Here are some great tricks that kids will love.
you yourself can show up to scale, but older children at their holiday can "reincarnate" (putting on a mantle and taking a magic wand) into a wizard or magician and surprise their guests!

Invisible ink
To carry out the experiment, you will need: half a lemon, cotton wool, a match, a cup of water, a sheet of paper.
1. Squeeze lemon juice into a cup, add the same amount of water.
2. Dip a match or a toothpick with cotton wool wrapped in a solution of lemon juice and water and write something on paper with this match.
3. When the "ink" is dry, heat the paper over a table lamp that is on. On paper, words that were previously invisible will appear.

Lemon inflates a balloon
For the experiment you will need: 1 tsp. baking soda, lemon juice, 3 tbsp. vinegar, balloon, electrical tape, glass and bottle, funnel.
1. Pour water into a bottle and dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in it.

2. In a separate bowl, mix lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of vinegar and pour into a bottle through a funnel.
3. Quickly put the ball on the neck of the bottle and secure it tightly with electrical tape.
See what's going on! Baking soda and lemon juice mixed with vinegar react chemically to release carbon dioxide and create pressure that inflates the balloon.

Lemon launches a rocket into space
For the experiment, you will need: a bottle (glass), a wine bottle cork, colored paper, glue, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tsp. baking soda, a piece of toilet paper.

1. Cut out from colored paper and glue strips of paper on both sides of the wine cork so that you get a rocket mockup. We try on the "rocket" on the bottle so that the cork enters the neck of the bottle without effort.
2. Pour and mix water and lemon juice in a bottle.

3. Wrap the baking soda in a piece of toilet paper so that you can slip it into the neck of the bottle and wrap it with threads.

4. Put a bag of soda in the bottle and plug it with a rocket cork, but not too tightly.
5. We put the bottle on a plane and move away to a safe distance. Our rocket will take off with a loud bang. Just don't put it under the chandelier!

Spreading toothpicks
To conduct the experiment, you will need: a bowl of water, 8 wooden toothpicks, a dropper, a piece of refined sugar (not instant sugar), and liquid for washing dishes.

1. We place toothpicks with rays in a bowl of water.
2. Gently lower a piece of sugar into the center of the bowl - the toothpicks will begin to gather towards the center.
3. Remove the sugar with a teaspoon and drip a few drops of dishwashing liquid into the center of the bowl with a pipette - the toothpicks will "run away"!
What's going on? Sugar sucks in water, creating a movement that moves the toothpicks towards the center. The soap, spreading over the water, carries away particles of water, and they make the toothpicks scatter. Explain to the children that you showed them a trick, and that all tricks are based on certain natural physical phenomena that they will learn in school.

Mighty shell
To carry out the experiment, you will need: 4 halves of an eggshell, scissors, a narrow sticky tape, several full cans.
1. Wrap the duct tape around the middle of each egg shell half.

2. Cut off the excess shells with scissors so that the edges are even.
3. Place the four halves of the shell, dome up, so that they form a square.
4. Carefully place a jar on top, then another and another ... until the shell bursts.

How many cans could the fragile shells hold? Add up the weight indicated on the labels and find out how many cans you can put in for the focus to work. The secret of strength lies in the domed shell.

Teach an egg to swim
To carry out the experiment, you will need: a raw egg, a glass of water, a few tablespoons of salt.
1. Put a raw egg in a glass of clean tap water - the egg will sink to the bottom of the glass.
2. Remove the egg from the glass and dissolve a few tablespoons of salt in water.
3. Put the egg in a glass of salt water - the egg will float on the surface of the water.

Salt increases the density of the water. The more salt there is in the water, the more difficult it is to drown in it. In the famous Dead Sea, the water is so salty that a person can lie on its surface without any effort, without fear of drowning.

"Bait" for ice
To carry out the experiment, you will need: a thread, an ice cube, a glass of water, a pinch of salt.

Argue with a buddy that you can use a string to pull an ice cube out of a glass of water without getting your hands wet.

1. Let's put the ice in the water.

2. Place the thread on the edge of the glass so that one end of it lies on an ice cube floating on the surface of the water.
3. Put some salt on ice and wait 5-10 minutes.
4. Take the free end of the thread and pull out the ice cube from the glass.

Salt, when it gets on the ice, slightly melts a small part of it. Within 5-10 minutes, the salt dissolves in water, and pure water on the ice surface is frozen together with the thread.

Record weight
For the experiment you will need: 2 coffee or canned food cans, a sheet of paper, an empty glass jar.

1. Place two cans at a distance of 30 cm from each other.
2. Put a sheet of paper on top to make a "bridge".
3. Put an empty glass jar on the sheet. The paper will not support the weight of the can and will bend down.
4. Now fold the sheet of paper with an accordion.
5. Put this "accordion" on two cans and put a glass jar on it. The accordion does not bend!

HISPERING FORMULA

This trick is taken from Shrek magazine. We have already tried it - the children are delighted.

1. Make a funnel out of paper - cut a semicircle and fasten it with tape.

2. Place the bottle on a deep plate so as not to stain the table. Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar into it.

3. Touch up the vinegar with food coloring.

4. Quickly pour 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda through the funnel ... and watch

everything sizzles and foams - a real magic elixir !!!

