Ok. I know this is not magic, but it's cool anyway

I was actually about to film my improved version of "The Biddle Trick" when I noticed this. I then thought, "Wow! This looks like a weird perspective thingy!". So I started to film my weird perspective thingy. Then I did what I did by mistake!!

I thought it looked cool the 1st time I watched it, so just watch it once everyone

Here it is

Then, I didn't do what I had started out to do.

Meh. I'll film it tomorrow

haha nice! i can do that too! my keyboard comes out from under my desk! looks crazy though haha nice job

Oh Damn! How did you ever figure that one out Mystik!!!

This is a pretty good effect. I showed it to my mum in real life, but she didn't seem to be amazed. I don't know why

haha moms are lame.. my mother doesnt approve of my magic anyway.. just school and junk :\

[sarcasm]It's not?!?!?!?!?![/sarcasm]

lol

StEvEbO!

try to video tape the trick again, but with a better resolution so you can see things

My cam is not the best quality becuase it is several years old and becuase of several incidents with my brother breathing on the lens lol

Mystik, the reason why my mum wouldn't have found it amazing would be that she could stand where the cam sits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, I still haven't filmed The Biddle Trick yet. I'm still thinking if I should do my 1st version, my 2nd version, the real version or the 1st + the 2nd versions!!!!

how did it actually work - is it the table or the card or camera trick

Soz, it may sound suilly but i honestly was baffled by that

That would be telling!

Suffice it to say that it's a clever perspective trick - and there was a good hint a little bit up about a keyboard

Kati

It's pretty much all of those things except the card! Expecpt not a camera trick, a camer angle

And here was I thinking Copperfield really did make the Statue of Liberty dissapear You mean, people really do use camera trickery

I've now sussed how PD made everyone pick the right card, and I thought it was sleight of hand, and forcing decks

I've put a vid camera on my Xmas list now cos I want to be a good magician Looking forward to making a Jet dissapear in my local pub he he he he

Modern technology, where's it all going Slate boards replaced by dry wipe boards, packs of cards replaced by an Ipod, magicians replaced by a 3D image transmitted via 3 transponders in the pub I'll soon be able to get my fee while sat in the bath at home, hey, what's wrong with modern technology

I don't know what your mother is like but my mother is cool. Just like every other mother she wants me to do well in school (or university as thats where I am now) but she'd never disapprove of my hobbies unless they involved unnecessary promiscuity, drugs, or something else that would threaten my health in some way. I've entertained her on many occasions with my learned trickery. She rather enjoys it.

Why does M O M come up as Mistress of Magic? If I wanted it to say that then I would type that. If I was in a rush then I wouldn't be on this site, I'd be doing more important, deadline related things.

Anyone agree?

Some time ago the built in word censor (intended to weed out profanities) on TM was adapted so that abbreviations could be typed but the full words appear. If you put a . betweem any of the letters they appear almost as you want them. If you try MD.M without the . you get MagicDiscoMan. If you type MD.K without the dot you get Mandrake and if you type MOG with or without the . you get MOG.

MO.M without the . was set up for Lindsey who appears here under the name of MOM but, as we've found, many folks refer to their Mo.m and it does cause complications. At the moment we can't change anything to do with the word censor unfortunately so it's a question of Previewing messages and making changes/corrections before Submitting.

Same with my mum. She would only disapprove of my hobbies if they included jumping off of buildings and seriously hurting myself, which I don't do, unless a paper cut counts!!!
