Magic tricks are amazing arent they?
While I am aware that "magic" is not real since they are tricks that are performed within the laws of physics, however just the complexity involve in performing them without giving a hint of what the process was leaves me speechless. I wonder how "magicians" even come up with these ideas in the first place.

@sezbeth how do you know it's a tv show? btw I still think it's real. what are your thoughts about the Rubik's cube vid?[/quote]
The first one was fro the T.V. show, "Brain Games"; and my thoughts are somewhere along the lines of you giving too much credit to television and internet videos, which is silly to say the least.
Had I, or any college professor, ever come across a student attempting to cite legitimacy from something of the sort for a paper, they'd receive a failing grade almost immediately. Television shows and YouTube videos are not credible sources of any kind, nor are videos of magic tricks evidence of any kind for the metaphysical. Credible sources are peer reviewed, comprehensive studies and other scholarly pieces based on actual evidence, not what someone believes on the internet.

2nd video watch how he creates a real Rubik's cube with the same color as the one on the shirt (3:50) and watch how he puts it back on the shirt with the SAME colors again.[/quote]
You know that's just a T.V. show, right? It's an illusion via misdirection, sleight of hand, and a level of creativity. There's nothing metaphysical about it.
its black magic. We need to burn them!

even when Penn and Teller do the tricks slowly and tell you what they are doing....i still dont see it
i remember up until i saw the prestige the trick where the make a bird appear i didnt know they kill it
Yeah I can't figure out some tricks, and some of David Blaine's tricks may never be revealed.
Magic tricks are much less about the actual event that's happening, and more about the context and performance. More about emotion than about logic, more like a stageplay than a science show.
A lot of times, the idea is very silly and basic, but the magicians wrap it up with misdirection and mystery, and they divert your attention away from what's really happening.
ehh, once you start thinking outside the box its easier to tell how some tricks are done especially close up magic
