"This magic may have several sources. Some tricks require technical gimmicks. Special shuffling methods, holding cards with your thumb, hiding them very quickly. This requires dexterity and weeks of practice, but the effect is mind-blowing – you have the impression that something miraculous is happening before your very eyes", explains Mateusz Wójcik. "Other tricks are based on psychology. The magician is able to “control” the spectators by skillfully diverting their attention or distracting them. By doing so, the magician may assume that the spectator will make a specific move, choose a specific card, etc."
