Week 4: SAI BABA (post 1)

This video footage is pretty interesting because of how he is transferring items into his right hand. I believe that he is obvious in how he is transferring these items into his other hand. Even when he is walking he is exerting confidence and by that people are paying close attention to his face and his expressions rather than what he is doing, so when he finally does do something incredible, they probably didn't even see it coming when it was happening all along right in front of their faces. These type of tricks are all interesting but not magical or miraculous. Everything is a figment of their imaginations. Magic is all left to ones own interpretations and how they see things.

I noticed that if these people would have just paid more attention to his hands and what he was doing instead of keeping their eyes on his face, they would have seen more happen and unfold his tricks. There is always a secret behind what people like him are doing, but of course they will never tell anyone how they did it, that is what makes it magic. I like looking at these types of videos but you have to look at them closely because all of it happens so quickly and of course they try and redirect your attention so they can do what they have to do.
