Easy and interesting tricks. Magic tricks for kids

Probably, more than once you were amazed at the performances of famous illusionists, who make monuments disappear, objects fly and objects appear out of nowhere. Perhaps you have a childhood impression of a magician with a rabbit in an empty top hat. And, of course, everyone who has seen all of the above would certainly like to learn how to do at least a small miracle! Especially for such people, I wrote this article, in which I will reveal to readers of MirSovetov several secrets of popular and at the same time simple tricks, some of them were made with sleight of hand, and some with simple props.

Rules of a real magician

Before you start studying the material below, be sure to read these rules, they will greatly help you in your presentations.

1. Never reveal the secret of a trick. Perhaps the most important rule, since the viewer will immediately lose interest in you as a magician. The viewer can give his guesses, assumptions, or say specifically what the secret is, but you should not enter into an argument with the viewer, but show that this is just his opinion.
2. Rehearse each trick carefully until it works ten out of ten times. A mirror will also be a very good helper for you, try to show yourself several times, think over the words, speech and gestures with which you will present the whole action.
3. Never say what will happen in the next moment. The viewer can guess where to look and what to follow. And for the same reason, never repeat the same trick twice, even if you are very strongly asked.

These rules are the code of any professional magician. In particular, due to the first price, professional props cost a lot of money, since a secret gives a greater cost ( intellectual property). Only by observing all three rules, you will achieve the desired effect and remain a real magician for the viewer.

Most card tricks have two parts: the spectator selects a card, and then the magician performs some magical action on his card.
To begin with, let the spectator take any card in the deck, remember it, show it to other spectators, if any. The spectator then returns the card to the deck. The easiest way to find the spectator's card is the key card (the card that lies next to the spectator's one). I use a simple technique to find out the key card: I remove the deck, ask the spectator to put the card down and cover the card with the stack with the card I looked at.

The deck can be slightly shuffled defiantly and ask the viewer, say, to remove the deck (when removing the deck this method works 100%). Then we turn the deck facing us, with the back to the audience, and we find that the viewer has made a four of spades.

The following actions will serve to turn an arbitrary card into a spectator card. In the professional language of magicians, this technique is called a shift (glide). Place the spectator's card second from the bottom.

We show the viewer the bottom card. The spectator says that we made a mistake, this is not his card.

Then we turn the deck with a shirt and pretend that we take out this particular card (view from the viewer).
In fact, we perform a secret move and take out the second card from the bottom. To do this, slightly move the bottom card back with your fingers.

Next, holding the spectator's card (he thinks that this is not his card), wave it slightly in the air, and turn it over, the spectator sees that the other card has turned into his chosen one.

The effect of the focus can be greatly enhanced, for example, before the final display, rub the card on the viewer's clothes (say: "You have a magic jacket," etc.). You can also put the card on the table, cover it with some object (deck, glass, wallet) and make a couple of magical passes, or even better ask the viewer to cover the card with your hand, then the delight from the trick will increase significantly.

The appearance of a card out of nowhere

This trick will require much more practice than the previous one, and can be used as a standalone trick or as an element for the appearance of the spectator's card. The effect is quite bright, the magician first shows an empty one, then a card appears out of nowhere on it.



The corners of the cards of the narrow edge of the card are sandwiched between the index and middle fingers, ring and little fingers.

Hold the card in this way and fully straighten your palm, making sure that the corners of the cards are not visible at first glance. So, as we begin the emergence, first learn to do the whole movement SLOWLY. First of all, we bend all four fingers, as shown in the figure above. Happened? Fine! Now press the card with your thumb on top.

And we straighten four fingers, holding the card itself with the thumb. Voila! And the card appeared in your palm.

“How difficult it is,” you might think, but after a week of short workouts, you will start to succeed. You can practice this movement even while watching TV.
For this movement, the opposite also exists: we hold the card on the phalanxes of 4 fingers, pressing the thumb from above, bend the fingers so that they are under the card, spread the little finger and index finger (as the “new Russians” do), press the corners and straighten the fingers. The map will be back side palms and ready to appear.
To practice both movements, video will help you (it is better to shoot at least with a digital camera).

Many professional magicians use a combination of appearance-disappearance. In particular, the card can be taken out not only from the air, but, say, from behind the viewer's ear.

