You need to learn tricks, moving from simple to complex, so further we will talk about how to learn how to do tricks that any beginner can handle.

Simple trick with cards

Those wishing to learn how to learn how to do magic tricks often start with cards. Among the card tricks, there really are 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 card guessing tricks. 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 someone from the audience, so that he chooses one of the cards. The viewer chooses his card, memorizes it and, without showing it to anyone, gives it back to the magician. The magician returns the card to the deck, shuffles it again, lays out the cards and unmistakably finds the spectator's card!

The secret of focus. Take a deck of cards and shuffle it. Warning: the key to this trick is to discreetly spy on which card is the bottom one, that is, the last one in the deck.

The viewer chooses a card and returns it to you. Divide the deck randomly in half - you have two parts of cards in your hands, one of which contains the bottom card - you memorized it at the very beginning. Place the spectator card on one side of the deck and cover it on top with the other. The viewer 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 with your eyes for your bottom card - on the right next to it will be the one that was envisioned by the viewer. Voila! However, do not select it too quickly, for example, pretend that you are trying to feel the energy coming from the card - entertain the viewer.

The coin goes through the glass

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

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

Actually. Choose a large coin and glass, plastic or glass. Show the audience a coin and then pretend to shift it to your other hand, covering your palm from above and as if raking the coin into your fist. But the coin, of course, remains in the same hand as it was.

That's what it is key moment: It is important to practice and learn how to pinch the coin with an open palm or pinch it between the palm and the little finger, whichever is more convenient for you - the main thing is that it is held imperceptibly and does not fall out.

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

Trick with matches

And finally, we will tell you how to do magic tricks with matches, which only require manual dexterity.

As viewers see. The magician clamps a match between the fingers of both hands. Having arranged them perpendicularly, he hits the matches against each other, as a result of which one match passes through the second.

The secret of focus. Moisten your index finger before picking up matches. right hand... After that, hold the matches between the thumb and forefinger of each hand. The key to this trick lies in the fact that a match held in the right hand with a sulfur head touches the moistened index finger and therefore sticks to it, and if you unclench your fingers, the match will continue to "hang" anyway.

Turn the matches held 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, passing 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 scarf

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

In order for your performance to make the right impression on the viewer 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 of performing them, and do not warn the audience about what trick you will be doing next. ... In this way, the effect of surprise will be achieved, and the mystery will remain.

Ask your child who he wants to be more, a street magician - performing card tricks, an illusionist like David Copperfield, or even a real magician and wizard. Judging by your child's preferences, craft the right props and costume to match the look.
2. Learning to amaze the audience with tricks is easy, the main thing is to develop dexterity and mastery of distraction. Simple magic tricks for children can be based on physical and chemical properties objects and substances.

For example, light chemical tricks are performed using liquids (water, oil, soda, milk, etc.).

How to pierce a bag of water so that water does not spill

For this scientific trick, you need a tight plastic bag, pencil and water. An ordinary one is poured into the package tap water, for showiness, you can tint it with food dyes or just watercolors. Then we tie a bag with the collected water and pierce it with a pencil. And voila! The bag does not leak and the liquid remains in place.

The whole trick lies in the property of the liquid, this is just physics, but from the outside it looks like an extraordinary miracle.

How to slip a coin through a table

Tricks with coins for children are probably the most popular. How often do we see in films how adult uncles from behind their ears pull out a coin from little toddlers? But this is just sleight of hand, but being at home you can slightly change the focus with the coin. This requires an ordinary table and a coin. The highlight of this magic lies in the penetration of the coin through the surface of the table. It is quite simple to execute.

• The first step is to sit at the table so that the viewer does not see your legs under the table. The whole action is performed with two hands. The active hand (right) is constantly in sight, and the left hand is under the table (we create the appearance that we are catching a coin). The most difficult moment is to discreetly slip a coin from the edge of the table into your left hand.
• By doing this movement with three fingers, we create the appearance of holding a coin. Then we simultaneously slap the palm of our right hand on the table, and with our left we knock a coin from underneath. Then we just take out a coin and set it all up as magic.

