The trick can be explained very simply. The Statue was draped with a huge piece of fabric or covered by a big screen put in front of the audience. The whole illumination of the monument was turned off except for the spotlights. This simple preparation created the illusion of hollow space, and the set of lights blinded the audience. After the monument was unveiled, people were not able to see it because their vision was temporarily blurred by the spotlights.
How to make a huge truck disappear when it's surrounded by the audience on all sides? All you need to do is drape a special construction over the truck , create a fake audience with your friends, and ask somebody to drive the truck out of the construction. When you take the drapes off, the truck is not there anymore. Now you understand why this trick may be seen only on TV. A man floating in the middle of the street is neither a magician nor a yogi.
The illusion is accomplished via the placement of a steel structure under the performer's baggy clothes. Of course, no secret powers are used here. In the act, the partner on the other side of the glass gets to see it to, who slaps the card against the glass, making it seem like impromptu street magic. Source: HalifaxVideos. Ever seen a person being hacked by a guillotine, yet escaping unscathed?
It's just a smart trick employed by magicians to entertain the audience. Explanation: While the upper part employs a real, deadly blade like the one used in a real guillotine , the lower part has secret compartments.
You must have seen women being suspended in mid-air without support? Ever wondered the science that goes behind it? Explanation: There is always some kind of support or reinforcement. The video below would explain better. The most common trick there is in the book. A woman is placed inside a box, with only her legs and head popping out of either ends. A chainsaw cuts through the box, cutting the woman in half, with her legs and head still moving!
Ever wondered how they do it? Explanation: It's all about the right stage setup and a tall volunteer! The video below will explain better. This was one of David Blaine's most famous magic tricks in which he turned a homeless man's cup of coffee into a cup full of coins.
These very powerful examples illustrate that if people are sufficiently distracted they can fail to see a gorilla even when one is right in front of their eyes. Magicians frequently exploit these attentional limitations by misdirecting your attention and so preventing you from seeing their secret moves.
In some of our research we have shown show how this can be used to prevent you from seeing fully visible events. In the lighter trick , for example, a magician is seated at a table across from the viewer a. He picks up the lighter and flicks it on c—f. He pretends to take the flame away and make it vanish, providing a gaze cue as misdirection away from his other hand.
At f , the lighter is visibly dropped into his lap g—h. The lighter appears to have vanished. Although the lighter is dropped in full view, half of the viewers completely fail to see this happen because they are distracted. What this, and other tricks show, is that people often fail to see things even when they are looking straight at them.
