Magic tricks always attract attention. And if their secret has not yet been revealed, they are filled with special magic. By the way, sometimes for a good focus you don’t need to look for special equipment at all.
Team website invites you to become real wizards using the most ordinary objects.
Coca-Cola in a ball
For this simple trick, all you need is a balloon and a bottle of Coca-Cola. Place the balloon on the neck of the bottle and have someone tilt the bottle and pour the cola into the balloon. Usually these attempts fail because the ball is tightly compressed. The secret is that you need to shake the bottle slightly so that the gas begins to move into the ball.
Banana with filling
A delicious trick for lovers of sweet surprises. You can try stuffing a banana without peeling it using a syringe. Or cut a banana from the tail side, make a hole with a straw and add Nutella or condensed milk. Then we take a banana, peel it and surprise the kids!
Phone - in a ball
A good trick for the holidays when balloons are flying everywhere in the room. We take one of them and keep it lying on the table, pressing it with the phone. Then we sharply deflate the ball by pressing on the phone. That's all - the gadget is “trapped”!
Light two candles without matches
This simple trick is very effective. You will need two candles, glycerin and potassium permanganate powder. Lubricate the wick of one candle with glycerin in advance, and the other with potassium permanganate. We bring the candles to each other with wicks... And, lo and behold, they light up! When performing a trick, keep the candles on outstretched arms, away from yourself.
Paperclip on the water
This focus will allow you to take your mind off work or school. Invite others to place a paperclip in a glass of water so that it does not drown. And when the unsuccessful attempts are completed, do the same, but with the help of another paperclip, previously unbent for the convenience of the process. And you did it!
Turning an orange into an apple
A wonderful trick for children. Show the orange, cover it with a scarf, say the “magic words” and tear off the scarf. Wow, there's an apple there! To do this “miracle,” you need to peel the orange in advance and place the apple in it. When showing, squeeze the apple in the orange peel and then deftly grasp the cloth and peel.
Ball raising glass
This trick is suitable for a friendly bet. Tell me that you can easily lift balloon cup. How is this possible? All the “magic” is in ordinary matches. Throw a burning match at the bottom of the glass and immediately apply a ball to the upper edge, pressing lightly. As soon as the match burns out, pick it up!
Amazing tricks sometimes don't even require props
Do you want to be able to surprise people? Do you dream of becoming a magician? But this requires props, considerable skills, and many devices. In fact, there are many tricks for which you will need absolutely nothing .
At the same time, they are very easy to learn, and their secrets can be unraveled only by a very attentive person who himself deals with such things, and even then only if he hurries up and begins to demonstrate his skill without properly training.
So, the most amazing tricks without props . Perhaps you have already seen some of it yourself. It's time to find out the secret.
Focus "Closed hands"
Clasped hands can be released. there is one little trick
An incredibly interesting trick that requires absolutely nothing. It is done very simply, even children can learn.
More likely, the one performing the trick will ask you to repeat all the movements after him .
- Pull your arms forward, place them crosswise, right over left
- Turn your palms towards each other so that your little fingers are at the top and clasp your hands.
- The thumbs are extended downwards.
- And then, while maintaining your grip, you turn your hands with your thumbs up.
- Have you tried it? Most likely, you didn't succeed. But the illusionist opposite you freely unfolded his clasped hands.
Surprised? How did he do it? Very easy.
The main trick of many, the thing on which the whole secret rests, is a red herring. And here it is too. The trick will work best on a large audience. This way you will be watched less closely.
So, you asked the audience to clasp their hands crosswise with their little fingers up:
- And then attention needs to be naturally diverted somehow. For example, you can turn to one of the audience, ask them to raise their hands a little higher, and advise another person to lower them a little.
- And at the same time, you yourself unclasp your hands, and then clasp them again, quickly, so that no one notices that your grip has become different.
The secret of the clasped hands trick is revealed in this video:
And you make the capture very simple:
- Interlock your fingers in advance so that your thumbs are at the top, and then turn your palms one hundred and eighty degrees.
