’t call it a spell cause I would say its probably not magic just the reactions of particles or something similar which then makes it none magic. For me magic means when there is no explanation to explain it, I think everything can be explained. i think you would also have to be VERY special if you could just turn someone into a pig with a flick of a twig! I think magic exists, just not literally.

Yeah that and levitation. I always think how is it possible to cause illusion to such a large crowd of people at the same time. I have also heard of magician disappear an entire train in front of a large crowd. It really amazes me!

No. Magic is not real. It's just an illusion of eye. If you have seen some shows, you will know that the magic and sometimes reveal their secrets. I was seeing this show, in which the magician was asked to tell how they do it and he explained clearly. the reason that many people do not see them is because all such things usually happen behind curtains, although I do not find a reason to support your example.

Yeah, even I have seen it. I think it was named 'Magic's Biggest Secrets Revealed'. It was quite a good show showing how we get so easily fooled.

Magic is not real. It's all pre-planned. I am sure that same person who came with a coin must be associated somewhere with the magician and will receive his tips afterwards. All is planned in magic. If magic would have really existed, human would have had stopped all calamities which befell on Earth. But concerning black-magic, this I have a little doubt about it's reality.

But, its truly commendable the way they do it without anyone noticing. Even if the magician knows the person, carrying off the stunt in front of everybody's glaring eyes truly needs experience and fast hand movements. I wonder how they do it.

Even I agree, it's an illusion but whenever I see a new trick and start to think how they must have accomplished it, there's a big question mark before me. I can't think of any logical explanation. That's what amazes me. Yeah, I have watched David Blaine, he's too great. And also 'Magic's Biggest Secrets Revealed' showed how some tricks were performed. Enjoyed it very much to see how we get fooled so easily.