Passing a rubber band through your finger

This is a very simple trick, but also based on sleight of hand. All preparations must be done quickly, but can be done without problems in front of the viewer.
Initial position: pull the elastic band over thumb left hand and big and forefinger right hand.

With the bent middle finger of the left hand, we reach the top of the elastic band and pull it down.

Next, we put the thumb of the left hand under the elastic band between the index and thumb of the right hand.

And we delay right hand up.

At the same time, you will feel that the middle finger of your left hand has tightened the loop. She is the secret of this trick. Practice shows that if you practice, you can pull out the middle finger, eliminating the viewer's doubt that you are holding something (see the figure above). In this case, the loop itself will not bloom due to the tension of the elastic band and will look like this (view from below):

Next, slightly relax the gum (you can imitate the movement, as if you were sawing your finger with a rubber band). And the rubber band goes through it.

The effect of the trick can be enhanced by asking the viewer to hold your thumb after you make the secret loop. You can also ask the viewer to also wind the second rubber band around their finger, while the viewer, without thinking twice and seeing the final position, will simply make a coil around the finger. Of course, the rubber band will not pass through the viewer's finger.

Banknote transformation

Nothing touches the heart of the viewer like money tricks. Most popular focus This is the transformation of a bill of one denomination into a bill of another denomination. For the trick, we need two not expensive bills (I use toy money).

We fold both bills 8 times (the fold lines were shown with handles). I draw the attention of MirSovetov readers to the fact that you first need to fold the bill twice along the length, and then along the width.

Then we glue the bills in a square from the fold, as shown in the photo:

When folded it looks like this:

Let's start the demonstration (don't forget about the second rule of the magician). We show the viewer a regular banknote.

Note that I covered the part where I have the second bill hiding, because otherwise its shadow would be visible.
Let's put it together:

With the last gesture, you should cover the entire bill with your left hand, while turning the bill over with your right hand. This is followed by the unfolding and demonstration of the second bill.

You can use a playful version of this trick. Let the props, say, from 50 and 10 ruble bills lie in your left pocket, and 10 rubles lie in your right pocket. “Can anyone in the audience lend me 50 rubles?” You ask the audience. Someone lends you his 50 rubles, and you defiantly put them in your left pocket. The audience reaction is 99% laughter. Then, having laughed it off, you take out the requisite 50r and turn them into 10. You can also defiantly put 10r in your right pocket, saying that you have problems with money, and when the viewer demands the banknotes back, get it and give him the usual 10 rubles. Of course, at the end you need to return 50 rubles.

I hope you enjoyed my article and found it useful. May you not become famous illusionists, but you can always make a small decoration for any corporate or home holiday and impress friends and family.

Many parents want their child to develop mentally with the help of educational games, cartoons, performances. However, tricks can also develop mindfulness, dexterity and quick wits in a child.

Tricks can be learned even at home by arranging a small performance with the participation of a child. He will surprise all guests with his ability to work miracles.

A bottle of MountainDew sparkling water is glowing!

It is already clear from the name that the bottle containing sparkling water will glow. It is only necessary to carry out a few simple chemical reactions so that the liquid in the vessel can emit light. The effect will be incredible, as the light is so bright that it resembles a lit light bulb.

Would need:

• MountainDew is a bottle of soda.
• Plain soda.
• Hydrogen peroxide solution.

There is speculation that MountainDew soda has become less popular because of its ability to glow.

1. To do this trick, you need to take a bottle of sparkling water. Three-quarters of the water must be poured out altogether, and the rest left.
2. The next step is to put a little baking soda, somewhere one teaspoon, you can with a slide.
3. Then add hydrogen peroxide, about 3 bottle caps. Then close the container and shake vigorously.
   The longer you shake the bottle, the more noticeable the effect becomes.
4. The liquid in the vessel begins to glow. From glowing water you can try to make different symbols, pictures, words. To do this, you just need to open the bottle and pour it on any surface so that the image comes out. This trick will work only in the dark.

You need to be careful that the liquid does not get on the surface of the skin, as well as in the eyes and inside.

The button can float in sparkling water

To carry out this magic, you need to take ordinary sparkling water and small size button. Pour the mineral water into a glass and put a button there. It turns out that she is drowning. Where are the miracles? And everything will go on.

