Magical Link
A friend of mine, who occasionally does some magic tricks, pointed out The Browser's Den of Magic to me. Uh oh, will definitely have to make a visit to this place sometime soon! Many, many eons ago I was given a set of simple magic tricks from my Uncle Archie. From those times I managed to remember the very simple disappearing-coin-that-reappears-out-of-someone's-ear sleight-of-hand trick, which delighted my 3 year old daughter. Then this friend of mine -- who I had no idea did this sort of thing -- did a little performance of a number of such magic tricks, and he led me to the Browser's Den. One thing that has changed a lot since I was a kid is the proliferation of magic trick videos to help explain things. This is a great idea, since I remember the books on magic I devoured from the local library when I was young often had confusing illustrations of simple sleight-of-hand tricks -- confusing to a young kid, anyways. Will definitely investigate, perhaps on the weekend...