- The big ones look down, you pretend to be witchcraft, and then turn the lock with your little fingers down.
You succeeded, but the audience did not. If you practice, stretch your arm muscles a little, no one will notice anything, no matter where they are: in front of you, to the side or slightly behind. This is one of the few tricks when performing which you don’t have to make sure that the entire audience is in front of your eyes.
Focus "Hands in the lock"
Viewers are easily deceived. The main thing is to distract their attention Another interesting trick, When your hands are clasped together. It too can be shown to a large audience standing around you without worrying about exposure.
The magician clasps his palms, one palm is on top, its fingers are clenched, the other is below, the fingers are extended.
He turns the lock one hundred and eighty degrees, and the hand that turned out to be the bottom unclenches, and the upper hand squeezes, covering the lower one.
And so again, and then again. Then the “magician” shakes the lock, and the upper hand suddenly disappears, and five more fingers appear below, grasping the clutch.
Learn hand tricks in this video:
How is this done?
- Apply right palm to the left and grab it.
- Turn it over, turn it back over.
- And then you need to very sharply bend the fingers of the lower hand and straighten the upper ones.
- The main thing is to do it sharply and very quickly. Then it will cause surprise.
But this trick is very easy. It's good to show it to children. Attentive adults will quickly expose you.
This is just a small example of how many different things you can show using only your hands. Learn and surprise, and in any company you will be admired.
After reading the article, you will be able to do simple but very funny magic tricks.
You can also download for free books about magic tricks
Where do we start?
It is especially useful for shy, insecure kids to learn a few tricks. After all, in order to show a prepared trick, you need to go, if not on stage, then at least to the center of the room, where the whole family or friends of the baby have gathered for the performance. And thunderous applause and surprise from friends will be the best cure for low self-esteem.
First of all, explain to your daughter or son that in order for the trick to work, you need to practice properly. Very often children want everything at once. They get upset if something doesn't work out after several attempts. Remind your child that you can’t even pull a fish out of a pond without difficulty. With your help, a novice magician will cope with inevitable difficulties, and this will help him in the future to bring the work he has begun to completion and develop determination.
Many tricks require making props. This would be a great creative activity for 5-6 year olds. And where the child cannot cope on his own, his mother or grandmother will help him. Here the most ordinary things will be used: strings, coins, cardboard boxes, plastic sour cream jars and of course colored paper, paints, pencils.
Where can I find descriptions of tricks? In children's magazines and books. There is not much such literature, but it is not difficult to find. After all, the door to magic is closed, but not locked. Try to interest the young magician in books on the history of the art of illusions, tell him about the great magicians of the past and present. This will give the child new knowledge and teach him to take a more serious, comprehensive approach to the topic of interest. Tell your child that, for example, David Copperfield since childhood read all the literature about magic that he could find, and this helped him become the greatest illusionist in the world.
Act according to the principle “from simple to complex.” If your child does well in his very first trick in life, he will feel more confident in the future. Choose a simple, well-understood trick, and analyze it with your child. When the child begins to succeed, let him rehearse in front of the mirror. This way he will be able to understand what the audience will see and correct possible mistakes.
Practice together what and how your magician will say while performing the trick. Explain to him that how he behaves on stage is very important for an artist. Even the most amazing “magic” will be boring if the “wizard” silently waves his wand. It’s a completely different matter when an artist smiles and jokes with the audience. So gradually the child will learn not only to speak casually during the performance, this will contribute to the development of a sense of humor. And also tell your child that it is very important never to reveal the secret of the trick, no matter how much his friends ask him to do so. Otherwise the feeling of magic will be destroyed.
The simplest tricks
Here are some simple tricks to get you started.
Spoon glued to nose
A trick spoon glued to your nose is suitable for when you drink sweet coffee or compote, stirring it with a light teaspoon. To demonstrate the trick, remove the spoon from the cup. Turn the spoon handle down and place the concave side towards your nose. Lightly press the outside of the spoon with your fingers. After you remove your hand, the spoon will hang on your nose as if it were glued. The secret of the trick is simple. You really glued the spoon with the help of the sweet drink that remains on it when stirring. Even with little acting ability, a few seconds are enough to convince the audience of this trick of the extraordinary properties of your spoon.
