Along those same lines you want a little mindfreak? Check out this video of real-life Illusionist, Criss Angel:
Freaky, right? I *love* unexpected twists and turns or unexplainable events. We saw David Copperfield one time and with my own eyes I saw that guy do things that were incredible and impossible! Even though you know it's only an illusion - you BELIEVE.
That's what really hooks me on movies or books: characters or events that are multi-layered and complex. I love plots where you're not sure whether to trust a character - or better yet - you're totally surprised to discover that the character is more than what they initially appear to be.
That's my favorite kind of read and what I strive for in my own writing.
What elements do you like best in a book or movie?
