Magic & Mentalism: page 338

Imagine being able to tell someone the direction of their house when you are both stood in the middle of nowhere that you have both never been to before.

Imagine being able to get from one location to another via walking or driving without the use of maps, GPS, or compasses because you just "know where to go".

Imagine being driven to a city you have never been to before. You get out of the car and are blindfolded and taken to a new location within the city. Upon removing the blindfold you can then instantly begin walking in the direction of the car and eventually return back to it without...

Viele, wenn nicht die meisten Kunststücke, haben einen Höhepunkt, den effektvollen Abschluß des magischen Geschehens. Das Wiederherstellen einer zerschnittenen Schnur oder eines zerrissenen Papiers, der plötzliche Farbwechsel eines Tuchs oder das Erscheinen von Zitronen unter den Bechern beim Becherspiel sind einige Beispiele.

Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit zugehörigen Problemen...
