Trik Richard Rain
dicopy dari edymagic.blogspot.com
Trik ini dilakukan Richard Rain saat acara hits (waktu aku posting ini acaranya masih berlangsung).Yakni Rain mengoleskan lipstik di punggung telapak tangan vokalis BONUS (lupa namanya hehe).Lalu ia menggosok2kan sampe ilang dan tiba2 coretan lipstiknya pindah di telapak tangannya.Ini rahasianya :
Pertama oleskan dulu lipstik di jari tengah tangan kanan kamu.Jangan sampe ada yang tau !!.Lalu suruh korban meluruskan tangannya secara tertutup (telapak menghadap ke bawah).Lalu berpura-puralah menurunkan tangannya (katakan Agak turun sedikit),nah saat Kamu nurunin tangannya , kamu pegang telapaknya dan oleskan lipstik yang ada di jari tengah kamu secara diam2.Lalu ambil lipstik dan oleskan di punggung telapak tangannya,lalu gosok sampe ilang dan berpura2lah memindahkan lipstiknya ke telapak tangannya.Udah. . .gampang kan?

Membengkokkan sendok dengan kekuatan pikiran
Dalam salah satu aksinya, pesulap Deddy Corbuzier memegang sebuah sendok di tangan. Sorot matanya tajam memandangi. Dalam hitungan detik, gagang sendok itu melengkung dengan sendirinya. Aneh sekali. Padahal ia tidak menggunakan jari-jarinya. Bagaimana itu bisa terjadi?
Membengkokkan sendok merupakan salah satu trik pesulap yang belakangan sering dimainkan. Selain, Deddy, David Copperfield atau Uri Geller juga sering melakukannya. Kemampuan itu tearnyata bisa dilakukan setiap orang. Bukan sihir, bukan tipuan. Berikut ini kami sajikan trik itu agar anda bisa membengkokkan sendok.
Ambil beberapa sendok dari dapur anda dan letakkan di atas meja. Kemudian gunakan feeling anda dan biarkan sendok itu berbicara kepada anda untuk menentukan sendok mana yang nanti anda pilih untuk dibengkokkan. Jika sudah dapat salah satu sendok, maka anda bisa segera memulai.
Pegang gagang sendok secara vertical dan tatap dengan seksama. Di dalam hati, perintahkan sendok itu agar membengkok dengan bahasa anda sendiri. Misalnya, “Hai sendok, bengkoklah sekarang!” Pada asat mengucapkan sugesti itu, anda harus yakin dan percaya diri.
Kemudian lakukan meditasi. Konsentrasikan pikiran dengan rilek. Tarik nafas dan hembuskan dengan teratur. Bayangkan nafas yang anda hirup adalah energi dari semesta alam dan ia menjadi sebuah bentuk bola emas di atas kepala anda. Buang nafas yang anda sugestikan sebagai energi engatif dan hirup udara segar ke dalam solar plexus anda.
Lakukan tehnik itu kira-kira 15 tarikan nafas sambil jari-jari anda memijat gagang sendok. Sugestikan terus bahwa anda telah memiliki energi yang cukup untuk membengkokkan sendok di tangan anda. Jangan terburu-buru, kumpulkan terus energi yang hirup dari nafas anda.
Dalam dua detik berikutnya, anda semakin meningkatkan tarikan nafas dan hembuskan kuat-kuat. Lakukan ini semakin cepat. Kemudian, cepat-cepat anda berpaling ke arah lain, misalnya memandangi jendela dalam hitungan satu detik. Tapi, anda tetap memijat gagang sendok. Sekali anda berteriak lebih cepat dan keras: bengkok! bengkok! bengkok!
Anggap saja sendok itu bagaikan sebuah karet yang lentur. Dan memang, sendok itu pelan-pelan membengkok seperti karet. Setelah dua atau tiga kali sendok itu melengkung, lepaskan ia di meja dan tunggu satu menit. Sendok itu berubah menjadi keras kembali, meski anda memijatnya kembali.
Rahasia tehnik ini adalah energi yang didapat dari pikiran. Energi itu hanya bisa didapat dari konsentrasi, sugesti dan keyakinan tinggi. Lain hari, jika anda berhasil membengkokkan sendok lagi, tertawalah dengan keras seperti seorang yang sombong. Anda berkata di dalam hati bahwa anda telah membengkokkan sendok berjuta-juta kali. Ini akan membuat anda semakin percaya diri hingga anda akan lebih mudah dan cepat membengkokkan sendok.
Tehnik ini diajarkan oleh Shannan D. Rohde, seorang pakar dalam penelitian paranormal. “Ini sama sekali bukan magik, ini murni kekuatan dari pikiran,”tegasnya. Menurutnya, energi yang digunakan untuk membengkokkan sendok itu juga bisa diterapkan dalam bidang lain. Misalnya saja, anda ingin mematahkan sebatang besi, tehnik pun bisa digunakan. Mungkin saja sugesti manteranya berbeda. Katakan saja pada diri anda, bahwa besi itu rapuh seperti kerupuk, sementara tangan anda beratnya berton-ton. Maka patahlah besi yang keras itu oleh sabetan tangan anda.
Jadi, mematahkan sendok itu tidak sulit kan?