Coins in a book
We place six coins on the page of a large book. We close the book and say the magic words “crex-pex-fex”. Now we open the book, tilt it so that the coins slide into the hand of one of the spectators. We count them and find that there are ten coins! The secret of the trick is simple. Before the show starts, you need to put four coins in the spine. open book and check that they can slip out unnoticed when you tilt the book, but do not fall out with any movement.
The miraculous appearance of a tie
The next simple trick is a trick joke. The little magician comes out to the audience and asks what important detail is missing from his costume. Oops, he forgot to wear a tie! It's okay, because a wizard can do anything. The child waves his magic wand - and the bow tie appears in its right place! Where did he come from? And the whole point, of course, is in special training.
You need to take a thin round elastic band and attach one end to the tie. Then we hold the tie with an elastic band under the arm so that the audience cannot see it. We will thread the free end of the elastic into the loop on the collar of the shirt, lower it under the shirt to the waist and secure it there firmly. Now you need to take the magic wand in your hand. When your baby waves it, the elastic will pull the tie toward the collar.
Three bottle caps
Give three spectators a lemonade cap, two of which are regular white(colorless), and one is yellow. Offer to hide the lids in a box with three compartments so that you can’t see which is which, and try to guess which compartment the lid is in, for example the yellow one.
The box is made of four outer cases and three inner drawers matchboxes. When the lids are laid out, turn to the audience, take the box from them and, after a second of reflection, confidently indicate where the hidden lid is hidden.
Secret trick: In the lid yellow In advance, place a lead circle under the seal, equal in diameter to the lid. Hand out the caps to the audience one at a time so that they do not have the opportunity to compare them. When you receive the box in your hand, discreetly grasp the middle of it with your fingertips. The advantage of one side will immediately indicate to you the desired compartment. If the box remains in balance, then the desired lid is in the center).
Mind Reading
The young magician can surprise viewers with his ability to read minds. The child takes a book from the shelf as if at random and asks the audience to name the number of any page. Then he leaves the room, and an assistant, for example mom, reads aloud the top line on the selected page.
The kid returns to the room and asks the audience to think about the line he heard. Then, pretending to read thoughts, he pronounces it. This trick can be easily done by a child who can read. The whole secret is that the exact same book is hidden behind the door. When the child leaves the room, he simply reads and remembers the top line on the correct page.
Balloon and knitting needle
The young magician holds in his hands an inflated balloon. Then he takes a long knitting needle and pierces the ball right through, but the magic ball remains intact. To demonstrate to the audience that the ball is an ordinary one, the child lightly pierces it with a needle. The ball bursts.
How is this possible? Help your son or daughter prepare a knitting needle for this trick. It should be long, thin, well pointed and carefully polished, without nicks. Now we stick a piece of tape on both sides of the ball - and the props are ready. Just first you need to practice piercing the ball precisely in the places “reinforced” with tape quickly and accurately. If you accidentally hit the thin, stretched rubber of the ball with a knitting needle, it will immediately burst. And it’s okay that the kid ruins more than a dozen balloons. But then he will be able to surprise guests at a birthday party or friends at kindergarten mysterious trick.
Magic rice
Now let’s show the audience the magic rice. Your magician fills a plastic margarine jar to the brim with dry rice. Then he covers it with exactly the same jar, bottom up, turns the jars on their sides, pressing them tightly against each other, and carries them to all four corners of the room, saying that by magic the rice is transferred to the north, south, west and east. Our rice has traveled around the world.
It may not have become twice as tasty, but there was twice as much of it. We put the jars on a tray, remove the top... The container is full of rice, but the extra one came from somewhere! It scattered all over the tray, it doubled in size! But before, rice easily fit into a jar, everyone saw it. For this trick, we need to work some magic on plastic jars in advance. We will need two completely identical containers.
