At the MAES magic convention last week, magician Bill Cook wowed the crowd with his Dancing Handkerchief performance. For an effect like this, it’s natural, of course, for an audience to have theories as to how the effect has been achieved. But in Cook’s cleverly constructed routine, he demolishes those theories one by one, albeit in a very gentlemanly way, until no possible explanation remains.
