- NEW!

It is widely known that probably THE cardinal rule of magicians is to NEVER reveal the secret to a trick. I especially know this because i'm a bit of a magician myself! In aLOT of the magic books I've come across they usually have an intro with the "rules of magic" or something like that.
Whenever someone comes out and tries to reveal secrets of magic, especially on national television, I would say that many professional magicians dislike it very much! Some professional magicians speak out against those who seek to reveal the secrets. I recommend reading what bill palmer has written about revealing magic:

"Magic is like a butterfly. You can give a 5-year old boy a butterfly, and he can look at it, admire it and marvel at its beauty, and then he can let it go.
Or he can pull the wings and the legs off of it, to see how it works...and all he will have left is a dead butterfly..and he still won't know how it works."
This is so true!
