The (Not So Secret) Secrets Behind Magic Tricks

Those Darn Magicians

The magician will generally have a few things on hand for this trick. In a lot of cases, if the magician is working with a cup of water, to avoid spillage, the magician will be carrying a small piece of clear ice (ice with no air bubbles).
