    The customary element in such illusions is the context.

    For something to be amazing it must defy ordinary expectations in some way.

    A microwave oven or flashlight would be a miracle to 18th century people. They had no technology to explain such ordinary (to us) inventions.

    I have three possible guesses.

    1. What we (the TV viewer) is seeing is the result of effects staged for TV which the audience did not see. This isn't likely in this instance since there is a jury involved. (Other magicians on their TV specials tell us there is no trick photography involved and we find out later it is all a lie for ratings.)

    2.A new kind of fabric is involved which changes color with the aid of L.E.D.'s I've recently read of such a fabric which can change colors and patterns instantly.

    3.Slight alterations which can be quickly made (adding a cuff or collar or belt) combined with L.E.D. fabric produces the overall effect.

    I assure you that the actual secret will be so mundane you will be disappointed when it is revealed. It is quite a wonderful feeling to experience this sort of illusion in everyday life, don't you agree?

    We crave the extraordinary to take us away from all this. At least I do!
