Secrets of simple tricks. Simple and interesting tricks for children at home

After reading this article, you can revolutionize the situation 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 shout "my feet in my mouth, David Blaine, how do you do this?"

Magic tricks! Before frowning and wondering how difficult it is, how much you have to train and make inventory, I hasten to reassure you - we will talk about simple, but effective and graceful tricks, and the inventory will be at your fingertips. In a word, a lady does not have to cook a saw and a sawing box, and you only need to train a couple of times before the guests arrive.

1. Broken clock

Ask one of the guests for a watch. Do not be shy, choose a friend with a more expensive watch, and, having received it, put it in your bag. Step back to the table, take a hammer and hit it with all your strength, you can several times for effect. Take the bag and show your friend the shards of glass, housing and springs. While his face is in complete numbness and he is wondering how much the new watch will cost him - go to the table, take your 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 - a friend's expression is worth it.

Pour the shards into one of the bags and hide in a drawer. Take an empty bag, put a whole watch and, leaning over the table, carefully put it in the drawer, and take out the bag with the wreckage. Do with him as described above, and returning to the table for the magic wand, again bend over and replace the bag. Then a few swings and give whole hours.

2. Lord of fire

Tell your guests that you are a magician and a sorcerer - the powers of fire are subject to you. While they giggle 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 meaningful pause, with a thunderous exclamation or gesture - which seems more effective to you, order the candle to go out, which she will do.

How to do: when you go to the kitchen for a candle, you need to drop 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 gesture for a very long time. It is advisable to try it in advance on one more candle in order to know exactly the extinction time.

3 incredible striptease

Girls need to be entertained too, so tell them that with that guy in a shirt, tie and jacket you will take off your shirt in one jerk without taking off your jacket and tie. The guy comes up to you, you take hold of the tie, as if straightening it, and suddenly you quickly pull the shirt out from under the jacket. Everyone is surprised, and the guy is showing 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 wear it, buttoning only at the throat, it will not be visible under the jacket, and the tie will cover the open slit of the shirt. When he comes up to you, pretending to straighten his tie, loosen the knot a little and unbutton the button on the collar. You just have to pull on the sleeve of the shirt.

4. Durable ball

Take a ball from the party and inform that you made it invulnerable with your magic touch. Take a needle and pierce it - it will remain intact. To the amazed shouts of guests about the wrong balls in your apartment - give them the needle, let the others pierce them - they will all burst.

How to do: decorating the apartment with balls for the party, take one and stick the strips "criss-cross" with narrow tape, doing it without folds, otherwise it will be noticeable. Subsequently, taking the spotted ball, pierce it with a needle exactly at the "intersection" - the ball will be empty.

5. Magic glass

As I already wrote, the beer is finished and it becomes boring. Take a plastic disposable beer glass and put a spoon in it. Grasp the spoon with your fingers and release the glass - it will remain in the air. Chat and twirl them, let the audience think that either you are a really great magician, or you mixed something hallucinogenic 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 a burr on the handle of the spoon so that it clings to the line. Putting a spoon in a glass, carefully make a hook and voila - you are big and popular.

It's no secret that magic tricks love not only children, but also adults. After all, each of us wants to believe in miracles, and what, no matter how good a trick, convinces us of their existence. In addition, with the help of tricks, you can entertain guests at any event. The content of the article:

If you decide to include several magic tricks in the entertainment program of your event, then we advise you to choose those where the participation of guests is required, because everyone wants to become a part of "wonderful" process. We have selected for you the easiest tricks that do not require special skills and props. But that doesn't make them any less interesting.

Magic with paper

Math tricks

Card

1. Card wizard

   You do not need the whole deck, but only 21 cards ... Lay out three rows of seven cards face down. Invite a viewer and ask him to memorize any card from the three rows. He will have to tell you which row the card is in. Then you will need to stack the cards in three piles. Put the pile in which the card chosen by the participant lies in the middle.

Now the resulting deck from 21 cards spread out again in three rows and ask the viewer to indicate to you in which column that card is. Again, put the cards in piles and in the middle put the row to which the participant in this trick pointed to you. Do this manipulation with the layout and indicating the card again. In total, it turns out that you laid out the cards three times, put the selected row between the other two piles and collected everything in one deck. Then you put the deck behind your back and pull out the hidden card!

Secret: If you put the pile with the guessed card three times between the other two, then in the end the desired card will be the eleventh card in the deck.

