Examples of simple and easy magic tricks for children at home.

At all times, people have been interested in strange, mysterious events that they could not find logical explanation. This explains the success of magicians who give a person a fairy tale, small miracle, which you want to be surprised and really want to believe.

In the professional environment of illusionists, it is forbidden to reveal the secrets of tricks, but many tricks have already ceased to be a mystery. On the one hand, this deprives a person of miracles and secrets in real life, and on the other hand, it gives you the opportunity to be amazed at human ingenuity and try to master the art of magic on your own. “Sleight of hand and no fraud” - this is the principle by which magicians work. The goal of a trick is not to deceive, but to surprise and delight. This video "Easy Tricks" will teach you a simple trick with coins.

How to learn to perform tricks?

Showing tricks is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. It is not enough to learn the very principle of the trick and its features; it is important to convince the person that this is really magic, and not a deft movement of the hands. To do this, you simply need to master acting skills. Those who do not have acting skills can try to learn it.

Learning to perform tricks correctly:

Firstly, a person must believe in his focus, in his abilities. He must behave like a real magician, who is confident that he is creating real magic and that everything will definitely work out for him.
Contact with the audience plays a big role. The illusionist's words should depend on the audience, appropriate to the age and occupation of those watching the trick. Questions to the audience and dialogues with them help a lot.
It is important to be confident in your abilities and not get lost under any circumstances. Even if something goes wrong, you need to quickly get your bearings and pretend that everything is going according to plan.
No one should get into an argument with the audience. In the crowd of spectators there will always be a skeptic who will not be surprised by anything. There is no need to waste your time focusing on him; it will still be difficult to convince him. More attention needs to be given to those viewers who really expect a miracle and believe in the magician.
After performing a trick, there is no need to divulge its secret. This will undermine the authority of the magician and spoil the impression of even the best trick.
Before performing a trick, it must be rehearsed for a long time and carefully. One unsuccessful trick can ruin the impression of all previous tricks, even the most successful ones. Remember that authority is very hard to earn and easy to lose.
Learning how to do magic tricks is easy for those who train, rehearse and educate themselves a lot, learning new tricks and techniques.

Three ordinary coins themselves attach to each other and, without falling, hang calmly in the air! Magic, and that's all. How to master this magic?

Learning to do a coin trick:

We take three ordinary coins in denominations of 5, 10 and 50 kopecks.
For the trick to be successful, you need to take two small magnets.
We attach these magnets to one coin and we can safely perform a magic trick!
We make sure that the audience does not see the magnet. A little secret: so that the audience cannot understand the secret of the trick, it is necessary to draw their attention to elements that are not at all important for the trick. This way they will be distracted and will not be able to figure out the trick.
Before starting the trick, the magnets should be held in your hand and then discreetly attached.

That's all! This is how easy it is to master seemingly complex and amazing tricks. Let's learn to create miracles with our own hands and surprise our family and friends! Good luck!

Any viewer at least once in his life wanted to learn the secrets of illusionists and magicians; in this article we will tell you how to do simple magic tricks for children at home. For beginning magicians aged 8-10 years, you can come up with a whole performance and an unforgettable show for their peers for their birthday at home and beyond.

Interesting tricks for children do not require special skills or special equipment; a child of 8–10 years old can easily cope with them. To begin a performance, you need to carefully prepare and hone your skills to make the trick perfect. An amazing birthday party trick will make your offspring applaud and applaud, and will also boost his self-esteem.

In order for the tricks to be performed according to all the rules, the child should come up with a costume and stage image. Ask your child what he would rather be, a street magician - performing card tricks, an illusionist like David Copperfield, or even a real magician and wizard. Based on your child’s preferences, make the necessary props and a costume that matches the image.
It’s not difficult to learn how to amaze an audience with magic tricks, the main thing is to develop sleight of hand and achieve mastery in 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.). Showing such simple miracles V kindergarten or for a birthday at home for 10 year old children, you can teach them science at the same time. At the age of 10, children become more socialized, and such tricks perfectly develop communication skills and leadership qualities.