Take the lid of the jar and carefully cut off the edge. Lubricate the edge of the lid with any universal glue and glue it inside one of the cans approximately in the middle. Now the volume of the can has decreased by half. Let your child decorate both jars so that they look exactly the same.
To do this, they can be covered with colored paper and shiny stars. To get the trick, pour the rice into a regular jar and cover it with the one we specially prepared by gluing the lid inside. Now all that remains is not to forget important detail at the end of the trick: after “traveling the world” the jar with the lid glued in should be at the bottom.
Hand tying
To successfully perform the next trick, the baby will have to practice a little.
We will need a rope about 1 m long, a thin metal (or plastic) bracelet in the form of a ring, into which a child’s hand can easily fit, and a large scarf. Two assistants tightly tie the ends of the rope around the “wizard’s” hands. The child takes the bracelet in one hand and hides both hands under a scarf, which is held by the ends by assistants. After a few seconds, the assistants remove the scarf, and the artist raises his hands up and shows the bracelet hanging on the rope. Of course, here too the solution is very simple. After all, there is a second, exactly the same bracelet. The child first puts it on his hand and covers it with the sleeve of his shirt or jacket. In the meantime, the assistants hold the handkerchief, quietly hide the bracelet in their pocket, and slide the one hidden under the sleeve down onto the rope. That's the whole secret!
Amazing pencil
Fold the banknote in half lengthwise and hold it horizontally. Place a pencil under it. Viewers will see how he, having pierced the paper, stuck out on the other side. Without pulling out the pencil, turn the bill vertically. Holding it on top with one hand, sharply lower the pencil down with the other. It will easily pass through the paper, and the paper... will be safe and sound!
The secret of the trick: make a 4 cm long cut in the middle part of the pencil. When demonstrating the trick, move the pencil from the side of the bill opposite to the audience so that half of the bill fits into the cut. Fold over the other half of the bill. When viewers see a tongue-like part of a pencil, they will mistake it for a whole pencil. All that remains is to sharply lower the pencil down and release the bill from the cut.
Instantly transform an orange into an apple
The young wizard shows everyone an orange, covers it with a bright scarf, casts magic spells, and pulls off the scarf. And there’s already an apple on your palm! The secret of focus. Carefully remove the peel from the orange in advance. Then place the apple (it should be slightly smaller than the orange) in this peel. When showing, the child, tightly holding an apple in an orange peel, shows everyone what he has in his hand. Then, with a deft movement, he removes the scarf from the apple along with the peel.
Confetti candies
Just imagine: a young magician covers a paper cup with confetti with a handkerchief, takes off the handkerchief, and instead of confetti there is candy in the cup. The most real, sweet and delicious. Help yourself, friends! And no matter how fantastic it may sound, with the necessary props it’s not difficult to perform such a trick. So, we will need a large opaque bowl or wide vase filled to the middle with confetti (we buy several bags and pour it into the bowl), two completely identical paper or plastic cups (one with a lid), candies in candy wrappers, and a scarf. Before we start training, let’s do a little magic with a glass.
Fill the one with the lid with candies, close the lid, thickly grease it with glue and cover it with confetti. It is better to stick the confetti in several layers so that they reliably disguise the lid. If there is no ready-made protrusion on the side of the lid, tape a piece of strong fishing line to it with tape so that it is not conspicuous, but at the same time it is easy to feel and grab with your fingers. Cups with your baby can be decorated with stickers. Just make sure that they look absolutely identical (to do this, use two sheets of identical stickers).
After all this, we bury the glass in the bowl of confetti so that it is not visible. The preparations are complete. Let's move on to the actual focus. The magician shows the audience a bowl of confetti and tells them that he can turn confetti into candy. Don't believe me? Now, now!
He takes an empty glass, shows it to the audience, scoops confetti from the vase with it and pours it back with enough high altitude, demonstrating to the audience that all these are ordinary things, there is no secret in them. You need to scoop up the confetti carefully so as not to “light up” the hidden glass. Then the young magician scoops up the confetti again, but at the same time quietly leaves an empty glass under a layer of colored circles, and pulls out a glass with a “secret”. This is the first point that needs to be worked out properly. The audience should not suspect anything.
