Great article, I especially liked that second-to-last paragraph about using different methods.

This is hands down my favorite part about magic. That is, beyond the technical aspect of sleight of hand and into how to make it work.

I love the idea that our tricks should exist within larger tricks. A sort of meta-performance, if you will.

Haha, I loved this. Y'should have seen my face as I read the last few lines. Thanks a lot for posting, brilliant stuff.

Thanks for that post. It was a great read, great subject, and a great to end the business day. The science and study of human consciousness is a facinating subject, and i think very appropriate to magic.

You'll probably learn more from that one article than you will from most magic resources. Don't overlook it.
