Watch the highest grossing water tricks. Simple and interesting magic tricks for children at home. Stand the can on its hind legs

Tricks at home do not require lengthy preparation or special mechanisms. Their main secret lies in sleight of hand and small tricks.

Magic at home? Why not? Many ordinary things and objects to which we do not attach special importance can become magical in the hands of a clever magician and illusionist. Everyone knows that magic tricks can make any celebration memorable, especially if it’s a child’s birthday. After all, the tricks performed by your beloved dad will be remembered by the birthday boy for the rest of his life!

The magical properties of water have long been used by famous illusionists around the world, and not only by them. However, you probably observed some of them in physics lessons, studying optics or Archimedes' law. Water tricks have simple manipulations and a great effect. By the way, half of the audience’s success depends on the magician’s ability to beautifully stage the performance. Remember the incredible performances of David Copperfield? Tricks at home do not require lengthy preparation or special mechanisms. Their main secret lies in sleight of hand and small tricks. Let's learn how to perform water tricks and surprise your family and friends.

1. Water illusion. Pour water into a glass. Place it in front of a sheet or monitor that shows arrows. The water will miraculously change their direction. Rays of light, when passing from air to water, change their direction, approaching the perpendicular. Water has a higher refractive index than air. A glass of water acts as a magnifying glass.
2. Pepper and water. Pour water into a bowl and sprinkle it with pepper. When you touch the surface of the water with your finger, nothing will happen. Now apply a drop of soap solution to your finger and touch the surface of the water again. The peppercorns will scatter to the edges of the bowl. Due to surface tension forces, the pepper floats on the surface. And soap breaks the surface tension of water. It spreads, capturing grains of pepper.
3. Water and whiskey. Fill one glass with water and the other with whiskey. Put plastic card on a glass of water, turn it over and place it on a glass of whiskey so that the card is between the glasses. Move it slightly, creating a gap for mixing liquids. After 10 minutes, the whiskey and water will switch places. This effect can be explained by the fact that whiskey and water have different densities. The whiskey is lighter and floats to the top. The water is heavier, it sinks down.
4. Fire-resistant inflatable ball. Fill balloon water and place it over the candle flame. The water will absorb the heat, cooling the bottom of the balloon and preventing it from bursting.
5. Glowing stream. Make a hole at the bottom of the plastic bottle. Fill it with water. Point the laser pointer directly at the hole. Place your hand and see how a colored water stream flows onto it, which in this trick acts as an optical fiber, transmitting light.
6. Glowing tonic. If you enable ultraviolet lamp, the tonic bottle will light up. Why? Quinine, which is part of the drink, converts ultraviolet radiation into the visible spectrum.
7. Cork from nylon mesh. Cut a piece of nylon mesh, place it on the neck of the bottle and secure with an elastic band. Fill the bottle with water through the mesh. If you cover the neck of the bottle with your palm and turn it over, then water will not flow through this mesh. Due to the binding properties of water, “membranes” are formed in the small holes of the mesh. The difference in pressure between the air outside and the water inside keeps the latter from flowing out.
8. Water ice cream. Place a bottle of distilled water in the freezer. When the water temperature reaches zero degrees, carefully remove the bottle. By squeezing it or hitting it on the table, you will cause the water to freeze. Try pouring it into your palm. The absence of impurities in purified water makes it possible to move its freezing point to a level below zero. If you shake the bottle, the water will freeze at zero degrees.

Water tricks

Water is the most common chemical compound on the planet. Besides the fact that water covers more than 70% of the surface of our cute blue ball called Earth, life is simply impossible without it! It is no longer a revelation to anyone that people are approximately 50-75% water. In essence, every person is no more and no less than a rational puddle with some "modifications".

Breathing exercises "Ships"

Necessary equipment: basin, paper.

Pour some water into the bowl. Show your child how to throw small pieces of paper into a basin and blow on them. Most likely the child will repeat your actions.

Play promotes development fine motor skills and articulatory apparatus.

Physical education minute "Balls in the Water"

In such an experimental game, fine motor skills are trained.

Necessary equipment: two deep plates or two small basins, several tennis balls, a strainer with a handle, a napkin or sponge.

