Magic tricks attract the attention of viewers of all ages, because they demonstrate real magic in everyday life like nothing else. Tricks fascinate, intrigue, and after demonstrating them by a magician, you always want to unravel the secret, and even better, learn how to perform it yourself. The latter may not be easy, because magicians often use special props and hone their skills for years to amaze the audience.
However, there are many simple tricks that even a child can master. They do not require special training, it is enough to know a few secrets and practice before demonstrating to the audience. The ability to effectively surprise peers, and even adults, raises the self-esteem of the baby, and makes him more self-confident, which is especially important for shy children.
In addition, most simple magic tricks are based on physical or chemical laws, which allows you to introduce the child to science in a "magic" way.
Before you teach your baby a new trick, demonstrate it yourself. Explain the main secret - why it happens this way and not otherwise. Help your child master the trick. After a few workouts, you can perform in public!
And we offer you a series of 11 simple magic tricks for children, which will be a great start for a young illusionist.
It often happens that an uncut thread sticks out of clothes and spoils appearance interlocutor. The situation is especially unpleasant when there are no scissors at hand and then you can ask someone to cut the thread, citing dirty hands or your own clumsiness. What will be the surprise of the interlocutor when he pulls the thread and finds that it is infinitely long!
For focus we need: a needle, thread, short pencil. Instead of a pencil, you can use a whole spool of thread, but then the chances of the trick being revealed are greatly increased.
So, we wind a couple of meters of thread on a pencil in the color corresponding to the threads in your clothes. We put a pencil in the pocket and with the help of a needle we bring the end of the thread out to the place of the seam on the clothes. Preparation is over, you can go "ask for help."
This trick is best demonstrated during tea drinking. To do this, press a teaspoon, previously dipped in sweet tea, to the thumb and wait for the tea to dry a little. When dried, the sweet syrup will "glue" the spoon to your finger and it will hang confidently on it even when moving. You can also show this trick by sticking a spoon to your nose, chin and demonstrating the magical properties of your cutlery.
For the trick, we need an empty matchbox and any flat obstacle: a large book / folder / cutting board, etc.
First, we ask the guest to move the matchbox from its place without hands. This is easy to do by blowing on it. Now ask them to make sure that the box does not move away, but moves closer to you. If the guest is confused - show him a master class! We put a barrier behind the box and strongly blow not on the box, but on this barrier, a little higher than the box. The air stream will hit the barrier and come back, taking with it a light matchbox. In this way, the boxes will move towards you without the help of hands.
Focus with banana
With this trick, you can easily surprise the guests at the table, you just need to prepare a little. The bottom line is that you invite guests to clean whole banana. When the guest removes the peel, he finds a chopped banana inside.
To prepare, we need: a whole banana, a long needle and a little lemon juice.
We pierce the banana peel with a needle, and make several movements up and down with it, cutting through the soft inside of the banana. We do this several times, thereby cutting the banana into several parts. Then, we treat the peel puncture sites with lemon juice, otherwise they will darken and be noticeable. Preparatory work finished - you can surprise your guests!
Video instructions for cutting a banana with a needle:
Crawl through a piece of paper
Another riddle that you can ask your guests is about a piece of paper. After giving them an A4 paper and scissors, ask them to cut the paper in such a way that both a child and an adult can pass through it. Cutting inside the sheet will not work - the hole will be too small. However, cutting the sheet according to the scheme, you will get a huge ring through which anyone can pass.
To do this, fold the sheet across the width to make a long narrow rectangle and make cuts on both sides as for a children's garland. At the end, you will still need to cut the sheet at the place of the initial fold, leaving the edges intact (the beginning of the cut is at the location of the scissors in the photo). Now we unfold our sheet and get a huge "ring". Mission accomplished!
Matchbox in a balloon
It is rare that a children's birthday is complete without balloons. With a ball, you can also show a trick, and not only by piercing it with a needle, which we wrote about.
