How to learn tricks at home. Banana - whole on the outside but chopped on the inside

After reading this article, you will be able to turn the tide and save your reputation as the king of parties and the favorite of the public. Children will squeal with delight, girls will open their eyes wide and look at you, and especially impressionable guys will yell “I have legs in my mouth, David Blaine, how do you do it?”

Focuses! Before you frown and figure out in your mind how difficult it is, how much you will have to train and make equipment, I hasten to reassure you - we will talk about simple, but effective and elegant tricks, and the inventory will be at your fingertips. In a word, you don’t have to cook a saw and a sawing box for any lady, and you only need to train a couple of times before the guests arrive.

1. Broken watch

Ask one of the guests for a watch. Do not be modest, choose a friend with a more expensive watch, and, having received it, put it in a bag. Step back to the table, take a hammer and hit with all your might, several times for effect. Take the bag and show your friend the pieces of glass, case and springs. While his face is in a complete daze and he is estimating how much a new watch will cost him - come to the table, take a magic wand, make passes over the bag - voila and give your friend an absolutely whole watch.

How to do: find 2 absolutely identical opaque bags at home, and smash your old broken watch with a hammer (you don’t wear it anyway), or buy a Chinese one for 50 rubles - the expression on your friend’s face is worth it.

Pour the pieces into one of the bags and hide in the drawer. Take the empty bag, put the whole clock in, and, leaning over the table, carefully place it in the drawer, and take out the bag with the pieces. Do with it, as described above, and returning to the table for a magic wand, bend down again and change the bag. Then a few strokes and give away a whole hour.

2. Lord of fire

Tell the guests that you are a magician and a sorcerer - the forces of fire are subject to you. While they are giggling in your face, bring a candle from the kitchen, put it on the table in front of the audience, light it and, after waiting for a significant pause, with a thunderous exclamation or gesture - whichever seems more effective to you, order the candle to go out, which it will do.

How to do: when you go to the kitchen for a candle, you need to put a few drops of silicate glue in the recess next to the wick, and also cut the wick short, otherwise you will have to shout and gesticulate for a very long time. It is advisable to try in advance on another candle in order to know exactly the extinction time.

3. Incredible striptease

Girls need to be entertained too, so tell them that you will take off the shirt of that guy in the shirt, tie and jacket in one tug without taking off the jacket and tie. The guy comes up to you, you take hold of your tie, as if straightening it, and suddenly you quickly pull your shirt out from under your jacket. Everyone is surprised, and the guy shows a naked torso.

How to do: the guy is your friend, with whom you need to agree in advance. He only puts on a shirt, but does not put it on, buttoning it only at the throat, this will not be visible under the jacket, and the tie will close the unbuttoned slit of the shirt. When he comes up to you, pretending to straighten your tie, loosen the knot a little and unfasten the button on the collar. You just have to pull on the shirt sleeve.

4. Durable ball

Take the ball from the party and report that you have made it invincible with your magic touch. Take a needle and pierce it - it will remain intact. To the astonished cries of the guests about the wrong balls in your apartment - give them the needle, let the rest pierce - they will all burst.

How to do: when decorating an apartment with balloons for a party, take one and stick crosswise strips with narrow adhesive tape, making it without wrinkles, otherwise it will be noticeable. Subsequently, taking the noticed ball, pierce it with a needle exactly at the “crossroads” - nothing will happen to the ball.

5. Magic glass

As I already wrote, the beer is finished and it becomes boring. Take a plastic disposable beer glass and dip a spoon into it. Grasp the spoon with your fingers and let go of the glass - it will remain in the air. Chat and spin them, let the audience think that either you really are a great magician, or something hallucinogenic was mixed into their beer.

How to do: prepare a glass in advance. Through the middle - skip the fishing line, the plastic walls will hide it with their ribbing, the main thing is not to show it in front of a source of bright light. Make burrs on the handle of the spoon so that it clings to the fishing line. Lowering the spoon into the glass, carefully make a hook and voila - you are great and popular.

Unlike other ways like playing musical instruments, it is easier and cheaper, a deck costs much less than the same guitar. You don’t need to have an ear for music, to have an innate ability to sing, a sense of rhythm, you just need to willingness to learn and manual dexterity.

How to start learning?

I think you wondered - how to learn to do magic tricks with cards? Video training would be a great option.

I note that it usually takes about two months to master the initial skills of playing a musical instrument, at least one for sure.

Important: video lessons with maps, like text lessons, have one minus . Your viewers can easily expose you by finding a technique on the Internet. As you can see, the availability of material has its drawbacks. Although it is worth mentioning the existence of unique materials.

What is the focus to start with?

I suggest starting with a focus "Maps Through Glass" famous illusionist David Copperfield it is characterized by high simplicity and extreme effectiveness.

Since you are completely new, you probably do not know what it looks like. And it looks like this:

• Spectators and the illusionist gather near the glass of a supermarket or car door.
• The magician takes an unpacked deck and offers to choose any card, the one who chooses signs on it, and then returns it.
• The illusionist dries it from the marker, puts it on everyone, shuffles and returns them.
• Disperses with the audience on opposite sides of the glass.
• The assistant smears the deck on the glass, and he takes out the same card directly from the glass.

At first glance, it looks like magic, but in reality everything is extremely simple. You need to be technical to do it "false shuffle" and "palming" .

It will not be difficult for you to learn them from video lessons with cards. In the process of learning the technique of performing some magic tricks, you will learn various techniques that will definitely come in handy for others. The first thing to master is, of course, the “false shuffle”, which is used in most tricks.

How to choose lessons?

There is a lot of material on the Internet. There is no big difference in which lessons to study, any videos are almost the same.

• Choose videos with good shooting quality.
• If you are going to study on YouTube, then it is better to choose channels of people with a large number of subscribers and records. These parameters may indicate the authority of the author, and there is also a chance that there will be videos on the channel that teach all the movements that the author used in this particular illusion.

If you watch several different videos teaching the same trick, you can notice the difference in technique between the authors. Here you will have a question: “what is the right way”? Does not exist single correct option everyone has the right to exist. Learn the option that you like well, or the one that looks spectacular.

Important: if you have already decided to start learning, then immediately remember - you do not need to show one trick several times in a row, otherwise you could be exposed.

Outcome

Such tricks are easy to learn, do not require much time compared to other options, any innate abilities are not so important, it is important to bring your technique to automatism.

They can be shown anywhere, no need to spend a lot of money on inventory.

To all this, you can add everything in common, even from a simple illusion.

Many are amazed by the performances of illusionists and their ability to do interesting tricks. This is not an easy job, but everyone can try to learn how to do magic tricks on their own. To do this, you need to learn a few simple steps. Everyone can bring a little magic into their lives and create the most extraordinary miracles. If you have children, then it's time to think about how they will be interested if you show them a beautiful trick.

Rules for a good magician

If you want to learn how to show tricks, you should follow a few basic rules, without which no real magician can do. These include:

1. You never need to reveal the secrets of the trick that you show. Otherwise, the interest of the audience will quickly disappear, because they will know how it is done. Let the observers make their own assumptions about how certain tricks are performed, then they will want to see them again.
2. Each trick must be carefully rehearsed. You need to think carefully about all gestures and movements. In this case, it is precisely the artistic moment that is important. You need to think about what you will say. You should practice several times and only when the number passes without errors, it can be shown to the public.
3. When performing a trick, do not comment on what should take place in the next moment. Better to let the audience guess for themselves. The more intrigue of the number, the more interesting it will be.

Learning easy tricks

If you want to learn how to do tricks, you should understand that there are two sides: the obvious one, accessible to the audience, and the secret one, which is known only to the magician. You need to try to make sure that even the most skeptical viewers cannot tell the secret of the trick.

You need to start with the simplest. First you need to choose the trick you want to do and find out its secret. For simple tricks, you can take everything that is at hand. These can be coins, pins, matches, etc. There are several tricks that even a child can do.

1. Focus with clock. For him, you need to prepare certain props. You will need an opaque bulk bag, a hammer and music. The essence of this trick is that the one who will show it asks the guests for a watch. After someone gives them, you should put them in an opaque bag. Now the magician must turn on the music and pretend to conjure over the bag. After certain actions, you should pick up a hammer and beat it on the bag in front of astonished spectators. When this is done, you need to pull out the watch parts from the bag. Their owner will be in a panic, but you reassure him that everything will be fixed now. Put all the parts back in the bag and do the magic again. Now take the whole watch out of the bag. The audience will be delighted. The secret of this trick lies in the fact that you need to put stock from the clock in advance in the bag. You should practice to know which part of the bag to hit with a hammer.
2. Focus with a balloon. To do this, take a knitting needle in front of the audience and start piercing the ball. He, in turn, will not burst. The audience will be surprised. To do this trick, you need to prepare the ball in advance. To do this, seal it on both sides with a piece of transparent tape. You need to hold it in your hands in such a way that it is not visible to the audience.
3. Another easy chicken egg trick. It consists in putting a napkin on the table. Then the egg is placed on it with the narrowest side. To the surprise of the audience, it will not fall. The secret of this trick is that a small layer of salt is first poured under the napkin. This will help hold the egg. Guests should stand at a short distance so that they do not notice the salt on the table.

In addition to these simple tricks, there are others that always cause great resonance. Magic tricks with coins and cards are especially popular. Learn at least one of them, and you will be successful among your friends and acquaintances.

Practice performing tricks in front of a mirror. This serves as a good workout and you will be able to see how everything looks from the outside.

Tricks with coins

In order to learn how to perform tricks with coins well, you will have to practice a lot. They must be rehearsed to automatism.

The first trick can be called "an unusual coin." So it should be presented to the audience. To complete it, in addition to a coin, you will need a small handkerchief and an assistant. The coin must be put on the table and covered with a scarf on top. All viewers can come and check that she is really there. Now you can pick up a handkerchief and shift it from hand to hand. The coin at this time miraculously disappears. After that, say that one of the guests has a coin in his pocket. You need to come up and get it out of there, after showing empty hands. The secret of the trick is that it is done with the help of a partner who is among the guests. When the guests take turns approaching the table to see that the coin is indeed under the handkerchief, he should come last and quietly pick it up. After that, he carefully puts it in the pocket of one of the spectators standing nearby or in his own.

Another "coin in a glass" trick. For its execution, you will need an ordinary coin, a glass and a scarf that will completely cover it. Glue the coin to the bottom of the glass so that it is not visible from the side. Turn the glass over so that the audience can see that there is nothing in it. After that, pour water into it and also demonstrate to the audience. Now cover the glass with a handkerchief, make some magical movements and remove the handkerchief. Tell the audience to look into the glass. At its bottom, they can see a coin. No one will have the desire to pull her out of the water, as they will have to turn the glass of water over.

You can try to do another trick with one coin. To do this, put it on the palm of one hand, and with the other, make a movement as if you took a coin into it. At the same time, play realistically, as if you really shifted the coin. In order for everything to work out and the audience not notice anything, you should bend your fingers a little. This should not be done under compulsion. Clench an empty fist, which should contain a coin. Now make some magical movements and open the clenched fist. Naturally, the coin will not be in it. You can get it from any place convenient for you. You can get it from behind the ear or shoulder with the hand in which it remained clamped from the very beginning. The most important thing in this trick is to fill your hand. The number should run smoothly, and the audience should have the effect as if the coin appeared out of thin air.

Do not show a trick if you have not rehearsed it to the end. If the audience notices the coin in hand, it will have no effect.

Thus, learning a few tricks is not as difficult as it might seem. With their help, you can well cheer the guests and make them happy. If you have a desire, you can start training.

How do you spend your free time? Do you like to play computer games, take fun tests, communicate on social networks, but what about learning tricks? Surprise your friends here!

