Question:

What are some fun magic tricks to do with a video camera?

Things you could do while stopping and starting the camera.

Thanks

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Not too sure what you mean by this one. Are you referring to "video tricks," like making something appear or disappear on the video itself? -Or do you mean using the camera as a prop for a stage trick? That'd make a big difference. If it's to be used as a stage magic prop, then there's a good chance of its being altered for magic use. For example, you could rip out the insides and put a spring snake in it (old, old one, I know!) or maybe fit a butane lighter into it so when you "shoot a picture" it blows fire instead. And you'd be surprised how many silks and sponge balls a gutted camera can hold! It's been awhile since I performed, but I do believe there's some books that give tips on using things like that in magic tricks. Ask at your magic dealer, or search the online magic shops.