Then, as soon as the button is in the vessel, you need to move your palm over it and say the following words: "Button, up." She will rise. And once again you need to hold your palm over the glass and say: "Button, down." She'll be down again.

The secret of this trick is simple:

1. When the button is located at the very bottom, small bubbles form near it. When there are enough of them, they will push the button to the surface.
2. As soon as the button pops up, the bubbles disappear, and then it comes back again. This process will continue until the gas water loses its ability to release gas.

In order for this trick to work, you need to thoroughly practice before showing it. It is necessary to calculate the time when you need to give a command to the button. Without pre-training focus may fail. Watch a video of a trick for children at home:

Simple and interesting magic tricks for children and their parents

The balloon that can't burst

The magician needs to take balloon, inflate it and pierce through with a knitting needle. Surprisingly, the ball did not burst.

The child must show the audience that this ball is normal, and then pierce it with a thin needle. The balloon bursts immediately.

You will need a knitting needle, the main thing is that it be thin and long. After that, you should stick a little tape on the ball on both sides. Before showing the magic, it is best to practice piercing the ball exactly in those places where the adhesive tape is fixed. This must be done quickly and carefully.

If the spoke hits the stretched rubber, the balloon can easily burst.

The magical power of the bottle swallowed the rope

The child needs to take a vessel that has a narrow neck. A rope is lowered into it (not completely). The magician must show that the rope can enter the vessel as easily as it can exit. After that, it is necessary to turn the vessel upside down.

Viewers will see the rope hanging, as if something is holding it inside. The magician must take hold of the rope, while turning the vase over, let go and swing the vessel back and forth. Then the magician pronounces magic words, the twine calmly comes out of the neck. How could this happen?

To make the effect even better, you can ask the audience to try this trick themselves. You can let them touch the bottle, check the rope. You can show guests the bottom. While they are examining it, you need to discreetly pick up the rolled out ball. After that, it’s not scary to show the inside of the vase.

After that, the child should put the pencil in the side pocket, and the end of the thread with the help of a needle should be squeezed through the fabric of the jacket.

Why a pencil? Because when the children ask to see the contents of the pocket, they will see only an ordinary pencil there. It will distract guests from thinking that threads can be wound not only on a spool. In addition, the pencil does not stand out so much in the pocket, unlike the reel.

And I bet you can't blow out the candle?!

Everyone can blow out a candle, but is it possible to do this if you have to blow through a funnel. The funnel is wide, and its end is narrow - it will be difficult to carry out this action. Especially when the candle is in the middle of the funnel, then blowing out the candle will be generally unrealistic. Even if you apply all your lung strength, the flames will not sway.

However, there is a way by which the candle goes out easily. It is important to know the location where you want to put a candle. It is necessary to place the funnel so that the flame is at the edge of the funnel, and not in the middle. The candle will immediately go out. Why does this happen?

When air exits through a narrow tube through a wide opening, it never enters the middle.

Before exiting, the air is dispersed along the walls of the vessel, so the air can only enter the flame located at the edges of the funnel. Focus will surprise all viewers with its magical feature. It's just a law of physics though.

Thin sheet capable of holding a glass

1. The magician needs to put two vessels on the table, for example, glasses. They should be placed at some distance from each other. No need to choose heavy glasses, this will make it difficult to perform the trick.
2. Next, the young wizard should hand the guests an ordinary white sheet and ask them to put it on the glasses, and put a third glass on top of it.
3. Let the guests see for themselves that this is the most ordinary sheet and ordinary glasses. But the audience is at a loss, since it is impossible to do this action, since the weight of the glass is much greater than the weight of an ordinary sheet of paper.
4. Then the young wizard folds the paper like an accordion, and the glass easily rests on the surface. A very simple and tricky way to cheer and amaze the audience.

Effective magic tricks for children of all ages

How to turn ordinary tea into ink?

Milk should be poured into one vessel, and tea should be in the other glass. But this is only for children, they should not be allowed to try the liquids in the glasses.

Instead of milk, you need to mix starch with water, you get a white liquid, similar to milk. And instead of tea - mix water and a few drops of iodine.

The magician needs to demonstrate the contents in the glasses and pour the liquid from one into another. You will get something like ink. You can invite guests to draw something on any surface with the resulting mixture or hold a competition for the best drawing.

How to pierce the ball so that it remains intact?

