The techniques used are a combination of:
* Sleight of hand: This involves using dexterity and misdirection to manipulate objects or create the appearance of something happening that isn't.
* Stagecraft: This involves using lighting, props, set design, and other stage elements to create illusions and manipulate the audience's perception.
* Psychological manipulation: This involves using techniques like suggestion, distraction, and misdirection to influence the audience's thoughts and beliefs.
Therefore, while the effects in "Show Me" are impressive and seemingly impossible, they are not based on real magic. They are all carefully planned and executed illusions meant to entertain and amaze.
