The most common and effective method of magical production for magic tricks is by misdirection. The magician tries to produce an object; he then pretends that the object has appeared. When the audiences' attentions are directed away, the magician secretly brings out the object to be produced. The other way is to load the object while the magician is taking away another object. An example is the classic multiple cigar production effect.
One cigar is produced and placed in the opposite hand. But while the right is placing it in the left, the left hand is loading another, unseen, into the right. There are probably nine hundred and seventy-five thousand ways this principle of secretly loading while attention is elsewhere might be disguised, cloaked, counterfeited or otherwise camouflaged.
The method can be used to produce many many different objects like cards, coins, pens, glasses, CD, rings or anything you can think of. You can try it out. Do experiments. Use different objects to apply the principle and produce a trick of your own.
The next most common way to produce an object is to use speed. The magician brings out something so fast that spectators' eyes are fooled and thinks that an object has been produced. It is said that the hand is quicker than the eye, but in fact that is impossible. Some sort of help is used to achieve high speed like that.
Many kinds of mechanical devices have been used by magicians to provide the thrust they need. The most common types are pulling thread, elastic pull and the spring pull. These are convenient tools which are silent and compact. Other larger illusions can use the help of electric motor, counterweight or even steam engine. As long as the device can provide the suitable amount of force and speed that enable the object to appear at lightning speed, magicians are happy to try them out.
Usually a thread is used to pull out the object. An perfect illustration would be the appearing handkerchief effect. The handkerchief is tied by a thread that runs from the neck of a bottle to the inside and through a hole at the side to an assistant or a machine. The bottle is put on a table and the handkerchief is hidden inside a secret pocket in the table. The assistant or the machine then pulls the string at the appropriate moment extremely quickly to produce the handkerchief inside the bottle or container. - 31879
