    The Masked Magician on Reddit

    Dunno why all the hate. The only thing he does is reveal 1 method to crappy stage illusions.

    Right or Left handed?

    I'm left handed and I hold the deck in my left hand. What's messed up about that is that I have to overhand shuffle into my right hand.

    Sweaty Palms Ruin My Cards!

    I order huge amounts of bikes from the US. It's like 1/3 or 1/4 of the price compared to somewhere closer.

    Where Magic Becomes Pure Beautiful Art

    Meaningless if it can't be labeled as art?

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    So sleight of hand isn't close to the same as trapdoors and video editing. Yeah if you know about a DL or false shuffle then tricks will be diminished. But you thought there must've been a contraption feeding him cards. No one can hide cards in their hands that good right? Most people can't even...

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    I was never a fan of stage illusions with all the boxes and stuff. But the guy producing candles and pigeons? Amazing.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    Suspecting sleight of hand isn't even close to suspecting a mirror or video editing though. You suspect sleight of hand? Then what? If you suspect a mirror or trap door in the rig of a stage illusion then the illusion is kinda ruined. When you see a magician on stage pulling cards out of thin...

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    Yeah but they know it's "smoke and mirrors" like they know it's "sleight of hand".

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    So any stage illusion is just a waste then? Since it only "possibly impresses"?

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    Honestly I don't think the magician in the web series was all that serious about that episode. Or at least I hope he wasn't.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    Difference is that if they know it's camera editing then there isn't any way around it. If they know it's sleight of hand then that is all they know. Yeah it's sleight of hand, but it looks so impossible that it might as well be magic.

    Camera tricks are okay to use in magic

    If the spectator knows it's editing that makes it possible then it isn't really magic is it? A Norwegian magician that has a web series on a news site did a trick where he switched the panties of 2 girls. Basically it was 2 celebrity girls and they were obviously in on it and everything...

    The move is insanely annoying to do and will take time to make clean.

    Where Magic Becomes Pure Beautiful Art

    Why are people so obsessed with the art thing? Does it become more legitimate to play with cups and balls if it's considered art? I mean you are already producing doves and candles out of thin air with pure skill. It's as legit as it can be.

    Frustrated with magic!!

    When I first started I also got something that was way out of my league. People told me to get Royal Road To Card Magic when I asked for advice on this forum. Well I wasn't gonna read a book because it's so cumbersome when it isn't your first language. I understand english flawlessly everywhere...

    Weak minded people. What to do?

    I'm gonna say that "weak minded" was bad choice of words. At the time I didn't remember the word confidence and didn't bother to look it up in a norwegian/english dictionary. To make it clear: A person has low confidence. I show this person a sandwich trick. The person has to remember the card...
