Magicians have a long-held code that no magician will ever reveal how to perform a trick or illusion. These magicians guard this oath at all costs. During the last 10-15 years, magicians have been breaking that code of silence. That makes old-time magicians very upset. They are worried about new magic tricks secrets revealed and how that will impact their careers. Are they justified in their concerns? Let us see.

Harry Houdini had no illusions that his tricks were just that, tricks. He did not believe he had supernatural powers. He was a showman and he knew it. Spiritualism was a huge draw for many people who lived during Houdini’s time. Houdini did not believe any of it. He knew that these spiritualists were just doing trickery, and that their claims of supernatural power were totally false. Houdini made it his business to expose the fraud being perpetrated on people desperate to contact deceased loved ones and were willing to pay any price to do that.

In most cases, when a person thinks of airsoft guns, children are the first consumer that comes to mind. These types of guns can be fun, and at the same time teach kids how to use a real gun in a safe way. These products should be treated as a real weapon, then there is a minimum safety concern while a child is using the gun.

These guns are available in most department stores, and vary in size and cost. Those cheaper versions usually average about twenty dollars for just the gun, and sometimes there is a small amount of ammunition included in the package. There are pistols as well as rifle replicas available.

The most common injury resulting from a pellet gun or bb gun, happens when a child shoots into a hard surface such as a rock, causing the ammunition to ricochet. Ricochets are the most common cause of injury. Sometimes ricochets are impossible to predict, and goggles should be worn by any child operating an air soft gun.

Remember your BB gun? Well, now instead of a steel ball bearing, imagine a plastic one. Then, instead of the primitive lever-operated or pull-back spring system, substitute an electric motor with gears: Airsoft guns.

Manufacturers realised that there was a demand for realistic-looking weapons that could actually be used for sport and military games. From there, they started to evolve, and a sport called Airsoft involving the guns spread throughout the world. Since 2001, it’s the fastest growing outdoor sport.

There were many manufactures making hundreds of different sizes and systems. Since then, the BB calibre has been standardised to 6mm or 8mm. Also, the Airsoft gun system for shooting these pellets has evolved from a simple hand-cocked spring to the most common method (for larger guns): an electrically-operated motor that drives gears to automatically cock, pull back the spring bolt, and release the bolt to shoot the BB. The automatic firing mechanism is now called the AEG - Automatic Electric Gun.

The Nerf Raider CS 35 is the latest (and greatest ?) blaster gun to arrive from the NERF factories.
