Quicksilver Matches
Effect: Taking two matches from different matchbooks (one black, one brown), you cause them to visibly switch places...right under their eyes. It's demonic; it's the Quicksilver Matches.
Method: Both matches have one light side, and one dark side (kind of like jedis). Two matchbooks are prepared so that one shows the dark side, and the other shows the light side. Remove a match from both books keeping the different sides facing up. Hold the matches by the head, and when you turn the matches over to show the backs, roll your thumb to flip the matches over. Essentially, you're showing the same side twice, but it looks like both sides are being shown. After showing "both" sides, quickly execute this "pop move" to turn both matches over, showing each match's opposite color. It looks exactly like the matches have instantly changed places

Episode 20 - Quicksilver Matches [Discussion]
It's Magic 101. Can you mimic the master?
Watch or download the episode here.
Pretty much.
There's no way they would have thought that, since I clearly showed both sides of the matches. Unfortunately, the camera didn't catch that part well enough (it's zoomed in too tight). :-/
I'll throw a little youtube video of a close up of the "proving" part. Might give you a better perspective on how the audience saw it.
I'm sure if he had not done that, I might not have noticed right away.
good trick tho
-MayheM
close up view
This is the close-up view that the audience sees, which should eliminate any chance in their mind that there's 2 colors per match (sorry for the crap quality... got it out as quickly as I could):[YOUTUBE]IEUeEtWEM7Y[/YOUTUBE]
Poolsidepong.com interesting sponsor...if only I had a pool
Nice konami code reference (nerds Unite)!!!
Chimay and Blue moon on tap....decent selection score 1 point for the bar
Paper towels and a 9v battery....nice teaser.
And buying a poosidepong table will get me the models and the infinity pool right???
Great episode, need to start working on it.
Oh yea, bonus points for the Contra reference. :D
He would show you the non barcode side, flip his hand up to show you the "back" then pass it through his hand to be "barcoded." Kinda cool visual and Brian's right, you don't catch it when you are face to face. Plus, its a great one-time trick. The more you do it, the more likely they figure it out.
Something you might want to consider Brian is an insert of what the visual looks like POV during the show. It might help seal the illusion.
