Pretty amazing magic tricks.

I suspect the water bottle trick is done with thin double-walls in the bottle and the water's in the lid. I've seen a toy baby bottle that does the same thing and it was impressive.

The levitation I suspect is done with wires and the lackeys holding her initially are so that she doesn't swing or sway and give it away.

His sleight-of-hand on the separating rubber bandsis impressive though. That's pure skill.

TV in Japan posted these YouTube clips of a magician explaining the secrets behind his tricks.

There are a lot more links, including that one, on the FG home page side bar. Some of the blogs have since died but the site owner, bikkle, does update it.

It's a law of nature, my little shuriken tosser - can I just call you "Tosser" for short? Like moths to a flame, and trolls to a website, women are attracted to a magician - otherwise, the magicians would quickly run out of PYT's to saw in half.

And I think you would agree, Tosser, that a sarariman or oyaji as an "assistant" would not work as well. Instead of immense relief as the smiling PYT emerges unscathed, you would have looks of disappointment on the little kiddies' faces when they realised that the oyaji had not in fact been sawn in half.

As for your lack of success with the ladies, Tosser, have you tried deodorant?
