Description

"The magician snaps his fingers and a coin disappears; places a dove in a cage, claps his hands and the bird vanishes, including the cage, stuffs a silk into his fist and opens his hands revealing nothing, or waves a magic wand and the Statue of Liberty magically "goes away". A vanish, being the reverse of a production, may use a similar technique, in reverse."

okay, I am magician. (albiet, one that is still learning, but what good magician ISN'T still learning?)

I love this shot for two reasons:
one, the subtle use of texture to insinuate something else is going on behind the hand. Particularly around the thumb, (which is the easiest place to conceal a coin btw.)

two, the grainy look of it, creating an atmosphere of doubt. as an audience member, it feels as though I'm in a fog, and that is exactly where I as a magician want them to be. :)

Definitely a Fav. Great Shot!