Before a true magician gets down to business, the presenter should invite the audience to pierce a balloon filled with air with a pencil. Of the children, no one manages to keep the ball intact.

They are convinced that it will not work to pierce it without consequences. But the magician can do miracles, so he will do it with ease.

The child will need Matchbox, or rather his case. The young wizard must fill the balloon with air through it. Then pierce the matchbox, and then the ball itself. Children will see that he remained safe and sound.

Inflate a balloon without the help of lips

Before showing the wonders of the trick, you need to ask the audience to inflate the balloon so that the lips and pumps are not involved. Guests cannot complete the task in any way, no matter how hard they try to do it. But there is only one person who can show a master class and this is a magician.

For focus, you need a normal glass bottle, you need to put a balloon on it. Then put the vessel in hot water, after about two minutes have passed, the ball will begin to increase.

Why is this happening? The bottle begins to heat up, respectively, the air also becomes warm. When it heats up, it expands and is forced out of the bottle, accumulating in a ball.

As soon as the bottle cools, the ball returns to its original shape.

Incredible, the balloon can inflate on its own

1. Again, the host asks the guests to fill the balloon with air without the help of lips. The young wizard must take already plastic bottle and pour vinegar into it, about half a glass (adults should look after).
2. Five teaspoons of baking soda are placed in the ball. Put a ball on the neck of the bottle. When the soda is poured into the bottle, the balloon inflates on its own.

Why is this happening? In this focus, as in the previous one, a chemical reaction takes place. When soda combines with vinegar, carbon dioxide is released, which is why the balloon is filled with it.

Magic tricks for children at home will be very educational for both children and their parents.

And it is unusual in that it can be used to win disputes! Yes Yes! AT right hands this trick will be a powerful weapon! In addition, it can be shown with a deck of 36 cards. Plus, it's incredibly lightweight. Absolutely anyone can repeat it after a couple of days of training.

Together, we get the trick that anyone with absolutely any deck of cards can perform at absolutely any time! Just the perfect trick!

So, before showing the trick, we can give the viewer a deck to mix it up as he pleases. This is another plus of the trick. There is absolutely no charge and no preliminary preparation!

• turn a small part of the deck face up
• let's start flipping through the deck and the first two cards that will lie face down will be the spectator's cards

The viewer needs, of course, to remember these cards. After that, we will remove them to the center of the deck, and thoroughly mix the deck.

Another huge plus of this trick is that after we put the spectator's cards into the deck, the spectator himself can shuffle the cards!

This is simply the greatest advantage of any trick at all. In this way, viewers are convinced that their card cannot be found in any way.

Now we will use one very interesting way finding the spectator's cards: we will scroll through the decks and we will remove some cards either to the center or to the bottom of the deck, or leave them at the top.

Here is such a very strange and unusual way but it is fully functional!

After that, mix the deck again a couple of times.

We show the viewer one card, which lies at the bottom of the deck. It must be her! But the viewer says it's not! Hm strange. Okay, let's put it on the table for now.

Let's try again. And again, it's not her! Yes, how so? Let's put it on the table too.

Finally, we will show him the last card, in the hope that at least we will guess with it. But it wasn't there, unfortunately.

And at this moment, the viewer understands that he will 100% win the dispute, because we never found his card. Well, that's why we'll have to use the power of magic. We ask him what cards he memorized. We snap a finger, turn over those cards that are on the table and ... these are they !!!

This is just a powerful blow to the mind of the viewer. After all, he saw how we put completely different cards on the table!

Tricks with such a “crap” effect simply take out the brain of absolutely any viewer. But the trick is also incredibly simple and anyone can repeat it. So I advise you to learn it and become the most interesting person in your company tomorrow!

And the trick is based on one of the simplest card techniques. It is called "shift", in the original "glide".

Shift Training

Demonstration and teaching focus

I strongly recommend that absolutely every card tricker learn this trick, because its effect will simply blow the mind of anyone. And if you want to win some kind of argument, and even do it gracefully, then this is an even greater reason to learn and train it.

Its effect is very similar to our trick today, only it does not use the entire deck, but only four cards. Specifically - four Aces!

Briefly describe, we offer the viewer to choose a card, after which we lose it in the deck. Then we show the viewer four Aces, and after clicking one of the Aces turns into the viewer's card!

