The Anatomy of Illusion: Popular Magic Tricks Explained

Walking on Water – Anatomy of the Illusion

The magicians try their best to make it look like they are finding it hard to maintain their balance while walking, but honestly, they don’t need to do that. They are just trying to increase the plausibility of their performance, as weird as it may sound. The main props of the illusion are special Perspex boxes, that when put underneath the water surface, become invisible. Magicians arrange them perfectly and in close proximity to each other to ensure a safe walking experience.

Random magic fact: Intellectual property law doesn’t cover any incidents that involve magic tricks. So basically, an amazing, original trick can be stolen from a magician and there’s absolutely nothing he can do about it. At least not in the court of law.