I WILL MAKE A CELINDER HAT, SEW A MAGICAL CLOTH, I WANT TO MAKE A FAIRY TALE FOR CHILDREN

IN COMMENTS YOU CAN ADD YOUR FOCUSES

WILL NOT WATER

Everyone knows that it is easier to swim in sea water. And there are seas where you cannot drown - for example, the Dead Sea. why it happens? Because salt water is very dense. This can be explained to a child with the help of such an experiment: you need 2 half-liter jars, 1 liter and 1 egg.

Pour plain water into the first jar, put an egg - the egg will drown.

Pour 2 tablespoons of salt into the second jar and stir well. now we put an egg in this jar - it will not sink - it will float on the surface.

now 3 cans - put an egg there - and alternately pour water there from one can, then from another ... The egg will not sink, but it will not float on the surface - it will be suspended, as it were.

If you add plain water, the egg will sink, salty water will float ...

The miraculous appearance of the tie

The next simple trick is a joke trick. The magician comes out to the audience and asks what important detail is missing in his costume. Oops, he forgot to wear a tie! It's okay, because the wizard can do anything. The child waves a magic wand - and the bow tie is in its right place! Where did he come from? And the whole point, of course, is in special training.

You need to take a thin rubber band and attach one end of it to the tie. Then we pinch the tie with an elastic band under the arm so that the audience cannot see it. We put the free end of the elastic into the loop on the shirt collar, lower it to the waist under the shirt and fix it firmly there. Now you need to take a magic wand in your hand. When the baby swings it, the elastic will pull the tie to the collar.

Balloon and spoke

The young magician holds an inflated balloon in his hands. 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 child gently pierces it with a needle. The ball bursts.

How is this possible? Help your son or daughter prepare a knitting needle for this trick. It should be long, thin, well-pointed and highly polished, without jagging. Now we glue a piece of scotch tape on the ball on both sides - and the props are ready. Only first you need to practice piercing the ball exactly in the places "strengthened" with adhesive tape quickly and accurately. If you accidentally hit the thin, stretched rubber of the ball, it will burst immediately. And nothing that the kid will spoil more than a dozen balls. But then he can surprise the guests at the birthday party or friends in the kindergarten with a mysterious trick.

Confetti candies

One two Three,

Become a confetti candy!

Just imagine: a young magician covers a paper cup with confetti with a handkerchief, removes a handkerchief, and instead of confetti there is candy in the glass. The most real, sweet and delicious. Help yourself, friends! And no matter how fantastic it sounds, but with the necessary props, it is not difficult to make such a trick. So, we need a large opaque bowl or a wide vase filled up to the middle with confetti (we buy several bags and pour them into the bowl), two completely identical paper or plastic cups (one with a lid), candy wrappers, a scarf. Before starting the workout, let's do some magic over the glass.

Fill the one with the lid with sweets, close the lid, grease it with glue and cover with confetti. It is better to glue the confetti in several layers so that they reliably mask the lid. If there is no ready-made protrusion on the side of the lid, we glue a piece of strong fishing line to it with adhesive tape in such a way that it does not catch the eye, but at the same time it is easy to grope and grab it with our fingers. You can decorate the cups with your baby with stickers. Just make sure that they look absolutely identical (for this, use two sheets of identical stickers).

After all this, we bury the glass in a bowl of confetti so that it is not visible. The preparation is over. We pass on to the actual focus. The magician shows the audience a bowl of confetti and says that he can turn confetti into candy. Don't believe me? Now!

He takes an empty glass, shows it to the audience, scoops up confetti from a vase for them and pours it back from a high enough height, demonstrating to the audience that all these are ordinary things, there is no secret in them. Scoop up confetti carefully so as not to "light up" the hidden glass. Then the young magician again scoops up confetti, but at the same time imperceptibly leaves an empty glass under a layer of colored circles, and pulls out a glass with a "secret". This is the first point that needs to be properly worked out. The audience shouldn't suspect anything.

The "secret" glass rises above the bowl and is shown to the audience, the remains of confetti are poured from it, and no one suspects the substitution. The magician shakes off the excess confetti (leaving only the glued one), covers the glass with a handkerchief and "conjures" over it, saying something like: One, two, three, Become a candy confetti!

And he himself gropes through the handkerchief a prepared loop from the fishing line and pulls the handkerchief off the glass along with the lid. This is the second point that requires training. You need to learn how to quickly grab the loop and remove the scarf so that the cover under it is not noticeable. After that, the young magician puts the handkerchief aside and shows the surprised audience a glass full of candy. Well, what does magic candy taste like?

Magic vase

And you have probably seen this trick more than once. The magician takes a vessel with a narrow neck, lowers the end of the rope into it, showing the audience in advance that the rope “goes in and out” 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, lets go, and it swings on the rope like a pendulum. What was this strange force that tied the rope and the vase so tightly?

Finally, the magician casts a spell, "force" releases the rope, and it freely, without effort, comes out of the neck of the vessel. What? Is there a secret in the vase? Please see for yourself and see for yourself, turn it in your hands: just a vase and just a rope, nothing special!