Well, that's all I have for today! These are the interesting tricks we have today and their secrets!

Sergei Kulikov, aka Sailor, was in touch with you!

From time to time, people appear on TV screens doing amazing things. In their hands is an ordinary wooden stick passes through thick glass, and multi-colored tennis balls appear out of nowhere and just as suddenly disappear. A deck of cards in skillful hands turns into an endless series of exciting puzzles that you don’t have time to solve - so quickly one trick is replaced by another. Trying to unravel the secrets leaves no other way but to learn the magic tricks on your own. But remember that this exciting activity is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

Tricks with cards

The spread of popularity is explained, first of all, by the availability of props necessary for showing. It's easy to learn - you buy a playing deck, and the fun begins.

Props: Card deck.

external effect. One of the spectators shuffles the cards and makes sure that the deck contains no secrets. After dividing the deck of cards into 4 parts, invite three spectators to choose and remember one card from the three parts of the deck. Hold the fourth part in your hands. The deck is assembled again, and a randomly selected spectator deals cards one at a time into 3 equal piles, according to the number of hidden cards. The number of cards to be laid out is chosen arbitrarily, but their number in each pile must be the same. The cards chosen by the spectators are placed on top of each pile. Then the deck is connected. Having offered the audience to remove the deck several times, the magician makes a circular layout and names the cards chosen by the audience.

Focus Secret in the fourth pile, which remained in the hands of the performer during the selection of cards by 3 participants. Memorize the first card from the part of the deck that is left in your hand. When building a deck, place the piece with the card you know on top. When further laid out, it will be at the bottom. Then, when folding the deck, after the spectators put their cards on each pile, it will be located above the first of them. Dealing cards in a circle, expect yours to appear. The next card, and every fourth card after it, will be those chosen by the spectators.

Tricks with coins

Before you learn how to show tricks, determine the audience you are going to impress. For home shows, tricks using familiar objects are suitable.

Props: coin and matchbox.

external effect. Show an empty matchbox, open it, close it, shake it to confirm that it is empty. Reopen and carefully remove the metal coin from the inner compartment. Give the coin and box to the audience for inspection.

Focus Secret consists in the fact that the coin is hidden in advance between the moving part and the top cover. When pulling out the inside for inspection, discreetly hold the coin with your finger and press it against the upper stationary part of the box. When closing the box, release the coin and it will fall inside. After that, open the box and demonstrate the appearance of a metal coin that appeared there.

Table tricks

Creating a simple illusion is not difficult, you just need to know how. The simplest tricks help to learn tricks, on the example of which a novice magician learns the basics of working with improvised props.

Props: a bowl of water and talc.

external effect. The illusionist pours tap water into a bowl of water. Ask someone from the audience to do this procedure - this way the audience will have no doubt that the water and the bowl do not contain secrets. Ask the audience if it is possible to submerge your hand in liquid and not get it wet. The answer is obvious, and everyone can try to do it. But the magician dips his hand into the water, and it remains absolutely dry.

The secret of the trick consists of a colorless powder of talc, which is used to treat the hand. Not a single drop of water will linger on the magician's hand, immersed in liquid. It seems that the illusionist in the truest sense of the word managed to get away with it. Instead of talc, if desired, try using zinc stearic. It has enhanced water repellency.

Tricks with ropes

After you managed to overcome the first steps in the art of illusion and learn how to try to make special props yourself.

Props: rope with a secret.

external effect. The magician shows the audience a thick rope and wonders if it can be made to take a vertical position. For the experiment, a spectator is invited, who checks the rope and tries to complete the task. Then the magician takes over. He ties a knot at one end and stretches the rope vertically. Releases the top edge (with the knot) and the cord stays firmly on the hand in a vertical position. A light blow to the center of the rope - it falls off and becomes soft again.

Focus Secret is in a specially prepared rope. From any thick cord, internal synthetic threads are removed, which serve as a filler. The vacated space is filled with wooden cylinders, dressed on strong thread or fishing line. The size of the cylinders corresponds inner diameter ropes. The length is 25-30 mm. For a thin curtain cord, cylinders made from a round pencil with a previously removed lead are suitable. The number of cylinders depends on the length of the rope they fill. On the one hand, the fishing line with the cylinders is attached to the edge of the rope, and on the other hand, a circle is attached to it, which protects the cylinders from slipping. The length of the fishing line and cylinders is slightly less than the length of the rope. Due to this, in the free state, the cord retains softness and elasticity.