Place two deep plates on the table, fill one of them water and drop the balls into it. A child uses a strainer to remove balls from a plate with water and transfers it to an empty plate. During the experiment, he notices that water spills into the holes of the strainer, and that the plastic balls do not sink in the water.

1. Break a pencil water? Easier than that!

For this simple focus we need a pencil and half a glass of clean, clear water. Every magic begins with loud declarations. No, in our case it’s not worth growing a gray beard and rattling your staff on the floor with screaming: "Let there be magic!". Although you can try to create an additional effect. Let's do it easier: Tell those present that you can break a pencil only with water. After listening to skeptical comments in your direction, lower the pencil into a half-full glass, without reaching the bottom with the tip. Now move it from side to side - it seems that the underwater part of our slate assistant has broken off from its brother with "streets". The pencil is broken! Formally, you kept your promise, although, naturally, our writing was not damaged. It's all about the ability of light to penetrate substances with different densities - after air, in water the rays shift, creating an effect accordingly "broken" pencil.

2. Magnetism of toothpick and ice

Now let's try something more spectacular. Is it possible to glue ice and wood? Utter stupidity, isn't it? But no! And we can defy the laws of physics and shock our friends.

Preliminary preparation consists of creating the ice cube we need. The water for ice should be as pure as possible - this will ensure the perfect execution of our focus. Place the finished cube in a bowl with water, carefully place a toothpick on top and sprinkle just a little salt around it. Now wait a couple of seconds and confidently lift the toothpick. Oh miracle! The toothpick is stuck to the ice so tightly that it lifts the entire cube! Surprised faces from those around you are guaranteed!

The secret is simple - in everything "guilty" salt. To freeze, salt water needs more low temperature than fresh. By sprinkling salt on the cube, we made the ice melt. At the same time, the salty solution gradually flows into the container, the toothpick freezes into the newly formed ice and, voila! – we can use a stick like a handle when lifting ice from water.

3. Synchronized toothpick swimming

Since we contacted wooden chopsticks to clean your teeth, let’s continue manipulating them. For this action you will need a bowl of clean water, 5-7 toothpicks, a sugar cube and a small piece of soap. We carefully place our wooden assistants on the surface of the water in random order, the main thing is that they do not touch. Let's make them run to the center of our dishes! To do this, put sugar in the middle of the bowl - and the toothpicks rush to the center like sharks to prey. Now let them run in all directions - put soap in the same place. Now the toothpicks are in the same hurry, only in different directions!

It goes like this: sugar absorbs moisture, and toothpicks tend to create « whirlpool» , so to speak. Soap, in turn, creates an imbalance in the tension of the water - in the center of the bowl it becomes weaker, and the wood tends to where the surface tension is stronger.

4. Lord of Water

Do you want to feel like Poseidon? Just by touching the surface of the water with your finger, make various small things on the surface of the water run away from you. Quite pretentious, isn't it? But it's very easy to do at home.

The props are simple.: deep baking dish, ground pepper, liquid soap And (drum roll) WATER!

Let's get started: pour our H2O into the mold and wait until the surface of our "sea" will become smooth like glass. Then sprinkle the water surface ground pepper. Do not skimp on spices - they should cover the water with a decent layer. When you are done with this, dip your finger in liquid soap, take the trident in the other hand (enter the image of the Lord of the Sea completely, create special effects better than "Avatar") and touch the surface with a soapy finger. During the process, you can shout all sorts of nonsense for atmosphere. The result is visible immediately - small peppers begin to run from your finger in different directions!

This effect is created in the same way as in the previous one. focus– soap changes the tension of the water and the pepper tends from your finger to the edges of the dish, where the tension is higher.

5. DIY gift

We will need a jar (determine the volume yourself, clean water, glycerin, multi-colored sparkles and some toy that will fit in the selected container. One of the conditions is that the water must be purified from impurities using household filter water or store bought (bottled). Then your work will not be at risk of turbidity or foreign sediment. Also, untreated water can bloom over time, and an unsightly coating will appear on the walls of the jar.

