The Awesome Power Of Performance Magic
So last night I had resigned myself to a lazy night of watching TV. The weather wasn’t so hot, and I couldn’t find anybody that wanted to do anything. Then a couple of old friends called me up out of the blue. It seems that they had come across some tickets for some show at some club. We all went, not even knowing what kind of show it was going to be. It turned out to be a magician. I have never in my life been so incredibly mesmerized as I was that night. Let me tell you about it.
He started off with basic magician stuff. Sleight of hand tricks. Covertly taking peoples wallets. At one point he was circulating, talking to people at different tables. He sat down next to this guy for a minute, then stood and started walking away when the guy realized he’d switched their shoes.
After that, he did this crazy mental trick. He asked a few audience members to name a world city, then he asked different members to name famous people from history. He made sure that he picked people at random, with the crowd actually doing the picking. Then when he finished, he pulled out this crumpled up paper and had somebody in the crowd read it. It was a short essay involving all the world cities, and all the historical figures the crowd had named.
After that he started doing these wild psychic tricks. He pretended that he was a professional psychic, but he actually guessed people’s names and birthdays and all kinds of other secret stuff perfectly. People were really amazed at his abilities.
He asked for a couple volunteers. Again, he made sure we knew they were normal, everyday people. Then he did this weird hypnosis on them, and they started accurately guessing people personal information. One guy that was hypnotized even accurately guessed some ladies drivers license number. I swear this guy was an alien or something.
I’d forgotten how incredibly entertaining magic can be. If you’ve never seen a magic show, or it’s been a while, you should check it out. Or better yet, learn some tricks yourself, so you can entertain others.
