    I love seeing how "magicians" fool us with misdirection and things that we don't see.

    Here's a good example:

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        But don’t people in the audience see the “assistant”. Yes he is hidden to the panel but everyone should be able to see him pass the envelope.

          No aspect of that trick requires any talent on the part of the magician.

          Education is extremely important.

              That was my thought as well. With Coppefield and his ilk, there are all kinds of "assistants" that do that shit as well.