How to pierce a bag of water so it doesn't spill

For this scientific trick you will need a thick plastic bag, pencil and water. Ordinary tap water is poured into the bag; for effect, you can tint it with food coloring or just watercolors. Then we tie a bag with collected water and pierce it with a pencil. And voila! The bag does not leak and the liquid remains in its place.

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

How to put a coin through a table

Tricks with coins for children are probably the most popular. How often do we see in films how grown-up guys take out a coin from behind the ear of little toddlers? But this is just sleight of hand, but while at home you can slightly change the focus with the coin. To do this you need an ordinary table and a coin. The highlight of this magic is the penetration of the coin through the surface of the table. It's quite simple to do.

The first step is to position yourself at the table so that the viewer does not see your legs under the table. The entire action is performed with two hands. The active hand (right) is constantly in sight, and the left is under the table (we create the appearance that we are catching a coin). The most difficult moment is to quietly throw a coin from the edge of the table into your left hand.
By making this movement with three fingers, we create the appearance of holding a coin. Then we clap our palms at the same time right hand on the table, and with the left hand we knock the coin from under the bottom. Next, we simply take out a coin and present it all as magic.

Focus coin through table

A balloon that can't burst

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

Then the baby inflates the “enchanted” balloon and pierces it all the way through where the tape is glued. And lo and behold! The balloon didn't burst, you just need to practice in advance.

Water turns to ice

A fun trick for freezing liquids based on the chemical properties of water. As you know, at temperatures below 0 degrees, 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 Fill it with tap water and put it in the freezer in the refrigerator for about two hours. Be sure to make sure that the water does not freeze, but only becomes very cold and close to freezing. Then you can take out the ice for drinks and start pouring icy liquid from the bottle onto it, everyone will be delighted to see the liquid freeze and turn into a solid state, i.e. into the ice.
You can also invite the public to try ice cream from their favorite carbonated drink. To begin, before your show, shake your soda bottle and refrigerate it as directed above. Always make sure that the drink does not harden; this time varies depending on the refrigerator. Therefore, go and check from time to time to ensure that no ice has formed.
Then, when the time has come for the performance, take out a bottle of soda (the main thing is not to shake it, so as not to ruin the focus) and open the cap gradually releasing the gas. Then slowly pour the drink into a cooled container, and you will see how it turns into ice cream before your eyes. You can also create this magic right in the bottle. To do this, shake the cooled soda.
If you prefer to experiment with water, you can pour it into a cold cup and throw in a piece of ice. The effect will be the same, only the liquid does not freeze immediately, but seems to stick to the piece of ice. By stirring with a spoon or straw you will get a homogeneous mass. If you are using sweet drink, then it can be eaten like ice cream and offered to those who wish. It turns out to be a kind of molecular cooking.

Matchbox

Even a child in kindergarten can do the funniest and simplest trick using a matchbox. First you need to prepare the props, take a matchbox and take out the inner box for storing matches, cut it in the center and turn one of the halves over with the back side. Then, using tape or paper, glue the box together so that it consists of two halves, turned in different sides.
Next, put matches into the glued box and push them back into the box. The following actions: take the box and pull out the inner box halfway (so that the gluing is not visible), observers see the matches, then close the box and turn its back side towards the viewer.

Everyone thinks that when you turn the box over and open it, all the matches will fall out. But it was not there! You pull out the box, but the matches remain in place and for the viewer the magic lies in the fact that the box inside has turned over on its own.

Rope trick

You will need two participants and two identical ropes. To begin, one participant (No. 1) has a rope tied around his wrists in the form of handcuffs. The second participant is tied with a rope on one hand, the rope itself is passed through the “fetters” 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 bonds without removing the rope from their wrists or cutting them.

From the outside, this thing looks very unsophisticated, and it seems that it is impossible to free yourself. But there is a way out, and here’s how: a rope is taken from participant No. 2 somewhere in the middle and its loop is threaded into the loop on the wrist of the first participant. Then the threaded loop No. 2, participant No. 1 puts on the hand through which the second loop was passed. And participant No. 2 throws off the loop from No. 1 and is freed.

