Revealed Secrets Forum

This is a place you can reveal your secret tricks. This is mainly for newer users and they will spot this right away. We can use the same template as we do for reviews but telling the trick. Since why should we keep the secrets. The magicians code is to reveal all your secrets to others right as long as they say please?

Example: TT revealed



Many effects in magic -- particularly close-up magic -- rely on what magicians refer to as "a TT." A TT is, simply, the tip of the magician's thumb if it has been prepared by trimming the nail to a certain length and coating the very end with clear nail polish.

A thumb prepared in this way is useful for a great many things. For example:

Vanishing a small object (such as a coin or silk) by clipping it beneath the thumbnail and pulling it out of the way.
Hiding secret substances (such as magician's wax or zombie levitation fluid) beneath the nail.
Picking things up (when used in conjunction with additional fingers).
The polish on the TT helps ensure the smooth insertion and removal of items from beneath the thumbnail. Some magicians worry that the shiny polish will seem suspicious to the audience, but as an experiment a magician painted his nail with bright red polish and nobody in the audience seemed to even notice. :wink:

Yea i was pretty much joking, but i think if we do make this forum it will clear all the leechers to one nice little forum and we can give them some pretty useless secrets like the one above.

I agree false infomation could deter secret hunters, but it will make it even more difficult for people that are serious about magic to get started