Pour water into a jar, add glycerin and glitter. TO inside We glue the lids or attach the toy in any other way and close our container. Thanks to glycerin, the sparkles will swirl smoothly, reminiscent of peaceful snowfalls outside the window. Such a gift, made with your own hands, will bring joy not only to children, but also to adults.

6. "Properties of salt water"

Necessary equipment: two glasses with water, two eggs, table salt (4 tbsp., spoon.

The child uses a spoon to lower the egg into one glass and observes that it sinks.

In the second glass, he dissolves the salt, stirring it thoroughly with a spoon. Drops the second egg. Observes that in this glass an egg floats on the surface.

7. WATER IS GLUE! (though not eternal). If you wet a piece of fabric and apply it to the cabinet, the fabric will stick as if glued! The same can be done with paper, cardboard, polyethylene, and even wooden or plastic cubes. Swipe competition: who can find the most objects that can stay on a vertical surface with the help of water.

Any viewer at least once in his life wanted to learn the secrets of illusionists and magicians, in this article we will tell you how to do simple tricks for children at home. For beginning magicians aged 8 - 10 years, you can come up with a whole performance and an unforgettable show for their peers for a birthday at home and not only.

Interesting tricks for children do not require special skills or special equipment; a child of 8–10 years old can easily cope with them. To begin a performance, you need to carefully prepare and hone your skills to make the trick perfect. An amazing birthday party trick will make your offspring applaud and applaud, and will also boost his self-esteem.

1. In order for the tricks to be performed according to all the rules, the child should come up with a costume and stage image. Ask your child what he would rather be, a street magician - performing card tricks, an illusionist like David Copperfield, or even a real magician and wizard. Based on your child’s preferences, make the necessary props and a costume that matches the image.
2. It’s not difficult to learn how to amaze an audience with magic tricks, the main thing is to develop sleight of hand and achieve mastery in distraction. Simple magic tricks for children can be based on physical and chemical properties ah objects and substances.

For example, light chemical tricks are performed using liquids (water, oil, soda, milk, etc.). Showing such simple miracles V kindergarten or for a birthday at home for 10 year old children, you can teach them science at the same time. At the age of 10, children become more socialized, and such tricks perfectly develop communication skills and leadership qualities.

How to pierce a bag of water so it doesn't spill

For this scientific trick, you will need a thick plastic bag, a pencil and water. The bag is filled with ordinary tap water, for effectiveness, you can tint it with food coloring or just watercolors. Then we tie a bag with collected water and pierce it with a pencil. And voila! The bag does not leak and the liquid remains in its place.

The whole trick lies in the property of the liquid, it’s just physics, but from the outside it looks like an extraordinary miracle.

How to put a coin through a table

Tricks with coins for children are probably the most popular. How often do we see in films how grown-up guys take out a coin from behind the ear of little toddlers? But this is just sleight of hand, but while at home you can slightly change the focus with the coin. To do this you need an ordinary table and a coin. The highlight of this magic is the penetration of the coin through the surface of the table. It's quite simple to do.

• The first step is to position yourself at the table so that the viewer does not see your legs under the table. The entire action is performed with two hands. The active hand (right) is constantly in sight, and the left is under the table (we create the appearance that we are catching a coin). The most difficult moment is to quietly throw a coin from the edge of the table into your left hand.
• By making this movement with three fingers, we create the appearance of holding a coin. Then simultaneously clap your palm right hand on the table, and with the left hand we knock the coin from under the bottom. Next, we simply take out a coin and present it all as magic.

Focus coin through table

A balloon that can't burst

This trick is similar to the previous one with water and a pencil. Only instead of a bag we use a balloon, and a pencil - a long, thin and sharp knitting needle. To make the trick work, you first need to stick a tiny piece of transparent tape onto the ball. You need to glue it on both sides symmetrically. You can take a few more balls, but without tape. This is done to show that the balls are ordinary and burst with a needle.

Then the baby inflates the “enchanted” balloon and pierces it all the way through where the tape is glued. And lo and behold! The balloon didn't burst, you just need to practice in advance.

Water turns to ice

A fun trick for freezing liquids based on the chemical properties of water. As you know, at temperatures below 0 degrees, liquid turns into ice. But this trick is spectacular, especially if you perform it on the birthday of 10-year-old peers who do not yet know the laws of physics and chemistry.

