„It’s a trick, just a magic trick.“
For any magic trick to work two basic components are required.
1. Control: The audience must keep to previously well-defined positions.
“Stay exactly where you are!”
2. Misdirection: The magician has to focus the audience’s attention on one point while performing the trick somewhere else.
“Keep your eyes fixed on me!”
If these two requirements are met, even the simplest trick will seem miraculous to the audience.
“One more miracle, Sherlock, for me.”
