What site can you go to learn magic?
If you mean the sort of magic that stage magicians perform, then you may find the following links useful.
If however you mean Magick as opposed to magic, this is not something that can be learned from a website or from a book. Rather it is an ongoing process of learning and doing. There are many good books which will give you an introduction to the subject, and you can find them on your local bookstore's "Paganism/ New Age/ Spirituality" shelves.
You will need to have two people to do this
Step one: ask the person who is calling out to Bloody Mary to close their eyes and relax
Step two: ask them two count down from the number you say (start with ten) then stomp when their done
Step three: once they have done that step snap four times in their ears then cross their hands back and forth five times
Step four: repeat step 1-3 nine times, but on step one decrease the number by one each time ( 10 the first time 9 the next, then 8 etc) do this until you get to one
Step five: tell them to repeat after you and say "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, raise my hands and play with me"
Their hands should lift, if it does not work try increasing the amount of times you cross you partners arms. This is just a trick, it simulates the muscles moving so your arms raise, but throw in a comment about dark magic to scare your friends!
Roltair"s Illusion is or was(it was banned from Church Carnivals in l968) a rather morbid illusion act performed on stage. a Very attractive Girl is displayed lying in a coffin in formal evening gown, usually the magic proceed lights go down, music, et, and when the scene changes the casket is opened-the girl is vanished and the box is full of flowers and bouquets, then the lid is closed again, the magic patter repeated, and this time the girl returns alive and unharmed-smoke generators and ultra violet strobe lights were used in the transformation sequence. named after the frenc Magician Henri Roltair who died in the teens. It was seen as an obvious parody on the Assumption hence the ban in the archdiocese of Newark!

How do you do slydini silk knot trick?
The Slydini Silk Knot trick involves creating the illusion of tying a knot in a silk handkerchief without any visible movement. To perform it, hold a silk in each hand and create a loop with one silk while the other passes through it, maintaining control of the silks. As you pull them tight, subtly manipulate the silks to give the appearance of a knot forming. Practice is essential to ensure smoothness and misdirection, making the trick seamless for your audience.

Is it true that magician Martin Taylor's act is a load of rubbish?
Martin Taylor is a 'hypnotist' not a clown or magician but his act is indeed rubbish.
Martin Taylor and all that hypnotist stuff yeah? I saw his act and thought he was really up himself and deeply annoying.
I also saw Martin Taylor a while back and found his clown act shallow and silly (rather than amusing or entertaining or enlightening). The audience were laughing at him but he seemed to think he was hoodwinking us. It was a depressing mix of boring, silly and arrogant but that's just my opinion.
Martin Taylor is a hypnotist and a clown working in London. I have only seen a clip of him on youtube and I thought there was a tendency towards smarmy patter and he came across as distinctly oily. There may be another Martin Taylor who is a magician but I think this must be the man you are asking about so you can check him out on youtube before you waste your money.
A friend met him after another show and said he is so affected that he wears a monocle!! I think that's all you need to know about this person before you make an informed choice about whether or not to see him do his thing.
What would you do if you found a magic wand?
Well technically, magic wands don't exist so I doubt you will ever find one!
Another point of view;
Actually magic wands DO exist. Feel free to believe me or not. Wands are still used by some wizards. It is usually used in most spells and some rituals. It is usually made of oak and usually quartz at the tip. Anyway, I would probably do spells that needs a wand if I find one. Trough there is an old saying "Does who look for a magic wand fails to see that THEY ARE the magic wand "
"Kumquat" and "cumquat" are both equally correct.
"Cumquat" is the British spelling and tends to be used in the UK and Australia.
Criss angle/peter Criss lives in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania and that is all i can say.
Voodoo spells are spells that are done by a practitioner of the Vodun faith.

i want to use lunar magic but i have no idea how!!!!!!
Magic comes from within thyself...It flows in and out of all living things..You just have to have the strong will power to call it
I would think of it more like a form of energy, techniques like visualization ask you to see it inside yourself, and rather than force it, simply watch it happen. It's a strong form of energy that flows freely, inside and out. It's always there, indestructible, and called by many things. Some even argue it's what created the world if you're willing to go that far. Now, if it helps you, my teacher told me to think of it best as the Force from Star Wars. Though it's affect is much less visible with the physical eyes.
In other words, use a magic book
What rituals use black coins or nickels?
In a sense a ritual practice, coins are used by nurses and/or undertakers to close the eyes of people who have recently died. In Europe there is or was considerable ritual, for example with the Italian royalty a black cloth thing similar to a blindfold was used in tandem with two gold pieces- thus the Eyes of Queen Margherita were closed up- by either family members or nursing sisters ( nuns). obviously the types of coins vary as to the importance of the person involved. these are conserved as family relics and are not buried with the deceased. As thiis is connected with dead bodies- there is a loose paralell to Voodoo and related practices. Mercury dimes were popular for this task as they are small and easily concealed- and Mercury was the messenger of the Gods!
How do you cast a mind control spell?
There may be such spells out there somewhere. I have never encountered any to date and I have been studying for decades.
What I feel should be pointed out at this time is that NO responsible or ethical practitioner of magic would teach such spells to you. It is not the habit of those of us who work with magic to undertake ANYTHING that would be detrimental to another. Addendum: There are some who feel that if it can be PROVEN to be less harmful than not interfering, that it is still ethical. However, it is an extremely delicate issue.
Spells to freeze water with your hand?
No, there are no spells to do such a thing.
However, it is possible to create the illusion of instantly freezing water at a touch using a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate.
Are Bicycle playing cards the best for magic?
No. You need a deck purchased from a magic shop. Real Bycicle cards are not marked.
Ignore that guy.
Bicycle cards are most likely the best for card flourishes and most tricks. They are easy to mark without arousing suspicion, and usually have the famous UV-500 AirFlow finish. This provides maximum performance in flourishes such as the cascade, ribbon spread and thumb fan.
You will find non-bicycle cards are great for fanning too. BUT, they are ruined fast, they start to stick, crimp etc.
Bicycle lasts very long! Especially when you buy the master edition. it lasts 7 times longer than the original bicycle and more than 20 times longer than ordinary cards.
Yeah I have a bicycle stripper deck and that's good for tricks like finding the persons card but regular bicycle cards are good for other tricks like looking for a key card depends on the trick.
