well how does it work?

  • Is it really appropriate to discuss how the illusion works on this site? Though the secret revealed here is not particularly astonishing, it doesn't really set a good precedent for any other illusions discusssed in Wikipedia. --Mattsnyder 07:13, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Good question. There's been a month-long discussion here you might be interested in, it seems to be the most popular place for these discussions:Talk:Out_of_This_World_(card_trick). This article is also interesting: Magic_(illusion)#Secrecy. Also, there's a box on the bottom of many magic pages: Sawing_a_woman_in_half#See_also. Browse through those pages and look in the discussion link at the top of the page; you might find some more debates. And... after the secret is revealed, no magic trick is astonishing -- hence the spoiler warning. Welcome to Wiki.--Muchosucko 08:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

I know many secrets of magic, and the tricks are still JUST AS ASTONISHING. Much of the trick is in presentation. So that might be a reason to keep the secret on Wikipedia.


  • Should we talk about the circular saw version of the illusion ?
  • What the heck? Expose old tricks, invent new tricks, learn new tricks, everybody improves.