And the secret of this trick is very simple. And the kid can handle it completely. Only here he cannot do without the help of mom or dad, because our vessel must first be prepared. We, of course, deceived our viewers that there is no secret. He is, as in any focus. So, it is convenient to use a glass ketchup bottle with a narrow neck or any other suitable dish as a magic vessel. The rope needs to be thick and stiff, about half a meter long or less (the child should be comfortable with it).

The diameter of the neck should be about twice the diameter of the rope. Make the glass bottle opaque by painting it with paint (for example, acrylic) and decorating it with magical patterns. Now comes the most important thing. You will need a small rubber ball just over half the inside diameter of the neck. The ball can also be cut from the bottle cap. He goes down into the bottle and stays there throughout the entire focus. You may need to experiment with different ball sizes to get the perfect focus.

So what happens during a focus? The young magician demonstrates the bottle and the rope to the audience, then shows that the rope freely enters the neck of the bottle and exits just as easily. After that, 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 in order to properly secure the structure, and then slowly release it.

Akhalai-mahalai! The rope does not fall. Then the magician takes the rope with his hand, slowly turns the bottle over and lets go. And now she is already swinging on the rope. The ball is still preventing 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 can be easily pulled 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. Have a spectator pull the rope out of the neck. Then 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. That's it, now the bottle can be given to the audience for a scrupulous study. It is clear that no one can repeat the trick.

Magic spoon

The magician leaves the room. At this time, his assistant "photographs" one of the spectators, asking him to look ... in a spoon. Returning, the magician takes a spoon and pretends to carefully study the "picture", after which he names the one who was photographed.

What's the secret?

Yes, just the toe of the assistant's right leg is turned to the right person.

Focus - I knew you would guess this number

The magician offers to guess any number from one to five. Then he asks the viewer what number he thought. He admits that he conceived the number "3". “Go to the piano and open the lid,” says the magician. The viewer opens the lid of the piano and finds a note there. It says: "I knew you would guess 3." The effect is amazing!

Want to know what the focus is? You write cards in advance with the phrases: “I knew that you would guess 1”, “I knew that you would guess 2” ... and so on until the number 5. Then you hide them in different places and remember where and with what number the card is ... After that, you ask the viewers who entered to guess a number from 1 to 5. When the viewer calls the hidden number, ask him to go to the object where the card with this number is hidden and read what is written in it.

Animators for children

Many of us wanted to become magicians as children. But not everyone understood that this was all real.
In this article, we will talk about how you can become a magician.

How to learn to show tricks and become a real magician? How to become a great magician - illusionist? Don't know yet? Then read this article carefully and follow the most important rules of the magician.

1. Do not reveal the secret of trick, even if your close friend or girlfriend will ask you very much). All magic and magical transformation ends where the disclosure of the secrets of tricks begins. I want to note that many professional magicians, most of their tricks are kept secret not only from the audience, but also from their colleagues in magic.
I myself, being a member of the Russian Association of Illusionists, sometimes cannot find out the secret of this or that trick from my colleagues. And remember that even if the secret of focus is very easy to find on the Internet, then not everyone will go looking for it. And if they do, it won't be right away. And while the trick is not solved, you, in the person of your viewer, wake up a magic star against the background of ordinary people.

2. Do not show the same focus more than 2 times in a row. Ideal for most tricks a maximum of once, although there are some tricks that require re-exposure for the magical effect. Remember that during the rerun, the audience already familiar with your focus will pay attention to the details of the focus, trying to catch you cheating and publicly expose you, because everyone wants to be the smartest and most ingenious. And know that most viewers are not ready to perceive magic tricks as a miracle, they think that they want to deceive. Unfortunately, this is so.

3. You cannot learn to show effective tricks without first rehearsing them. Learn patience, and do not strive to quickly surprise your friends, because instead of surprise, your focus will easily turn into a blooper, which, like a shortcut, can stick to you for a long time. Therefore, only the most persistent and patient students can become real magicians.

Well, now that we have talked about three turtles, on which the illusion genre stands, I will give you some tips that will help you improve your performance and help establish contact with the audience:

- Do not be silent during the show of tricks. When you speak, the viewer is distracted from manipulating your hands. If the magician is silent, then the viewer is forced to carefully look at your hands, and not be distracted.

But you shouldn't comment on all your actions, the viewer sees everything anyway, your conversations will again lead to a full concentration of attention on your manipulations. Better to just joke about what is happening or ask any questions. A thinking person is distracted from what is happening.

- The magician's rules require your hands to be extremely clean and well-groomed, because they are your main tool, which I will always aim at. The viewer constantly sees your hands, and if they do not have an aesthetic appearance, then the opinion of you will be formed, not for the better. The magician's kit should primarily include talcum powder for sweaty hands and moisturizer for too dry hands. Many people wonder how to learn to show tricks if everything is falling out of your hands? No way. You just need regular training for elasticity, stretching, hand and finger strength, flexing them every day. Do special exercises such as wrinkling a rubber ball with your free hand while watching your favorite movie, etc.

- Speaking of cards, to show tricks, they must be poker-sized, they are better visible from afar, not to mention the fact that they will perfectly train your fingers. Buy branded cards immediately. The most popular cards in the world of magic tricks are Bicycle. Buy several decks of the same color at once, they will definitely come in handy in showing tricks.

