The single page website that I choose from http://onepagelove.com/ to explore was “The Secrets of Magic: Revealed.” This site focuses on several very popular illusions throughout the history of magic and exposes exactly how the performers deceive our eyes. I actually found the topic very interesting, the website hooked me and I learned all the magic secrets they had to offer.
The site has a great color scheme that encompasses the theme of the site well. Its use of dark backgrounds and bright titles gives an almost mysterious vibe. The use of a purple grid over top of short magician clips gives the site its texture and depth. As you scroll between the 6 Magician secret options the clip in the background changes to give a preview of the selected act. When one of the 6 options is selected the user is instructed to reveal the magic, opening up to a full video clip of the specific Magicians act and a synopsis of how the illusion is accomplished. The site also provides a brief biography of the Magicians that perform each act. There is not very much interaction necessary other then a few clicks between illusions and top to bottom scrolling, so the site is very easy to navigate.
The sites large fonts and easy to follow navigational instructions make for a very user friendly experience. Further, its use of video clips to show the trick to the viewer make the experience enjoyable as you are able to watch the clip then read how they accomplished it. The user is then tempted to rewatch the clip and try to catch where the magician creates the illusion. This site is very well designed in my opinion, because it grasps the user’s attention with its intriguing layout and then holds the user’s interest with interesting subject matter.
