Just being curious.
by Ian The Magic-Ian » Jul 4th, '08, 03:49
What's everyone's favorite classic of magic? My favorite is ( I don't know how old it is but...) Prof. Nightmare, if that's not considered classic then...The Asrah Levitation, In my opinion it's a beautiful piece of magic IF performed right. Just curios thanks for reading.

Every genre of magic has classics. For example the afore mentioned ambitious card, professor's nightmare, coins across, cups and balls. One of my favourite routines is a professor's nightmare that I end with linking rope rings, and then end up with just one long rope.

I would also rate professors nightmare as a classic of magic and it's one of my personal favourites but in my view it's shaved to the title by the chop cup.
I am also a big fan of the egg bag.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

A good cut and restored rope is a must in almost any magician's repertoire.
Another classic that I like is Coins Thru Table. Sooo many options of techniques that all have the same effect. Wonderfully deceptive when used together.

I love the good old fashioned ace assembly. So many versions inspired by such a simple premise- all 4 aces gathering in one pile.
But failing that, anything by Vernon- Triumph and twisting the aces being stand-outs at this point.

4 coins to a glass is awesome, so many variations, and a very nice trick!
Prof. Nightmare is a nice one as well, especially when you show them 3 roes the same size!

The Chinese Linking Rings. It sometimes gets boring for the audience unless you know how to perform it right. Although I find it fun to perform.
