Again, other comments questioned the product of the trick invention feature. They questioned the value of the tricks so developed. They asked if tricks thus conceived would have that mark of greatness that is revealed by the classics.
First, I quarrel with the idea that any trick in itself is great. In my belief, tricks are only great
because of greatness given them through great performances. I feel that these tricks we term "classics" have become so through the life breathed into them by those who have performed them.
The best answer to any contrary claim would be to cite that any of our classics become downright
dismal when poorly presented.
Let's look at these classics to see what life they possess:
A number of rings, apparently solid, become linked and unlinked. That is the trick plot of The
Linking Rings.
A small wooden ball appears. Then there are two, three and finally, four. They disappear one by
one. Such is the trick plot of The Multiplying Billiard Balls.
An egg, placed in a small cloth bag, disappears. Finally, it is found to be in the bag again. You, of course, recognize the trick plot of The Egg Bag.
Two packets of fifteen cards each are counted out. They are placed in different locations. Threecards leave one packet and mysteriously travel to the other. The trick plot of The Thirty Card Trick has been told completely.
A number of small balls mysteriously appear under any of three cups. Then they variously appear
and disappear under various cups.
Be frank with yourself. Can you find the essential spark of life in any of those trick plots? Can
you find that ingredient which caused them to become classics?
I think not. Frankly, I don't think the vital ingredients are there. I don't think you will find life in
any trick plot. That's why I feel that the trick plots evolved through THE TRICK BRAIN may be equal or
superior to those tricks we have chosen as classics.
Well, where is this life?