Focus coin through the table

The balloon that can't burst

This shenanigans are similar to the previous one with water and a pencil. Only instead of the package we use balloon, and a pencil - a long, thin and sharp knitting needle. For the trick to work, you first need to stick a tiny piece of transparent tape on the ball. You need to glue on both sides symmetrically. You can take a few more balls, but without the tape. This is done in order to show that the balls are ordinary and burst from the needle.

Then the baby inflates the "enchanted" balloon and pierces it through and through in the places of the pasted adhesive tape. And lo and behold! The ball did not burst, you just need to practice in advance.

Water turns to ice

A funny trick with freezing a liquid, based on the chemical properties of water. As you know, at temperatures below 0 degrees, the liquid turns into ice. But this trick is spectacular, especially if you perform it on the birthday of 10 year old peers who do not yet know the laws of physics and chemistry.

• Have to take plastic bottle dial into it tap water and put in freezer in the refrigerator for about two hours. Be sure to make sure that the water does not freeze, but only becomes very cold, close to solidification. Then you can get ice for drinks and start pouring ice liquid from a bottle onto it, everyone will be delighted with what they see freezing and turning the liquid into a solid state, i.e. into ice.
• You can also invite the public to try ice cream from your favorite carbonated drink. First, before your show, shake the soda bottle and place in the cold as described above. Always make sure that the drink does not harden, this is the time for different refrigerators individually. So go and check from time to time to make sure no ice builds up.
• Then, when the time has come for the performance, take out a bottle of soda (the main thing is not to shake, so as not to spoil the focus), open the lid, gradually releasing the gas. Then quietly pour the drink into a chilled container, and you will see how it turns into ice cream before our eyes. Also, this magic can be arranged right in the bottle. To do this, shake the chilled soda.
• If you prefer to experiment with water, you can pour it into a cold cup and throw a piece of ice into it. The effect will be the same, only the liquid does not freeze immediately, but as if it is glued to the piece of ice. Stir with a spoon or straw and you will get a homogeneous mass. If you use a sweet drink, then it is quite possible to eat it as ice cream and offer it to those who wish. It turns out a kind of molecular cooking.

Matchbox

• Even a kid in kindergarten will make the funny and simplest trick with the help of a matchbox. First you need to prepare the props, take Matchbox and remove the inner matchbox from it, cut it in the center and turn one of the halves upside down. Then, using tape or paper, glue the box so that it consists of two halves, turned in different directions.
• Next, put matches in the glued box and put them back into the box. The following actions: take the box and slide the inner box halfway (so that the gluing is not visible) observers see matches, then the box is closed and turned with its back to the viewer.

Everyone thinks that by turning the box over and opening it, all the matches will fall out. But it was not there! You slide the box out, but the matches remain in place, and for the viewer, the magic lies in the fact that the box inside has turned over by itself.

Trick with ropes

You will need two participants and two identical strings. To begin with, one participant (No. 1) is tied with a string on the wrists in the form of handcuffs. The second participant is tied with a rope on one hand, the rope itself is passed through the "bonds" of the first (crosswise) and the second end of the rope is tied to participant No. 2. Then they are asked to free themselves from the fetters without removing the rope from their wrists or cutting them.

From the outside, this case does not look very tricky, and it seems that it is impossible to free oneself. But there is a way out and this is how: a rope is taken from participant No. 2 somewhere in the middle and his loop is threaded through the loop on the wrist of the first participant. Then the threaded loop No. 2, the participant No. 1 puts on himself on the hand through which the loop of the second was passed. And participant # 2 throws off the loop at # 1 and frees himself up.

Magic trick kits

A set of tricks for children can be presented to your baby for a birthday or just bought for logical development and thinking. Ready-made kits can be purchased in online stores, as a rule, instructions for performing tricks are attached to such kits.

It can be chemical or physical experiments, illusions, card tricks, practical jokes and more. These simple tricks at home prepare the child for science and play with his parents, he develops oratory skills and develops creativity.

