WWW Links
We can only post so much. If you find links to other good sites which
share secrets then post them here. Please try and keep it to magic
sites but if one or two add their homepages etc it won't be too bad.
Or you can use the off topic forum for links.

Traditional and Professional Magic Philosophy
Secrets of Magic forum takes a liberal view that by sharing we can
develop magic and encourage new ideas and new converts. Not everyone
thinks like this. Some people prefer a more secretive approach. If you
decide that's for you, you'll find information here. Read about SAM,
the IBM, the Magic Circle and other organizations.

Magic on a budget
One of the ideas of Secrets of Magic is to help people who are keen
magicians but who haven't got huge amounts of money realize their
dreams and improve their magic. In this forum you should post ideas
for making items at home which would cost you big bucks at the store.
As elsewhere, discussion of the method is allowed so that the props
can be made.

Magic Video and File Sharing Forum
Here you can share copies of your own performances here or others you
have seen. This is not where you ask How is it done? You can post a
video of the normal performance and follow up with one showing how you
do the effect.

Illustrated Magic
Also known as Nuts Corner dedicated to Nuts4Magic, this is where we
will bring together some of the best effects which will generally be
illustrated with videos, photos, drawings, or very detailed
description. We may also link to other public domain videos on the web
to save you the time searching for good illustrated effects. All types
of magic may be found here, but the emphasis will be on good
illustration of the effects. Since we are performing some quality
control on the material, only mods can post topics, but you can PM a
mod if you have something which should be included or reply in the
video thread.

Guess how it's done
In this board you can present effects by videos or photographs or even
descriptions, and you invite other board members to offer their
thoughts on the methods. You can give them clues or not. The effect
could be your own idea or something you have discovered on the net or
elsewhere. Don't post common effects that we have already given the
explanations for. These topics will be removed.

Demonstration/Show off Forum
Do you want simply to post a video without revealing the method? Magic
is primarily for entertainment. Of course, your effect may be examined
by board members, and reviewed, or solutions may be put forward. But
you may remain tight lipped if you choose. No reason to feel compelled
to reveal like other places on the board. Especially if it is your pet
invention, that you don't feel like tipping at the moment. No holds
are barred on discussion though. If the secret does happen to come
out, that's life!

So how is that done?
On some magic sites, you can't ask how tricks are done, but here we
can engage in discussion on methods. To view this board and the ones
below you will need to register. By registering, you agree you are a
magician or a serious magic student. Remember there's a lot more to
magic than just the secret. We should discuss presentational aspects
as well in this forum so we can really LEARN from them to improve our
own magic. If you don't know how something is done, post here. If you
do know and would like to share your methods, post in the category
forums below.