The “secret” glass is raised above the bowl and shown to the audience, the remains of confetti fall from it, and no one suspects the substitution. The magician shakes off the excess confetti (leaving only the glued one), covers the glass with a handkerchief and “conjures” over it, saying something like: One, two, three, Become a confetti candy!
And he himself feels the prepared loop of fishing line through the scarf and pulls the scarf off the cup along with the lid. This is the second point that requires training. You need to learn how to quickly grab the loop and remove the scarf so that the cover underneath is not visible. After this, the young magician puts the scarf aside and shows the surprised spectators a glass full of sweets. So, what do magic candies taste like?
Jumping Coin
This is a cute home trick that is simple and effective. Place a small coin on the table and have someone pick it up without touching the table or the coin. Of course, even if someone volunteers to do this, they still won’t be able to.
The secret of the trick: just hold your hand close to the coin and blow strongly on it from a distance of 5 centimeters. The air compressed by your breath will lift the coin and throw it into your hand. This does not work right away, but after several exercises you can deftly perform this trick: you blow and there is a coin in your hand!
Endless thread
The magician notices a white thread on his jacket, near the lapel, and tries to brush it off several times. But the thread does not “blow away”. The magician takes the end and pulls it down. The thread begins to pull out of the jacket. The more she stretches out, the more surprised the magician is. And the length of the thread is several tens of meters! Mechanics of the trick: a white thread from a spool is wound onto a short colored pencil (as long as it is wound), placed in the side inner pocket and its tail (1-2 cm) is pulled outward through the fabric of the jacket with a needle. The pencil is needed so that “there are no traces left in the pocket” if one of the spectators asks the magician to show his pocket; a pencil is not a reel; it will not help solve this trick.
Trickster water
If you place a transparent glass on a large copper coin, the coin will be clearly visible through its walls. Pour water into a glass - the coin will “disappear” (of course, if you don’t look into the glass from above). Based on this optical effect, you can come up with a number. Take a coin and glue it to the bottom of the glass in advance. The child shows the audience a glass of water. There's nothing in it. Lower the glass down and hold it so that the audience looks at it from above - a coin appears in the glass!
Obedient button
Pour soda into a glass. The young magician takes a small button and drops it into a glass. The button will be at the bottom. Immediately or a little later, he moves his hand over the glass and says: “Button, come to me!” The button slowly rises up. He passes his hand over the glass again and says: “Button down!” She will obediently lower herself.
The secret of the trick: when the button is at the bottom of the glass, gas bubbles collect around it and when there are a lot of them, they will lift the button. Then the bubbles will disappear and the button will fall back down. This movement will continue as long as it stands out carbon dioxide. But practice first, calculate the time before commanding the button “up” or “down”.
Slipper trick
The magician brings out a paper package. Unties him. He takes out a clean rug from the package. He shows it to the audience from all sides: nothing is hidden in it. Spreads it on the floor. Still holding the rug with his hands by the edge, he pulls the slippers off with one foot and covers them with the rug. Makes “magic passes” in the air with his hands. He lifts the rug and points to the shoes that appeared “from nowhere.” Blows a kiss to the audience. He bows solemnly in all directions. And he doesn’t notice that his slippers “by themselves” (they are pulled by the threads) are quickly “leaving” from the stage. Having finished bowing, the clown looks for his slippers with his eyes. They are nowhere to be found! Covering his feet with a rug, he trotts off the stage in embarrassment. And at the same time he still tries to smile.
Blow out the candle
Blowing out a candle is nothing easier, but try blowing it out through a wide funnel, blowing into it through the narrow end, or through a paper tube folded into a pound. If you have a candle right in front of the middle of the tube, it will be completely impossible to blow out the candle. The flame, despite all the efforts, still stands and does not even waver. Try to place the funnel so that it is at the edge of it, and the flame will immediately go out. This happens because the streams of air coming out of the mouth pass through the narrow part of the funnel and dissipate in its wide part, then they go along the walls of the funnel and bypass the candle flame. If the flame is level with the edge of the funnel, then the same stream of air blows it out. This trick will seem interesting and strange to the audience.
