I found this great video of the normally silent Teller speaking on psycology in magic

enjoy

Have problems with the noise level, but a really good insight.

Thx for sharing

I think the volume level has something to do with the way it was recorded

I thought it was a great video. It gave a great view point on what magic should be. I really like when someone deconstructs something to show how something actually is happening. I don't care at all about the method to his coin trick in case that's what you were thinking when I said the above "I really like when someone deconstructs something to show how something actually is happening" I meant what the audience is seeing. I'm not being very clear and articulate in the point I'm trying to get across... In short, I just enjoy the psychology behind magic, I enjoyed reading it in tricks of the mind... It just interests me... (This is probably riddled with Bingo so...)

I hope this made some sort of sense. Thanks for the post flaw!

If you can find and afford it, Teller wrote an essay for the Miracle Factory's edition of the works of Stuart Cramer on Karl Germain, "Germain the Wizard".

He covers his way of understanding the magical methods of great past magicians and how he sees their work as models.

You can justify the price by noting that it's over 600 pages about one of the most visually artistic and brilliantly deceptive magicians of the previous century.