Say you have a magic matchbox that can penetrate balloon through its wall. To do this, inflate an ordinary balloon in front of the audience, without tying it, and press the matchbox tightly to its bottom. Now release the air from the balloon, remembering to press the boxes to the balloon all the time. When the balloon deflates, the audience will see that there is a box inside the deflated balloon. Put it on your hand and show everyone the result of magic. The most important thing is not to give it into your hands to consider what really happened, otherwise the secret will be revealed that hour.
Do you want to play with your child easily and with pleasure?
The box, of course, did not get inside. As it deflated, the stretched rubber wrapped around the matchbox on three sides, and if you don't look from below, it looks like the box is inside.
We will need 3 opaque cups, a small ball of napkin to match the color of the cup, and sleight of hand.
Demonstrate to the public a stack of cups, and place them in front of you upside down. Have someone else or roll up a small piece of tissue paper and place it on a medium glass. Now cover the middle glass with those nearby and say your favorite “magic words”. Raise a stack of glasses - a lump of napkin has passed through the bottom of the glass and lies on the table. You are a real magician! 
The secret is to put the same wad of napkin in the second cup before demonstrating the trick. So that the audience does not notice anything, the cups need to be turned over quickly - sudden movement hands. Thus, already at the beginning of the trick, under the second glass, there is a lump of napkin. It remains only to make sure that the second lump is similar to the first.
To be honest, until the last moment I doubted whether my daughter would be able to do this trick at the age of 4, but she did it wonderfully the second time. Therefore, you can safely show and teach your children such spectacular and simple tricks.
And a few more tricks from enthusiastic mothers.
Focus "Magic Water"
Idea: we decided that a clown magician will show a trick for my daughter. They turned on cheerful music, together with their daughter they called a clown. The clown (dad) came, said hello, played magical music, the clown took out a jar of water ... We examined it, after that the clown said magic words: “You are water - water, bright as frost, become water - water, not light, but ... green (red, blue)”, shook the jar and ... the water turned green (red, blue).
Necessary materials: glass jar with lid, gouache, water.
The technical part of the trick: pour water into the jar, spread gouache on the lid desired color, close the jar with a lid. The host shows the jar, paying attention that the water in it is clear, light. After that, he says "magic words" and shakes the jar, and the water turns the color of gouache.
The reaction of the clown daughter was frightened, so I had to show the rest of the trick myself. On the face of Alena there was surprise and a smile from how the water turned into a different color.
Salimova Olga and daughter Alena 2 years old. 4 months, Yekaterinburg.
I surprised my children with drawing on milk. Anya has already tried this method, but as it turned out, she completely forgot.
We will need:
- plate with milk;
- diluted food coloring;
- liquid dishwashing detergent;
- shelves for drawing (optional).
We drip dyes of different colors into a plate with milk and observe how the paint spreads. You can draw a little with a stick (I recommend for older children and it is important that there is no intense mixing, otherwise all beauty will disappear), but even without this, they will appear in the plate beautiful patterns.
At the end of the process, drip liquid soap, or dip cotton swab in soap and put into a bowl. And see the magic! The paint scatters from the soap drop, as if by magic. You can add dyes one or two more times. Paper can be lowered into the final spills and paint can be printed on it.
Kudryashova Nadezhda and children: Anya 4 years 6 months. and Misha 1 year 5 months, St. Petersburg.
For the experiment, I took a saucer of water, a piece of white paper napkin, on which I drew squares with colored felt-tip pens. When you dip a napkin into water, the water begins to rise up due to the capillary effect - colored paths appear, a beautiful rainbow. They explained to my daughter that some water ran up the colored paths.

Magic tricks with ice for kids
We carried out. I froze water in a candy box, very nice cubes with a flower turned out. At first, my daughter did not understand what it was, she actively touched it, showed that it was cold. Then she began to try - to take it in her mouth and take it back out. Then we tried to paint the cubes with gouache with fingers and a brush. And at the end of the experiment, sprinkled with salt to melt the ice. Naturally, I didn’t have the patience to wait, but I really liked clapping my hands on the melted water.
