Courtesy of Penn & Teller on stage in Vegas at the Rio. There are seven basic moves in magic, and Penn & Teller show them all off here…

1. Palm – Hold an object in an apparently empty hand.
2. Ditch – Dispose of an unneeded object.
3. Steal – Obtain a needed object with steath.
4. Load – Move an object to a desired location.
5. Simulation – Create the appearance of an action that is false.
6. Misdirection – Send attention to a place other than where the action is.
7. Switch – Exchange objects.

And that’s all there is to it…yeah, right. Guess we can all be magicians now.
