illusion or reality

Dear All. Can you please tell how do all the magicians like David Copperfield or Steven Frayne perform those magical tricks which obviously do not seem to be mere illusions.

This site is not for that type of magic. I suggest you google 'secrets of stage magic'.

And now there are types of magic and SoM is not meant for that. Well if google had the perfect answers i would have never posted it here.

There is real magic, which is what we talk about here.

And there is stage magic or illusion which is what David Copperfield and Steven Frayne perform. They are very, very good at illusions which is why what they might do seems like real magic, but it is not.

If you wish to learn the sorts of things that David Copperfield does you need to check out one of the many websites on stage magic and illusions.

I spent a lifetime in showbusiness, and I met many stage Illusionists. And that's what they are, Illusionists. And believe me, it takes an army of stage hands, and an enormous amount of equipment, to do what David Copperfield, et al, do on-stage.
Real magic is not the same thing at all!

Thank you lark and brysing. But can i get some references about learnimg thos illusions!

Illusionists are extremely secretive. You would need to be a member of The Magician's Circle. A very, very secretive Circle!
You might learn a few card tricks; but nothing like the great illusions.

Well i agree with you but steven Frayne would freeze moving water. Is that too an illusion or something like elemental magic!

It's an illusion. Moving water will not freeze.

Check that. A moving river will freeze, at extremely low temperature. But it's a very slow process, and is caused by the upper surface moving slower than the under-current. But freezing moving water instantly is an illusion.