Glass on paper
Place two glasses on the table at some distance from one another (the glasses should not be heavy). Give the audience a piece of paper and ask them to place a third glass on top of the paper placed on the glasses. No one will believe that a thin piece of paper can withstand the weight of a glass placed on it. To do this trick, you need to fold a sheet of paper like an accordion, and the glass will stand.
Guessing the date of birth
The host of the holiday can perform this trick with the audience. He addresses the audience: “Do you want me to find out the date of birth of each of you? Have someone come to me... Please multiply by 2 the number when you were born. Add 5 to the result, and multiply this amount by 50. Now add the serial number of the month you were born and name the resulting number. Having learned this number, the presenter immediately names the day and month of birth. The secret of the trick: from the number named by the viewer you need to subtract 250. You will get a three-digit or four-digit number in which one or two first digits are the birthday, and the last two are the month.
Transformation of tea
In one glass - “milk” (potato starch shaken in water). In another glass - “tea” (a few drops of iodine in half a glass of water). Liquid from one glass is poured into another and “ink” is obtained. You can even write on paper with them. Viewers can try their drawing skills by taking a brush and drawing something on a blank sheet of whatman paper or cardboard.
Living water
On a blank piece of paper, the child draws the outline of a flower with a simple pencil, then waters it with water. And then the plant gradually blooms (becomes colorful).
The secret of the trick: take white paper and place a cardboard stencil of a flower on it. Fill the entire volume of the flower with bright red aniline powder, temporarily covering the rest of it. Cover the leaf and stem with green aniline powder. Without removing the stencil, carefully blow everything off the paper. In places where there was powder, tiny particles of paint will remain unnoticeable. On the back side of the sheet, where the child will later draw a flower, mark the outline with barely noticeable dots. When showing, water should be poured slowly, from the side of the stem. The water will make the paper wet, and the paint through it will gradually color the flower!
Magic vase
And you've probably seen this trick more than once. The magician takes a vessel with a narrow neck and lowers the end of a rope into it, first showing the audience that the rope “goes in and out” freely. He then turns the vessel upside down, and the rope continues to hang, held in the vessel by some mysterious force. The magician grabs the rope with his hands, turns the vase over to its normal position, lets go, and it swings on the rope like a pendulum. What kind of strange force tied the rope and the vase so tightly?
Finally, the magician casts a spell, the “force” releases the rope, and it freely, effortlessly comes out of the neck of the vessel. What? Is there some secret in the vase? Please look for yourself and see for yourself, turn it in your hands: just a vase and just a rope, nothing special!
And the secret of this trick is very simple. And the baby can handle it quite well. Only here he cannot do without the help of mom or dad, because our vessel must first be prepared. We, of course, deceived our viewers that there was no secret. It is there, as in any trick. So, it is convenient to use a glass ketchup bottle with a narrow neck or any other suitable container as a magic vessel. The rope needs to be thick and rigid, about half a meter or less long (the child should be able to handle it comfortably).
The neck diameter should be larger diameter ropes approximately doubled. Make a glass bottle opaque by painting it with paint (for example, acrylic) and decorating it with magical patterns. Now comes the most important part. You will need a small rubber ball with a diameter slightly larger than half the inside diameter of the neck. The ball can also be cut from a bottle cap. It drops into the bottle and remains there throughout the entire trick. You may need to experiment with different sizes ball so that the focus is perfect.
So what happens during a magic trick? The young magician shows the audience a bottle and a rope, then shows that the rope fits freely into the neck of the bottle and comes out just as easily. After that, he lowers the rope into the bottle to the very bottom and slowly (this is important) turns the bottle upside down. The bottle should be held in one hand and the rope in the other. The ball rolls into the neck between the rope and the wall of the bottle. Now you need to slightly pull the rope to properly secure the structure, and then slowly release it.
Akhalay-makhalay! The rope doesn't fall. The magician then grabs the rope with his hand, slowly turns the bottle over and lets go. And now she is already swinging on a rope. The ball still prevents the rope from slipping out. To eliminate " magical power", just push the rope deep into the bottle.
