Within just a few minutes, everyday objects at hand, you’ll be amazing your friends and parents!
Basics
In learning magic, always remember: PRACTICE!
You must practice every trick, no matter how simple it is. This is a true mark of a magician. An illusionist may take 1 year to practice a trick that is only 10 minutes long. That amount of practice is required in order to perform.
As any true magician says: PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! If you are ready, let’s get started!
The Balancing Tumbler
Effect: You balance a cup (use plastic cup!) on the thin edge of a playing card!
Method: The card is really balancing on the edge of the card AND the tip of your index finger as shown to the right. Be sure to use a plastic cup for this and with a little practice it’ll look like you have an incredible sense of balance and dexterity!
Disappearing Water
Effect: You pour water into a cup. Next you turn the cup over, the water is gone!
Secret: Prepare a kitchen sponge and put it into the cup, filling only 1/3 of it. Make sure that the cup is opaque so that they audience cannot see the sponge. Pour enough water to wet the sponge. Turn the cup over, the water is ‘gone’ because it is absorbed by the sponge!
Three Cup Challenge
Challenge: Can you arrange all three cups so they are upside-down by moving two cups at a time, in only three moves?
You can if you turn the marked cups as in the picture to the right. Move the cup with the dot (it’s shown in the position it will be in AFTER it is moved).
Coins Through a Hat
Effect: A group of coins are dropped into a hat that is sitting on top of a glass. One of the coins does not stop at the bottom of the hat, but instead, passes through the hat and into the glass!
Method: A coin is secretly resting on the rim of the glass and held in place by the hat. When the handful of coins are dropped it jars the hidden coin gets loose creating the illusion that a coin has passed through the hat.
Coin Through Elbow
Effect: Make a coin mysteriously vanishes into thin air!
Display the coin in your hand, and then rub it into your elbow, announcing you are going to make it disappear! After a few moments drop the coin onto the table and say it usually works better with the other hand.
Pick the coin up and pretend to put it into the other hand. Then, pretend to rub "the coin" into your elbow, while the hand that is really holding the coin goes up behind your ear. Drop the coin into the back of your shirt collar, and then show that the coin has vanished, and both hands are absolutely empty!
The Karate Dollar
Effect: Have your friend hold a pencil between his two hands. Take out a dollar bill and fold it in half length-wise. Tell him that through sheer force of will, you will break the pencil with the dollar bill. Holding the dollar at one end, you karate-chop the pencil with the dollar bill, snapping it in two!
Secret: First, hand your friend a pencil and ask him to hold it very tightly (this is important) in the fists of each hand. Tell him to hold the pencil at the very ends, but securely.
You take out a dollar bill (or any note, for that matter) and fold it in half length-wise, that is so the fold is along the longer part of the bill.
Hold the dollar in your hand, between your thumb and middle finger. Your first (pointer) finger should be free. The fold of the dollar is towards the floor.
Next, tell your friend, "I will now karate-chop this pencil in two, using my sheer will and this flimsy paper dollar bill!"
What you will do now is to bring down the dollar towards the pencil on three counts. So, you say, "One!", and you bring down the dollar fast towards the pencil, stopping short of contact. "Two!", doing the same thing.
"Three!", but as you do, stick your free index finger into the fold of the dollar! This will cause the pencil to break in two. You have just demonstrated that there is power in money!
Mental Miracle Mystery
Effect: While you are out of the room, or have your back turned, people select any item in the room to think of. When you return, a friend points to a bunch of items slowly without saying a word. You announce what the item is - and you are absolutely correct!
Secret: Your friend is in on the trick and acts as your assistant. The third object he points to is the chosen item. Wait until a few more objects are pointed to before making your revelation.