• Need to take plastic bottle dial into it tap water and place in the freezer for about two hours. Be sure to make sure that the water does not freeze, but only becomes very cold and close to freezing. Then you can take out the ice for drinks and start pouring icy liquid from the bottle onto it, everyone will be delighted to see the liquid freeze and turn into a solid state, i.e. into the ice.
• You can also invite the public to try ice cream from their favorite carbonated drink. To begin, before your show, shake your soda bottle and refrigerate it as directed above. Always make sure that the drink does not harden; this time varies depending on the refrigerator. Therefore, go and check from time to time to ensure that no ice has formed.
• Then, when the time has come for the performance, take out a bottle of soda (the main thing is not to shake it, so as not to ruin the focus) and open the cap gradually releasing the gas. Then slowly pour the drink into the cooled container, and you will see how it turns into ice cream before your eyes. You can also create this magic right in the bottle. To do this, shake the cooled soda.
• If you prefer to experiment with water, you can pour it into a cold cup and throw in a piece of ice. The effect will be the same, only the liquid does not freeze immediately, but seems to stick to the piece of ice. By stirring with a spoon or straw you will get a homogeneous mass. If you use a sweet drink, then it can be eaten like ice cream and offered to those who wish. It turns out to be a kind of molecular cooking.

Matchbox

• Even a child in kindergarten can do the funniest and simplest trick using a matchbox. First you need to prepare the props, take matchbox and take out the inner box for storing matches, cut it in the center and turn one of the halves over with the back side. Then, using tape or paper, glue the box together so that it consists of two halves turned in different directions.
• Next, put matches into the glued box and push them back into the box. The following actions: take the box and pull out the inner box halfway (so that the gluing is not visible), observers see the matches, then close the box and turn its back side towards the viewer.

Everyone thinks that when you turn the box over and open it, all the matches will fall out. But that was not the case! You pull out the box, but the matches remain in place and for the viewer the magic lies in the fact that the box inside has turned over on its own.

Rope trick

You will need two participants and two identical ropes. To begin, one participant (No. 1) has a rope tied around his wrists in the form of handcuffs. The second participant is tied with a rope on one hand, the rope itself is passed through the “fetters” of the first (crosswise) and the second end of the rope is tied to participant No. 2. Then they are asked to free themselves from the bonds without removing the rope from their wrists or cutting them.

From the outside, this thing looks very unsophisticated, and it seems that it is impossible to free yourself. But there is a way out, and here’s how: a rope is taken from participant No. 2 somewhere in the middle and its loop is threaded into the loop on the wrist of the first participant. Then the threaded loop No. 2, participant No. 1 puts on the hand through which the second loop was passed. And participant No. 2 throws off the loop from No. 1 and is freed.

Rope trick

Magic kits

A set of magic tricks for children can be given to your little one for her birthday or just bought for logical development and thinking. Ready-made sets can be purchased in online stores; such kits usually come with instructions for performing tricks.

These may be chemical or physical experiments, illusions, card tricks, practical jokes and much more. These simple tricks at home prepare the child for science and, by playing with his parents, he develops oratory abilities and develops creative potential.

Soda experience

The ingenious soda gobbledygook fascinates and confuses those watching at first glance. The trick itself involves restoring a crushed aluminum soda can and then pouring the drink from the supposedly “empty” container.

First, you will need a half-liter jar of your favorite drink (unopened). And also a needle, tape and a black circle of paper (the size of the hole in the jar). The first thing you need to do is pierce the jar with a needle in some place (preferably higher and closer to the top).

• Thus, we release the pressure and part of the drink from the can. Then, when the drink is about one-third out, seal the hole with tape. Then we carefully crush the jar itself, giving it a used look. Place a black circle of paper on the lid. From a distance it will look like the can is open and there is a hole in it.
• Everything is ready for the performance, now you tell the audience that with the help of magic you can restore a can of the desired soda. You take the crumpled container and carefully show that it seems to be empty.
• Then, with the words - gobbledygook, shake the bottle slightly and make mysterious hand gestures (due to internal pressure gas in the can from shaking, it will begin to burst and the remaining drink will straighten the bent aluminum). Then, distracting with your other hands and words, carefully and quietly remove the black circle thumb hands. Next, you open the bottle cap (revealing the ring) and pour the drink into the glass.