Did you like magic tricks for kids? Save it to your wall social network and prepare the magician's number for the next holiday!
Who doesn't love magic tricks? Everyone loves tricks - both adults and children. Because the focus is a little magic that, if desired and able, you can do it yourself. Of course, this business is not as simple as it seems at first glance, so for starters, the tricks should be as simple as possible. But that doesn't make them less effective! We've put together magic tricks that you can show your little ones or help your child learn on their own - especially for little magicians! The most important thing in this matter is to learn the magic spell: "hocus pocus alle op!" All! Now everything will definitely work!
Piggy bank book
And this is not a simple piggy bank, but a magical one - there are more and more coins in it! We put five coins on the page of the book, close the book, do not forget about the spell. We open the book - ten coins already fall out of it! Everything is elementary: five coins must be hidden in advance in the spine of the book. Now the main thing is that the coins do not fall out ahead of time. 
obedient tie
Even toddlers can do this trick. The young magician appears before the audience. But something is wrong with his suit. Oh yes - he forgot to wear a bow tie! But this is fixable, wave of a magic wand - hello op! - and the tie is already in place! The secret is simple: we sew a thin elastic band to the tie, and we hide the tie under the armpit. We thread the other end of the elastic band into the loop from the button on the collar and stretch it under the shirt to the waist, fasten it. Now it remains to take in hand magic wand, wave it - the elastic band is released, and the butterfly "flies" to its place!
magic spoon
Calmly stir sweet tea or compote with a teaspoon. And suddenly - hello op! - the spoon is already hanging on our nose! Miracles! In fact, everything is simple: the spoon really sticks to the nose because of the sugar (after all, our tea was sweet, and even more so compote!). Of course, you need to glue the spoon with the concave side. Plus a little sense of humor and acting skills - a funny trick is ready!
magic cover
We distribute 3 plastic bottle caps to the audience. One of them should be different from the others in color. Let the audience, without our knowledge, hide the lids in a box with three compartments, each lid in its own (the box is made of 3 boxes glued together). We pick up a box and accurately determine where the cover of a different color is located! How? Very simple. In advance, you need to put a weighting agent in this lid - a circle of lead, equal in size to the bottom of the lid. At the moment of guessing, we carefully take the box with the lids by the middle with our fingers - the heavy lid will slightly outweigh. If the drawer remains in balance, then the desired lid is in the middle compartment. And, of course, the caps need to be handed out to the audience one at a time so that they have no way to compare their weight.
I can read minds!
The child takes a book at random from the shelf and asks the audience to name the page number. Then he leaves the room. The magician's assistant reads the top line of the page chosen by the audience. A young magician enters - and repeats it without hesitation! He really can read minds! In fact, everything is simpler: our magician and sorcerer just knows how to read. Behind the door lies the same book as the one that the child took out “at random” from the shelf. And he himself read the right top line behind the door!
rice lord
The magician is holding a plastic margarine box filled with rice. The child covers it from above with exactly the same box - bottom up. After magical manipulations and reading the spell, the box opens, and here is a miracle - there is much more rice! It doesn’t even fit in a box and spills out on the table! The secret of the trick is in a specially prepared box with which we covered our rice. She has a "double bottom" - the lid from it must be cut off and carefully glued as a bottom approximately in the middle of the box. Now the most important thing is not to confuse and at the end of the trick pour the rice into the right box, the one with the false bottom.
Sleight of hand
For this trick, we need a bracelet, a rope and a scarf. The assistant tightly ties the hands of the young magician, after which he gives him a bracelet and rips the magician's hands with a handkerchief, holding the handkerchief by the ends. After a couple of moments, the scarf is removed, the magician raises his hands - and the magician's bracelet is put on a rope! The thing is that there are actually two bracelets: the second one is already put on the child’s hand and hidden under the sleeve of the jacket. It remains only to quietly drop the bracelet onto the rope and hide the second bracelet! 
Candy from… confetti?
For this sweet trick, you will need a wide bowl filled to the middle with confetti and a couple of paper cups, but not simple, but a secret. Here it is, this secret: one of the cups should have a lid, we glue confetti thickly on it. Next is the matter of technology. Put the candies in a glass with a lid and bury it in a bowl with confetti. The child shows the bowl to the audience. So that everyone can see that there is no deception here, scoops up confetti with another glass and pours them back into the bowl with enough high altitude. Then he scoops up the confetti again (but in fact he takes another cup, and hides the first one in the bowl), covers it with a scarf, reads a spell, takes off the scarf - in front of us is a glass filled with delicious sweets! The main thing is to carefully remove the lid along with the handkerchief - this is the second secret of our trick.
non bursting ball
We take an inflated balloon and a long sharp knitting needle. A wave, precise movement - and the needle is inside the ball, and the ball is intact! This is possible with a little preparation and a series of exercises. On the ball on both sides, you need to stick a piece of transparent adhesive tape, and the magician's task is to learn how to hit exactly the marked places. It's not easy and requires some skill. But the effect produced by focus is worth the time and effort!
fruit transformation
An orange lies in the palm of a young magician. The magician covers it with a handkerchief, utters a magic spell - and now it’s not an orange, but an apple on his hand! And here's the solution: you need to peel the orange from the orange in advance. And inside it put a small apple. The peel is removed with a slight movement of the hand along with a handkerchief.
Coin - acrobat
Let's invite our viewers to pick up a coin from the table without touching it. Hardly anyone can do it. Meanwhile, it is enough to blow sharply on the coin from a distance of about 5 cm - it will jump up, and you need to keep your hand very close in order to have time to pick up the coin. Focus is charming, but it takes practice.
I know your date of birth!
This trick, of course, is beyond the power of kids. But you can surprise them with children and adults at some holiday. The magician asks the viewer to multiply the date of his birth (number) by 2, add 5 to the result, multiply the amount by 50. Then add the number of the month of birth and name the resulting number. The presenter unmistakably names the date of birth of the viewer! And beforehand, in the mind, it subtracts 250 from the number named by the viewer. You will get a three- or four-digit number. One or two of the first digits of which is the number, and the second two are the month of birth. 
Slippers and rug
The magician brings a rug onto the stage, shows it to the audience from all sides. He covers his feet with it (and at this time he quietly removes his slippers from his feet). The rug is removed - slippers are found! But that's not all: While the magician is bowing, the slippers themselves go backstage (they are pulled on the fishing line by assistants)! Here is the confusion! Running for slippers!
Endless thread
There is a white thread on the magician's jacket, the magician tries to brush it off, but he does not succeed. He asks the audience to remove the thread. A kind viewer pulls the thread, pulls, pulls, but it never ends! Soon the viewer becomes entangled in the threads. In fact, in the inner pocket of the jacket there is a pencil with a long thread wound around it, and the end of the thread was pulled out with a needle. And we need a pencil for conspiracy - even if attentive viewers suspect something, a pencil in your pocket will not give out a secret - it's not a coil!
magic water
There is such optical illusion: if you put a glass on a coin, it will be visible through the walls of the glass, but if you pour water into the glass, the coin will no longer be visible, unless, of course, you look at it from the side, but if you look exactly from above, it will be visible. This can become the basis for focus. For example, you can stick a coin to the bottom of a glass. The magician shows the audience a glass of water - nothing is visible. And now (after the magic words) we look at the glass from above - a coin has appeared in the glass!
weightless glass
For focus we need three glasses and a sheet of paper. We put two glasses on the table not far from each other. The magician informs the audience that a piece of paper placed on top of the glasses can easily support the weight of a third glass and invites the audience to try it out. Of course, no one believes. But in vain! This is possible if you fold a piece of paper like an accordion. For greater effect, water can be poured into the upper glass.
