Ever wonder how magic tricks are done? Well, wonder no more!

Visit The Masked Magi's Page O' Magic Secrets (http://members.aol.com/maskedmagi/)

I was astounded in particular by the page on The Secret of Dove Trcks (http://members.aol.com/maskedmagi/indexorg1.htm#DOVES)!!!

Man, that has to be one of the most hideously designed pages in the history of mankind...

Thats one funny site. I didn't find one explanation to be anywhere near the truth.

I wonder how many people swallow the "invisible ink" method of marking cards?

[PygmyPlaidGiraffe]

Very funny,

I particularly enjoyed the exposure of Penn and Teller's gun trick.

If you can put up with the slowness of your browser as it strains to keep up with enough animated gifs to send even a mild epileptic into fits, combined with the blaring of the cheesiest MIDI music on the planet...

2. Volume knob.

Have DSL. Over 3Mbps download speed. It's still slow as Christmas, and just as flashy.

2. Volume knob.

Yeah, real solution when you're trying to listen to an online interview in the background...

I am using DSL (no idea how many Mbps), and the one page (which is basically the entire site) takes all of ten seconds to load. After that, everything is more or less instantaneous, because it is branching to other parts of the same page.

Yeah, real solution when you're trying to listen to an online interview in the background...Yeah, this would probably slow it down considerably.

The Frames version of the site is faster. Still annoyingly designed, but faster.

And still funny!

The "Secret of Mentalism" is really, really true. As is the "Chinese Cluster F**k".
At least you can read the site, unlike those that have tiny white printing on a black background. Where are those people from?

[Cain]

That site is poorly designed and terribly slow.

Lock thread.

"the blaring of the cheesiest MIDI music on the planet..."

Yeah, the music was familiar, but I couldn't place it at first. Then it hit me. It's an ABBA song called "Money, Money, Money."

Hmm, strangely appropriate.