Paper cover

Another experience built on science and physics. Again liquid, glass, but now paper. Fill the glass with water (about halfway), and cut a piece of paper a little larger diameter neck of the glass. Then cover the glass with a sheet of paper and quickly turn it over, holding the paper.

And lo and behold, the water did not spill, but remained in the glass. You can modify this experiment using a liquid dye and you can take different volumes of vessels. It can be a small glass, a liter jar, a vase, etc. The main thing is that the neck of the vessels is even.

Cool trick with water in a glass

Water is the most amazing substance on the planet, possessing a number of specific physical and chemical properties. It is on these features that its main application is based. However, water can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also to surprise and delight others. There are several interesting and spectacular tricks with water.

Riddle "Water in a glass"

This trick can hardly be called magic. The point here is, rather, the ability to think and know the laws of physics. The very essence of the riddle is as follows. The person is given the following requisites:

• several metal coins;
• shallow saucer;
• a glass of water (a little, about 1/8 full);
• box of matches.

You need to pour the water from the glass into the saucer, and then, without touching the plate again, move the water back. That is, you can use matches, coins, a glass, but not a saucer.

The solution is not difficult. You can view it here:

You need to cover the matches with a glass while they are still burning, but not with the first strong flame, otherwise the trick will not be entirely successful.

Spectacular freezing

A very beautiful and even scary trick that will allow you to become the center of attention. However, before performing the trick itself, careful preparation of the props itself is required. And this:

• pure bottled water, still;
• freezer;
• table.

Place a bottle of water in the freezer and monitor the time it stays there, it should stay for at least 2.5 hours. After this time, check periodically - as soon as the first ice crystals appear in the water, remove it immediately. That's it, the water is ready.

Trick effect: the magician shows the audience a bottle of cold water, demonstrating that it is liquid. Then he sharply hits it on the table and, in front of the amazed spectators, the water in the bottle begins to freeze from the bottom up in waves, becoming real ice. In just a few seconds it all crystallizes.

The secret of focus: lies in physical properties water. When the bottle is cooled to the required temperature, the water in it is on the border of transition from one state of aggregation to another. Therefore, a sharp physical impact leads to the catalysis of this process and the water instantly passes into the solid phase.

After the water has been removed from the refrigerator, no more than two minutes should pass before the trick is demonstrated.

Coin in a water bottle

This trick is performed before different quantities the public or just in front of the camera. It is important that the audience sees the magician's hands and the bottle of water and understands that they are not being deceived. The effect of the trick: in front of the audience, the magician places a coin through the bottom into a bottle of water, closed with a lid. He doesn't touch the neck, doesn't turn the bottle over, and doesn't do anything unnecessary. Simply by the power of thought he places a coin from his hand through the plastic inside. The integrity of the container does not suffer from this.

The solution to this spectacular trick stored here:

Before performing this trick, you should practice several times in front of the mirror to see how it looks from the outside and correct all aspects.

Structured ice

To perform this simply fantastic trick you will need:

• specially cooled water in advance (as in the “Effective Freezing” experiment);
• a bowl with ice crumbs or cubes;
• demonstration table.

The effect of a trick for the viewer: the magician pours ordinary water onto ice cubes and, instead of the expected dissolution, observes an instant transformation spilled water into a thick, structured, mushy ice that will slowly creep towards the neck.

The secret of the trick: again, in the properties of water during the transition from one state of aggregation to another. The main thing is to properly prepare the liquid itself.

Another good selection of beautiful tricks with water is at this address:

Here you can also see the solutions to these tricks.

Water bomb

A spectacular magic trick for children and adults. To perform it you will need:

• distilled water (required, ordinary water will not work);
• microwave;
• a small object made of any material (coin, glass, ring - it doesn’t matter).

The essence of the trick: in front of the public, the magician heats water in the microwave, and then, taking it out, throws any object into the bowl and a spectacular explosion occurs with splashing!

