VIDEO: Learn simple magic tricks

Magic trick - learn color magic

The color magic is considered one of the simplest and therefore ideally suited for beginners:

1. To do this, pour boiling water over a few leaves of red cabbage before the show. When the water has turned purple, let it cool overnight.
2. On the day of the show, pour the water into a pitcher before preparing 3 glasses. Half fill one with plain water. Prepare the second with a dash of vinegar, the third with a pinch of baking soda.
3. Now, if you pour some of the purple Brussels sprouts into each of the glasses during your show, only one will turn purple. The glass with the soda powder and the one with the vinegar turn red and turquoise in combination with the purple water.

Simple tricks to recreate - the felt-tip pen trick

The felt-tip pen trick can also be easily integrated into a show for you as a beginner:

1. You will hold 5 different colored felt-tip pens behind your back during the show and ask a spectator to give you a hand. Have him steal 4 of the 5 pegs behind your back and then sit down again without showing the pegs.

2. You must now give the impression that you are making a terrible effort to guess the remaining pen. In the meantime, however, you actually open the pen and use the tip of the pen to draw a tiny dot on one of your fingers.
3. Now bring the hand with the point forward again, while the one holding the pen is still behind the back. With an inconspicuous look at the point, you can now tell the audience which color is still in your possession and which the viewer has stolen from you.

Learning to do magic - the book animation

The third piece of a beginner's show is book animation:

1. Before you begin performing the trick, attach a thin bookmark to one part of the book. You will memorize the page you bookmarked.
2. During the show, ask a viewer to place the other bookmark anywhere in the book. You then take the book back and let the viewer's bookmark slip out inconspicuously during a few magical passes.
3. Then open the book where you attached your sign and loosen the attachment with one quick movement. Without looking at it, you give the book back to the viewer and tell them what you have memorized earlier.

Penny trick to imitate

The penny trick offers an even easier way to enchant your audience:

1. To do this, bend a match at an acute angle and place it on the neck of a bottle. In turn, place a cent on the match.
2. Have onlookers attempt to drop the penny into the bottle without touching the bottle, match, or penny itself. After your viewers have failed at the task, get to work.
3. Before you finally do the trick, you should have your hands heavily moistened without the onlookers noticing. All you have to do is drop water from your hands onto the match to make it stretch. As it eventually stretches, the cent slips off and falls into the bottle.

Trick 17 - a simple magic trick

The final simple trick that you can incorporate into your demonstration is considered trick 17 and Above all, requires the talent of you to distract your audience while doing it quickly and skillfully act.

1. Place a match in the open hand of a spectator, point forward, and hit it in the palm of their hand a few times. Explain to the audience that the match would make sounds that you could hear so that you could locate it later. Repeat this process at least 3 times and lead the match from the hand of the viewer to your ear again and again in order to be able to listen to the supposed tones.
2. Finally, as you listen, let the pride disappear behind your ear as your hand returns to the viewer's hand with quick movements. With your finger you prick the palm of your helper lightly before finally closing his hand into a fist. He will be sure that you would have given him the match back as you did before.
3. When he opens his hand again, the match is gone. However, since you have the volume you can find it in another part of the room - where you hid another match before the show.

In general, you should practice each of these tricks well before performing them in order to develop the dexterity that defines every wizard. Also note that you should never show a trick more than once in front of the same audience, otherwise you will be caught very quickly. Ultimately, magic is nothing more than an incredibly skillful and nimble illusion.
