Who doesn't love magic tricks? Everyone loves magic tricks - both adults and children. Because a trick is a little magic that, if desired and skillful, you can do yourself. Of course, this matter is not as simple as it seems at first glance, so to begin with, the tricks should be as simple as possible. But that doesn’t make them any less effective! We have put together magic tricks that you can show to kids or help your child master them himself - 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 out!
Piggy bank book
And it's not simple piggy bank, and the magic one - there are more and more coins in it! We put five coins on the page of the book, close the book, and do not forget about the spell. We open the book - ten coins already fall out of it! Everything is elementary: five coins need to 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 kids can do this trick. A young magician appears before the audience. But something is wrong with his suit. Oh yes - he forgot to put on his bow tie! But this is a fixable matter, a wave of the magic wand - hello oops! - and the tie is already in its place! The secret is simple: we sew a thin elastic band to the tie, and hide the tie itself under the armpit. We thread the other end of the elastic through the buttonhole on the collar and pull it under the shirt to the waist, securing it. Now all that's left to do is take it in your 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 oops! - 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 the 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 lid
We hand out 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 the box and unmistakably determine where the lid 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, carefully take the box with the lids with your fingers by the middle - the heavy lid will outweigh it slightly. If the drawer remains in balance, then the desired lid is in the middle compartment. And, of course, the caps should be given to the spectators one at a time so that they do not have the opportunity to compare their weight.
I can read minds!
The child takes a book at random from the shelf and asks the audience to tell the page number. Then he leaves the room. The magician's assistant reads out 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 simply 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 required top line behind the door!
Lord of Rice
The magician is holding a plastic margarine box filled with rice. The child covers it on top with exactly the same box - bottom up. After magical manipulations and reading the spell, the box opens, and lo and behold, a miracle - there is much more rice! It doesn’t even fit in the box and spills out onto the table! The secret of the trick is in the specially prepared box with which we covered our rice. It has a “double bottom” - the lid from it needs to be cut off and carefully glued as a bottom approximately in the middle of the box. Now the most important thing is not to mix it up and at the end of the trick, pour the rice into the right box, the one with a false bottom.
Sleight of hand
For this trick we will need a bracelet, rope and a scarf. The assistant tightly ties the young magician's hands, after which he gives him a bracelet and wraps the magician's hands with a scarf, holding the ends of the scarf. 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. All that remains is to quietly drop the bracelet onto the rope and hide the second bracelet! 
Candy made from... confetti?
For this sweet trick you will need a wide bowl filled with confetti to the middle and a couple of paper cups, not just ordinary ones, but with a secret. Here it is, this secret: one of the cups should have a lid, onto which we glue confetti thickly and thickly. Then it's a matter of technology. We put candy in a glass with a lid and bury it in the bowl of confetti. The child shows the bowl to the audience. So that everyone can see that there is no deception here, he scoops up confetti with another glass and pours it back into the bowl from a fairly high height. Then he scoops up the confetti again (but in fact takes another glass, and hides the first one in the bowl), covers it with a handkerchief, reads a spell, removes the handkerchief - in front of us is a glass filled with delicious candies! The main thing is to carefully remove the lid along with the scarf - this is the second secret of our trick.
Non-bursting ball
Take the inflated one balloon and a long sharp knitting needle. A swing, a precise movement - and the knitting needle is inside the ball, but the ball is intact! This is possible with a little preparation and a series of training. You need to stick a piece of transparent tape on both sides of the ball, and the magician’s task is to learn how to hit exactly the marked places. It's not that easy and requires some dexterity. But the effect produced by the trick is worth the time and effort!
Fruit transformation
There is an orange in the palm of the young magician. The magician covers it with a scarf, casts a magic spell - and now there is not an orange on his hand, but an apple! And here’s the solution: you need to peel the orange in advance. And put a small apple inside it. The peel is removed with a slight movement of the hand along with a scarf.
Coin - acrobat
Let's invite our viewers to pick up a coin from the table without touching it. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to do this. Meanwhile, it is enough to blow sharply on a coin from a distance of about 5 cm - it will jump, and you need to keep your hand very close in order to have time to pick up the coin. The trick is charming, but requires practice.
I know your date of birth!
This trick, of course, is beyond the power of children. But you can surprise children and adults with them at some holiday. The magician asks the spectator to multiply his date of birth (number) by 2, add 5 to the result, multiply the amount by 50. Then add the number of the month of birth and call the resulting number. The presenter accurately names the viewer's date of birth! And first in his mind he subtracts 250 from the number named by the viewer. The result is a three- or four-digit number. One or two first digits of which is the date, and the second two are the month of birth. 
Slippers and rug
The magician brings a rug onto the stage and shows it to the audience from all sides. He covers his feet with it (and at this time he quietly removes the slippers from his feet). The rug is removed - the slippers are revealed! But that's not all: While the magician bows, the slippers go backstage on their own (they are pulled by assistants on a fishing line)! This is an embarrassment! Let's go get the slippers!
Endless thread
There is a white thread on the magician's jacket; the magician tries to brush it off, but he fails. He asks the audience to remove the thread. The kind spectator pulls the thread, pulls, pulls, but it never ends! Soon the viewer becomes entangled in 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 secrecy - even if attentive spectators suspect something, a pencil in your pocket will not give away the secret - it’s not a reel!
Magic water
There is such an 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 a focus. For example, you can glue a coin to the bottom of a glass. The magician shows the audience a glass of water - nothing is visible. And now (after magic words) we look at the glass from above - a coin has appeared in the glass!
Weightless glass
For the trick we need three glasses and a sheet of paper. We place two glasses on the table not far from each other. The magician informs the audience that a sheet of paper placed on the glasses can easily support the weight of the third glass and invites the audience to try to check this. Of course, no one believes. But in vain! This is possible if you fold a sheet of paper like an accordion. For greater effect, you can pour water into the top glass.
Trained button
Pour soda into a glass and put a small button in it. Now we turn to the button: “swim up!”, then: “swim 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 to the top, at the top they burst, and the button sinks again. All that remains is to calculate the time for your teams.
Unblown candle
Here again are 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 located exactly in the middle of the funnel, nothing happens, but if the flame is located at the edge of the funnel, the candle goes out immediately. The fact is that the air we blow out is scattered and distributed around the edges of the funnel. Therefore, no air flow remains in the middle, which is why the candle does not go out.

Being a magician, mastering the art of magic, demonstrating miracles to others - everyone has dreamed of this at least once in their life. And not only because such art can make us stand out from the crowd, make us popular, or add zest to a boring party. But also because in the hands of a magician lies special power - the ability to bewitch people. How to learn to do magic tricks? You just need to train your hands and show a little artistry!
How to learn to do simple tricks?
As a rule, anyone can learn to do simple tricks, even Small child. To do this, you just need to find out the secret of a particular trick, rehearse it thoroughly and boldly present it to the viewer. Professional illusionists usually use complex props that are prepared for them in advance. individual order. For simple tricks, whatever is always at hand is suitable: coins, handkerchiefs, matches or pins.
By the way, the trick that will be discussed below is exactly what is called “ Match and pin" The essence of the trick is this. People around are shown a pin, on the sharp part of which a match is strung perpendicularly. Then the magician pretends to try to spin the match around the pin, but it naturally rests on the opposite side of the pin and cannot pass. Spectators are convinced that there are no cuts on the match, and it is impossible to turn it around. At this moment, the magician makes a lightning-fast movement and spins the match through the pin.
The secret of this trick is incredibly simple. When you pierce the match with a pin, twist it well back and forth so that the hole opens and the match turns freely. Subsequently, when demonstrating the trick, you will only need to twist the match with a sharp movement. It, of course, will not pass through the pin, but it will spin in reverse side. From the outside it will be completely unnoticeable - the effect will be as if the match had passed through a pin.
Fun fact:
The famous illusionist Georg Nagel once performed his program in Paris. His repertoire included a trick that created the illusion of piercing a finger with a nail. The trick of this trick is to captivate the viewer so much in art that no one notices the substitution. During the performance, the audience surrounded the illusionist in a very dense ring - Nagel did not dare to demonstrate the trick. And the audience certainly wanted this particular trick. As a result, the magician actually pierced his finger with a nail - smiling at the same time, despite the pain, and pretending that it was an illusion. These are the sacrifices a person is willing to make if he is dedicated to his work!
There are also many simple but interesting tricks with playing cards and coins. We will tell you more about them.
An eternal, timeless classic is the card guessing trick. The viewer is invited to choose any card he likes. Next, it is placed in the middle of the deck, and the deck is shuffled. The magician's task is to find the hidden card. This is quite easy to do. You just need to remember the adjacent card - then the one that comes after it will be the one you need.
Another interesting trick is to transform the card. There's nothing complicated about it, but good workout development of finger dexterity is required. So, you take the deck, show the audience the bottom card. Then turn the deck face down and throw the bottom card onto the table. A card of a different suit and a different value appears on the table.
The answer to this transformation is that the penultimate card is thrown out of the deck, and not the one at the very bottom. To do this, you need to quietly insert your index finger under two cards. The one that the viewer saw is held with the thumb. Little finger, ring finger and middle fingers you need to let go so that the card easily flies out of the deck. The last movement using index finger you need to quickly and quietly draw another card from the deck.
How to learn to do tricks with coins?
First, let's try to learn the trick with one coin. Place it in your palm, and with your other hand make a movement as if you took a coin and it is already in the other palm. The main thing here is to depict the moment of capture as naturalistically as possible. To do this, bend your fingers slightly so that the viewer does not see that the coin is still in the same hand. The imaginary grip should be done easily and naturally, just touching the palm with your fingers without pronounced pinching or grasping movements. So, you took the coin in your other hand, open it and show it to the viewer, and it’s empty - the coin has disappeared. Now you can effectively get it from any other place you like, for example, from behind a friend’s ear or from behind your shoulder. If you get good at it, you will see how delighted the trick is for those around you, because the effect is created as if a coin appears straight out of thin air.
Well, of course, having mastered this trick, you can easily handle several coins. The three-coin trick, like the others, looks like real magic to everyone, although in fact it is completely simple. The audience is shown one coin held between two fingers, it is shown from different angles so that everyone can be sure that there is only one coin. Then the magician throws a coin on the table - and there are three coins on the table.
As in the previous trick, in this trick you need to take all three coins correctly and not “light up” later during the demonstration. Two of them are clamped between the index and thumb - parallel, and one - perpendicular. The outermost coin, perpendicular to the fingers, covers the other two, which are completely invisible due to the thumb and index fingers. They can only be seen from one angle, which should be carefully avoided when demonstrating. Thus, only the last coin is visible to the spectators, and all three are thrown onto the table. Now you see how easy it is to learn coin tricks!
A brilliant performance of a number is only possible after long training and rehearsals. If you show the audience a “raw” trick, there is a 90% chance that you will be immediately figured out. In addition, you should never reveal the secret of the trick or tell what will happen next - do not succumb to the provocation of the audience, even if they really ask. Otherwise, interest in your presentation will inevitably be lost.
Follow these simple rules and don't forget that the main thing for any illusionist is artistry. Play with the audience, come up with special special effects like magical gestures or magic spells, and believe a little in your own miracle. Then every viewer will definitely believe you.
Every child has dreamed of becoming a real magician at least once in their life. And even more, he wanted to learn how to solve mysterious tricks. We will look at some of the most popular tricks and reveal the secrets of their performance.
Magic wand
To perform the trick you need to glue together paper sheet stick that will need to be decorated. Fill it with confetti on one side and streamers on the other. The child in front of the audience wraps the stick in a sheet of newspaper and shakes it. As a result, confetti will spill out of the paper. Then you should turn the sheet over and take out the serpentine. At the end, the newspaper crumples together with the stick.
Guess the number
The kid should ask a friend to think of a number from 1 to 5. Then he needs to inquire about the hidden number. A friend will say that, for example, he is planning a threesome. The wizard must approach the cabinet, in the doors of which there is a piece of paper with the inscription three.
The secret is simple: pre-prepared cards with written numbers should be hidden in different subjects furniture.
Depending on what number the friends call, the magician will take out the corresponding card from the piano or bedside table. The only important thing here is to remember what will be hidden and where. This trick will perfectly develop the child’s memory and make his friends believe that the baby can read minds.
Apple and orange
The child needs to show the audience an orange and cover it with a colored handkerchief. Having said "crex-fex-pex" (“crible-crable-boom” should also work), you need to pull off the scarf. There will already be an apple in the palm of your hand.
The secret of the trick is to remove the peel from the orange and place the apple in its peel. When the trick is in full swing, the baby will need to squeeze tightly and show it to everyone around him.
The handkerchief is pulled off along with the skin, and an apple lies on the palm. It's simple. All you need is sleight of hand.
This trick will have a great impact on the development of motor skills in your young wizard.
Tennis ball
The child must show everyone the tennis ball and hold it in his hand. Then, a handkerchief is also pushed into the fist. When the fingers unclench, only the ball remains and there is no scarf.
The secret of the trick is simple: a hole is made in the tennis ball in advance. When demonstrating a ball, it must be shown to the audience in such a way that no one will guess that there is a hole in it. When the ball is clamped in the handle, the hole should be on top. As you understand, when you push the scarf into your hand, the cloth is placed into the ball itself. By the way, the baby can show everyone the ball without a scarf, and then deftly remove a cloth from the clasped hand with the ball.