- If the program of your speech consists of several tricks, then it is necessary to plan the order of showing the tricks in such a way that the most effective ones are at the end of the program, and the time to prepare for the next trick is minimal. Don't hesitate during your performance.

Order a magician for children for a children's party.

If you need to transfer something imperceptibly, then the best for this is to move to the other end of the hall or stage, closing the transfer itself with the body, and this should look natural, as if you wanted to take something there, but then changed your mind. Most magicians use a magic wand for this, they invented it for this, so that under the action of shifting, or taking a magic wand, you can take or shift a prepared object. Try to turn your back to the viewer less, and ideally do not turn at all, firstly, this is uncivilized, and secondly, the viewer understands that at this moment, you are hiding or preparing something. Naturally, the viewer will no longer be surprised at your focus. Another tip for putting and stowing magic tricks in your pocket. Try to keep your hand from going into your pocket, but from going into your hand, then the viewer will not notice that you put something in your pocket. To do this, simply showing with your hand to the side, take a step with a turn so that the hand remains in place, and the jacket pocket covers the hand. Of course I wrote it in a tricky way, but as best I could).
Every manipulation and palming should be accompanied by a distracting maneuver, whether it be a free hand movement or an appropriate joke. Always feel your perspective, relative to the viewer, and in no case look at your hands while performing the trick. Remember that if you are looking at the pocket, the viewer will also look at the pocket.

- During your speech, there will always be a skeptic who does not believe in miracles and will constantly interfere with you, shouting out various assumptions and guesses, and often asking you to show your second hand, raise your third leg, etc. There is no need to be afraid of such people. You just need to turn all attention to them, explaining that we have a novice wizard, and he is ready to help us. Bring the skeptic into the spotlight and show him personally a trick that he won't solve, or ask him to help you hold any object, better with closed eyes, and then just forget about your annoying assistant)).

- From clothing, a classic formal suit or vest is best. Although the trends of modern fashion have tried to reflect on the appearance of the Magicians, showing us extravagant and sometimes flashy costumes. I want to note that the latter sometimes help the magician, distracting the viewer's attention. If you are wearing boots or shoes, then they should shine and sparkle like stars in a cloudless sky.

- If you are offered to take money during or after the performance, then it is better to take it together with a spectacular trick, for example, a trick with changing a bill, or disappearing a bill.

- To become a real magician, you need to take the obligatory course of Street Magic, in other words, walk around busy places in search of spectators and with the standard phrase "Do you like magic tricks?" or "Can I surprise you?" start to amaze. Such performances in front of an unfamiliar audience will give you invaluable experience, and give you confidence and, of course, will reveal all the mistakes, correcting which you can safely go to the professional.

- Before performances, only a dead artist is not worried. Someone copes with the excitement by self-attunement, someone with the help of drops of valerian, someone drinks strong drinks, although it is forbidden for the magician to drink, because not only you, but also your assistant or spectator may suffer. I am personally against any doping, because it is pure adrenaline and uncomplicated joy from the successful execution of the trick. This is exactly what you are doing magic tricks for. If you drink before each performance, then at some point you will definitely catch yourself on the fact that without drinking you are no longer capable of anything. Alcohol is addiction! It is better to take the path of self-hypnosis, imagine yourself as Copperfield, Napoleon, or anyone else, the main thing is that it helps you cope with fear and communicate with the public from the position of a winner. Inspire yourself that you are a star, and work on the drive of your emotions, rejoice and be surprised together with your viewer. And even if during the trick something went wrong, or the coveted props fell out, then do not pretend that this is a failure, learn to play up defeats, and then they will turn into a victory! And the last tip: come up with your catchphrase with which you will start communicating with the audience. Select the interested viewer from the crowd, and start showing him the first trick.

Simple and interesting tricks for children at home

Simple magic tricks for children at home

Perhaps one of the best ways to entertain a sad toddler is to show him a funny trick. Watching the miraculous reincarnations or disappearance of objects, any child will want to be in the magician's place and repeat everything that the magician does. However, some magic tricks require special preparation, and for the young wizard, they may simply not be available.

In this article, we will tell you how to do tricks for children at home, and give examples of the simplest tricks that can be shown at home without using special devices.

Simple tricks for beginners at home

In order to show the simplest tricks at home, usually only dexterity of the hands and a couple of ordinary household items are required. In addition, the magician must know a certain little trick, which the audience does not even know about, in order for the magic to turn out to be really interesting.

Try to show the following tricks in the company of your child's friends, and you will be assured of cheerful laughter and perky smiles:

New Year's magic tricks for children

Do you want to surprise children at a New Year's party or matinee? Then our New Year's magic tricks are perfect. These simple tricks for children can be shown on New Year's Eve. Try incorporating them into your entertainment program. These simple tricks can be shown by Santa Claus, Snow Maiden or even the children themselves.

New Year's focus - colored water

This trick is good for Grandfather Frost. He tells the guys that he is not just Frost, but also a wizard. And shows tricks in which transparent water is painted in different colors.

For focus you will need:

• 3 bottles (beautiful jars) with lids),
• 3 colors of gouache: blue, red, green,
• 3 small pieces of sponge.

Preparing for focus

Pour ordinary water into 3 identical bottles, but not to the very top!

birthday tricks

Glue 3 small pieces of sponge to the bottle caps. Apply a few drops of gouache to each sponge and carefully screw the cap onto the bottle. The sponge must not be visible from under the cover and must not touch the water!

