How it's used

It is most commonly associated with the film industry and professional stunt performers.
Examples
The special effects in this movie are very impressive.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for simple magic tricks or sleight of hand, which are better described as 魔術. It is specifically for technical effects or high-risk physical actions.