Rope trick

Magic kits

You can give a set of magic tricks for children as a gift to your little one for her birthday or simply buy one for logical development and thinking. Ready-made kits can be purchased in online stores; such kits usually come with instructions for performing tricks.

These may be chemical or physical experiments, illusions, card tricks, practical jokes and much more. These simple tricks at home prepare a child for science and, by playing with his parents, he develops oratorical skills and creativity develops.

Soda experience

The clever soda gobbledygook fascinates and confuses those watching at first glance. The trick itself involves restoring a crushed aluminum soda can and then pouring the drink from the supposedly “empty” container.

First, you will need a half-liter jar of your favorite drink (unopened). And also a needle, tape and a black circle of paper (the size of the hole in the 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. Then, when the drink is about one-third out, seal the hole with tape. Then we carefully crush the jar itself, giving it a used look. Place a black circle of paper on the lid. From a distance it will look like the can 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 a can of the desired soda. You take the crumpled container and carefully show that it seems to be empty.
Then, with the words - abracadabra, shake the bottle slightly and make mysterious gestures with your hands (due to the internal gas pressure in the can from shaking, it will begin to burst and the remaining drink will straighten the bent aluminum). Then, distracting with your other hands and words, carefully and imperceptibly remove the black circle with your thumb. Next, you open the bottle cap (revealing the ring) and pour the drink into the glass.

Paper cover

Another experience built on science and physics. Again liquid, glass, but now paper. Fill the 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 sheet of paper and quickly turn it over, holding the paper.

And lo and behold, the water did not spill, but remained in the glass. You can modify this experiment using a liquid dye and you can take different volumes of vessels. It could be a small glass liter jar, vase, etc. The main thing is that the neck of the vessels is even.

Cool trick with water in a glass

How to do magic tricks?

Surely anyone has ever been amazed by the performance of an illusionist who can make an object disappear, appear out of nowhere, or even fly. Almost every child associates a magician with a rabbit from an empty top hat. Everyone who watched the magician's deft tricks wanted to know their secret and learn at least simple tricks. In this article we will try to tell you how to learn how to do simple tricks with cards and coins.

Basic rules of a good magician

Never reveal the secret of your trick. This way the viewer’s interest in your tricks will quickly fade away. Allow the observer to make suggestions regarding the technique of the trick, but do not argue with him.
Each trick must be carefully rehearsed. To do this, choose a mirror to help you. Try the trick a few times. If you never make a mistake, then the trick is ready to be performed in public. Remember to think carefully about your gestures and speech.
When performing a trick, you should not tell the viewer what is going to happen next. A quick-witted viewer will immediately recognize the technique of the trick. This is why it is not recommended to perform a trick twice.

Card tricks

Let's look at several methods of tricks with cards. You can surprise your children or friends with such tricks by mastering them without leaving home.

Guessing the spectator's card

To begin, the spectator must select any card from the deck, remember it and put it back. And the magician, after performing some manipulations, needs to find it. The whole secret of the trick lies in the key card located next to the card chosen by the spectator. The magician has the opportunity to peep this card at the moment while the spectator returns his card back to the middle of the deck. The card should face up.

Then the deck is ostentatiously shuffled and after shuffling the magician, looking through the backs, looks for the key card and accordingly finds the one that the spectator pulled out.

A map appears out of thin air

This trick requires maximum dexterity. It consists in the fact that the magician shows the audience a completely empty palm, and then makes a wave and a card appears in his hand.

The main secret of the trick is good finger training. After all, the corners of the smaller edge of the card are pinched between the index and middle fingers, the little finger and the ring finger. This way, with your palm straightened, the card will not be noticeable.

We demonstrate a clean palm so that the card pinched from behind is not visible. Then, with a sharp movement, we bend four fingers towards the palm, and with our thumb we fix the card on top. We straighten our fingers and see that the card remains in the palm of our hand.