Trained button
Pour soda into a glass and put a small button there. Now we turn to the button: “float up!”, Then: “float down!” The button is obedient! And here there is no secret at all, the law of physics: gas bubbles, gathering around the button, lift it up, they burst at the top, and the button sinks again. It remains only to calculate the time for their teams.
Non-blown candle
Here again, the amazing laws of physics and no magic. We try to blow out the candle through the funnel - we blow into its narrow end. If the candle is exactly in the middle of the funnel, nothing happens, but if the flame is on the edge of the funnel, the candle immediately goes out. The fact is that the air blown out by us is dispersed and distributed around the edges of the funnel. Therefore, no air flow remains in the middle, and therefore the candle does not go out.

Who stole the flame?
You can even steal a flame
If you have such an old-fashioned lighter, then you can definitely impress everyone with your trick. To begin, take a pencil or pen and move the wick from its normal position slightly to the side. Then light your lighter in the usual way and run your hand over the flame, giving the impression that you are "stealing" the fire. This will cut off the flow of oxygen in the flame, but the wick will still burn inside the kind of pocket that you created when you moved it. You need a little air to light the fire again, for this you can lightly blow on the lighter or create an air flow with smooth hand movements over the wick.
Put the jar on its hind legs
Make your soda can rear up
Once you've finished about half the soda or any other drink in tin can, you can show your friends another trick.

Magician serving
Sleight of hand and more
Each of us at least once saw the very trick with the tablecloth, which is torn off the dining table right from under the plates and glasses. However, if you've tried this trick at home, chances are it ended disastrously. The whole trick here is pulling the canvas down, and not on itself, and in the location of the tablecloth itself. Set the table so that the tablecloth does not hang from the edge opposite your position. The farther from the edge of the table this side of the tablecloth is, the easier it will be to pull it off the other edge.
floating rings
Make them levitate
Stretch the elastic between your hands, first thread it into the ring. Clamp a small section of this gum in the fist of one hand so that it is not visible. Pull the visible part so that the hand with the hidden part of the rubber thread is lower, respectively, your ring will roll down to it. Then slowly release the hidden piece of gum, and with it the ring will begin to rise to the other hand. From the outside, it will look as if the ring itself begins to soar and rise.

Make Lincoln smile
Happiness is in your hands
Make the famous president of America smile broadly or deeply sad. To do this, you need a five-dollar bill. To cheer or sadden the sixteenth president of America, make three vertical folds, two of which should go through the corners of the mouth, and one right in the center of the lips. But bend the one in the middle inward, and bend the other two outward. The banknote will be curved in a zigzag, and its center, when viewed from the side, will resemble the letter "M". Now, by changing your viewing angle, you will make the Lincoln on the banknote either smile or be sad.
Magic knot on a napkin
Tie the scarf into a knot without letting go of the ends
Lay out a standard rag napkin on the table and invite your friends to tie this fabric into a knot, but without letting go of the ends. They are unlikely to succeed. But you know what needs to be done. To tie it, simply cross your arms over your chest before grasping the ends of the napkin. The hand of one hand should be on top of the elbow joint, and the other, respectively, from below. Next, just spread your hands in different sides, and the node will bind itself.
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 left baby impression about a magician with a rabbit in an empty top hat. And, of course, everyone who has seen all of the above would probably like to learn how to do at least small miracle! Especially for such people, I wrote this article, in which I will reveal to the readers of MirSovetov several secrets of popular and at the same time simple tricks, some of them are performed due to sleight of hand, and some - with the help of 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.- 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 their 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.
- 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.
- Never say what will happen next. 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 (intellectual property) gives a greater value. 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 trick to find out the key card: I remove the deck, ask the spectator to put the card down and cover the card with a pile 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 it 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? Great! 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 phalanges of 4 fingers, pressing it on top with the thumb, 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 card will be on the back of your hand 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: we stretch the elastic band on the thumb of the left hand and the thumb and forefinger of the 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 middle finger left hand tightened 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.

