look everyone knows...

That the secret to levatation tricks is that they blast condensed air up from the floor to levitate the chick.

Handcuff escapes are done by hiding grease on your person and then lubing up your wrists and sliding out of the cuffs.

Saw a lady in half uses 2 midgets.

The metamorphisis? The performers are twins!

Actually, the magician simply ingests a huge quantity of liquid helium before he levitates. shhhhhhh. Keep it a secret.

I know a guy who sells some dust that will make you think you can do those things.

The Chinese Linking Rings used to be such a great trick... until they made "Terminator 2" and gave away the secret about the liquid metal that makes them work.
