When it comes to performing a trick –- and especially a magic trick –- here's the rub: you cannot tell ANYONE the secret behind the trick. Not a soul. Once you figure out a trick or invent a trick of your own, you must shut your word hole and take that secret to the grave with you. That is how great tricks become legendary. Everyone knows how the magician saws the woman in half. That trick is on several dozen websites now. So the great tricks are the ones nobody tells anyone.

Most magic tricks are born out of sheer crushing boredom. Someone is sitting around with time on their hands and comes up with a secret way to do something. That's the easy part. The hard part is not telling your best friend, your brother, or your mom how you did it. It MUST be kept a secret!

So whether you are doing something as simple as changing the color of the handkerchief hidden in your hand or if you are performing a stunt that is illegal in 48 states and some parts of Alaska, you must never, ever tell anyone how it's done.
