I am not sure if any of you caught it but there is this trick on Mindfreak, the one where he asks someone to take off their hat and think of a fear and a spider comes out. I thought it was the funniest thing how that man took off his hat. Once you see how he took of his hat you instantly knew that it was setup. Next time he is doing that trick, take a look at how the victim takes off their hat and think to yourself if that is a way you would take off your hat.

and your reason for blatently exposing a trick is.

the answer is there is no excuse, none nada niet non or just plain no.

what does it serve exposing a trick to millions of people.

why why why.

I might be wrong, but isn't the answer something to do with ignorant self satisfaction?

i was hoping he / she /it would tell me, no profile imfo, no intro just about sums it up dosn't it.

Well what can we expect just a load of.....

if the creator of a trick, i.e. the magician, does not want to reveal his trick,no matter how obvious, why would you want to reveal it to everyone else?i knew a kid who would have been a potential magician,already knew hundreds of tricks and had a fast sleight of hand, and someone revealed his trick and he quit.heck, he was 2 years younger than me, and waaaaaaaaaaaay better, and he quit.


Also to Tomo:yeah, makes him seem better than Criss.

That's really not what I meant, mate.

That is NOT what we are saying

Perhaps people who expose secrets like this are the ones that send their bank details to those email scammers because they just can't keep anything to themselves.

How would you feel if someone exposed something about you online?

I can't fathem why these people sit for hours on end watching everything frame by frame, just because they can't work it out at real time speed?

For heavens sake - get a life!

Appreciate the trick for what it is

I might nick that for a future sig!

that's a cool quote AJ

Is it your own?

If he made a spider appear out of my hat (not that I wear a hat) first I'd have a heart attack, and then I would do some serious damage to Mister Mindfreak...

I don't know if that's actually what happened on the show, as described by the first poster, but that trick performed on anyone who didn't already know what was going to happen could be quite dangerous. Personally I'm mortally afraid of spiders, I've passed out because one crawled on me before. They make me feel sick, and faint, even fake ones. I can't even look at pictures. So I would NOT be a happy bunny at anyone performing magic on me that involved one of these said creatures!

But that's besides the point...I don't wanna know how he does his tricks. IMO they aren't the best out there anyway, so knowing how they are done as well would make me not want to watch at all

Dat, I guess its my own quote, didn't really think of it as a quote just though that sometimes we get absorbed in the technical things behind the tricks we see and should "appreciate the trick for what it is". It just came out but glad you like it.

You should add that to your signature.
