Listen to this testimony:

Quite a few years ago as an amateur magician, I had a number of 'ringer' tricks. These were my very best illusions which which were thrown in with a dozen normal ones I did. They were the ones that left a spectator with their mouth wide open in amazement and having NO idea how it was done.
I was also accused several times of using REAL magic when performing these ringer tricks because they crossed the comfort zone of what some people thought of as "ok, I don't know how this was done but it could be a trick" to "ok, what I just saw was impossible!".
Lance Burton, the well known Las Vegas magician, doesn't simply pull a rabbit out of a hat. Rather he produced 3 or 4 ducks and a couple of geese from his body in the middle of the stage. I don't know how he did it. I just let myself sit back and enjoy the artistry of it all.
