I've always been fascinated by these guys. They make things appear and disappear. I know that it is always "slight of hand" and not real magic.
Last night I was at a large business party event. A magician was operating between all of the tables, as part of the entertainment. I sat next to my wife, but on my right hand side I had one of my wife's work colleagues. She was young and beautiful, and inevitably attracted the magician.
So, not more than three feet away I watched what he did. Ok the card tricks are impressive, but at the end of the day just card tricks. This guy took a three inch nut - a nut as in a nut that screws onto a bolt. A hefty weighty object. I was determined to see "how he did it", as was the girl. Neither of us were distracted by his chit chat - we watched intently.
She threaded a rope through the nut, then wrapped it around his hand, then pulled tighter and tighter, tying more and more knots .... How did that nut come off the rope?
This is driving me "nuts" - how the hell did he do that?

I'd love to know how that Dynamo bloke gets the mobile phone into the empty bottle. I appreciate I'm thick in respect of many things but I'd like to find out. 🤔

Best I ever saw was a Spanish magician,who said he would count to 3 and then disappear. Well he started counting.. Uno Dos Then he disappeared without a tres
