Check out this fascinating website... Quirkology. Can anyone figure out the method in The Mirror video?

The Quirkology site was posted online a few weeks back.

I've been waiting with baited breath for the Corkology solution. It was fascinating! (Revealed today, in fact).


Wiseman's works are great (again, coincidentally being discussed by Marvel & myself) and DO have many links with magic...

CHECK IT OWWWWTTTT

As for the Mirror vid... it's so obvious it's screaming at you! (it would help to be ambidexterous!)

Sorry, I did do a search for "Quirkology" but nothing came up. I can see how the mirror vid was probably done, but I can't figure out the banana vanish - probably can't see the wood for the trees.

I've just finished reading the book, and its a good read. You can get it pretty cheaply on amazon.

Agreed, it's an interesting book and anyone interested in psychology should read it. (The cheap price on Amazon is another good reason for buying it, as if you needed one!)

I finished the book recently and it is very interesting stuff.

Did you know that most people would rather wear a sweater that was covered in fresh dog faeces, than a sweater that had been dry cleaned but used to belong to a mass murderer? :shock:
