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

The 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.

Guess the magic number. This is a simple trick in which the magician asks the person to do some simple math, which leads them to pretty much the same answer every time. Here is what you should tell the viewer:

• "Think of any number between 2 and 10."
• "Multiply it by 9."
• Add the first digit of this number to the second.
• "Subtract 4 from the result."
• "Remember the new number - it's your secret number!"
• “Now guess the letter of the alphabet corresponding to this number. That is, if you get 1, then this is the letter A; 2 - the letter B and so on.
• "Think of a European country that starts with that letter."
• "Think of a large animal for the 3rd letter of this country."
  • When the viewer has followed all your instructions, simply say, "I know what you're thinking... it's the number 5 and the rhino in Denmark!" This should work every time.

Guess the magic vegetable. This simple trick almost always works. All you need is pieces of paper, pens, and a few trusting onlookers. To begin, put one sheet of paper labeled "cucumber" in your left pocket, and the other, labeled "tomato" in your right pocket. Remember where you put each of the sheets. You are ready to start the focus:

• First, distribute paper and pens to all interested viewers.
• Have them do some simple math, like multiplying 2 by 2, dividing 10 by 5, adding 3 and 3, and so on. You can say that this is a preparatory stage before reading thoughts.
• Then say: “Quickly write the name of the vegetable!” Make sure people do it as quickly as possible; don't let anyone think long.
• Call a random viewer and ask them to name the recorded name of the vegetable.
• If he calls "cucumber," pull out the piece of paper labeled "cucumber" from your left pocket. If he calls "tomato", pull out a piece of paper with the inscription "tomato" from the right pocket. Tell the audience that you have such a developed mind reading ability that you were able to predict what they would write before the actual trick began.
• People in Russia choose one of these vegetables most of the time. If the person doesn't name one of those two vegetables, then you'll have to quickly move on to another trick! If you live in another country with other common vegetables, you will have to look for your own "magic vegetable".

Guess the name of a famous person. This is a fairly simple trick, but may take a little time. All you need is a hat, about 10 spectators, a pen, something to write your prediction on, and as many sheets of paper as there will be in attendance. Here is what you should do:

• Ask an audience member to name a celebrity.
• Write the first name on a piece of paper and throw it into the hat.
• Ask the others to name famous people.
• Pretend you are writing down each name, when in reality you will only write down the first name over and over again. This is what practice is for.
• When the hat is full, ask someone in the audience to help you.
• Say that you can predict what name he will pull out of the hat. Of course, you will predict the first name. Write it on a board for everyone to see.
• Ask the spectator to take any piece of paper out of the hat. All viewers will see that the first name is written there and, lo and behold, you made the correct prediction!

And you want to please your child with cognitive interesting things further, we offer, together with your children, to learn how to do the following tricks. Yes, it is tricks, because these are also small experiments based on such sciences as physics and chemistry.

Having studied the proposed "miracles", on one of the rainy evenings, you can arrange a whole performance where your child will surprise guests with his skills and "magic" abilities.

Tricks for children's birthday!

Lighting a burnt match

The magician in front of the audience lights a burnt match.

The secret of the trick: you need to take a match and use a knife to make it look like a burnt match. Then, dip the match in black ink and let it dry.

Spoon glued to the nose

Focus spoon glued to the nose is suitable for when you drink sweet coffee or compote, stirring it with a light teaspoon. To demonstrate the trick, remove the spoon from the cup. Turn the spoon upside down and place the concave side against your nose. Lightly press the outside of the spoon with your fingers. After you remove your hand, the spoon will hang on the nose, as if it was glued.

The secret of the focus is simple. You really glued the spoon with the help of a sweet drink remaining on it while stirring. Even with small acting skills, a few seconds are enough to convince the audience of this trick of the unusual property of your spoon.

Focus Glowing Soda Mountain Dew

The essence of this trick is clear from its name luminous soda bottle. As a result of a simple chemical reaction from improvised materials, a bottle of soda turns into a bottle of luminous liquid, Mountain Dew glows almost like a light bulb. For the trick, we need a bottle of Mountain Dew soda, hydrogen peroxide solution and regular baking soda. In fairness, it must be said that perhaps for this reason, Mountain Dew soda is not as popular now as it used to be.

