Six classic magic tricks revealed – we've been fooled for years!

When watching magic shows, since we don't understand how the magic is performed, we feel that something mysterious is happening on stage. Magicians can create an atmosphere of mystery, making us never doubt their magic!

1. Dismemberment in public

Do you feel terrified every time you see a magician "cut" a beautiful woman in half? We now know that it's not magical at all; it's just two flexible assistants hiding in boxes.

2. Crack the Money Magic Trick

The world's most famous magician, Kopperfield, passed a pencil through the middle of a banknote, and the banknote remained intact. The most amazing part of this magic trick was the special pencil. Because the pencil was cut at an angle, the magnet was located at the two ends of the pencil. Naturally, the banknote wouldn't break when it passed through those two parts.

3. The magician floating in the air

The amazing thing is that there is a supporting flat surface under the carpet, so the performers usually wear loose clothing to cover up the mechanism, which is also decorated to resemble a cane.

4. The cup is missing.

The magician places a cup on a table and covers it with a towel. Then, he picks up the cup and towel and throws them away. The towel falls to the floor, but the cup disappears. There are two things that seem magical: First, there's a wire loop on the towel that makes it appear as if a cup is underneath. Second, there's a hole in the table, through which the cup falls into the bag below.

5. Cut the girl in two.

This is part of the "dismemberment" performance. Sometimes the box is separated, making it look like the assistant has really been cut open, but in fact the black space in the middle can be used. So, the magic lies in the assistant's flexibility.

6. Michael Jackson's tilting dance moves

You should remember Michael Jackson's anti-gravity tilting dance moves. How did he manage not to fall? It's because his shoes had special grooves on the soles that could hold bolts on the stage.

After reading this, I suddenly realized how naive I've been, having been deceived for so many years. What grudge do I hold against you?