Vertical egg
This is a fairly simple trick in which a child can bet with his friends that he can stand an egg upright.
To solve this problem, you will need to make a hole in the egg and remove the white and yolk through it.
Then the baby just needs to spin the egg, it will start spinning and stand upright: this will be fun and surprise for your friends!
Where does the water come from?
The sorcerer must show everyone an empty vase and equally empty hands. When he inserts the handle into the vase, he will be able to splash out the water.
For the trick you will need:
- rubber bulb;
- vase;
- a tube.
You need to fill a rubber bulb with a tube and hide it "nipple system" under the jacket into the sleeve. Then the baby only needs to press his hand to the barrel and lightly press on the pear, the water will pour into the container.
As you can see, there is a very simple secret in this seemingly impossible miracle. Such simple tricks are, of course, intended for older children, because very young children, perhaps, will not be able to press the pear unnoticed. In conclusion, let's say: any tricks are a little bit of magic. A child always dreams of feeling like a wizard. Now retail outlets offer a lot of various devices that a young sorcerer may need. Buy or make such things yourself - decide for yourself. A trick can really captivate a child, or it may only be of interest to him for a couple of weeks.
How do you spend your free time? Love to play computer games, take cool tests, communicate in in social networks, what about learning magic tricks? Surprise your friends!
The most important thing when performing any magic trick 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 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 card trick
Those who want to learn how to learn how to do magic 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, and some of the most popular of them are 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 a deck of cards and hands it to one of the spectators so that he chooses one of the cards. The spectator chooses his card, remembers it and, without showing anyone, gives it face down to the magician. The magician returns the card to the deck, shuffles it again, lays out the cards and accurately finds the spectator's card!
The secret of focus. Take a deck of cards and shuffle it. Attention: the key to this trick is to quietly spy which card will be the bottom, that is, the last one in the deck.
The spectator selects a card and returns it to you. Divide the deck randomly in half - you end up with two parts of cards in your hands, one of which contains the bottom card - you memorized it at the very beginning. Place the spectator's 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, then look for your bottom card with your eyes - next to it on the right will be the one that the viewer wished for. 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.
A coin passes through a glass
The next simple trick is the glass and coin trick. It is more difficult than the previous one, as it requires a certain amount of manual dexterity.
From the viewer's side. The magician shows the audience a coin, takes it in the fist of one hand, and with the other brings a glass to it, then knocks the glass on the hand with the coin - and it ends up inside, going through the bottom!
In fact. Choose a large coin and a glass, plastic or glass. Show the audience the coin and then pretend to transfer it to your other hand, covering the top with your palm and appearing to grab the coin into your fist. But the coin, of course, remains in the same hand where it was.
That's what it is key moment: it is important to practice and learn how to hold a coin with an open palm or hold it between your palm and little finger, whichever is more convenient for you - the main thing is that it is held inconspicuously and does not fall out.
With the same hand in which you hold the coin, you take the glass and raise it over your hand with your fist, where the coin lies, according to the audience. Tap the glass on your fist several times. On the last knock, relax your hand so that the coin falls inside the glass, and at this moment open your palm with your fist, simulating the passage of the coin through the bottom of the glass. It is important to work this trick well so that everything works out deftly and quickly, and the audience does not have time to come to their senses and expose you.
Match trick
And finally, we'll tell you how to do tricks with matches that only require sleight of hand.
As the audience sees. The magician holds a match between the fingers of both hands. Having placed them perpendicularly, he hits the matches against each other, as a result of which one match passes through the second.
The secret of focus. Before picking up matches, wet the index finger of your right hand. After this, hold the matches between the thumb and forefinger of each hand. The key to this trick is that when holding a match in your right hand, 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 held in your fingers perpendicular to each other. Now begin to move the left match toward the right, and at the moment of their collision, unclench your fingers, passing the left match forward, and then squeeze it back. You need to learn how to do this quickly and sharply, imitating the blow of matches - then the audience will not notice the trick.
How to learn to do tricks with a scarf
Spectators also love tricks with a scarf. One of the most popular such tricks is “Passing a coin through a scarf.” How to learn how to do it will become clear after watching the following video:
To ensure that your performance makes the right impression on the viewer and that even the simplest tricks cause surprise, remember a few golden rules that experienced illusionists follow: do not repeat encore tricks, do not tell the technique of 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 mystery will remain.
