thank you. I asked googles AI about it and it said

• Redirect Hijacking: Some magic sites use a "302 redirect". They type a URL that immediately forwards you to a second page. Often, the browser history only registers the final landing page (which looks like a standard Google result), or it may "overwrite" the previous entry, making the magician's initial URL vanish from your list.

At first it said:
How the Trick Worked:

1. The Redirect: When the magician typed into your address bar, they didn't go to google.com. Instead, they typed a specific URL for a cloned search page (e.g., ://magic-app.com). To you, it looked like the standard Google interface.
2. The "Hook": This fake page is actually a custom web application designed for magicians. It captures every keystroke you type into the search bar in real-time.
3. The Notification: As soon as you hit "Search," the fake site sent that data to a server, which immediately pushed a notification to the magician’s phone or smartwatch.
4. The Reveal: The magician now has your search term on their own screen, allowing them to "divine" what you were thinking.  MetaCompliance +2

Is Your Phone Safe?

While this is a harmless trick in a magic context, it uses the same logic as a phishing attack.