Focus display

Santa Claus takes the bottle and says:

You are water, water is bright as frost,
Become not transparent, become blue water!

shakes a bottle with a sponge on which blue paint has been dripped in advance. As you might have guessed, when you shake it, the water rinses the paint off the sponge and turns blue.

Santa Claus takes out the second bottle and says:

You are water, water, my beautiful friend,
Become not transparent, become red water!

shakes the bottle again (the one with the red paint on the sponge).

And the last our wizard takes out the third bottle and with the words:

You are water, water, my friend, you are freezing,
Become not transparent, turn the water green!

repeats the focus with water.

Children like these magic tricks. This is not just a spectacular trick, but also a little magical, because it is performed by Santa Claus himself.

Christmas trick with freezing water

This trick is best practiced before showing it to the audience. But I think it will also work well for New Year's celebrations. A general delight, a great belief in magic and a fairy tale produces this trick, if it is shown by Santa Claus himself. By the way, not all adults know this trick, so it usually makes a big impression.

What is needed for focus:

• freezer with a set temperature of -18 degrees,
• a bottle of Coca-Cola or Sprite,
• plain water.

Preparing for focus

The most important thing is careful preparation for the focus and some successful experiments. You need to set the freezer temperature to minus 18 degrees. Fill a bottle with water and place in the freezer. Timing! Next, you need to monitor the process of cooling the water in the bottle. As soon as ice crystals begin to form on the surface of the water, you need to calculate how long the process lasted and take 10 minutes. Take out the bottle, open the cap and show the focus.

So, if the water begins to freeze after 30 minutes, then you need to take out the bottle after 20 minutes.

How to tap a bottle to freeze the water?
You either need to forcefully put the bottle on the table, and then the water will begin to freeze from the bottom. Or hit the bottle sharply and quite hard (but not enough to crack the glass!) On the bottle with a magic metal wand or knife.

Before showing the trick, you should definitely practice several times. It is better to carry out the focus in your apartment (or with a tested refrigerator), because the freezing time in different freezers can vary significantly.

Focus display

Santa Claus says that he is a real Frost, and can freeze the children, and if they do not believe he will show it on the water (grandfather is given a bottle prepared in advance). You can pour a little water into a glass - showing the audience that the water in the bottle is liquid.
Then, with a bang, put the bottle on the table and the water begins to quickly turn into ice.

Coin guessing trick

This trick is also good for a New Year's party. For example, Santa Claus says that he is not just an old man, but a wizard and can even see through opaque objects. He says that he can guess which coin you hide under the cup.

What is needed for focus:

• coins of various denominations,
• tea cup with handle.

Preparing for focus

You need an assistant in this trick. In kindergarten, this can be an educator or a teacher at school. The magician needs to agree in advance with the assistant about how exactly he will put the cup.

The trick is that the assistant puts the cup with the handle in a certain direction. For example, if the handle of the cup is at 12 o'clock, then there is 1 ruble, if at 3 o'clock - 5 rubles, at 6 o'clock - 50 kopecks, at 9 o'clock - you can put not a coin but a paper bill.

Focus display

Santa Claus tells the children that he will guess which coin they will hide under the cup. You can not only turn away, but even leave the room. The assistant puts a coin under the cup and the grandfather guesses with ease.

I hope these New Year's tricks will make your holiday brighter and more interesting.

H Extraordinary things often happen literally before our eyes - and at the same time the magician does not have to demonstrate any special sleight of hand or use any cunning devices. The stories about how to do the magic trick can be photocopied and given to your students as instructions. Or even it is worth the whole class in some unusual, funny way to design a textbook for the School of Young Magicians, collecting there all the recipes for tricks (and continuing to replenish it).

The balls are swapped

First, let's imagine how this trick looks from the outside. The magician gives the audience the opportunity to see and hold in their hands two small balls: one of them, say, blue, the other red. Then he takes a red scarf and, wrapping a red ball in it, gives this scarf to the audience. The magician with a blue scarf and a blue ball does the same.
A magic wand is taken from the table. Several movements of it ("passes"), several vague spells. Viewers are offered to unfold their scarves. And - lo and behold! - there was a red ball in a blue scarf, and a blue one in a red one. But the magician did not touch the kerchiefs or the balls. Well, did the balls swap places themselves? Of course not.
The secret of focus is not that difficult, although it will take some time to learn how to do it cleanly. The magician, of course, changed the balls. How it's done? You need to have not two, but three balls (one more, say, blue).
Before you start showing focus, squeeze this third ball imperceptibly under the little finger of your right hand. For better disguise, take your magic wand in the same hand. (Just a pencil? No, it's better to make yourself a special bright stick.)
Put handkerchiefs on the table, and on them - on the ball, which the audience examined. To free your hand, place the stick under the arm (left hand). Then, with your left hand, take the red ball and put it in your right hand so that the ball is held by your thumb and forefinger, and the rest are half-bent (a blue ball is hidden under the little finger).
Decisive moment! Again, take a red scarf with your left hand and cover your right hand with balls with it. Then you take the scarf together with the ball and give it to the audience. But with which ball?

Child's birthday. Birthday tricks

Of course, you pretend to take the red ball from your fingertips, but in fact you take the blue ball from under your little finger. In its place, imperceptibly send a red ball - the one that the audience saw. Now it remains to do the same with the blue scarf. In it you will wrap the red ball that is under your little finger, and you will hide the blue ball that the audience has just seen at your fingertips under your little finger, trying to get rid of it (put it in your pocket) as soon as the audience's attention is distracted by the miracle that happened. ...

Let the match be broken

First, about how the trick looks to the uninitiated. You take a handkerchief out of your pocket (clean, of course) and place it on the table. Ask someone from the audience to take a match from the matchbox and mark it - "so that it cannot be changed." Wrap this match in a scarf. Address the audience with the words: "Please break this match." The request is readily fulfilled. You put a handkerchief with a broken match on the table, unfold it - the match turns out to be intact! Is this the right match? No doubt about it - that one, that's the mark.
Secret. The trick is very simple. This amazes the audience. The secret is just as simple. Of course, you made the viewer break some other match. How it's done? You put a match in the border of the scarf in advance. When you put the handkerchief on the table, do it so that the border is facing you. You put the match marked by the audience in the middle of the scarf.
It is necessary to wrap it in a scarf in a cunning way. First, cover the lying match with the side of the scarf that is closer to you (here the second match is hidden in the border), then with the opposite side of the scarf, then with the right and finally with the left side of the scarf. The marked match is located behind one layer of the scarf. You pinch it with your hand, and let the audience break the second, previously hidden match. Naturally, they cannot feel that they are breaking the wrong match.
All that remains is to put the handkerchief on the table and unfold it, making a few “magic movements” and saying a few “magic words”. Of course, you can show the audience that the scarf is empty. But do not give it to them - and the secret of the trick will remain unsolved, which will save you the opportunity to repeat it someday.

How to read letters without opening envelopes

This, of course, is more of a joke than a real trick, especially since, as we will see, everything is based on simple cunning and collusion. But the shown action looks quite impressive and can amuse the audience a lot.
The "magician" declares that he would like to finally discover the abilities that he hid for so long: he can read minds. But since it is difficult to prove this, he invites those present to write down their thoughts on sheets of paper, seal these sheets in envelopes, and hand the envelopes to him. If there is any doubt as to whether such a question has been asked exactly, the evidence will be there. In any case, even if they doubt that it was his thoughts that he read, let them admit that he can read letters without opening the envelopes - this is also something.
An assistant is needed to perform this trick. The assistant distributes sheets of paper and envelopes to those who wish. The questions are written down, the sheets are in the envelopes, the envelopes are sealed. The assistant collects them on a tray and carries them to the "thought reader".
For the uninitiated, what follows looks like this. The magician takes an envelope from the tray, puts it on the stand - everyone can see the envelope - and says: “So ... They ask me what the weather will be tomorrow morning. Well, I haven't heard the weather report, but I think it will be clear and sunny, unless, of course, it rains ... I'll check if I'm not mistaken, "- with these words he opens the envelope and reads:" What will the weather be tomorrow morning? " The magician is satisfied: “Well, that's right. Was there such a question? " - he turns to the audience. Someone's voice is heard: “I was, I was. I asked that. "
The guessing session continues. The magician takes envelope after envelope. An amazing thing: he really does somehow find out what he is being asked about. Well, okay, let's say he conspired with someone, but not with everyone! After all the envelopes have been opened, the most careful examination yields nothing: indeed, the contents of all envelopes have been guessed correctly.
Secret. What is the trick? It is really impossible to come to terms with everyone. But with one you can, and that's enough. (In addition, the assistant is, of course, privy to the secret.) The fact is that one issue is agreed upon in advance. The envelope with this question should be the first to get on the tray, and the envelopes with the real questions will already fall on it.
When the envelopes get to our magician, he announces the contents not of the one he took from above and opened, but of the envelope lying at the bottom with an agreed question (then receiving confirmation from the one with whom he conspired). And when he opens the envelope, which is lying on top and is now standing on a stand in front of everyone, “for checking”, he cunningly recognizes the question that is being asked to him in fact. And so - envelope by envelope.
You shouldn't delay showing this joke trick. Even if you open only a part of the envelopes (only 8–10), it looks very convincing. Note that success will multiply if the answers to the questions are lively and witty. Resourcefulness is needed here: there is very little time to think. So, although the focus is cunning, you still have to work and show your abilities.

How to take off your shirt without taking off your jacket

The performer invites one of the spectators and sits on a chair. Smiling slyly, he walks up to the messenger of the spectators and examines him attentively. Then he takes his hand and, pulling the sleeve of his jacket to the elbow, unbuttons the cuffs on his shirt. The performer does the same with the other sleeve of the shirt of the spectator who resignedly obeys him. “So the shirt sleeves are loose,” says the performer. "Now we will take off our tie and unfasten the top three buttons."
Everyone is watching this strange procedure in bewilderment. And the magician, coming up to the viewer from behind, grabs the collar of his shirt and begins to pull it out from under his jacket.

