Gustav Kuhn – Experiencing the Impossible

How the scientific study of magic reveals intriguing―and often unsettling―insights into the mysteries of the human mind.

What do we see when we watch a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat or read a person’s mind? We are captivated by an illusion; we applaud the fact that we have been fooled. Why do we enjoy experiencing what seems clearly impossible, or at least beyond our powers of explanation? In Experiencing the Impossible, Gustav Kuhn examines the psychological processes that underpin our experience of magic. Kuhn, a psychologist and a magician, reveals the intriguing―and often unsettling―insights into the human mind that the scientific study of magic provides.

One Eye of God Fraser Parker

One Eye Of God is a peek envelope like no other. It is an entirely self-contained, normal, and attractive gift card-style envelope. It can be shown completely opaque on both sides, yet you are able to always see clearly through it whenever you wish. In this manner, the envelope is able to reveal the secrets of its contents to you.

There are no slits or moving parts. No use of alcohol to make the envelope transparent or any chemicals which need to be applied. In fact, nothing is added or taken away. There are no moving parts. The ingenious envelope does everything for you. It is self-working and resets on its own.

No magnets. No thread. No elastics. No electronics. No holding it up to the light or placing it inside another envelope.

Tenyoism by Richard Kaufman

The Cult of Tenyoism. I blame Richard Kaufman

Back in the 1970’s it was rare to go to a magic convention and not see Pavel’s Colour Changing Records performed many, many times. The trick was one of the many items in the Tenyo magic catalogue. Other popular Tenyo effects at the time were What’s Next (Spot Card), Locking Card Box, Cubio, plastic Chinese Sticks. Pretty much the entire range of Tenyo items were based on other people’s – mostly standard – tricks. However this was to change and change dramatically.

By the mid-70’s Tenyo’s creative team were developing and producing magic that rivalled in creativity and ingenuity the stage illusions from the golden age of stage magic. Except that these were for largely close-up performances and did not require much skill to physically work.
