Is it really possible to learn magic tricks? Have you ever watched a magician saw a woman in half and wonder how he did it? Or see a magician expose the exact card you chose out of a full deck? Wouldn't you love to see some of their magic secrets revealed?

Magicians rarely want to divulge their secrets; if they did it might be the end of their jobs. So, is it really possible to learn magic tricks? Yes! Always remember magic tricks are just that, tricks. To pull the trick off, distraction is key for a magician.

Here are a few magic secrets revealed.

One trick, (seeming as if the magician is super humanly strong,) is tearing a deck of cards in half. The magic secrets revealed are really quite simple. Bake the deck of cards in a hot oven. They become brittle and easy to tear. Or make a one inch cut on one side of the deck and cover the cut on top and bottom with a loose card.

“Who has the money,” is a trick where the magician guesses who is holding a certain coin. This is how it works. The magician leaves the room. While he is out someone is chosen by the rest of the group and is requested to hold a coin to their forehead for 20 seconds.

Then everyone puts their hands back on the table and the magician is called back into the room. After a lot of magic wand mumbo jumbo he points to the person who was holding the coin. He can tell because that person’s hand will be whiter than everyone else’s because the blood drained out of it when they held it to their forehead.

Magic secrets revealed about card tricks are that most magicians palm a card. He can easily move it wherever he wants, such as the top of the deck. Distraction is used, and then the card is placed in the palm with the corner pressed against the fleshy base of the thumb. Fingers are slightly curved together to hide the card.

“Ash voodoo” is another great slight-of-hand, and when you find out the magic secrets revealed involving it you will really appreciate the trick. The magician hands someone a pad of paper and has them write a word on the pad. The paper is ripped off the pad, waded up, put it in an ash tray and burned. The magician takes some of the ashes and rubs them on his arm;

magically the word from the burnt paper appears where the ashes were rubbed. To do the trick a wax pencil is used. The magician takes possession of the pad after the paper has been removed. By looking closely he can read what was written by the impressions left on the next page.

It’s a matter of distracting the audience while he copies the word onto his arm using the wax pencil. When the ashes are rubbed onto his arm they won’t rub into the wax. The words magically appear.

These magic secrets revealed can easily be done by anyone willing to take the time to practice.
