I have posted some time ago about this burger trick performed by Japanese best magician, Cyril Takayama. So, here is the secret behind this trick.
It would be better if you watch the original trick performed by Cyril first before jumping&#160;into this explanation.
Explanation

Well, if you think logically you will get it somehow.
Enjoy!

<p>Well, great trick indeed but as far as I can say, the orange was prepped before hand (common sense). As for the rest of the trick, it involves sleight of hand and misdirection (Criss is an expert for such executions).</p>

<p>Cyril has done it again with his trademark magic tricks. This time around, at the Metal Gear Solid 4 launch in downtown Tokyo.</p>
<p>He performed two of his trademark tricks which are &ldquo;custom&rdquo; card through glass and object pulling out from a surface.</p>
<p>This time the card through glass is actually through a LCD screen. We have seen before he executed similar trick&nbsp;on aquarium glass.</p>
<p>In another trick, he pulls a head band out from a game character through the LCD screen and later restore it.</p>
<p>As a whole, it&rsquo;s great to watch! <strong>AMAZING!</strong></p>

Take a thin rope and makes a loop, simulating an &#8220;eye of a needle&#8221;. Now, you need to thread the end of the rope through the eye&#8230; which is impossible because the &#8220;eye&#8221; is just too small but BAM! [...]]]></description>

I love this little trick. It is so easy to do and yet is a stunner!</p>
<h2>The Effect</h2>
<p>Take a thin rope and makes a loop, simulating an &#8220;eye of a needle&#8221;. Now, you need to thread the end of the rope through the eye&#8230; which is impossible because the &#8220;eye&#8221; is just too small but BAM! The rope is instantly threaded through the loop!</p>
<h2>Explanation</h2>
<p>Watch the video tutorial below:</p>

<p>You slowly mix the dominos up… real slow!</p>
<p>Now, no matter how their eyes catch your &#8220;one&#8221;, they will never, ever get it right! You will always win – you can bet your life!</p>
<h2>The Video</h2>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c6VetShMQiw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c6VetShMQiw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></embed></object></p>
<h2>What You Need</h2>
<p>Well, if you think the dominos really can magically switch place, think again. You will need to have the gimmicked dominos.</p>
<p>If you are interested, you can buy it at <a href="http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=865" target="_blank">Penguin Magic</a>.</p>
