List of magic tricks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page contains a list of magic tricks. In magic literature, tricks are often called effects. Based strictly upon published literature and marketed effects, there are hundreds of millions of effects; a short performance routine by a single magician may contain dozens of effects.
Warning: some trick pages include exposures. See also notes on copyright of magic methods.
