Most people hate and fear Osama Bin Laden. He is accused of being a mass murderer and an enemy of free people. That being said, the man is an amazing magician. He is undeniably, the most talented of all of the illusionists of today and for that matter, any day. Don't believe me? Read on. I think afterwards, you will agree that his slight of hand, his mind control performances and his 'supernatural' theatrics are second to none.
Bin Laden is a known recluse and his video and audio appearances have been few and far between. This adds to the mystique. I guess in all honesty, there is a lot of pressure on his shoulders to top the 9/11 performance. And what a performance it was. Clearly, it was a masterpiece. Let's revisit the 9/11' piece' and dissect it for the myriad of smaller illusions that became the master illusion and solidified Osama Bin Laden's name into the annals of magic. Everything that follows is fact and can be verified, except for my assertion that Bin Laden is the best illusionist of all time. That is just my opinion.
Let's talk about the little stuff first. His assistants were able to board 4 different planes without being caught on security cameras and without appearing on any of the passenger lists. None of his assistants had the ability to fly a jet airliner. Most were already working with the CIA and yet they agreed to the stunt. And finally, none of their bodies or DNA has ever been found. From Afghanistan, Bin Laden was able to fool the cameras and four ticket agents, pilot planes precisely into targets and then make his assistants disappear without a trace. This is gold, but the show was just beginning.

Are you impressed yet? Well, this is all just been the set up for the big finish. Not satisfied with the simple display of accuracy and the 'Keystone Cop' confusion caused by his trans-Atlantic Jedi mind tricks, Bin Laden went for the inexplicable and the supernatural monster finale. Bin Laden was able to make not one, not two, but three buildings collapse into dust as if they were destroyed by carefully placed, incendiary devices. By not supplying an energy source for the free fall speed disintegrations of three skyscrapers, Osama Bin Laden literally suspended the laws of physics right before our eyes! Keep in mind that only two of the buildings were hit by planes. The third fell as an encore. There was some damage to a corner and 2 fires, but it pretty much looked like an intact, 47 story building that crimped and fell in six seconds. All that remained of three skyscrapers was severed steel, dust, flying paper and molten metal fires that burned at over 2000 degrees for two more months in the three sub floors. W'Allah! End of show. Or, was it?
