Rating: 4.6; Vote: 3
Jim Steinmeyer designs magic tricks that other magicians use. He knows the ins and outs of illusion. He's written several books on the subject and, in one, he claims, Magicians don t protect their secrets from the audience, they protect the audience from their secrets. Indeed, the magic is in the presentation, not in knowing how it's done. But magic as we know it has been around for quite a while. The ancient conjurers became traveling vaudevillians who morphed into Las Vegas showmen and street mentalists. By this point, many stage tricks have been explained in books. Some have been revealed in lawsuits. Even Harry Houdini has had the secrets behind his most well-known tricks exposed.

Houdini was not killed by a stage stunt. He was killed when his appendix ruptured because a kid struck him in the stomach when he wasn't ready for it. His abdominal muscles were so strong that if he knew it was coming it wouldn't hurt him a bit to punch him in the stomach

Back in 1991, when Copperfield would perform at Caesar's Tahoe, he would stand outside the ticket booth in the middle of the day and sell his autograph to people who would pay for it. I thought he was a complete schmuck and ignored him.

Penn & Teller are awesome. My brother and I talked to them for hours after a show they did in our hometown. My brother even told Teller how to do a card trick that he refused to tell Penn and Penn still hates my brother for it lol.

Fun fact Houdini once nearly died because his crate landed with the trap door jammed in the mud of the river and he couldn t open it. luckily he got himself free after some struggling for a bit.

Magicians will always tell you the trick is the most important thing, but I'm more interested in telling a story. Marco Tempest

I think it s funny that they catch an intact bullet in their mouth. Like you catch the bullet and the casing after it s been shot? Okay.

Revealing the secrets behind these tricks is how they are pushed to innovate further. That s one of the stated reasons, at least.

As soon as you mentioned The Bullet Catch, I was watching out for screen grabs from Good Omens. It tickles me that you used one!