Using this technique, you can do the opposite trick with the card disappearing. True, you will have to train harder for such a trick.

Coin tricks

A coin is an item that is found in almost every person’s pocket. Learning various tricks with coins is not difficult if you devote enough time to practice.

Coin in a glass

For this trick you need a glass, a coin and a 50x50 cm scarf. The coin should be glued to the bottom of the glass. Pour water into a glass and show it to the audience. After this, cover the glass with a handkerchief and then quickly remove the handkerchief. Invite someone in the audience to look into the glass. This way the viewer will be able to see the coin underwater, which was not visible from the side.

Bouncing coin

For the trick, you will need a two-liter bottle and a coin that matches the diameter of the bottle neck. Leave the bottle in the freezer for five minutes. After the bottle is removed, place a coin soaked in water on the opening of its neck. When it comes into contact with frozen plastic, the coin will bounce.

Working with an assistant

Place the coin on the table, covering it on top with a 30x30 cm scarf. Then you need to ask the audience to come up to you and check for the coin under the scarf. After this, transfer the handkerchief from one hand to the other so that the coin disappears and the audience, convinced of its presence, should be surprised. Take the coin from the pocket of the spectator, who should actually be your assistant. It is the assistant, who came last to check the presence of the coin, who quietly takes it away.

Coin in the center of the scarf

Sew two identical scarves together, sewing a coin into the center. Allow the spectator to select a large coin from the handful offered. Place the coin in the center of the scarf spread on the table. Then turn the scarf over and put an elastic band on it, squeezing the area under the coin. Start stretching the scarf at the corners so that the elastic eventually comes off. The coin should not fall, because when you turn the scarf over, it ends up in your hand. The pre-sewn coin should remain in the scarf.

We have given a few enough simple tricks, which will not be difficult to perform even for children. If you have a desire to learn how to do more complex tricks that require increased dexterity and attention, video lessons can help you with this. Training videos can be found on Youtube.com; you need to enter a query in the search box, for example, “learning to do magic tricks.”

Everyone loves holidays. But, unfortunately, in most cases, family celebrations are banal feasts with watching TV and listening to music. And while adults can somehow entertain themselves, kids get very bored at such events. An excellent option would be home magic tricks. You can create a whole performance for children at home.

Water trick

In front of the audience are four plastic glasses, half filled with water. You have a fifth container in your hands, from which you pour liquid into the existing ones. Before the eyes of amazed spectators, the water in the glasses changes color.

The secret of the trick is simple and is as follows:

Place four glue dots on the top of the glass you will be working with;
sprinkle 4 different food colors on them;
Shake off excess powder well and carefully fill the glass with water;
Every time you pour out water, the liquid will turn a certain color.

Coin trick

If you want to organize fun party or just have fun family evening, an excellent solution would be magic tricks for children. At home you can show original and simple tricks. So, having wrapped a coin in a sheet of paper, you need to shake the package, pronouncing magic words. Opening it, you will find that there is nothing inside. By repeating the manipulation again, you will present that same coin to the surprised spectators.

The secret of the trick is that you should actually have 2 identical pieces of paper. They should be equally rolled into small envelopes and glued together. When showing the audience a piece of paper, turn it so that they do not notice the “hidden place”. When you shake the package, turn it over with the empty envelope facing up. Repeating the manipulation, change the position again.

Banana trick

You can demonstrate different magic tricks for children at home. And not only interesting, but also delicious. So, give the kids bananas, and when they start peeling them, they will be surprised to notice that the fruits have already been cut into pieces.

This trick is not difficult to do. Take a pin or long thin needle. Gently pierce the peel so that the point is completely inserted into the banana pulp. Move the needle up and down and then remove it from the banana. This manipulation must be done with the entire length of the fruit.