1. Miracle card

   You will need the entire deck of cards. Place the cards in front of the audience and ask one of them to participate in a magical act. This lucky person will have to choose any card, remember it and, without showing you, put it on top of the deck. You will need to divide the deck into two parts and put the bottom on top. Then lay the cards face down and reveal the hidden card.

Secret: Before starting focus NECESSARILY remember the bottom card. When you lay out the deck, the hidden card will be above the very bottom one.

Tricks with water

1. Enchanted water

   For this experiment, you will need several transparent glasses. One of them should contain plain water. Show the audience that these are ordinary glasses and there is nothing in them. But you are a magician, so ordinary glasses and water become magic in your hands and you can change the color of the liquid. To prove this, you pour a little water into each glass and each time the color of the liquid changes. And you end up with four glasses of red, yellow, blue and green water. Secret: You will need dyes four colors and stationery glue... Before starting the trick, grease the edge of the glass with glue and sprinkle different dyes in four places, but only a little. Then pour water very gently into the glass. Before pouring water into containers, you imperceptibly twist the glass with dyes so that each time you get a different color. That's the whole secret!

2. Obedient button

Fill a glass with soda water. Then take a small button and dip it into the container. The button will sink to the bottom. After a few seconds, aloud, command the button to rise and it will slowly begin to move upward. Then order her to go down and she will start to go down to the bottom. This is how you can manipulate items! Secret: The moment you throw a button into a glass, bubbles of carbon dioxide will collect around it and lift it up. Then the bubbles will disappear and the button will sink to the bottom again. The button will "drift" as long as there is carbon dioxide in the water. You just need to watch the button and order it during the time!

This is how easy it is with the help of tricks you can entertain guests, who, no doubt, will get a lot of pleasure from participating in your performance.

If you are planning to arrange children's party with tricks, we advise you to watch the following video:

Trick Sets

And yet there are whole sets for tricks! In my childhood I had such a nostalgia !!! How great it was to play real magicians with such and such accessories. Climbed to the sites of children's toys, to see if there is something similar now? It turns out as much as necessary! Here compilation magic kits

I want to make the birthday of my beloved son or daughter a memorable and bright holiday. The clowns and fireworks are bored with the order of the spoiled kids. We need to come up with something new. Simple tricks for children, learned by parents and the birthday boy, will surprise even the most fastidious guests and create an intriguing atmosphere.

From this article you will learn

"Glued spoon"

Even a junior high school student can perform a primitive trick. Prepare a glass of compote or very sweet tea. Stir the drink with a spoon and quickly attach it to your nose with the concave side. Due to the sweet syrup, it will hang without falling for a long time. If the clown adds a couple of acting jokes, the performance will be as fun as possible.

"The pencil moves"

A kindergartener and a junior schoolboy will be able to play the lord of the tube. It is important to learn how to make movements invisible, then the focus will delight children and adults.

Technique of execution: squeeze a tube or a simple pencil in a fist. Turn one hand towards the guests, with the other hand, make movements in different directions. The tube will rise.

The secret of execution: the thumb of the hand in which the object is clamped rests on the tip of the tube. He presses on the tube and makes it move up.

Runaway Orange

Even kids can perform a simple trick and show it to everyone in kindergarten. The little fakir takes an orange in his hand and shows it to the audience. Covers with a handkerchief, utters any gibberish and tears off the fabric with his other hand. What do dazed classmates see? Apple!

Clue to the trick: peel the orange in advance, without tearing the peel too much. Put an apple of a suitable size inside the crust. The peel is removed along with the handkerchief.

On a note! For a young magician, wear a hat, raincoat or cape for the entourage.

"I can fly above the ground"

Magic is based on optical illusion. The adult stands sideways to the children so that the toe of the left leg is not visible. He waves his arms and smoothly takes off five to ten centimeters above the floor, lifting his right leg up. In fact, the homemade Hmayak Hakobyan rests on the toe of his left foot.

To perform this mystical trick, you will have to practice a little, otherwise the performance will fail due to the perspicacity of the young spectators.

"Commands for buttons"

The magic experiment begins with a demonstrative filling of a transparent glass with mineral water or light soda. Movements must be done smoothly so that the fizzy does not spill on the table. Then we put a small light button in a container with soda and command: "Get up!" The button floats up. We wait two or three seconds and again command, looking into the glass: "Get down!" The button will fall to the bottom immediately or after a couple of seconds. An amazing trick will impress guests of any age.

