    I’ve always thought science was magical, but when science and magic actually combines it makes everything 10x more interesting than people think it will be.

    I love this. I am totally going to buy a mirage deck for sure. I came up with a trick with a deck like this one a few days ago when I first saw this video.

    I think it’s interesting how magicians use sleight-of-hand and misdirection to come up with really cool tricks.
