Chinese torture chamber with water
One of the most famous tricks in the world of illusion is the trick under the terrifying name of "Chinese torture chamber with water." This trick was performed by many illusionists, but Harry Houdini made his real calling card of his performances, and later David Copperfield, an American, will repeat it. If you understand physics, then it will immediately become clear to you that when the body of a magician is immersed in a tank of water, excess water is poured out and leaves an air pocket, which gives the magician extra time for an amazing release. The secret is also in knots and handcuffs, and a well-rehearsed trick was performed in seconds.

Levitation
A man hovering in the air at all times caused delight and bewilderment of the audience. But this magical at first glance trick has its own simple secret. The illusionist hovers in the air thanks to an invisible cable, which is located under his clothes, which by the way always resembles a hoodie. Spacious clothes are needed to hide everything that the audience does not need to see, in addition, there is almost always a rug under a soaring person. It is underneath the hardest part of the flying device.

The disappearance of the statue of liberty
Truly, the most mystical and mysterious trick in the history of illusion and magic. This focus belongs to the unsurpassed David Copperfield and, although he is more than 35 years old, the debate about how such a large statue could disappear has not yet subsided. But in reality, not everything is as complicated as it might seem at first glance. The thing is that the statue itself is located on a small island, where there is nothing else except it. And this played into the hands of the illusionist, because the secret of focus itself is in the right light. Large spotlights were directed at the statue, illuminating it in such a way that an illusion of its absence was created.

Passing through a brick wall
The author of this, as it seems at the beginning of an amazing trick, is the legendary Harry Houdini. But even he himself performed it only a couple of times, because it would not be difficult to solve his secret, so the master of illusion decided to leave it to future magicians and not let his secret be revealed. And the secret of this miraculous focus is simple, the three-meter wall was specially built on the carpet, under which there was a rectangular hole, through which the magician made his way to the opposite side of the wall.

Teeth bullets
Pretty dangerous trick for entertaining performances, agree? But then again, everything is quite simple. The bullets that magicians use for their numbers are not real. In most cases, bullets are made of wax. And in order to make them impossible to distinguish from real ones, they are painted with acrylic paint. Departing from the barrel of a gun, the wax bullet melts and does not reach the performer, and another, already real bullet appears in the teeth. The main task of the illusionist is to quietly hide it behind the cheek and, at the right time, put it between the teeth.

In each half of the box, the magician has two women at once, and we see the head of one and the legs of the second. That’s the whole secret.

Who else could come up with and implement this trick with a real and very big animal, if not Harry Houdini? He performed it only once, but this focus firmly entered the history of magic and illusion.

Map through glass
Have you ever wondered why an illusionist always guesses a mysterious card? Strong intuition or grandiose talent, you say, but no. And now we will declassify one of them. The “card through glass” focus is one of the most spectacular among card tricks. And it consists in the fact that the ordinary viewer selects the card he likes and returns it to the magician. Meanwhile, the assistant sorcerer stands behind the glass and carefully watches the viewer and remembers which card he pulled out. When the illusionist throws the deck on the glass, the assistant imperceptibly glues the desired card to the glass. All cards are showered and on the glass it remains only to need a card.
The second interpretation of the trick is when the magician asks the victim to personally sign on the map. Then he returns the card to the deck, allows the victim to mix them and attach the deck to the glass. Then the magician goes to the back of the glass and takes out the treasured card. Naturally, when the victim signed on the card, she did not return to the deck. A skilled magician managed to take her with him.

A man sits in a bag with his hands tied behind his back, the bag is placed in a huge box, which is closed and wrapped with a rope. And then it is also placed in a closet with a curtain. The illusionist’s assistant enters this closet, closing the curtain behind her three times, after which the curtain opens and the audience is presented with a picture where the magician and assistant have already changed places.