Ball trick

Interesting tricks for children at home can be shown to any adult; they will help add something new to a family holiday or boring evening. For the next trick you will need inflatable ball. Also a plate filled with oatmeal, small pieces of paper or some other light objects. Take the ball in your hands and start rubbing it on your hair or woolen fabric. Bring the item to the plate without putting it in it. The contents will begin to be attracted to the surface of the ball, like a magnet. These are ordinary laws of physics, which, with the help of imagination, turn into easy tricks for children. At home they will be great entertainment.

Paper trick

Bet the audience that you can fit through a hole cut in a piece of paper. This is, rather, not a trick, but a test of intelligence. Hand out paper and scissors to everyone in the audience. While they are thinking, do the following with your set:

fold a sheet of paper lengthwise;
make a cut perpendicular to the fold so that it does not reach the edge of the sheet;
now cut the sheet from edge to fold in the same way;
perform such manipulations until the entire sheet is cut with such a fringe;
with the exception of the extreme strips, all the rest must be cut along the fold;
unfolding the sheet, you will see that a person can easily pass through the resulting hole.

Coca-Cola can trick

If you want to perform simple magic tricks for kids at home, try refilling an empty and crumpled tin can with cola. This trick requires preparation and includes the following steps:

take a sheet of black construction paper and cut a piece into a shape that resembles the hole of an open can;
slightly lift the tongue and tuck the cut-out shape under it (this will create the appearance that the jar is open and empty);
Make a barely noticeable hole in the top of the jar (on the side), through which pour half of the contents;
go out to the guests and show them the jar;
to prove that it is empty, turn it over and shake it, and then crush it (but not too much);
now pinch the previously made hole with your finger and start shaking the jar (slowly at first, and then faster);
continue to do this until the jar is leveled (this will be achieved due to the gas contained in the drink);
Continuing to surprise your guests, move your palm over the top of the jar, quietly removing the black piece of paper;
Now all you have to do is show your guests the result, open the container and pour cola into the glass.

Thread trick

This trick can be performed by both adults and children. The main thing is thorough preparation. Take a jacket and sew a secret pocket inside. Wrap several meters of thread around a small pencil or pen, the color of which will contrast with the clothing, and place it in it. Using a needle, pull the thread outward so that its small tip is visible. When speaking in front of an audience, you will need to feign sincere surprise when you see a thread on your jacket. Try brushing it off several times. Once you are sure that your attempts are unsuccessful, pull the tip. Viewers will be surprised that the thread does not end.

Fruit trick

now put a thick scarf over your hand, and when removing it, try to remove the orange peel;
surprised spectators will see an apple in your hand.

Rice trick

If you want to surprise your young guests, you're probably wondering how to learn magic tricks. At home, it is enough for children to show tricks with ordinary objects, showing a little imagination, cunning and artistry. So, the most common rice can be made magical. To do this you need to do the following:

prepare 2 identical plastic boxes for mayonnaise, margarine, cream cheese or other products (they should be opaque and also have a lid);
Fill one of the containers almost to the top with rice;
Glue the cut-out fragment of the lid to the bottom of the second box so that its volume is halved;
place the filled box on a wide dish, cover it with a “converted” container on top and turn the structure upside down;
walk around the room with this design, casting magic spells;
Now remove the top box - the rice will begin to spill out, as if there was more of it.

Demonstrating chemistry tricks for children at home

Chemical experiments can be carried out not only in scientific laboratory, but also at home. At the same time, this spectacle can be imagined as something magical. So, tricks for children at home can be as follows.

In the evening, prepare a decoction of red cabbage to steep overnight. Now you will need 3 glasses, each of which should be filled by a third with water, a powder solution and diluted vinegar. By adding the resulting decoction to each of these vessels, you will obtain a liquid of purple, green and red colors, respectively.
Place a layer of paper napkins at the bottom of an opaque glass or mug. Place a few pieces of ice on top. Now you need to pour enough water into the container so that the napkins absorb it. After casting a magic spell, you should turn the glass over and demonstrate how you turned the liquid into ice.
There is a more spectacular way to turn water into ice. To do this, you need to take the liquid into a bottle and put it in the freezer. After 2 hours, the water will reach its freezing point, but will still be liquid. To perform the trick, place an ice cube in the middle of a large dish. Start pouring water from the freezer onto it in a thin stream. It will freeze before your eyes.
Mix milk with lemon juice. You will use this liquid as ink. Using a brush dipped in the lemon-milk mixture, apply text or designs to white sheets of paper and let them dry. Now invite the children to read the message. When you realize that they have no idea about anything, start heating the sheet with a hairdryer or ironing it. After a minute, the text or drawing you applied earlier will begin to appear on it.

