Awww Stefu you ruined it!
But as everyone knows, the real trick is how to do it really good. I'm not very good at it, but I still fooled my mom .

Twisting Arm is cool too, I can go almost 540 degrees. It seems so impossible when you try to rationalize it. 360 is easy, 540 hurts a bit

And as always, it's not enough just to do it, you have to master it. And also you need to be so good that you don't have to concentrate on doing the trick itself, but master it and concentrate on distracting the people so they won't get it. If you just do it without setting it up, that's when people guess how you did it. But if you really master it and put a little show to it and act a bit.. man it's perfect.
The levitation thingie is very hard to master, you need to have excellent balance and you just can't do it, you need to act too. It works on people you don't know very good better than your friends. Your buddies will figure it out, you need to create the 'it's actually impossible' feeling. Your best buddies figures you out too fast, but strangers or people you don't know that good.. they start thinking too difficult things and end up with 'you're scaring me'
. And no, I haven't done it to strangers, and I'm not about to. The best set up would be when people don't expect magic tricks, but see you accidentally. That's when they would freak out completely. But there's high risk of failure on this one, so you end up looking like a fool very easily.
The arm trick works almost always and it's safe. But you have to set up that too. It's easy, so you need to distract people just a bit and act a little too.
It's all about distraction and making people not realize how simple it is, so it feels impossible and they start to be afraid of you which is always cool.In da butt.

The tricks are always more interesting when you know how they're done.
When I saw David Blaine on TV I assumed it was just a big con and the people on the street were actors - the stuff he was doing seemed just too amazing. I actually have more respect for him now I know how he does some of the tricks.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

Sure. Those are so basic tricks, but he makes them seem so unbelievable and nothing like normal magic tricks. He makes normal tricks seem like super stuff, and that's how good he is.In da butt.
