How To Crack The Laws Of Physics With This Influential Illusion

By Miles J. Sunkest

This is a great magic trick to do in front of a small crowd. When done properly, it will always impress them, and they will never be able to guess how you did it. This is an up close magic trick that requires absolutely no props, so you can perform this in any impromptu situation. The only caveat is that you can only do it once. If you are asked to repeat this, your audience will watch you more closely and likely figure out how you it.

This is what the visitors sees. You produce a standard, plastic bottle, moderately filled with fluid. Soda, water, anything. Empty the contents of the bottle to show that it is a standard, everyday bottle of soda. Then you take out a standard coin, and of course permit the group to inspect it. You get the coin, set it against the side of the bottle, and reveal that you will certainly pass the coin through the plastic.

Here's the key. You stand with your friends in a pretty fairly tiny area just off to your left. If you were to sketch an imaginary cone from where you are positioned to the location where these people are positioned, make positive the cone is smaller than 45 degrees. Holding your palms out for stability, lift yourself up using only your right foot, up as high as you could on your toes. Maintain your left foot even to the floor. By positioning yourself so that they can't see your right foot, you will seem to have levitated off the floor.

Here's the strategy. The very first product you need to acquire is a strong magnet. If you use an easy to acquire Neodymium magnet, you can expect to have no difficulties, as they are little and effortless to conceal. You require a pair of coins, one particular to display to the viewers, and one more to covertly put inside of the bottle in advance. To conceal the coin within the bottle, peel back the tag, and using a razor-sharp cutting knife, slice a small slit in the bottle, merely big enough for the coin to pass through. You can effortlessly put the content label back over the slit.

Now position the magnet on the exterior of the label, and roll the bottle around so the coin sticks to the magnet, and remains out of sight on the inside against the content label. While holding the bottle, simply keep your thumb over the magnet, and keep the label facing the crowd, so they can't notice the coin. The force of the bottle striking the table will disengage the coin, inducing it to drop to to the base of the bottle. The crowd will be focused on the coin in the bottom part of the bottle, and you can swiftly stick the magnet and the coin in your own pocket.

The great part concerning this technique is that right after you're completed, you can offer the bottle to the audience, and unless they peel the label off, they'll by no means notice the slit. Since this is the type of a trick that demands a few single use props, it's best when used in combination with some other tricks. Youngsters (of all age ranges) love this secret and generally find it incredibly interesting. Have fun.
