![]() The very nature of the televised trick is to abuse how cameras work and how people trust others they don't know so the magician can fool them. It is also very possible that Harrison Ford was in on it all the time, a lot of the really big tricks use fake crowds to make it look public, remove doubt and to hide the method of the trick so it is very possible that a known actor could be in on the trick. This is a perfect time to learn something about magic, forcing cards is a very common trick it could even be said to be one of the staple techniques magicians need to know. I'm all for reasonable explanations, but yours isn't one of them. And htf do you regularly get to 'force' someone to freely think of a card that you need them to think of? in someone's home, without them knowing anything about it? Indeed, how do you get them to pick the right fruit? The trick wouldn't work if HF later found the card in every piece of his fruit. How do you glue a piece of fruit together?. If you know how to force the choice of a card on someone and have access to fruit and some glue you can do the trick he did with Harrison Ford. Virtually everything Blaine does is a dressed up version of an old trick. My question is, is it possible to explain all of this as trickery? There were many such 'tricks' during this programme. But, thus far, none have been forthcoming. Of course, I'm as skeptical as you, so am looking for reasonable explanations in which we can utterly undermine the likes of DB. I have no reason to believe that 'magic' cannot happen. I'm serious that many of David Blaine's 'tricks' appear to have no physical explanation (if we discount downright fraud - all participants are always striving together to fool the viewers). Penn and Teller are atheists, and they know how every one of these tricks is performed. ![]() I have a friend who is a professional magician and he explains these things to me. Some of them even believe that Satan was helping that Filipino "doctor" who operated with his bare hands.
