The Vanishing Magic Trick
Today’s video is more of a magic trick than an optical illusion, but I think that you’ll enjoy it nonetheless. The best part about this trick is that Richard Wiseman shows you a behind-the-scenes look after he performs the trick. This way, you get to see exactly how he pulled it off. Watch as he holds a red ball in his right hand and then makes it vanish in thin air. Or does he?
Notice how this trick can really only be pulled off using a video camera? It would be difficult to perform something like this live since you would be able to see everything that is happening outside of the camera frame.