Secret: hocus pocus does not need to be cooked on purpose, you do not need to train for a long time. The button rises and falls due to mineral gases. They pick it up, release it alternately due to chemical interaction with oxygen. The young fakir needs to select the weight, the size of the button in advance, to work out the duration of the pauses between the teams. The experiment can be shown to guests in the country, when going out into the countryside, in a cafe - wherever there is a glass of soda.

"And I can crawl through a hole in the paper!"

Such a statement will stun viewers. The magician will need the following set: A4 paper, scissors. The sheet must be folded in half. Make zigzag cuts with scissors, first on one side, then on the other. Then cut the joints between the bent pieces. It is important not to damage the last folds. They will join the paper into a ring. It is better to prepare the inventory in advance.

After a funny statement, the magician will take the prepared sheet and scissors. It will make the appearance of a notch, stretch the paper into a long tape and calmly pass inside. The show usually ends with laughter.

Watch the video on how to do it right:

On a note! Before everyone knows the answer, arrange a quick wits competition. Give scissors and paper to boys, girls, and adults. Let them try to guess how the performer will get through the hole in the paper, practice on themselves. And a clever magician at this time will prepare a spectacular finale of the show for everyone.

"Young telepath"

The child promises his friends or mom to guess which number they have in mind. Asks guests to guess any - from 1 to 5. Wait a minute. Pretends to read minds. He asks to tell you what number the interlocutor has thought of, and takes out a card with a picture of the number from the closet, from the shelf or from any other place in the room.

The secret of the magical action is this: the magician writes the numbers on the cards in advance, puts them in hiding places. Remembers the storage location of the solution. Pulls out the card at the right time.

Conduct a competition for guessing the conceived numbers in the senior group of the preschool educational institution, when the children are already familiar with writing numbers and counting. Trick is fun. But at the same time it will amuse and teach children to be attentive, train their memory, and raise the performer's self-esteem.

"Flying Cup"

This is an interesting trick game. Dads and children will like it.

You need to perform the trick like this: glue a piece of double-sided tape to a plastic cup on one side. Attach your thumb to the duct tape, conjure. Start raising your arms with the cup. Do not forget to open your palms wide so that the mount is not visible and the audience does not begin to guess about anything. The container will take off under the control of a fakir with telekinesis. The cup can float empty or filled with tea, compote.

On a note! After the holiday, be sure to give a lesson or master class for preschoolers to teach this elementary trick. It's easy to do, step-by-step instructions will help children become wizards.

"Plastic bag — sippy "

This is a cool trick that can be easily explained by physical laws. The parent, together with the children, collects water in a bag, ties a knot at the top. He takes a pencil and pierces the plastic wrap with the sharp end of the lead. Gently slips the pencil inside and takes it out on the other side. Toddlers usually watch the process with their mouths open. Waiting for water to flow onto the floor. But no! The liquid will remain inside the bag, not a drop will leak out.

An explanation for the miracle is easy to find in physics textbooks for the 7th grade: a pencil makes a small hole in a bag. The hole diameter is equal to the lead diameter. The PVC from which the bag is made is elastic. The material fits snugly around the pencil. The water has nowhere to flow.

"Tumbler match"

The smallest fakirs will be able to perform a simple trick at the matinee in the kindergarten. An ordinary match is required. Place it between the index and thumb of your dominant hand. Squeeze tight. Remove your thumb carefully. The match will remain standing.

The preparation scenario is simple: you need to wet your finger with water and carefully press the match with your thumb against your index finger. When the tumbler sticks, remove the support carefully so that the match does not fall.

"Mind reading is an easy task for a wizard."

Another new option for telepathic focus is suitable for little fairies and fakirs for drawing guests at a birthday party. The wizards do not have to learn anything; they need any handy items, such as toys, as well as the coordination of the actions of the presenter and the magician.

Focus Description: Guests are seated in the room. Place five to seven different items on the table. The little fairy goes into another room so that there is no opportunity to overhear. Participants make a guess on one subject and inform the presenter of their choice. The toys remain on the table. The sorceress returns. Pretends to read the guest's mind. Then he hands over the chosen item to everyone.

So, the scheme of actions of a pair of magicians is as follows: the presenter and the telepath agree on a system of signs. For example, if the guest has chosen a squirrel, then the presenter touches the nose or sneezes, coughs; if the viewer preferred a different object, then the telepathic assistant needs to scratch his palm, and so on. At the prompting of the leader, the magician can easily guess riddles, demonstrating the ability to read minds.