The secret of the trick: distilled water is able to cross the boiling point without external manifestations (it will not boil, form bubbles, and so on). Therefore, to the audience, the water will appear normal. When foreign objects enter superheated boiling distilled water, an explosion occurs.

You should move to a safe distance when performing the experiment, as you may get burned!

Everyone loves holidays. But, unfortunately, in most cases, family celebrations are banal feasts with watching TV and listening to music. And while adults can somehow entertain themselves, kids get very bored at such events. Great option will become home tricks. You can create a whole performance for children at home.

Water trick

In front of the audience are four plastic glasses, half filled with water. You have a fifth container in your hands, from which you pour liquid into the existing ones. Before the eyes of amazed spectators, the water in the glasses changes color.

The secret of the trick is simple and is as follows:

• Place four glue dots on the top of the glass you will be working with;
• sprinkle 4 different food colors on them;
• Shake off excess powder well and carefully fill the glass with water;
• Every time you pour out water, the liquid will turn a certain color.

Coin trick

If you want to organize happy holiday or just a fun way to spend a family evening, great solution will become magic tricks for children. At home you can show original and simple tricks. So, having wrapped a coin in a sheet of paper, you need to shake the package, pronouncing magic words. Opening it, you will find that there is nothing inside. By repeating the manipulation again, you will present that same coin to the surprised spectators.

The secret of the trick is that you should actually have 2 identical pieces of paper. They should be equally rolled into small envelopes and glued together. When showing the audience a piece of paper, turn it so that they do not notice the “hidden place”. When you shake the package, turn it over with the empty envelope facing up. Repeating the manipulation, change the position again.

Banana trick

You can demonstrate different magic tricks for children at home. And not only interesting, but also delicious. So, give the kids bananas, and when they start peeling them, they will be surprised to notice that the fruits have already been cut into pieces.

Ball trick

Interesting tricks for children at home can be performed by any adult; they will help add something new to a family holiday or boring evening. For the next trick you will need a balloon. Also a plate filled oatmeal, small pieces of paper or some other light objects. Take the ball in your hands and start rubbing it on your hair or woolen fabric. Bring the item to the plate without putting it in it. The contents will begin to be attracted to the surface of the ball, like a magnet. These are ordinary laws of physics, which, with the help of imagination, turn into easy tricks for children. At home they will be great entertainment.

Paper trick

Bet the audience that you can fit through a hole cut in a piece of paper. This is, rather, not a trick, but a test of intelligence. Hand out paper and scissors to everyone in the audience. While they are thinking, do the following with your set:

• fold a sheet of paper lengthwise;
• make a cut perpendicular to the fold so that it does not reach the edge of the sheet;
• now cut the sheet from edge to fold in the same way;
• perform such manipulations until the entire sheet is cut with such a fringe;
• with the exception of the extreme strips, all the rest must be cut along the fold;
• unfolding the sheet, you will see that a person can easily pass through the resulting hole.

Cup trick

Show simple magic tricks for children at home. They can really delight them! So, everyone will be extremely surprised when a cup of tea or coffee begins to soar under your control.

The trick is very easy to implement. Glue a piece to the cup double sided tape such a size that it firmly fixes the thumb. Grab the cup tightly and go to the guests. Lift the vessel with your thumb facing you and open your palm. To make the impression even stronger, move your hands as if you have telekinesis.

Coca-Cola can trick

If you want to perform simple magic tricks for children at home, try refilling an empty and crumpled tin can. This trick requires preparation and includes the following steps:

• take a sheet of black construction paper and cut a piece into a shape that resembles the hole of an open can;
• slightly lift the tongue and tuck the cut-out shape under it (this will create the appearance that the jar is open and empty);
• Make a barely noticeable hole in the top of the jar (on the side), through which pour half of the contents;
• go out to the guests and show them the jar;
• to prove that it is empty, turn it over and shake it, and then crush it (but not too much);
• now pinch the previously made hole with your finger and start shaking the jar (slowly at first, and then faster);
• continue to do this until the jar is leveled (this will be achieved due to the gas contained in the drink);
• continuing to surprise your guests, move your palm over top part jars, discreetly removing the black piece of paper;
• Now all you have to do is show your guests the result, open the container and pour cola into the glass.