The most important thing in performing any tricks is persistent practice. You can get acquainted with the simplest trick and learn how to perform it step by step in at least half an hour, but in order for everything to really succeed and not be exposed, you need to train a lot and for a long time, honing your technique and skill. You need to learn tricks, moving from simple to complex, so next we will talk about how to learn how to do tricks that any beginner can handle.

Simple trick with cards

Those who want to learn how to learn to do tricks often start with cards. Among card tricks, there are indeed a lot of easy options that you can quickly learn and surprise the audience with them, and one of the most popular of them is simple tricks with guessing cards. We will now consider one of them. The trick is called “Guess the card”.

What the viewer sees. The magician shuffles the deck of cards and hands it to one of the spectators to choose one of the cards. The spectator chooses his card, remembers it and, without showing it to anyone, gives it face down to the magician. The magician returns the card to the deck, shuffles it again, lays out the cards and unmistakably finds the spectator card!

Focus secret. Take a deck of cards and shuffle it. Attention: the key to this trick is to discreetly peek which card will be the bottom, that is, the last one in the deck.

The spectator chooses a card and returns it to you. Divide the deck arbitrarily in half - you have two parts of the cards in your hands, one of which contains the bottom card - you remembered it at the very beginning. Put the spectator card on one part of the deck and cover it on top with the second part. The spectator sees that his card is now hidden, but you know that it lies under that very bottom card.

Lay out the cards in a fan, and then look with your eyes for your bottom card - next to it on the right will be the one that the viewer has guessed. Voila! At the same time, do not choose it too quickly, for example, pretend that you are trying to feel the energy emanating from the card - entertain the viewer.

Coin passing through glass

The next simple trick is the trick with a glass and a coin. It is more difficult than the previous one, because it requires a certain manual dexterity.

From the viewer. The magician shows the audience a coin, takes it in the fist of one hand, and the other brings a glass to him, then knocks the glass on the hand with the coin - and it is inside, passing through the bottom!

In fact. Choose a large coin and a glass, plastic or glass. Show the audience a coin and then act as if you are shifting it to your other hand, covering your palm from above and as if raking the coin in your fist. But the coin, of course, remains in the same hand where it was.

This is the key point: it is important to practice and learn how to hold a coin with an open palm or clamp it between your palm and little finger, whichever is more convenient for you - the main thing is that it stays inconspicuous and does not fall out.

With the same hand in which you hold the coin, you take the glass and bring it over the hand with your fist, where the coin lies, according to the audience. Tap the glass on your fist several times. At the last knock, relax your hand so that the coin falls into the glass, and at this moment open your palm with your fist, simulating the passage of a coin through the bottom of the glass. It is important to work out this number well so that everything turns out deftly and at the same time quickly, and the audience does not have time to come to their senses and expose you.

Focus with matches

And finally, we will tell you how to do tricks with matches that require only sleight of hand.

How the audience sees. The magician holds a match between the fingers of both hands. Placing them perpendicularly, he strikes the matches against each other, as a result of which one match passes through the second.

Focus secret. Before picking up matches, moisten the index finger of your right hand. After that, pinch the matches between the thumb and forefinger of each hand. The key to this trick is that, held in the right hand, the match with the sulfur head touches the moistened index finger and therefore sticks to it, and if you open your fingers, the match will still continue to “hang”.

Turn the matches clamped in your fingers perpendicular to each other. Now begin to lead the left match to the right, and at the moment of their collision, unclench your fingers, skipping the left match forward, and then squeeze back. You need to learn how to do it quickly and sharply, imitating the impact of matches - then the audience will not notice the catch.

How to learn to do magic tricks with a handkerchief

The audience loves tricks with a handkerchief. One of the most popular of these tricks is "Passing a coin through a handkerchief." How to learn how to do it, it will become clear after watching the following video:

In order for your performance to make the right impression on the audience and surprise even the simplest tricks, remember a few golden rules that experienced illusionists follow: do not repeat tricks for an encore, do not tell the technique for performing them, and do not warn the audience about what trick you will do next . So the effect of surprise will be achieved, and the riddle will remain.