So grab a bottle of Mountain Dew soda. Leave about a quarter of the drink in the bottle, pour the remaining three quarters down the sink. Add some baking soda to the bottle, about a quarter of a level tablespoon. After that, add a little hydrogen peroxide solution to the bottle in a volume of about three caps or three bottle caps. Close the bottle with a cork and shake well. As you shake the bottle, you will notice that the liquid in it begins to glow. In the dark, you can even make luminous inscriptions with this liquid, carefully pouring it into paths on the asphalt. Be careful not to get liquid on the skin and other parts of the body.

Trick with button and soda

Pour ordinary sparkling mineral water into a glass. Take a small button and dip it into the glass. The button will sink into the bottom of the glass. Immediately or a little later, move your hand over the glass and say: "Button, to me." The button will start to rise slowly. Again, move your hand over the glass and say: "Button, down." The button will again obediently release to the bottom of the glass.

The secret of the floating button trick is that when the button is at the bottom of the glass, carbon dioxide bubbles gather around it. When there are quite a lot of gas bubbles around the button, they raise the button. After the button floats, the gas bubbles begin to disappear, and the button again falls down due to its own weight. This up and down movement will continue as long as carbon dioxide is released from the soda. Before showing this trick, practice calculating the time you need to wait before you tell the button "up" or "down" otherwise the trick will not work.

Ball

The magician holds in his hands an inflated balloon Then he takes a long needle, pierces the ball through, but the magic ball remains intact. To demonstrate to the audience that the ball is the most ordinary, the magician gently pierces it with a needle. The ball bursts.
Focus secret. It is necessary to prepare a knitting needle for this trick. It should be long, thin, well polished, without nicks. Now we stick a piece of adhesive tape on the ball on both sides - the props are ready. Only, first, you need to practice piercing the ball exactly in the places “reinforced” with adhesive tape quickly and accurately. If you accidentally hit the needle in the thin stretched rubber of the ball, it will burst.

magic vase

The magician takes a vessel with a narrow neck, lowers the end of the rope into it, first showing the audience that the rope “enters and exits” freely. Then he turns the vessel upside down, and the rope continues to hang, held in the vessel by some mysterious force. The magician takes the rope with his hands, turns the vase over to its normal position, releases it, and it swings on the rope like a pendulum. After that, the magician utters a spell and the “power” releases the rope, and so freely, without effort, comes out of the neck of the vessel.

Focus secret. The rope is thick and stiff, about half a meter long or less. (To be comfortable with it). The diameter of the neck should be approximately twice the diameter of the rope. Make a glass bottle opaque by painting it with paint (for example, acrylic) and decorating it with patterns. Next, the most important. You will need a small rubber ball with a diameter slightly larger than half the inner diameter of the neck. The ball can also be cut from a bottle cap. He descends into the bottle and stays there throughout the entire focus. During the trick: after the magician demonstrates to the audience that the rope freely enters and exits the neck of the bottle, he lowers the rope into the bottle to the very bottom and slowly (this is important) turns the bottle upside down. The bottle should be held in one hand and the rope in the other. At the same time, the ball rolls into the neck between the rope and the wall of the bottle. Now you need to slightly pull the rope to secure the structure properly, and then slowly release it. Voila! The rope does not fall. Then the magician takes the rope with his hand, slowly turns the bottle over and releases it. And now she is already swinging on a rope. The ball still keeps the rope from slipping out. To eliminate the "magic power", it is enough just to push the rope deep into the bottle. The ball will fall to the bottom, and the rope will easily come out. To heighten the effect, you can invite the audience to examine the rope and bottle for "magic" and try to repeat the trick themselves. Let someone from the audience pull the rope out of the neck. After that, the magician turns the bottle over, as if showing the audience its bottom, and in the meantime, he hides the ball that has rolled out of the neck in his hand. Everything, now the bottle can be given to the audience for study.

running threads

On the table are two coils, painted in different colour- White and black. There is no thread on the white spool, but there is on the black one. Arms crossed, cover both coils or clench them into fists. (You can whisper "spell".) Open your hands - the threads from the black spool "rewound" to the white one. Repeat this several times. The threads will be on one or the other spool.

The secret of the focus is simple. Both coils are painted in the same way: when viewed from above, then on the one hand - in black, and on the other - in white. Relative to each other, the coils are arranged so that it seems that one of them is white and the other is black. If you cover them and turn them over imperceptibly, it will seem that the threads "pass" from one spool to another. In fact, the arrangement of the coils simply changes.

Instant orange-to-apple transformation

The young wizard shows an orange to everyone, covers it with a bright scarf, casts magic spells, pulls off the scarf. And on the palm of your hand is an apple!

Focus secret. Carefully remove the peel from the orange beforehand. Then place the apple (it should be slightly smaller than the orange) in this peel. When showing, the child, tightly holding an apple in an orange peel, shows everyone what is in his hand. Then, with a deft movement, he removes the handkerchief from the apple along with the peel.

Endless thread

The magician notices a white thread on his jacket, near the lapel, and tries several times to brush it off. But the thread does not "brush". The magician takes the end of it and pulls it down. The thread starts to pull out of the jacket. The more it stretches out, the more surprised the magician is. And the length of the thread is several tens of meters! Focus mechanics: a white thread from the reel is wound on a short colored pencil (as much as it is wound), placed in the side inner pocket and its tail (1-2 cm) is pulled with a needle through the fabric of the jacket to the outside. The pencil is needed in order to “leave no traces” in the pocket if one of the spectators asks the magician to show the pocket; a pencil is not a reel, it will not help solve this trick.

Blow out the candle

Blowing out a candle - nothing is easier, but try blowing it out through a wide funnel, blowing into it through the narrow end, or through a paper tube rolled up. If you have a candle just in front of the middle of the tube, blowing out the candle is completely impossible. The flame, despite all efforts, is still standing and does not even waver. Try to place the funnel so that it is at the edge of it, and the flame will immediately go out. This happens because the jets of air coming out of the mouth pass through the narrow part of the funnel and disperse in its wide part, then go along the walls of the funnel and bypass the flame of the candle. If the flame is flush with the edge of the funnel, then the same air stream blows it out. This trick will seem interesting and unusual to the audience.

Glass on paper

Place two glasses on the table at some distance from one another (the glasses should not be heavy). Give the audience a sheet of paper and invite the third glass to be placed on this paper placed on the glasses. No one will believe that a thin sheet of paper can withstand the weight of a glass placed on it. To do this trick, you need to fold a sheet of paper like an accordion, and the glass will stand.

Tea transformation

In one glass - "milk" (potato starch shaken in water). In another glass - "tea" (a few drops of iodine in half a glass of water). Liquid from one glass is poured into another and "ink" is obtained. They can even write on paper. Spectators can try their drawing skills by taking a brush and drawing something on clean slate whatman paper or cardboard.

Armored ball

The essence of the trick: The host invites everyone to try to pierce an inflated balloon with a pencil so that it does not burst. If there are those who wish, then they burst a couple of balloons. Then the magician gets down to business ...

The secret of the trick: The magician puts a balloon through a matchbox case, inflates it. After that, you can safely pierce the case, and then the ball. The ball does not deflate.

If your child likes to always be in the spotlight or, on the contrary, is so shy that it’s time to help him relax, simple children's tricks , which will distinguish him from the crowd of friends, and the baby will always be in the spotlight. In order for the kid to understand what a trick is, take him to the circus, where he will see with his own eyes people who, with one movement of the hand or simply at the command of the word, make the unreal real.

How to prepare a child for tricks?

Even if your child grew up as a child prodigy, he is unlikely to be able to invent tricks himself. In order to develop "magic abilities", the simplest magic tricks for kids their parents should know. First, parents need to read literature, descriptions of certain elementary tricks, learn how to do them themselves, and then tell their child about them.

To show tricks in front of the audience, the child needs to learn to feel like an artist and not be afraid of increased attention. When the baby learns to do tricks, ask him to show them to you in the center of the room, sometimes invite your friends or relatives so that the child gradually overcomes his fear of the people. And when the child ceases to be afraid of the public, he will be able to diversify his skills and receive universal love.

In order for the trick to turn out, you need to work on it a lot and for a long time, and parents should explain this to their child from the very beginning. If he is diligent and obedient, then tricks will be given to him with ease. Even if the child is upset after an unsuccessful trick, always cheer him up and remind everyone of the familiar proverb - “you can’t even pull a fish out of the pond without difficulty.” When a child learns to cope with his emotions and whims, everything will start to work out for him, so the performance of tricks by children is also a kind of educational form of education.

No magic trick will be so interesting if there are no special attributes, and it is the direct responsibility of parents to help the child pick up or make one or another object, given the fact that children's tricks do not require something abstruse - often this cardboard boxes, ropes, colored paper, coins, pencils.

The simplest tricks for children

Lemonade lids

Take 3 lemonade lids, but 2 of them should be the same color (preferably white), and one green (or any other color). Offer three spectators a lid, give all three one box with 3 compartments, and turn away yourself at this time. Spectators must place a lid in each cell, and then slam the box shut. When you turn to the participants of the trick, you will have to guess where the colored cap is. All tricks for children must be performed confidently and without hitches, so that everyone thinks that this is really magic. You can make mysterious pauses or glances to the side, as if the magician is thinking and listening to his inner feelings.

