About six months ago a buddy tagged me in a social media post that Circuit of the Americas was looking for very specific years and models of old convertible American muscle cars to chauffeur Formula drivers in their parade just before the F1 race. In fact, the very first line said 1969 Chevy Camaro. So I put together an album of my favorite photos t...

    So, if you are blind, how do you know if you do the trick right when you were practicing all those years? There must have been someone else telling you if you got it right. Who is this person that sat beside you to tell you if you got it right while you were learning?

      @bryanfidelman3846 2 місяці тому

      While I don’t want to speak for Richard turner but as a fellow magician who also practices card tricks, a lot of the time you are practicing a sleight or a sort of manipulation needed for a trick to work in its presentation infront of a group by yourself. And you usually don’t need sight for those especially in turners case where he can use context clues to figure out if he dropped a card, flipped a card the wrong way etc.

    • @mikethelucky13

      Hi! As a magician over 15 years I can tell you I can train without look to my hands and I know if I'm right. But I understand on the beginning must be harder but if you are persistent and perfectionist you get it.

    But this has nothing to do with sticking to logic. Even the mysterious and mystical if understood turns out to be logical. Example: Richard turner a card mechanic, probably the greatest card mechanic ever. He is blind and he wasnt always blind but he gradually became completely blind. Go look him up and see how he can actually feel all the cards, he can even tell you how many cards there are in a stack of cards simply with the touch of his fingers. Now when you see him do it, you think its just a trick, then you realize he is completely blind, and then he explains how he can count the cards by touching the sids with his fingertips. It makes no sense to be able to do something like this with just your finger tips and be able to perform all sorts of tricks in this way that nobody else can who is blind, and hardly anyone else can without being blind. But here one fact people don't apply to their thought when thinking of how that makes no sense, your fingertip alone has 3000 touch receptors and yes him being blind helped him heighten his other senses and thats why he was able to do it. So suddenly when you realize that your finger tip has so many receptors it becomes more cleqr as to how he can actually do these things. And it all becomes logical while it was so mysterious, so the problem is not logic. And i dont think that this statement about logic becoming like a knife that is all blade. The forefathers of logic the Greek philosophers of antiquity they had a lot of mysterious involved, in fact they are the first and as far as i can tell the only ones who ever combined logic and religion and thus dwelling into the mysterious. How did Pythagoras knew of the sound of the planets? Everyone though he was insane when they were reading about these claims and yet today we know that our planets in the solar system have sound they emmit and thus producing the pythagorian "music of the spheres". Another one mysterious philosopher was Democritus, about 2.500 years ago he claimed that everyis made out of atoms which are invisible to the naked eye and the word atom, or atomo/άτομο in greek means "indivisible" and atoms are indeed indivisible. And their most important aspect of life was logic, for all ancient greek philosophers logic is very important and they did everything by applying their logic to things first. But logic is not the same for two people with different knowledge or different level of knowledge. This is my view on it and everyone can say all they want about logic, im just sharing my view point on how this statement is not really that smart and should be avoided, for most people will interpret it as "you should let your feeling in instead of sticking to logic" im sorry by science is all about logic and logical explanations, when we dont understand something it doesnt make sense with our current logic, but once its understood it becomes logical, so why should we not stick to logic? Perhaps someone can give a good example of not sticking to logic and intrigue me and others with it.