To the surprise of the audience, the shirt slides off its owner unhindered and ends up in the hands of the performer. Now the viewer was left in a jacket, but without a shirt.
The secret lies in the figurehead. The magician makes an agreement in advance with one of his comrades and prepares him for the performance. The role of the assistant in this case is not difficult. Don't just put on a shirt before showing the trick. The assistant will only have to throw it on and fasten it with the three top buttons (for this number you will need a shirt that fastens with buttons to the end).
The tie is put on and tied as it should be. Hands do not stick into the sleeves, but only fasten the cuff around each arm. After that, a jacket is put on over the shirt. The "classified" assistant is quietly waiting when his help is needed.

Magic circle

Stock up on a piece of chalk. Announce that you need a volunteer to enchant him with just one piece of chalk. The volunteer was found. You invite him to stand in the middle of the room and say that you will now draw a circle around him, from which he will not be able to get out - neither step over it, nor jump over, despite the fact that his legs will not be tied, but only his hands will be tied behind his back.
Most likely, they won't believe you. But you lightly draw a circle with a piece of chalk - no, not on the floor, but on the jacket, or shirt, or jacket of the volunteer. Let him try to get out of this circle! You could take off your jacket, but your hands are tied ...
What no one has seen

Turn to your friends with a speech like this: "Do you want to see something that none of you have ever seen, which I myself have never seen, and which neither you nor I will ever see later?" Friends may doubt your ability to show that.
Then you calmly take the nut out of your pocket. Crack it up, let everyone look at the kernel of a nut (this kernel has really never been seen!) And then eat that kernel just as calmly.

Thread with a needle

Of course, threading a needle is not that difficult. But who can do this without looking, holding their hands behind their backs? Perhaps no one. But you can do this, which you will demonstrate to the audience: in one hand - a thread, in the other - a needle, hands behind your back, a little effort - and in front of everyone there is already a needle with a thread threaded into it.
The secret is simple: you prepared in advance a needle with a thread threaded into it and hid it, stuck it in the back of your jacket. By showing focus, you just pulled it out. You just have to hide the empty needle and get rid of the thread that you held in your hand.

Where did the coin come from and where did it go?

This trick is good to show in a small company. Incidentally, the tricks of magicians make an especially strong impression when they are performed under our noses. Take two coins. Squeeze them between your fingers. And now you start to quickly rub the coins together. But what is it? Where did the third coin come from?
Based on this visual illusion, you can come up with various comic scenes. For example, this one. You start by showing the audience: you have three coins moving between your fingers - this, in general, does not surprise them (but we know that there are actually two of them). So give someone all these "three" coins, let him hold them tightly in his fist.
And here you turn three coins into two with a light magic touch. Where did the “third” coin go? You have to look in someone's pocket, pretend that it has been found, but not show it separately (it’s still not there!), And again set the coins in motion ... Here it is, here!

The appearance of the magic wand

A real magician, of course, must have a magic wand. The easiest way to make it is from wood. The diameter of the stick should be 10–15 mm, and the length should be 20–30 cm. It should be pasted over with black glossy paper, and the ends at a distance of 5 cm should be white.
Some tricks require a hollow magic wand. Using a round stick as a template, you can glue a thick tube out of drawing paper or thin cardboard. Of course, and it should be colored exactly like the first stick.
The performer greets the audience and says: “My main assistant is a magic wand, and it is always with me. But carrying it in my pocket is quite cumbersome, so I hide it in a matchbox. " Next, he shows an ordinary matchbox.
The audience laughs, no one can believe that a long magic wand can fit in a matchbox. The magician opens the box and takes out a long wooden stick.

Secret. At the box of the matchbox, cut off one of the narrow walls, slide the box into the case and hide the box in your pocket. Stick the stick into the left sleeve of your jacket so that it lies on your forearm. Secure it with a rubber pharmacy ring around your wrist. During the demonstration, take out a matchbox and transfer it to your left hand. Spectators should not see that one of the walls is missing. By shifting the box to your left hand, you put it on the end of the stick. You open the box and take out the stick from it. The box is closed and hidden in a pocket.

The emergence of the headscarf

The performer shows a sheet of cardboard, rolls it into a tube and looks through it at the audience. Puts a magic wand through the tube to show once again that there is nothing there. And immediately pulls out a handkerchief from the tube.
Secret. This focus can be a natural continuation of the previous one. It uses the hollow magic wand described above and a hook bent from wire, which is sewn to one of the corners of the handkerchief. Before showing the trick, push the scarf inside the wand with a pencil so that the hook sticks out from the outside. After showing the sheet of cardboard to the audience on both sides, roll it into a tube with an inner diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the magic wand.
Look at the audience through the tube. Pass a magic wand through it. At the same time, hook the hook over the edge of the tube. And when you pull it out from the other side, the scarf will remain hanging inside the tube. Cast the spell and pull the handkerchief out of the tube.

Phoenix match

The performer informs the audience that it costs him nothing to re-light a match that has already burned out once. Naturally, this statement will cause incredulous looks from those gathered at the table. Then the magician, in front of everyone, takes one of the matches from the ashtray, strikes it on the boxes - and it ... lights up.
Secret. The match used in focus must be prepared in advance. Use a sharp knife to grind off some wood near the head. Now paint the worn off part with black ink or leather paint. Such a match will look burnt out. It remains to toss it in the ashtray in advance, and the rest is up to your acting skills.