Having tied a knot on the side with the line attached, the illusionist with the other hand, through the soft braid of the cord, forces the cylinders inside the rope to move close to each other. On this basis, the outer sheath of the rope will take a rigid vertical position. Striking the cord and relaxing his fingers, the magician releases the inner cylinders and the rope falls freely.

Tricks with scarves

Learning tricks at home is not difficult - the amateur magician's repertoire includes tricks that do not require large boxes or complex mechanisms.

Props: handkerchief and matches.

external effect. The sorcerer shows a handkerchief. Viewers see that it is empty and does not hide any secrets. The handkerchief is spread on the table and a match is placed in the center, which the public pre-examines. The magician folds the handkerchief in such a way as to hide the match. Then he passes the folded weave to the viewer, asks him to feel for the match and break it in several places. He takes the handkerchief, puts it on the table and unfolds it. In the center, viewers see a match that has remained intact.

Focus Secret consists in the second match, previously placed in the side seam of the scarf. When demonstrating props, the magician holds the fabric at the corner in which the second match is hidden. Folding the scarf and hiding a real match, the illusionist places the corner of the scarf in the middle of the fabric, in which there is a “bookmark”. It is her viewer who probes through the fabric and breaks it. Naturally, when the handkerchief is unfolded, a whole and undamaged match is found in it.

Complex tricks using special props

For the first illusion session, you will have to make simple devices that will help you show fascinating tricks. The novice performer will not only have to learn how to learn magic tricks - get ready to become a designer of some of them.

Props. with a secret, notepad, pencil.

external effect. The performer demonstrates a small black board in wooden frame and says that this magic board can count. After that, he wraps it in a newspaper, seals it with tape and transfers it to the viewer for storage. Then he takes a notebook and a pencil and asks 4 spectators to write one five-digit number in a column. He tears out a sheet of numbers from a notebook and invites another viewer to calculate and write down the sum of the numbers below. Tears off half of the sheet with the result and leaves it with the audience. He cuts the tape along with the newspaper and shows a board on which a number written in chalk appeared. The audience checks the answer - the amount on the paper and on the board are the same.

Focus Secret lies in two details.

1. The slate board consists of two parts. The board itself is in a frame and an insert that is fitted to the internal size of the frame and covers the main part of the board. The outer part of the insert and the board are painted in the same black color. The second side of the insert is painted to match the tablecloth of the table on which the magician folds the props.
2. The notebook should have a cover without a picture and be easy to open from either side.

On the first page of the notebook, the magician writes 4 numbers in advance, calculates their sum and writes it down with chalk on slate board. From above, the answer is closed with an insert and outwardly the board looks clean. Having shown the board to the audience, the magician turns it away from the audience, puts it on a table and wraps it in a newspaper. At this moment, he drops the insert on the table and wraps up the board without showing the audience the front side with the written number. For reliability, the newspaper is fixed with adhesive tape, and the props are handed over to the audience.

The magician asks 4 different spectators to write down the numbers in a column on the blank side of the notebook. Moving on to the fifth viewer to calculate the amount, he turns the notebook over, tears out a sheet with pre-written numbers, the sum of which he invites the viewer to calculate. To prevent the deception from being revealed, the performer tears off part of the sheet with the amount and leaves it with the viewer. The other half, with the figures prepared in advance, he puts in his pocket. After that, he takes the board from the audience, removes the adhesive tape with the newspaper and shows the number written on the board in advance. Naturally, it coincides with the amount calculated by the viewer.

Applause! Astonishment! Mistrust! Delight! And endless questions about how to learn tricks at home are guaranteed to accompany the novice illusionist after such a spectacular final trick.

It is important not only to understand how to learn tricks. Follow the rules that will help build the program and profitably present the prepared tricks to the audience.

