The Disappearing Reappearing Candy Bar


As a magician, I feel it is my responsibility to preserve magic by keeping the secret. However, once in a while, I discover a sweet little gem I don't mind sharing with the general public. My friend "The Amazing Richie" has business cards with this great little optical illusion printed on the front. It is awesome...at the same time, it is incredibly simple. I took the same illusion, blew it up...photo copied it...and by now, you have probably seen me performing it on you tube.






Here, I am revealing the secret of the illusion. The secret is...THERE IS NO SECRET! Just copy the drawing in the photo with your favorite drawing program. Once the drawing is complete, print out a copy. Now slide your fingers along the drawing. That's it.






When you hide one end of the drawing, one of the candy bars will disappear. If you hide the opposite end of the drawing, the candy bar will reappear. All you have to do is copy the drawing on this post, and you should be able to do this little miracle with no problem. Have fun.