Magic tricks are real miracles. Well, or dexterity and dexterity, approaching miraculous. In the end, at the age at which the child realizes that the trick is just a joke and practiced movements, he will already learn these same tricks himself. Up to this point, you can evoke a lot of vivid and lively emotions in the baby by demonstrating several spectacular tricks.

Get a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Paint the inside of the lid with red watercolor paint.
Pour water into the jar and screw the lid back on. During the demonstration, do not turn the jar towards small spectators so that the inside of the lid is visible.
Pronounce the conspiracy out loud: "Just like in a fairy tale, turn some red water." With these words shake the jar of water.
The water will wash off the watercolor paint and turn red.

Place some coins on the table.
Have one of the kids choose a coin. Announce that you will find the selected coin among others.
Then ask the child to squeeze it in a fist, and bring the fist to your forehead, explaining that you need to think about this coin.
Wait for about a minute, you can even whisper something with a mysterious look.
Then ask your kid to throw a coin on the table and mix it with the rest.
Then, focusing on the warm metal of the coin, you can easily find it and show it to the audience.

Shuffle the deck of cards and fan it face down. Invite a viewer to choose one card and remember it.
Then take this card and, without looking, put it on the newly assembled deck.
Divide the deck in two and, imperceptibly peeping at the lowest card, transfer the removed half of the deck, placing the selected card in the middle in this way.
Then turn the deck over and calmly sort through the cards to the one that you memorized when removing half.
The card, conceived by the kid, will be in front of this card. Take it and show it to the public.

Take a small clear glass filled with water.
Cover it with a card on top, press it tightly and, having said some "sim-salabim", sharply but carefully turn the glass over with the card down.
Water will not be poured out of the glass when held by the card.
The trick will surprise children who have not yet begun to study physics.

Write a note in advance with the text "I knew yesterday that you would guess 1". Change the last digit to 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Put the five notes written in this way in different secluded corners of the room: on the closet, under the pillow, in the chest of drawers, etc.
During the trick, ask one of the children to think of a number from 1 to 5. Then ask what number it was.
After the kid answers, show him where the note with the hidden number lies.
The effect of prediction is obtained.

This simplest trick is based on a problem with one unknown. Your viewers should already be able to count.
Ask someone in the audience to think of a number from 1 to 10.
Then, together with the one who made the guess, start calculating.
Ask him to add 5 to the hidden number (x + 5 = x and 5). Then subtract 1 (x and 5 - 1 = x and 4).
Then add 2 (x and 4 + 2 = x and 6), subtract 4 (x and 6 - 4 = x and 2), subtract 2 (x and 2 - 2 = x).
Then add 10 (x + 10 = x and 10).
Ask to subtract the hidden number from the resulting amount (x and 10 - x = 10).
After that, knowing that it turned out 10, ask for a few more times to add or subtract something, counting in your mind in parallel with the child, and announce the resulting amount at the end.

For this trick you will need a strong rope knotted into a ring.
Grasp the opposite ends of the ring with both hands and show the audience that the rope is strong and tied tightly.
Then throw the rope around your neck, continuing to hold the opposite ends of the tied ring with your hands.
Bring your hands close to each other with the loops clamped, as if pulling the rope.
Count to three. Just on the count of two, do not forget to imperceptibly intercept the left loop with your right finger, just next to the fingers of your left hand, and at the last count, pull the rope forward sharply, as if passing it through your neck.
The rope will very quickly go around you on the left and be in front of you. To your viewers across from you, it will feel like the rope has gone through your neck.

Take two identical coins and a thick glass.
Place one coin discreetly between the fingers of your right hand. With your right hand, take the glass so that your palm covers it from above, like a lid.
Take the second coin with your left hand and announce to the audience that you will now drive it into the glass through the bottom.
Then put a coin on the palm of your left hand and count to three, each time "driving" the coin through the bottom into the glass.
On the count of three, hit especially hard and simply unclench the hidden coin held in your right hand. She will loudly fall into the glass and attract the attention of the audience.
At this time, deftly and discreetly remove the demo coin in your left hand.

For this trick, you will need two multi-colored beautiful scarves and trousers with pockets.
Put on your trousers, and tuck the scarves compactly into the far upper corner of the trouser pocket.
Show empty hands to the children during the trick. You can even roll up your sleeves up to your elbows, as if to demonstrate that there is no catch.
Then turn the pockets of your trousers out and show them that they are completely empty.
Then return the pockets to their normal position and, taking out your hands, hook the scarves from the fold formed during the turning of the pockets.
Show them to the audience and smile slyly.

Take a hard-boiled peeled egg and a glass decanter. The neck of the decanter should not be very narrow, but not so that the egg can easily pass into it.
Have one of the children push the egg into the decanter without damaging either one.
When they are desperate, take a few matches, light them and throw them into the decanter. After they burn out, cover the neck of the decanter with an egg, like a cork.
The egg will gradually "crawl" into it, stretching under the influence of the vacuum.

Take a glass half filled with rice. Press a large walnut into the center to the bottom.
Invite the children to touch the nut without touching the rice.
After their fruitless attempts, take the glass in your left hand, and begin to gently tap on it with your right hand. As a result, the small rice will start moving and in a minute will push the large walnut upward.
Touching it with your finger will now be much easier.
