Hey guys,

For all those who have seen Component 5 - Holy Grail of Pickup of "Mysterys Magnum Opus - The Mind of Mystery".

Anyone knows how the straw trick works he performed on this girl at this white-dress party?! Where he managed to spin the straw out of her glass without touching it? That looked quite amazing

Where do you get this video?

if what ur talkin about is what im thinkin about, then its a simple trick, u balance the straw on the edge of the glass and what not, when its perfectly balanced all u have to do is push ur hand and create a bit of wind or something and itll spin or fall off, all you have to do is balance it properlly..

oo and u gotta hype it up and sell the technique, fake concentration, mayb a mistake on purpose..etc.etc

hope that helps?

Run the straw through your clothes when no one is looking. This static charges the straw. Then the straw will follow your finger.

Mystery uses the so-called invisible thread. Magician use this often when they let small things 'levitate'. He attaches the thread around his wrist and pulls on the thread with its other hand (or just one finger of his other hand). He brings the thread behind the straw and then pulls till the straw falls out of the glass.

You can buy this thread online or in some magic store. A few km's costs 3 dollars or something like that. It is usually made of elastic high-strength fibers (Kevlar, but also simple nylon is often used). The trick that he does seems very easy, but handling this very fine thread by the inexperienced user is a pain in the ass. Also, it will break easily when you load it too much due to its very small diameter. So, don't expect to perform this trick that easy as seen on the video. Mystery is a magician but you will have to practice doing this trick first.

This thread is in bars and cafes absolutely invisible. You can hold it 5 cm in front of your eyes and you will not see it. The fact that it is so small makes it also difficult to handle.