Tricks that children perform at home

Of course, kids love watching magic tricks, but showing them on their own will be even more interesting for them. So, young wizards can demonstrate the following tricks:

In front of the public, the child places 5 coins between the pages of the book, closes it and casts a spell over the tome using a wand. After that, he shakes out not 5, but already 10 coins. The secret is simple. You need to hide extra coins in the spine in advance, which will fall out later.
The magician goes on stage and discovers that he forgot to put on his bow tie. After this he says Magic word, turns around and finds himself wearing a tie. To do this trick, you need to sew a thin but strong elastic band to the butterfly in advance. The tie is hidden under the armpit. During the turn, the child slightly raises his hand, and the butterfly is in its place.

Who stole the flame?

You can even steal a flame

If you have such an old-fashioned lighter, then you can definitely impress everyone with your trick. To begin, take a pencil or pen and move the wick slightly to the side from its normal position. Then light your lighter with your usual movement and move your hand over the flame, creating the impression that you are “stealing” the fire. This will cut off the flow of oxygen in the flame, but the wick will still burn inside the kind of pocket that you created when you moved it. You need a little air to light the flame again, for this you can lightly blow on the lighter or create an air flow with smooth movements of your hand over the wick.

Stand the can on its hind legs

Make your soda can rear up

Once you've finished about half of the soda or any other drink in the can, you can show your friends another trick.

But don't worry, you can become a virtuoso performer just by moving your hands randomly. Play in octaves using only your pinky and thumb. Make sure that your fingers are always placed on the black keys. By pressing any of the black keys with your pinky and thumb, you can also finger them with your remaining three fingers, creating amazing sounds.

Magical twisting of the shell

Magician's serving

Sleight of hand and something else

Each of us has at least once seen the same trick with the tablecloth being torn off the dinner table right from under the plates and glasses. However, if you tried this same trick at home, it probably ended disastrously. The whole trick here is to pull the linen down, rather than towards itself, and in the position of the tablecloth itself. Cover the table so that the tablecloth does not hang from the edge opposite to your position. The farther this side of the tablecloth is from the edge of the table, the easier it will be to pull it off the other edge.

Floating rings

Make them levitate

Stretch the elastic band between your hands and first thread it into the ring. Hold a small section of this rubber band in the fist of one hand so that it is not visible. Pull the visible part so that the hand with the hidden part of the rubber thread is lower, so your ring will roll towards it. Then slowly release the hidden piece of elastic, and with it the ring will begin to rise to the other hand. From the outside it will look as if the ring itself is starting to float and rise.

Make Lincoln smile

Happiness is in your hands

Make the famous President of America smile widely or be very sad. To do this you will need a five dollar bill. To make America's sixteenth president happy or sad, make three vertical folds, two of which should go through the corners of the mouth, and one right down the center of the lips. But bend the one in the middle inward, and bend the other two outward. The banknote will be curved in a zigzag, and its center, when viewed from the side, will resemble the letter “M”. Now, by changing your viewing angle, you will make Lincoln on the banknote either smile or sad.

Magic knot on a napkin

Tie the scarf into a knot without letting go of the ends

Place a standard rag napkin on the table and invite your friends to tie the fabric into a knot, but without letting go of the ends. They are unlikely to succeed. But you know what needs to be done. To tie it, simply cross your arms over your chest before grasping the ends of the napkin. The hand of one hand should be on top of the elbow joint, and the other, respectively, below. Next, just spread your arms in different directions, and the knot will tie itself.