The ball will fall to the bottom, and the rope will easily come out. To enhance the effect, you can invite the audience to examine the rope and bottle for “magic” and try to repeat the trick themselves. Have one of the spectators pull the rope out of the neck. Then the magician turns the bottle over, as if showing the audience its bottom, while in the meantime he hides the ball that has rolled out of the neck in his hand. That's it, now the bottle can be given to the audience for scrupulous examination. It is clear that no one can repeat the trick.
The show begins! Spectacular appearance
Once your young illusionist has a few tricks well rehearsed, you can think about a real home show. Write a script for the performance together with your child, think about the costume, lighting, musical arrangement. The costume will depend on the role the child chooses. If he wants to be a wizard, then a long, wide robe embroidered with stars will suit him. Or maybe he will represent a gnome or another fairy tale character. Then you need to dress accordingly. And of course, don’t forget about the magic wand, which can be made from an ordinary wooden stick, wrapped in foil and decorated.
To impress the audience, arrange a spectacular start to your show: the Great Magician and Wizard appears in the room in the most mysterious way.
For this trick you will need a large carton(for example, from a TV) that a child can fit into.
The mother and the baby will make a house out of it. Cover the box with colored paper or paint it. On one side we will draw or glue windows and doors, and on the other we will carefully cut out a secret “door” through which the artist can crawl. Separately, we will make a removable roof for our house from cardboard. We will place a table in the room, covered with fabric to the floor, and at a short distance from it we will place our house “facing” the audience.
Between the table and the house we will temporarily place a roof from the house, blocking the gap. Your young Copperfield crawls under the table and quietly waits there for the right moment. Everything is ready. Spectators enter the “hall”. Mom, in the role of entertainer, reports that the famous illusionist will appear any minute, lifts the house, showing that it is empty, and puts it in place. After this, the “artist” very carefully crawls from under the table, under the roof, into the house.
Mom lifts the roof, showing that there is nothing between the house and the table, and puts the roof on the house. Now you need to say the magic words, remove the roof, and your little Magician and Sorcerer effectively appears from the house. Then he demonstrates his art to the audience, making sure to leave some interesting trick in case he is called for an encore.
Or maybe you will arrange a whole family performance for your guests? After all, mom or dad can also learn a few amusing tricks and perform together with their little one. Are you ready? So, eni-beni-raba! An incredible, magical performance begins!

Hello again!
Sergey Kulikov, aka Sailor, is in touch with you again!
I think that based on the title of our article today, you guessed that it will be devoted to several tricks with a coin. And that these tricks are really simple, and any beginner can do them!
Despite the fact that it is necessary to train very carefully before performing absolutely any trick, these same tricks do not require such rigorous preparation. You just need to know the secret and rehearse it in front of the mirror for about five minutes.
So let's move on to our tricks!
Trick number one!
If you try to describe it verbally, it will look something like this. We show the viewer a coin that we hold with the fingers of our left hand. Next, take this coin into your right hand.
After a few seconds we show the viewer that this coin has disappeared!
But absolutely all tricks with coins are subject to the rule of “prestige”, which states that if something has disappeared from somewhere, then it must appear somewhere!
And this coin will appear in a very unexpected place! We'll blow her nose! Yes, yes! It will appear right from our nose!
Demonstration and training
The technique with which this trick is done is called the “French drop”, or “French drop”.

Demonstrating miracles to others, mastering the art of magic, being a magician - everyone dreamed of this. And not only because it will make you stand out from the crowd and add zest to your daily life or make it popular. However, because the magician conceals special power within himself, he knows how to bewitch people. How to learn to do magic tricks? You just need to train and show a little artistry!
How to learn to do simple tricks?
Anyone can usually learn simple magic tricks, even a child. To do this, you need to find out the secret of the trick, carefully rehearse it and show it to others. Professionals often use complex props that have been prepared for them in advance. individual order. However, for ordinary tricks, you can take what is at hand: pins, matches, handkerchiefs or coins.