1. Carefully rehearse each trick in front of a mirror. Achieve the accuracy of gestures, confident work with props, prepare for possible surprises that lie in wait for you while performing in front of an audience.
2. Do not tell in advance what you are going to do. Knowing in advance what task you have set for yourself, the audience will closely follow you, and it will be difficult to divert their attention at the right time.
3. Don't do the same trick twice in the same presentation. When you watch it again, viewers who are aware of the end result of the trick will definitely try to uncover your secret.
4. Do not be persuaded and do not reveal the secrets of the tricks you are demonstrating. The focus, the secret of which is exposed, ceases to be amazing and mysterious, loses the aura of incomprehensible magic.

How to do tricks?

Surely anyone has ever been amazed by the performance of an illusionist who can make an object disappear, appear out of nowhere or even fly. Almost every child associates a magician with a rabbit from an empty top hat. Everyone who watched the clever tricks of a magician wanted to know their secret and learn at least simple tricks. In this article we will try to tell you how to learn how to do simple magic tricks with cards and coins.

Basic Rules for a Good Magician

• In no case do not reveal the secret of your focus. So the viewer's interest in your tricks will quickly fade away. Let the observer give his suggestions about the technique of the trick, but do not enter into an argument with him.
• Each trick must be carefully rehearsed. To do this, choose a mirror as your assistant. Try to show yourself the trick several times. If you have never made a mistake, then the trick is ready to be performed in public. Remember to carefully consider your gestures and speech.
• When performing a trick, you should not tell the viewer what should happen in the next moment. A quick-witted viewer will immediately recognize the technique of the trick. That is why it is not recommended to demonstrate focus twice.

Tricks with cards

Let's turn to several ways of tricks with cards. With such tricks, you can surprise children or friends by mastering them without leaving your home.

Guessing the spectator's card

To begin with, the spectator must choose any card from the deck, memorize it and put it back. And the magician, after performing some manipulations, needs to find it. The whole secret of the trick lies in the key card, located next to the card chosen by the spectator. The magician has the opportunity to peep at this card at the moment when the spectator returns his card back to the middle of the deck. The card should face up.

Then the deck is defiantly shuffled, and after shuffling the magician, looking through the shirts, looks for the key card and, accordingly, finds the one that the spectator pulled out.

The appearance of a map out of thin air

This trick requires maximum dexterity. It consists in the fact that the magician shows the audience a completely empty palm, and then makes a wave and a card is in his hand.

The main secret of focus is good finger training. After all, the corners of the smaller edge of the card are clamped between the index and middle fingers, the little finger and the ring finger. So with a straightened palm, the card will not be noticeable.

We demonstrate a clean palm so that the card clamped behind is not visible. Then with a sharp movement we bend four fingers to the palm, and fix the card on top with the thumb. We straighten our fingers and see that the card remains in the palm of our hand.

Using this technique, you can do the opposite trick with the disappearance of the card. True, you will have to train harder for such a trick.

Tricks with a coin

A coin is an item that can be found in the pocket of almost every person. Coin tricks are easy to learn if you take the time to practice.

Coin in a glass

For this trick you need a glass, a coin and a handkerchief 50x50 cm. The coin must be glued to the bottom of the glass. Pour water into a glass and show it to the audience. After that, cover the glass with a handkerchief and then sharply remove the handkerchief. Invite someone from the audience to look into the glass. So the viewer will be able to see the coin under water, which was not visible from the side.

bouncing coin

For the trick, you will need a two-liter bottle and a coin that matches the diameter of the bottle neck. Leave the bottle in for five minutes. freezer. After the bottle is removed, put a coin soaked in water on the opening of its neck. Upon contact with frozen plastic, the coin will bounce.

Working with an assistant

Put the coin on the table, covering it with a 30x30 cm handkerchief on top. Then you need to ask the audience to come up to you and check for the presence of a coin under the handkerchief. After that, shift the handkerchief from one hand to the other so that the coin disappears and the audience, convinced of its presence, should be surprised. Remove the coin from the pocket of the spectator, who is actually supposed to be your assistant. It is the assistant, who came last to check for the presence of the coin, who steals it unnoticed.

Coin in the center of the scarf

Sew two identical scarves together, sewing a coin into their center. Allow the spectator to choose a large coin from the offered handful. Place the coin in the center of the handkerchief spread out on the table. Then turn the handkerchief over and put an elastic band over it, squeezing the place under the coin. Start stretching the scarf around the corners so that the elastic eventually comes off. The coin should not fall, because when the handkerchief is turned over, it falls into your hand. A pre-sewn coin should remain in the scarf.