Thread trick

This trick can be performed by both adults and children. The main thing is thorough preparation. Take a jacket and sew a secret pocket inside. Wrap several meters of thread around a small pencil or pen, the color of which will contrast with the clothing, and place it in it. Using a needle, pull the thread outward so that its small tip is visible. When speaking in front of an audience, you will need to feign sincere surprise when you see a thread on your jacket. Try brushing it off several times. Once you are sure that your attempts are unsuccessful, pull the tip. Viewers will be surprised that the thread does not end.

Fruit trick

The best entertainment for the holidays (including New Year's) is magic tricks. For children, you can prepare a trick at home in which an orange will turn into an apple. To do this trick, you need to do the following:

• carefully peel the orange so as to preserve the integrity of the peel as much as possible;
• now take an apple, which is approximately the same size as an orange, and wrap it in skin;
• now you need to tightly squeeze the fruit in your hand so that all the cuts are in the palm of your hand, and demonstrate it to the public;
• now put a thick scarf over your hand, and when removing it, try to remove the orange peel;
• surprised spectators will see an apple in your hand.

Rice trick

If you want to amaze your young guests, you're probably wondering how to learn magic tricks. At home, it is enough for children to show tricks with ordinary objects, showing a little imagination, cunning and artistry. So, the most common rice can be made magical. To do this you need to do the following:

• prepare 2 identical plastic boxes for mayonnaise, margarine, cream cheese or other products (they must be opaque and also have a lid);
• Fill one of the containers almost to the top with rice;
• Glue the cut-out fragment of the lid to the bottom of the second box so that its volume is halved;
• place the filled box on a wide dish, cover it with a “converted” container on top and turn the structure upside down;
• walk around the room with this design, casting magic spells;
• Now remove the top box - the rice will begin to spill out, as if there was more of it.

Demonstrating chemistry tricks for children at home

Chemical experiments can be carried out not only in scientific laboratory, but also at home. At the same time, this spectacle can be imagined as something magical. So, tricks for children at home can be as follows.

• In the evening, prepare a decoction of red cabbage to steep overnight. Now you will need 3 glasses, each of which should be filled by a third with water, a powder solution and diluted vinegar. By adding the resulting decoction to each of these vessels, you will obtain a liquid of purple, green and red colors, respectively.
• At the bottom of an opaque glass or mug you need to put a layer paper napkins. Place a few pieces of ice on top. Now you need to pour enough water into the container so that the napkins absorb it. After casting a magic spell, you should turn the glass over and demonstrate how you turned the liquid into ice.
• There are more effective way turn water into ice. To do this, you need to take the liquid into a bottle and put it in the freezer. After 2 hours the water will reach freezing point but will still be in liquid state. To perform the trick, place an ice cube in the middle of a large dish. Start pouring water from the freezer onto it in a thin stream. It will freeze before your eyes.
• Mix milk with lemon juice. You will use this liquid as ink. Using a brush dipped in the lemon-milk mixture, apply text or designs to white sheets of paper and let them dry. Now invite the children to read the message. When you realize that they have no idea about anything, start heating the sheet with a hairdryer or ironing it. After a minute, the text or drawing you previously applied will begin to appear on it.

Tricks that children perform at home

Of course, kids love watching magic tricks, but showing them on their own will be even more interesting for them. So, young wizards can demonstrate the following tricks:

• In front of the public, the child places 5 coins between the pages of the book, closes it and casts a spell over the tome using a wand. After that, he shakes out not 5, but already 10 coins. The secret is simple. You need to hide extra coins in the spine in advance, which will fall out later.
• The magician goes on stage and discovers that he forgot to put on his bow tie. After that, he says the magic word, turns around himself, and finds himself wearing a tie. To perform this trick, you need to sew a thin but strong elastic band to the butterfly in advance. The tie is hidden under the armpit. During the turn, the child slightly raises his hand, and the butterfly is in its place.

Conclusion

If you want to make your holiday unforgettable, magic tricks will certainly help you. For young children, you can arrange a real magic show at home. The main thing is to show your imagination and practice well.
