How did chris angel make 100 people disappear?
Chris Angel made 100 people disappear in a dramatic illusion during his performance by using a combination of misdirection and stagecraft. He likely utilized hidden compartments, strategic lighting, and carefully choreographed movements to create the illusion that numerous individuals vanished simultaneously. Such illusions are designed to engage the audience's imagination and create a sense of wonder, typical of Angel's signature style.

How do magicians pull rabbits out of their hats and why is this so popular?
There is no particular reason for this trick being so popular it's just a classic.
1. Some professional magicians pull off the trick by using a combination of a trick top hat and specially rigged table, allowing them to simply reach through the hat into a compartment within the table below. Assuming you're not a big-budget pro, you will have to use more sleight-of-hand and deception as described below.
2.
When using a live rabbit, you will need to make sure it is either docile or well-trained, as you won't want it leaping out of its hiding place--or from the hat before it's the right time. A rabbit that can actually be coaxed to keep its eyes shut is another bonus.
3. Decide whether you want to keep the rabbit tucked into the hat during the presentation of the trick, or kept in a handy hiding spot--such as inside a roomy magician's suit or behind a table. If the rabbit will be inside the hat during the lead-in, you're best off having the audience at least several feet away if not more; if you plan to use sleight-of-hand to insert the rabbit at a key point, you'll be able to pass the hat around for 'inspection' before its appearance.
4.
When keeping the rabbit inside the hat, make sure to keep the hat slanted at an angle (to keep the rabbit from falling out) and make your showing of the hat (to show it is 'empty') a quick one--the rabbit should not be visible if it matches the color of the top hat's interior, particularly if its eyes are closed.
5.
If you're planning to insert the rabbit during the trick's presentation, it helps to have a distraction that will divert the audience's attention; this can be done by having them join in a magical chant with your lovely assistant, low-grade magical special-effects (such as a small explosion of sparks or smoke) or other means. You'll still need to be smooth and quick with your movement and you can also consider using an extra top hat (tucked behind a table or prop) with the rabbit already tucked away; that way you'll simply be switching hats rather than inserting the rabbit into a hat entailing less moving parts.
6. All that's left now is to utter some magic words, perhaps wave your magic wand a bit for dramatic effect, and pull the rabbit from the hat to the delight of the crowd!
no it can you have to help make them come true.

Is Matthew j dowden the magician famous?
No.he is a semi proffesional conjurer from newcastle upon tyne. he performs with an american twang in his voice which he struggles to shake of due to the influence of other more established and FAMOUS magicians.M.J.D possesses a high standard of sleight of hand which is matched only by his egotistical swagger and recycled comedic misdirection,all rolled together with over the top cheesy delivery. M.J.D has risen in the magical ranks at a brisk pace, he became a conjurer at a late time in his life due to his previous love of all things lawful, which ironically is the opposite of all things magical in which it is to deny the law(interesting).However,M.J.D is still reasonably young and given time might one day hit the big time,until then he should work on being more original with his image and approach and the general mystique which makes all of the many great magicians so appealing.

There are no magic powers but there is much beauty and wonder in the world.
How can a muggle become a wizard?
They can't. Muggles have no magical blood and therefore cannot do magic. However, squibs can sometimes learn magic from special courses so perhaps this would work with muggles. Although ,no indication has ever been made that muggles can become magical other than through birth i.e. just being born magical. However, there is the situation albeit rare where magical abilities may for some reason stay dormant through adulthood. When these abilities surface it may seem to everyone involved that the impossible happened, a muggle became a witch/wizard!
Can you make a wish come true with a candle?
No. I imagine you have blown out birthday candles and made a wish. Did it come true? I have been blowing out birthday candles for many years and not one has come true. If wishes came true with something so simple all of us everyday would be blowing out candles . Wishes come true through our efforts and work in life. They are called goals. If you want good grades you can get them by working for them. If you want to take a trip you can do it by saving for the trip. Everything in life takes effort on the part of the person who wants it or lives it. It is the things we do that decides what happens to us. We decide our fate, dreams, and wishes.