The trick we are going to tell you about now is called “Match and Pin”. Its essence is that the audience is shown a pin, on the sharp part of which a match has been strung perpendicularly. Then the illusionist pretends that he is trying to spin the match around the pin, but, of course, it rests on the other side of the pin and cannot pass. Those around make sure that there are no cuts on the match and it is impossible to turn it. At the same moment, the illusionist makes a lightning-fast movement and still spins the match through the pin.
The secret of this trick is very simple. When you heat the match with a pin, you need to twist it well back and forth so that the hole opens up and the match turns freely. When you perform the trick, you need to sharply twist the match. Naturally, it will not pass through the pin, but it will spin in the other direction. Nobody will notice this from the outside - the effect will be as if a match had passed through a pin.
Interesting fact:
Georg Nagel, a famous magician, performed his program in Paris. He performed a trick that created the illusion of piercing a finger with a nail. The secret of this trick is in the art of bewitching those around you so that no one notices the substitution. During the performance, the audience surrounded the magician in a very dense ring; Nagel could not decide to show this trick. And those around him wanted to see him. As a result, the magician had to really pierce his finger with a nail - at the same time, despite the pain, he smiled and pretended that it was just an illusion. This is what a magician is ready to do, if he is dedicated to his work!
There are many interesting and, at the same time, simple tricks with coins and playing cards. You will learn about them below.
An unfading, timeless classic is the card guessing trick. The spectator chooses any card. Then he places it in the middle of the deck and shuffles. The illusionist's task is to find this card. This is quite easy to do. You just need to remember the adjacent card - then the card that will follow it will be the hidden one.
Transformation of a card. There is nothing complicated in this trick, but it is necessary to carry out training that develops finger dexterity. So, you need to take the deck and show the card to the spectator. Then turn the deck over so it is face down and throw the desired card on the table. There will be a card of a different value and a different suit on the table.
The secret of this transformation is that the penultimate card should be thrown out of the deck, and not the one at the very end. To do this, sneak your index finger under the two cards. At the same time thumb hold the card that the audience saw. The middle, ring and little fingers should be released so that the card can easily fly out of the deck. Finally, with your index finger, quietly and quickly draw another card from the deck.
First, try learning the one-coin trick. Place the coin in your palm and use your other hand to act as if you were holding a coin. At this moment, the main thing is to depict the moment of shifting as realistically as possible. To do this, bend your fingers slightly so that the viewer does not notice that the coin remains in the same hand. Do the imaginary grip casually, only touching your palm with your fingers without strong grasping or pinching movements. So, it seems to everyone that the coin is now in the other hand, open it and show the viewer that it is empty, that is, the coin has disappeared. Now you can get it from any other place, for example, from behind your shoulder or from behind a friend’s ear. If you get good at it, you will be able to see how delighted others will be with this trick, because the effect is created as if a coin appears out of thin air.
Well, of course, if you master this trick, you can easily cope with several coins. The 3-coin trick, like the others, looks like real magic, although it is very simple. Show the viewer one coin, which will be held between two fingers; it should be shown from all possible angles so that everyone can be sure that there is only one coin. Then the illusionist must throw it on the table, but there will be 3 coins on the table.
As in the previous trick, in this trick you need to take all 3 coins correctly and not make a mistake during the demonstration. Clamp two of them in parallel between the large and index fingers, and one – perpendicular. The perpendicular coin will cover the rest, which should not be visible due to the index and thumb. They can only be seen from one angle, which should be avoided during demonstration. So, the audience sees only the last coin, and all 3 are thrown onto the table.
Important:
Performing a trick perfectly is only possible after careful rehearsals and training. If you show a “raw” trick, 90% are likely to be figured out. In addition, never reveal the secret of the trick or talk about what will happen next - you should not give in to provocations. Otherwise, interest in the number will be lost.
Follow these simple rules and remember what is important for all illusionists is artistry. Come up with special special effects like magic spells or magical gestures, play with the audience, and also have a little faith in what you are doing. Then the audience will definitely believe you.
