What is a good way to learn magic tricks free over the internet?
Go to Google Groups. Look for alt.magic and alt.magic.secrets The “Secrets” group will tell you how many tricks are done. However, it takes a lot of skill for some of them, and just knowing how it is done won’t be sufficient. Go to your public library and look for magic books. Go to Amazon.com to find magic books. Just search the Interent and www.froogle.com for “magic books” and “magic tricks” and “illusions” Look for the Pothole trick. It is amazing and not too hard to do. You can buy a reasonably priced video that teaches you how to do it. The video is $15 and it’s worth it: http://www.michaelclose.com/Tricks.