Focus clue: A small lead circle must be inserted into the colored lid (in our case, green), which corresponds to the inner diameter of the lid. Since the caps are given to different people, they will not be able to compare their weight. When you take the box in your hands, think for a while, and in the meantime, feel in which direction the box is leaning. In the part where the box will be heavier, there is a colored cover. If the box remains in balance, then the desired cover is just in the middle.

Spoon on the nose

If your child has a sweet tooth and does not set himself how to drink tea or compote without sugar, then he can use his love for sweets for one easy trick - sticking a spoon to his nose. For the trick you will need a light teaspoon and a sweet drink ( tea with sugar or compote). The kid should lower the spoon into a cup with a drink, beat it with it for visibility, and then take it out, turn it upside down and put it in the nose with the concave side. To the surprise of others, the spoon will hang on the tip of the nose, as if someone had glued it there. To better hold the spoon, you can lightly press it against your nose at the beginning of the focus.

Focus clue: the child does glue the spoon to his nose, not with glue, but with the help of a sweet drink. Even if the spoon sags on the nose for a short time, such tricks for children are always a success.

non bursting ball

All kids are very fond of balloons, and each of them knows that this rubber amusing attribute easily bursts at the touch of a needle. The most magical trick is to pierce the balloon with a needle, but it will not burst. So, the child needs a balloon, a long needle - he pierces the balloon through everyone, but it does not burst and remains intact. Without removing the needle, the child pierces the ball with a needle so that everyone can see that it is the most ordinary.

Focus clue: parents should help the child make a thin long knitting needle without a single notch and with a very sharp tip. On both sides of the balloon you need to glue a piece of adhesive tape. Now the child only has to polish his ability to pierce the ball exactly in those places where the adhesive tape is glued, otherwise it will immediately burst. Of course, you will have to work hard, but the stunning result with the surprised eyes of the audience is worth it!

book with coins

Take a large book, open it to any page and put 6 coins on it. Close the book and say any magic words (the child can come up with them). Now the book can be opened and tilted over the hand of one of the spectators. The coins should slip into the palm of the viewer, but when they are counted, it turns out that the coins are not 6 but 10.

Focus clue: before starting the performance, the young magician must put 4 coins in the spine of an open book, and then check if they can slip out unnoticed by everyone when the book is tilted. Coins should fall out only at a certain angle, and not with every movement, otherwise the focus will not work.

The child is a telepath

There are magic tricks for children who can already read - this will be their main advantage in magic trick with telepathic abilities. There are several books in front of the magician, and the viewer tells him which one to take. The audience must name the page number in this book, after which the magician leaves the room. His assistant (in most cases, this is the mother), opens the book to the desired page and reads the first line aloud, and the audience should memorize it as much as possible. When the “magician” returns to the room, he asks the audience to think about the line they heard, and then begins to declare the desired page himself.

Focus clue: in the next room there should be exactly the same books as in front of the audience, and when the child comes out, he opens the desired book on the page that was said aloud and remembers the first line - that's the whole simple solution to this trick!

Lots of rice

The child should have two absolutely identical containers (you can use purchased yogurt or cottage cheese). He fills one container with rice, and the second covers the first upside down. Having walked along all four sides of the room, the magician says: "go around the rice around the world, and find your fellows, but bring them with you." When the child returns to the first point, he removes the upper container, and rice spills out from under it, that is, it turns out that there is twice as much rice! But how could this happen?

Focus clue: plastic jars should not be simple, but "enchanted". The containers must initially be exactly the same in size, shape and color (you can even paste them with the same colored paper). Take the lid from one jar and carefully cut off its edge so that it is the size of the jar itself. Spread the edge of the lid with glue and paste inside one of the containers approximately in the middle - thus, the volume of your jar will decrease by 2 times. Initially, rice should be poured into a regular container, and you need to cover it with a “surprise” container. When a child walks around the room with 2 containers, he must quietly turn them over - and voila, there is much more rice than the lower "enchanted" jar can accommodate.

How do you spend your free time? Like to play computer games, take cool tests, chat in in social networks, but what about teaching 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 memorized 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 the very bottom card.

Lay out the cards in a fan, and then look for your bottom card with your eyes - 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 glass and coin trick. 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 the palm and the little finger, as it suits 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 the right hand a match with a sulfuric head touches a 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 blow 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 such 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.

Take it, tell your friends!
