Effect: A soda or beer can can be seen to be stuck in mid air whilst the performer eerily moves his hand from the bottom to the top of the can to create the illusion that the can is suspended in mid air.

Preparation: None, you only need a regular soda or beer can.

Method: Hold the soda or beer can in your hand, thumb on one side, fingers on the other, (towards the bottom of the can) , then simply release your grip slightly and the can will start to slide downwards. When doing this, the hand needs to be gradually but slowly moving upwards, if the timing is right it will create an illusion that the can is suspended in mid air, the upward movement of the hand needs to be exactly the same as the downwards movement of the can.

Comments: This is an easy illusion trick. It is all in the timing, therefore you should spend some time at home practicing. The result should be a great illusion trick which will have everyone dumbfounded.

Criss Angel Said, “Consider a tornado that will come out of my mouth and wrap around the theater! You will see the things that you see me do on Mindfreak, so to all those skeptics and naysayers that say all those things can’t be done live I challenge them to come and see my live show and you will see everywhere the most insane demonstration of illusions and connect on an emotional journey with me within the show.”

If you was planning on performing this trick for your girlfriend tonight. You are out of luck unless you live near a magic shop. But any day is a good day to give magic flowers. So order from your favorite online magic shop for a future occasion. Make sure she gives you the flowers back afterwards so you can do the trick again another day.

David Blaine says, “I’m dropping 30 pounds,” he told me. “I do two hours every day on the treadmill. I’m on a raw diet that includes brown rice. No red meat. No animal products besides cooked fish.”

“It’s been tried before. In 1959, Peter Tripp stayed awake eight days, but it resulted in permanent brain damage. In 1964, 17-year-old Randy Gardner did it for a high school science project. He lasted 11½ days but recovered fully. No damage. A guy in London tried but fell short. Another did 19 days but slept two hours each night, so that doesn’t count. Also he was seated in a rocking chair. If I do this thing, which you claim I’m doing, I’ll do it on my feet. Standing up.”

“After 36 hours of sleep deprivation it’s like being drunk, 72 hours and paranoia sets in, Day Four the mind goes into hallucinations and you’re dreaming while awake. The problem is there’s no way to know how to offset brain damage or to train for this because there isn’t sufficient research. I believe the first guy’s mistake was not being in great physical condition. Also he used stimulants to keep awake, which I assume did him in.”

I placed the card on the opposite side of the hallway and when a group of people were having their break i said wait let me show u a trick. The way I stood made them stand away from the window covering the card. I forced a duplicate card on someone and revealed the wrong card.

They did the “maybe next time” and was about to walk away when i got “angry” and flicked all the cards at the window. Within seconds they saw the card on the window and were amazed. One person even scratched the window to confirm that the revealed card was on the other side of the glass. The trick was very easy to perform with a great reaction All you need to do is setup a card and use your favorite force.

This episode revolves around an alter ego of Criss Angel, the Traveling Salesman. In this disguise, Criss goes from door-to-door and town-to-town amazing people with his bottomless suitcase, in which he keeps unlikely items such as a ladder, a bowling ball and a hat rack. Last year, in downtown Las Vegas, in front of hundreds of onlookers, Criss surrounded a girl with temporary walls; when the walls came down, she was gone. This year, Criss will attempt the same unbelievable vanish, but this time without walls or barriers of any kind. Then Criss reveals to his mother that he’s going to attempt to vanish before a raging Mexican bull charges him.