On a note! To avoid quick exposure, come up with subtle signals. Don't look each other in the eye.

"Ball and knitting needle"

Quite a difficult but beautiful magic trick. You can entrust it to children 7 years old after long training in manual dexterity.

The young wizard will need: an inflated balloon and a sharp spoke. The magician shakes the ball, shows it to the audience. He waves his hand. Sharply pierces the rubber material with a knitting needle. The magic happened: the ball is intact, and the spoke went through its sides.

Clue to the trick: on the sides of the ball, you need to glue small pieces of tape. Lubricate the needle with oil. Take a thin needle so that the hole in the ball is small. Make a clear, sharp motion as you pierce the ball. Get right into the scotch tape. The duct tape will seal the hole and prevent air from passing through.

You need to repeat the experiment at home several times in order to work out the hand movements as well as possible. In the process of preparation, it is useful to watch a video of such jokes.

Watch the video on how to do it right:

"Putting out the candles"

This unusual scientific experiment will appeal to elementary school students, children from 5 years old. Take a spoonful of vinegar and a pinch of baking soda. Mix in a glass. Cover with a lid. A hissing sound will be heard during the interaction of the substances. When the baking soda is extinguished with vinegar, bring the cup to the lit candles. Open the lid on the cup. Gently swirl the container with the liquid near the flame. Turn the glass slightly upside down to let the air flow out of the container. The candles will go out in stages without touching with your hands and blowing out with your mouth.

On a note! Tricks with a chemical component, using candles, fire, smoke are relevant for New Year's parties, name day with a cake.

"Magic piggy bank"

Present this birthday trick to a child or adult. Use a thick book as a piggy bank. Have the children fold the coins in between the pages. Let there be three or five of them. Close the book and cast a spell. You can use a magic handkerchief or wand for more expression.

Open the book and shake out more coins than the children put in. Hide excess money in the spine in advance.

"Fork-acrobat"

You will need a glass or glass filled with liquid, a match, and two forks. Hook the cutlery together with teeth, insert a match between them. Install the structure on your glass, achieve balance. You can push the forks a little to make them wiggle.

On a note! How to put the forks, look at the photo. The main thing is to maintain balance.

From time to time, people appear on TV screens doing amazing things. In their hands, 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 skilled hands turns into an endless series of fascinating puzzles that you do not have time to solve - so quickly one trick is replaced by another. An attempt to unravel the secrets leaves no other way but to learn the tricks on your own. But remember that this fun activity is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

Magic tricks with cards

The spread of popularity is explained, first of all, by the availability of the requisites necessary for the display. It's easy to learn - you get a deck of cards and the fun begins.

Props: deck of cards.

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, have three viewers choose and remember one card from the three parts of the deck. Hold the fourth part in your hands. The deck is reassembled, and a random spectator deals cards one by one to 3 equal piles, according to the number of guessed cards. The number of cards to be dealt is randomly selected, but their number in each pile must be the same. The spectators' chosen cards are placed on top of each pile. Then the deck is connected. After inviting the audience to remove the deck several times, the magician makes a circular layout and names the cards chosen by the audience.

The secret of focus in the fourth pile, which remained in the hands of the performer during the selection of cards by 3 participants. Remember the first card from the part of the deck that remains in your hands. When assembling the deck, place the part with the card known to you on top. With further layout, it will appear at the bottom. Then, when folding the deck, after the audience has placed 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 after it, will be the ones chosen by the audience.

Tricks with coins

Before you learn how to do magic tricks, identify the audience you are going to surprise. 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 confirming that it is empty. Reopen and carefully remove the metal coin from the inner compartment. Pass the coin and boxes to the audience for inspection.

The secret of focus consists in the fact that the coin is hiding in advance between the moving part and the top cover. While pulling out the inner part for inspection, discreetly hold a coin with your finger and press the box against the upper stationary part. 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

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

Props: a bowl of water and talcum powder.

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

The secret of the trick consists of a colorless talcum powder, which is applied to the hand. Not a single drop of water lingers on the magician's hand immersed in liquid. One gets the impression that the illusionist in the literal sense of the word managed to get out of the water dry. Instead of talcum powder, try stearic zinc if desired. It has enhanced water-repellent properties.

Tricks with ropes

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

Props: rope with a secret.

External effect. The magician demonstrates a thick rope to the audience and wonders if it can be made to take an upright position. For the experiment, a spectator is invited, who checks the rope and tries to complete the task. Then the magician gets down to business. He ties a knot at one end and stretches the rope vertically. Releases the upper edge (with a knot), and the cord remains firmly on the arm in an upright position. A light blow to the center of the rope - it falls and becomes soft again.

The secret of focus is in a specially prepared rope. From any thick cord, internal synthetic threads are removed, which serve as a filler. The vacant space is filled with wooden cylinders, dressed with strong thread or fishing line. The cylinders are sized to match the inside diameter of the rope. The length is 25-30 mm. For a thin curtain cord, cylinders made from a round pencil with a pre-removed lead are suitable. The number of cylinders depends on the length of the rope they fill. On one side, the fishing line with the cylinders is fixed to the edge of the rope, and on the other, a circle is attached to it, which protects the cylinders from slipping. The length of the line and cylinders is slightly less than the length of the rope. Due to this, in a loose state, the cord retains its softness and elasticity.

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

Tricks with scarves

Learning tricks at home is not a problem - the repertoire of an amateur magician includes tricks that do not require large boxes or complex mechanisms.

Props: handkerchief and matches.

External effect. The sorcerer shows off a handkerchief. Viewers can see that it is empty and does not contain any secrets. The handkerchief is spread out on the table and a match is placed in the center, which is preliminarily examined by the public. The magician folds the handkerchief in such a way as to hide the match. Then he hands over the rolled weave to the viewer, asks to feel for a 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.

The secret of focus consists in the second match, previously placed in the side seam of the scarf. When demonstrating the props, the magician holds the fabric at the corner where the second match is hidden. Folding the shawl and hiding a real match, the illusionist places the corner of the shawl in the middle of the fabric where the "tab" is. It is her viewer who probes through the fabric and breaks. Naturally, when the scarf is unfolded, a whole and undamaged match is found in it.

Complex magic tricks using special props

For the first illusion session, you will have to make simple devices that will help you show fascinating tricks. A novice performer will not only have to learn how to learn 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 a 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 in a column, one five-digit number each. Tears out a sheet of numbers from a notebook and invites another viewer to calculate and write down the sum of the numbers at the bottom. Tears off half of the sheet with the result and leaves it with the audience. He cuts the tape along with the newspaper and demonstrates the blackboard on which a number written in chalk appears. The spectators check the answer - the amount on the piece of paper and on the board is the same.

The secret of focus is covered in two details.

1. The slate board consists of two parts. The board itself is in the frame and the liner, which fits to the inner size of the frame and covers the main part of the board. The outer part of the liner and the board are painted the same black. The second side of the insert is painted to match the tablecloth on which the magician places the props.
2. The notebook should have an unprinted cover 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 them down with chalk on a slate board. From above, the answer is closed by an insert and externally the board looks clean. Having shown the board to the audience, the magician turns it away from the audience, puts it on the table and wraps it in newspaper. At this moment, he drops the insert on the table and wraps the board without showing the audience the front side with the written number. For reliability, the newspaper is secured with 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. Passing to the fifth viewer to calculate the amount, he turns the notebook over, tears out a sheet with pre-written numbers, the amount of which is offered to 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 numbers prepared in advance, he puts in his pocket. After that, he takes the board away from the audience, removes the scotch tape with the newspaper and demonstrates 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 a novice illusionist after such a spectacular final trick.

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

1. Rehearse each trick carefully in front of a mirror. Achieve accurate gestures, confident work with props, prepare for possible surprises that lie in wait for you when performing in front of an audience.
2. Don't 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 distract their attention at the right time.
3. Don't do the same trick twice in the same talk. On re-viewing, viewers who are aware of the end result of the focus will definitely try to reveal your secret.
4. Do not fall for persuasion and do not reveal the secrets of the tricks you demonstrate. A trick, the secret of which has been exposed, ceases to be amazing and mysterious, loses the aura of incomprehensible magic.

Unusual tricks have always attracted the attention of people and made them dream of mastering this difficult art. However, many people on the way to their dream are left with an involuntary awe that each person experiences in front of professional illusionists. Indeed, it is practically impossible to repeat many tricks without props, talent and long years of training. However, there are many simple tricks that a beginner illusionist can easily master.

Magic beads

Everyone knows that if you cut the thread on which the beads are strung, the glass balls will crumble. Is it so? The magician asks someone from the audience to lend him a necklace. Shows the jewelry to everyone by holding it by the lock. Then he cuts the thread with scissors, and the beads are poured into the glass provided. It would seem that the decoration is irretrievably ruined, and the guest is upset.

However, the focus has not yet been completed. The illusionist folds a small bag out of a sheet of paper, pours the contents of the glass into it and throws the thread behind it. With a wave of your hand - and completely whole beads appear from the paper bundle, even the cut clasp is in place again! And the magician, meanwhile, straightens the paper bag, and everyone sees a sheet of ordinary blank paper.

This trick invariably causes delight and amazement of the audience and, at the same time, its secret is very simple. For him you will need the simplest beads with a lock and a trained assistant. Take a thin piece of string or fishing line and thread it through each bead, next to the main thread. Tie a large knot at both ends. You will have in your hands a necklace that looks ordinary, but it now consists of two threads, one of which can be cut without fear.

Performing the trick, you will need to take the beads by the upper knot of the false thread, holding them low above the glass, carefully cut off the lower knot. Any beads still held by the main thread will instantly slip into the dish provided. You will have a false thread in your hands, and the clinking of beads on the glass will serve as additional confirmation of the necklace's demise.

After that, you just have to roll a triangular bag out of paper and, pouring beads and a thread into it, pull out the undamaged beads back.

It is important! A false thread dipped in a small bag can give you away, so you need to learn how to hide it in your hand, just pretending to push it into a paper roll.

How to remove a shirt through a jacket

A spectacular trick, during which a magician takes off a shirt from a spectator invited to the stage, without even touching the jacket worn over it, has long become a classic of the genre. However, its secret is very simple, and you can easily do it at home.

In this trick, you cannot do without the help of an assistant. A person who will be, as it were, randomly chosen among the guests, must dress in a special way in advance: put a shirt on his shoulders, without putting his hands in his sleeves, and button up the collar and cuffs. After putting on a jacket or any other long-sleeved clothing on top, it will be impossible to guess about the unique "wardrobe" of your assistant. During the performance, it will be enough for you to unfasten the buttons and pull out the shirt by pulling on the sleeve.

Turning a handkerchief into an egg

For a holiday with friends, the trick is to turn a silk scarf into an egg. The magician demonstrates the handkerchief to everyone and, shaking it, pushes it into a clenched fist. Then he waves his hand, casts a spell and opens his hand. To the amazement of the audience, the handkerchief is no longer in hand. Instead, an ordinary chicken egg lies in the palm of your hand. The magician, with a pictorial gesture, breaks the egg, among the cracked shell, everyone sees a piece of colored cloth miraculously found in this way.

The transformation of a scarf, like any tricks for beginners, is easy to repeat at home. To do this, you will need:

• 1 egg;
• sharp knife with a thin tip;
• bright scarf made of thin fabric;
• sandpaper or a nail file.

First, you need to prepare the props, the role of which will be played by the egg. Make a small rounded hole in it and drain the yolk and white through it. Dry the shells and rub the edges of the hole gently with emery. It is in this egg that the scarf will hide during the focus, and it is important that the shell does not break prematurely, catching on the fabric. The shell can be pre-soaked in saline for several hours to make it more durable.

When everything is ready, you can start focusing. Hide the egg in your fist so that it is not visible to the audience and, showing everyone the handkerchief, carefully push through the hole into the shell. So sim-salabim! The handkerchief in your hand has turned into a chicken egg.

It is important! Outwardly, the egg looks whole, but a hole in the side will instantly reveal your secret. Therefore, you need to hold the egg so that your thumb constantly covers it.

Scarf through the neck

Ask your friends what happens if you wrap the scarf around your neck and pull the ends sharply. "Nothing good for your health" - you will hear. However, nothing is impossible for a magician, and you can demonstrate to your viewers how an ordinary scarf, tightened around your neck, harmlessly passes through the body and remains in your hands.

The key to this trick lies in the special way of tying the scarf. Place the fabric over your shoulders so that it runs along the back of your neck and hangs from both sides along your chest. Grasp the opposite end of the scarf with each hand: with the right end of the scarf, and vice versa. Now it all depends on how quickly you can complete the "tying". Bring the right end to the left behind the neck, leaving a small loop. With the other hand at the same moment, throw the second part of the scarf, covering the neck also on the left, so that the fabric crushes and hides the loop obtained before.

Now a scarf is wrapped around your neck, which only looks tight. A gentle pull is enough, and the fabric, having slipped off, remains in your hands without causing any harm.

Of course, knowing the secret is not enough to successfully complete the trick. Remember that the more mysterious and unusual you behave, the more readily the audience will believe in your supernatural abilities.
