Question:

How do magicians dissappear?

and how do they make things dissappear?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The main tool of the magician is your own mind.

The technique is called misdirection. The magician makes suggestions that you willingly accept. He tells you where to look, and what it is you are looking at. You believe the magician, and he takes advantage using any means he/she can. Yes, there are mirrors, and trap doors and boxes with hidden compartments... but the first tool is the mind of the beholder.
