The secrets behind 9 classic magic tricks are much simpler than you think.
1/9 From childhood to adulthood, we've seen magic tricks of all sizes and in all sorts of places and ways . I'm sure you, like me, are curious about the secrets behind these magic tricks. Below, we'll reveal the secrets of 9 classic magic tricks to satisfy your curiosity. Suspended Sitting Magic Trick: The magician first sits on a chair, then has an assistant remove the chair, but he remains seated as before. The truth: There's an invisible mechanism on the platform where the magician sits. When his shoes are attached to it, his legs are fixed in place, and a hidden frame inside his trousers helps maintain this stability.
2/9 Needle Swallowing Magic: The magician swallows a thread and a needle, opens his mouth for the audience to examine, and then pulls a thread with the needle through it out of his mouth. The Truth: The magician didn't actually swallow the needle; instead, he spat it into a glass of water. Due to lighting, no one saw this process. The magician had the thread with the needle in his mouth beforehand, and when demonstrating the "empty mouth" trick, he blocked the cardboard with his finger before pulling it out.
3/9 The Bullet - Catching Magic Trick: An assistant fires a gun at the magician, but the magician is unharmed and manages to catch the bullet in his mouth. The truth: The bullet used by the assistant is actually made of wax, which melts the moment it leaves the barrel. The magician simply spits out the bullet from his mouth and catches it with his teeth at the same moment it is fired.
4/9 Body Separation Magic Trick: The magician splits his female assistant into four parts, a shocking sight. The truth: The assistant had actually been inside the boxes below all along, with only her head visible. The other body parts in the boxes were just models.
5/9 The Human - Passing Magic Trick: The magician's assistant is placed in a narrow box with a hole in the middle. The magician walks through the hole, and you see him pass through the assistant's body. The Truth: While the box appears narrow when the assistant is standing in the middle, there is actually enough space for movement. When the assistant changes position, the magician has ample room to pass through the hole.
6/9 The Fish-in-a - Bottle Magic Trick: A magician puts a lid on a bottle filled with water, places a piece of paper on the lid, and then pretends to perform some magic. After removing the lid, a fish appears inside the bottle. The Truth: There's a thin sheet on top of the bottle, and the fish was placed on it. Because the lid was on, we couldn't see the sheet. When the paper was removed, the magician pulled out the sheet, and the fish fell into the water.
7/9 The Disappearing Train Magic Trick: A large cloth is covering a train, which is quickly torn off, and the train disappears. The truth: The reason you can see the train's outline behind the cloth is because there's a thin frame inside, making you think the train disappeared from the cloth. In reality, the train was already hidden under the stage, and its descent was concealed by stage lighting.
8/9 Escape from Restraint Magic: The magician puts on a tight-fitting suit, fastens the two sleeves behind his back, and is then tightly bound. After a while, the magician is supposed to break free from the restraints. Truth: While the sleeves are being tied, the magician takes the opportunity to slip his arms out, takes a deep breath, and places his arms in front of his chest, giving the illusion that his arms are bound.
9/9 Human Impaling Magic Trick: The magician lies on a pointed pole, and then his body is slowly pierced. Truth: The pole is actually retractable. There's a special hole in the magician's back, and the pole's tip is inserted into that hole. To mimic the piercing effect, there's also a mechanism in the magician's abdomen that pops out a pointed tip at the appropriate time, creating the illusion of being pierced. Perhaps you have better methods for performing these magic tricks? Let's discuss them together.
