Magic is an art of illusion, a practice in deception, a training in trickery. People have been entertaining, deceiving, or swindling crowds throughout history with feats of prestidigitation, decorated with salesmanship, dramatic effect, confidence, and charisma. It is generally accepted today that there is nothing supernatural about magic; in essence, a magician is skillfully conjuring the appearance of true magic through sleight of hand, misdirection, and cunning. This is why many magicians call themselves "illusionists," embracing the idea that the audience enjoys the trick because they do not know how such an amazing feat could have been performed by natural means. Magic tricks are not only great for stage and street performance but are also well suited for entertainment at parties or as ice breakers at small gatherings. Card tricks are among some of the most popular and infamous illusions used by magicians. In this free online video series learn from expert magician Brandon Nowasky as he teaches magic tricks, fundamentals, and techniques such as the two detectives, trick break, glide technique, the rising card, envelope prediction, the double lift, and how to control a card for a trick.