To demonstrate miracles to others, to master the art of magic, to be a magician - everyone dreamed of this. And not only because it will set you apart from the crowd, will add a twist to everyday life or make it popular. However, because the conjurer is fraught with special power, he knows how to bewitch people. How to learn tricks to do? You just need to train and show a little artistry!
How to learn to do simple magic tricks?
Everyone can usually learn simple tricks, even a child. To do this, you need to learn the secret of the trick, carefully rehearse it and show it to others. Professionals often use complex props custom-made for them ahead of time. However, for ordinary tricks, you can take what is at hand: pins, matches, handkerchiefs or coins.
The trick we are about to tell you about is called the Match and the Pin. Its essence lies in the fact that the audience is shown a pin, on the sharp part of which a match is strung perpendicularly. Then the illusionist pretends to try to twist the match around the pin, but, of course, it rests on the other side of the pin and cannot pass. The surrounding people are convinced that there are no cuts on the match, and it cannot be turned. At the same moment, the illusionist carries out a lightning movement and still scrolls the match through the pin.

The secret of this trick is very simple. When you ignite the match with a pin, you need to twist it back and forth well so that the hole opens and the match turns freely. When you demonstrate the trick, you need to sharply spin the match. It, of course, will not pass through the pin, but it will scroll in the other direction. From the outside, no one will notice it - the effect will be as if the match went through a pin.
Interesting fact:
Georg Nagel, a famous magician, performed in Paris with his program. He showed a trick that created the illusion of piercing a finger with a nail. The secret of this trick is the art of bewitching others so that no one notices the substitution. The audience during the performance surrounded the magician in a very dense ring, Nagel could not dare 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 - while, despite the pain, he smiled and pretended that it was just an illusion. That's what a magician is ready to do if he is dedicated to the cause!
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 a trick with guessing the card. The spectator chooses any card. Then the cadet puts it in the middle of the deck, and shuffles. The task of the illusionist is to find this card. To do this is quite simple. It is only necessary to remember the neighboring card - then, the card that will follow it will be hidden.
Card transformation. There is nothing difficult in this trick, but it is necessary to conduct trainings that develop finger dexterity. So, you need to take the deck and show the spectator a card. Then turn the deck over so that it is face down and toss the desired card onto the table. On the table there will be a card of a different value and a different suit.
The secret of this transformation is that the penultimate card should be discarded from the deck, and not the one at the very end. To do this, quietly slip your index finger under two cards. At the same time, with your 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. At the end, with your index finger, quietly and quickly draw another card from the deck.
First, try to learn the trick with one coin. Put the coin in the palm of your hand, and with your other hand make it look like you took a coin into it. At this point, 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 has remained in the same hand. Make an imaginary grip at ease, only touching the palm of your hand with your fingers without strongly pronounced grasping or plucking 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 there, that is, the coin has disappeared. Now you will get it from any other place, for example, from behind your shoulder or from behind the ear of a friend. If you fill your hand, you can see how delighted others will be with this trick, because it creates such an effect as if a coin appears out of thin air.
And of course, if you master this trick, you can easily cope with a few coins. The trick with 3 coins, like the others, looks like real magic, although it is very simple. Show the viewer one coin, which will be sandwiched between two fingers, it should be shown from all possible angles so that everyone can make sure that it is one. 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 all 3 coins must be taken correctly and not blundered during the demonstration. Pinch two of them in parallel between the large and index fingers and one is 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 the demonstration. So, the audience sees only the last coin, and all 3 are thrown onto the table.
Important:
The perfect performance of the trick is possible only after carefully designed rehearsals and training. If you show a “raw” trick - 90% for being figured out. In addition, never reveal the secret of the trick and do not talk about what will happen next - you should not succumb to provocations. Otherwise, interest in the number will be lost.
Follow these simple rules and remember that what is important for all illusionists is artistry. Come up with special special effects like magic spells or magic gestures, play with the audience, and also believe a little yourself in what you are doing. Then the audience will definitely believe you.