Soda experience

The clever gibberish with soda at first glance bewitches and confuses the onlookers. The trick itself consists in restoring a crumpled aluminum soda can and then pouring a drink from an allegedly "empty" container.

To get started, you need a half liter jar of your favorite drink (not opened). And also a needle, scotch tape and a black circle of paper (the size of a hole in a jar). The first step is to pierce the jar with a needle in some place (preferably higher and closer to the top).

• Thus, we release the pressure and part of the drink from the can. After, when the drink comes out about one third, we glue the hole with tape. Then gently crush the jar itself, giving it a used look. Put the black circle of paper on the lid. From a distance, it will appear that the jar is open and there is a hole in it.
• Everything is ready for the performance, now you tell the audience that with the help of magic you can restore the jar of the coveted soda. You take a crumpled container and gently show that it seems to be empty.
• Then, with the words - abracadabra, lightly shake the bottle and make mysterious hand gestures (due to the internal gas pressure in the shaking can, it will begin to expand and the remaining drink will straighten out the bent aluminum). Then, distracting with other hands and words, carefully and imperceptibly remove the black circle thumb hands. Next, you open the bottle cap (opening the ring) and pour the drink into the glass.

Paper cover

Another experience built on science and physics. Again liquid, glass, but now also paper. Fill a glass with water (about halfway), and cut a piece of paper slightly larger than the diameter of the neck of the glass. Then cover the glass with a piece of paper and flip it over quickly while holding the paper.

And lo and behold, the water did not spill, but remained in the glass. This experiment can be modified with a liquid dye and different vessel volumes can be taken. It could be a small glass liter jar, vase, etc. The main thing is that the neck of the vessels should be even.

Magic water

The magician draws a flower on a blank sheet of paper. Watering the flower with water, and it becomes colored before our eyes.

The secret of focus: in order for the focus to succeed, you need to prepare a stencil of the flower (you only need the outline of the flower, so that the inner part of the flower simply does not exist). Then the outline of the flower must be put on a leaf and covered with aniline powder. Choose the color yourself. You can also make several flowers of different colors.

Leaving the outline of the flower, blow off the aniline powder. Where there was a powder, the smallest particles will still remain. Holding the outline of the flower, carefully turn the leaf over and mark the outline of the flower on the other side of the leaf with subtle dots.

Accordingly, during the focus, the magician will circle the flower point by point, and then slowly pour water onto the flower (preferably from the side of the stem). In this way, the dye from the aniline powder will gradually develop and the flower will become colored.

Velcro spoon

It is very easy to make the spoon stick to the body part! We dip the spoon in sweet tea, take it out and press it against the convex part of the body, for example, to the finger, nose or chin. We wait until the tea dries a little, and "voila!" the spoon is stuck.

The secret lies in the fact that the sweet tea will securely adhere the spoon to the selected part of the body.

Miracle banana

And so that the places where we pierced the peel do not turn black, pour a little lemon juice... That's all! The miracle banana is ready.

Magic water coloring

The magician takes turns taking several closed glass jars with plain water inside. Shakes each jar in turn and says magic words, and the water inside becomes colored: red, blue, green, etc.

The secret of focus is very simple: inner part We spread the lids of the jar with gouache of any color, pour water into the jar and tighten the lid. When we shake the water in the jar, it reaches the gouache and the water turns to the color of the gouache. Easy and simple, and the kids love it!

The effect will be quite long.

Coin Dancer

The magician places a coin on the neck of the bottle, and the coin starts jumping on the neck.

We take out the bottle and put a coin moistened with water on the neck. And she starts jumping. This is because gases expand when heated.

Colorful milk

And not only because it will make you stand out from the crowd, it will add zest to daily life or make it popular. However, because the magician has a special power, he knows how to bewitch people.

How to learn to do simple magic tricks?

Everyone can usually learn simple tricks, even a child. To do this, you need to learn the secret of focus, carefully rehearse it and show it to others. Professionals often use complex props, prepared in advance for them according to individual order... However, for ordinary tricks, you can take what is at hand: pins, matches, handkerchiefs or coins.

