At What Point Do We Come Clean?

There is an article in today?s Norwich Evening News (UK) titled, ?Magician Predicted Terrible Earthquake.?  The article tells the story of Geraldini (a/k/a Gerald Morter) headline prediction as part of the Cavalcade of Mystery, Magic and Illusion in Norwich.

 

Mr. Morter told reporters he would be able to forecast the headline of the Evening News on December 28th.  He placed his predictions into a box, locked the box and gave it to a radio presenter for safe-keeping until last night.

 

Mr. Morter invited the radio broadcaster to the stage of the Cavalcade and instructed him to open the box and the smaller box inside.  Inside the smallest box was a brown envelope with the prediction.

 

It said: “I, Geraldini, predict that the front page of the Evening News dated Tuesday, December 28 December, 2004 will reveal the worst under-sea earthquake to hit Thailand and Asia. This quake will cause great damage and loss of life.”

 

The front page of the Evening News told the tragic story of how a Norfolk mother-of-four was swept to her death as the immense wave hit her in Thailand.

 

The magicians in the reading public know how this was done but for those who don?t know the secret, you won?t learn it here.  Inside Magic does not expose magic secrets.  Suffice it to say Mr. Morter did not really predict the future headline ? there is a trick to it.

One of our favorite columnists in PC World Magazine is Steve Bass.  We didn?t know until tonight that Mr. Bass is one of us.  He has been an amateur magician for 40 years and admits he is rarely fooled. 

 

In today?s column, Mr. Bass invites those of us sitting in front of our office computers to admit we are not really working but killing time until the end of the year.  Once we have admitted our true nature, Mr. Bass then has suggestions on how to spend that otherwise unused time while sitting in front of our workstations. 

 

One of the sites to which he directs readers features a video of Lennart Green performing what looks like a camera trick ? we assure you, however, it is very real.  Check out the video and watch carefully.  It is absolutely incredible.  We don?t want to tell you more for fear of ruining the wonderful illusion. 

 

Mr. Bass writes, ?I’ve been an amateur magician for more than 40 years and I’m rarely fooled. Here’s an excerpt of a card routine that’s dazzling, one that definitely floored me. BTW, the magician’s name is Lennart Green.? 

 

Check out the video link of Mr. Green here.
