What's the most amazing and astounding magic trick that you've ever seen? Remember, there's often an extraordinarily simple solution to even the most complex tricks. Remember how David Copperfield (It WAS him, right? I don't remember.) seemingly froze himself in solid ice? Yeah, even I can reproduce that. :p
Probably the most astounding and seemingly solutionless magic trick I've ever seen, was done entirely on paper. (Again, speaking from the observer's point of view.)
Essentially, the magician (My aunt's friend, hired for her 50th birthday party. We all had a blast, thanks.) took a large piece of cardboard paper, and drew a rectangular card on it. It doesn't matter what the card was, as that wasn't nearly as significant as what happened next. He drew lines on the card to make it look 3D, like a box of cards. He then drew a long horizontal slit along the top of it, like one of those pushkas you see in stores, ... nevermind. >_< What amazed me about this trick, easily above all other tricks, is that a piece of paper slid out of this hole in the card, and settled. It was another card. Now, I know it's quite possible he had previously concealed the slit, and it was already there to push the paper through, but the thing is, when he had finished, he hadn't done anything to the card he had slid out. It rested there as a piece of the paper. Everyone had the chance to feel it and such. It was quite real. How the heck do you do that! :odd:
