I always figure out how the trick works because I don't get fooled by misdirection and such and think very logically...the only magician that consistently tricks me is Criss Angel, and he's long stopped doing street magic. Amazing Jonathon does a good job as well. Typical magic tricks though just don't work for me, does anyone else always just subconsciously figure it out as it is happening?

No, and I often feel like a dope because I'm suckered in so easily.

I don't believe in magic & am not surprised by anything magicians can do but I don't know much at all about magic or magicians & I don't know or really care or pay attention to how tricks are done.

I don't believe in magic. However I do love to see really awesome "magic tricks". Because everybody knows they are not real, and it is fun to try and figure out how they did it

I always like to figure out how there done, but I just like watching them anyway, no matter where your from everyone seems to love magic tricks.

I always thought the entertaining part was supposed to be figuring out how they do it :lol:

I once read a book on magic tricks, because I was obsessed with magic at one time. That's the reason that they don't work on me anymore.

No, I always end up being all confused. I still can't work out how this magic trick is performed, and I would LOVE to know!