The trick that we will tell you about now is called "Match and a pin". Its essence lies in the fact that the audience is shown a pin, on the sharp part of which a match was strung perpendicularly. Then the illusionist pretends that he is trying to twist the match around the pin, but, of course, it rests on the other side of the pin and cannot get through. Others make sure that there are no cuts on the match, and it cannot be turned. At the same moment, the illusionist carries out a lightning-fast movement and still scrolls the match through the pin.

The secret of this trick is very simple. When you ignite a match with a pin, it must be twisted back and forth well so that the hole spreads, and the match turns freely. When you demonstrate focus, you need to sharply twist the match. Naturally, it will not pass through the pin, but it will scroll in the other direction. From the outside, no one will notice - the effect will be as if a match went through a pin.

Interesting fact:

Georg Nagel, a famous magician, performed in Paris with his program. He showed a trick that created the illusion of a finger being pierced with a nail. The secret of this trick is in the art of bewitching others so that no one notices the substitution. During the performance, the audience surrounded the magician in a very tight ring, Nagel could not dare to show this trick. And those around him wanted to see him. As a result, the magician had to really pierce his finger with a nail - while, in spite of the pain, he smiled and pretended that it was just an illusion. This is what the magician is ready to do, if he is devoted to his work!

There are many interesting and, at the same time, simple tricks with coins and playing cards... You will learn about them below.

A timeless, timeless classic is a card-guessing trick. The viewer chooses any card. Then cadets it in the middle of the deck, and shuffles it. The illusionist's job is to find this card. This is quite simple to do. It is only necessary to remember the neighboring card - then, the card that will follow it will be hidden.

The transformation of the card. There is nothing difficult in this trick, but it is imperative to conduct workouts that develop finger dexterity. So, you need to take a deck and show the viewer a card. Then flip the deck so that it is face down, and throw the desired card onto the table. On the table there will be a card of a different value and of a different suit.

The secret of this transformation lies in the fact that the penultimate card should be discarded from the deck, and not the one at the very end. To do this, slip your index finger under the two cards imperceptibly. At the same time, hold the card that the audience saw with your thumb. The middle, ring and little fingers should be released so that the card can easily fly out of the deck. At the end, with your index finger, quietly and quickly draw another card from the deck.

Try learning the one-coin trick first. Place a coin in your palm, and with the other hand, make it look like you took a coin into it. At this moment, the main thing is to depict the moment of shifting as realistically as possible. To do this, bend your fingers slightly so that the viewer does not notice that the coin remains in the same hand. Make an imaginary grip with ease, only touching your palms with your fingers without strong grasping or pinching movements. So, it seems to everyone that the coin is now in the other hand, open it and show the viewer that it is empty, that is, the coin has disappeared. Now you will get it from any other place, for example, from behind your shoulder or from behind a friend's ear. If you fill your hand, you can see the delight of those around this trick, because it creates such an effect as if a coin appears out of thin air.

And of course, if you master this trick, you can easily cope with a few coins. The 3-coin trick, like the others, looks like real magic, albeit very simple. Show the viewer one coin, which will be sandwiched between two fingers, it should be shown from all kinds of angles so that everyone can make sure that it is alone. Then the illusionist must throw it on the table, but there will be 3 coins on the table.

As in the last trick, in this focus all 3 coins must be taken correctly and not be mistaken during the demonstration. Clamp two of them in parallel between the large and index fingers, and one perpendicular. The perpendicular coin will cover the rest, which should not be visible due to the index and thumb... They can only be seen from one angle, which should be avoided during the demonstration. So, the audience sees only the extreme coin, and all 3 are thrown onto the table.

Important:

Perfect execution of a trick is possible only after carefully designed rehearsals and training. If you show a "raw" trick - 90% for being bored. In addition, never reveal the secret of the trick and not talk about what will happen next - do not give in to provocations. Otherwise, interest in the number will be lost.

Follow these simple rules and remember that artistry is important for all illusionists. Come up with special special effects like magic spells or magic gestures, play with the audience, and also believe a little yourself in what you are doing. Then the audience will definitely believe you.
