1. The Leaping Rubber Band-
This is one of the easiest tricks, but will still have your friends wondering
for a while.
All
you will need is a rubber band. On one hand, you put the rubber band around
your pointer and middle finger. From
the back of your hand, pull the rubber band back and bring down your pinkie
and the one next to it, over the rubber band. Let go of the rubber band
and it will look like the rubber band just leaped to different fingers!
2. The Bottomless Tube-
At first this trick won't be that exiting. But when the magic starts, everybody
will wonder how you did it.
You
will need an empty shampoo bottle, colored paper, and a ping-pong ball.
First, have an adult help you cut the top and the bottom off the shampoo
bottle. Next, with the colored paper, decorate the tube. Once you are done
decorating the tube, you are ready to perform. Drop the ball through the
tube and quickly catch it again at the bottom a couple of times. Do this
until you think that the audience is getting bored. When they least expect
it, squeeze the tube and drop the ball through. But instead of going through,
it will get caught Shake the bottle a couple of times and finally stop
squeezing the bottle, causing it to drop through!
3. The Bouncing Hanky-
This trick will have your friends laughing for days.
You
will need a bouncy ball, a rubber band, and a handkerchief. What you do
is before you perform, wrap the ball into the handkerchief and then put
the rubber band on it. In the middle of your act, pretend to wipe your
forehead. Then, throw the handkerchief on the ground, and it will come
bouncing right up again.
4. The Disappearing Diamond-
Here is a card trick that will make your friends really think that you
are a magician.
You
will need the four aces (hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades). Before you
perform, stick the ace of diamonds in your pocket (If anybody sees this
it will ruin the trick). Put the rest of the aces into a fan with the ace
of hearts upside down so that it will look like a diamond. So that the
audience can see, hold out the fan of cards and say, "The ace of diamonds,
spades, and clubs." Then turn the fan of cards down and say, "Presto Change-o!"
Reach into your pocket and show the audience the ace of diamonds. Leave
the other cards face down. Your audience will think you have two ace of
diamonds. You will turn over the fan and they will see that there are not
two aces of diamonds!
