Unusual tricks have always attracted people's attention and made them dream of mastering this difficult art. However, many people are left on the path to their dreams by the involuntary reverence that every person experiences before professional illusionists. Indeed, it is almost impossible to repeat many tricks without props, talent and many years of training. However, there are many simple tricks that a beginning illusionist can easily master.
Magic beads
Everyone knows that if you cut the thread on which the beads are strung, the glass balls will crumble. Is it so? The magician asks one of the spectators to lend him beads. Shows the decoration to everyone, holding it by the lock. After which he cuts the thread with scissors, and the beads are poured into a glass. It would seem that the decoration is damaged beyond repair, and the guest is upset.
However, the focus is not yet complete. The illusionist rolls up a little bag from a sheet of paper, pours the contents of the glass into it and throws a thread after it. A wave of the hand - and completely intact beads appear from the paper bundle, even the cut lock is back in place! Meanwhile, the magician straightens the paper bag, and everyone sees a sheet of ordinary blank paper.
This trick invariably causes delight and amazement of the audience and, at the same time, its secret is very simple. For it you will need the simplest beads with a lock and a trained assistant. Take a thin thread or fishing line and thread it through each bead, next to the main thread. Tie a large knot at both ends. You will find in your hands a necklace that looks ordinary, but it now consists of two threads, one of which can be cut without danger. 
To perform the trick, you will need to take the beads by the upper knot of the fake thread, holding them low above the glass, carefully cut off the lower knot. Any beads still held by the main thread will instantly slide into the bowl. You will still have a fake thread in your hands, and the sound of beads on glass will serve as additional confirmation of the death of the necklace.
After this, all you have to do is roll up a triangular bag out of paper and, after pouring beads and thread into it, pull out the undamaged beads back.
It is important! A fake thread dropped into a bag can give you away, so you need to learn how to quietly hide it in your hand, only pretending to push it into a paper parcel.
How to remove a shirt through a jacket
The spectacular trick, during which the magician takes off the shirt of a spectator invited to the stage without even touching the jacket he is wearing over it, has long become a classic of the genre. However, its secret is very simple, and you can easily do it at home.
You can't do this trick without the help of an assistant. The person who will be randomly selected among the guests must dress in a special way in advance: throw the shirt over his shoulders without putting his arms through the sleeves, and button the collar and cuffs. Once a jacket or any other long-sleeved clothing is put on top, it will be impossible to guess what your assistant’s unique “wardrobe” will be. During the performance, all you have to do is unbutton the buttons and pull the sleeve to remove the shirt. 
Turning a scarf into an egg
For a holiday with friends, the trick of turning a silk scarf into an egg is perfect. The magician shows everyone the handkerchief and, shaking it, pushes it into his clenched fist. Then he waves his hand, pronounces a spell and unclenches his hand. To the amazement of the audience, the handkerchief is no longer in his hand. Instead, there is an ordinary chicken egg in the palm of your hand. The magician breaks the egg with a dramatic gesture, and among the cracked shell everyone sees a piece of colored fabric miraculously appearing.
Transforming a scarf, like any tricks for beginners, can be easily repeated at home. To do this you will need:
- 1 egg;
- a sharp knife with a thin tip;
- a bright scarf made of thin fabric;
- sandpaper or nail file.
First, you need to prepare the props, the role of which will be played by the egg. Make a small round hole in it and drain the yolk and white through it. Dry the shell and carefully sand the edges of the hole with sandpaper. It is in this egg that the scarf will be hidden during the trick, and it is important that the shell does not break prematurely, catching on the fabric. Beforehand, the shell can be kept for several hours in saline solution to make it more durable.
When everything is ready, you can start the trick. Hide the egg in your fist so that it is not visible to the audience and, showing everyone the handkerchief, carefully push it through the hole into the shell. So, sim-salabim! The handkerchief in your hand turned into a chicken egg.
It is important! Externally, the egg looks whole, but a hole in the side will instantly reveal your secret. Therefore, you need to hold the egg so that your thumb constantly covers it.
You can watch this trick in this video:
You can order this egg
Scarf through the neck
Ask your friends what happens if you wrap a scarf around your neck and pull the ends sharply. “Nothing healthy,” you will hear. However, nothing is impossible for a magician, and you can demonstrate to your audience how an ordinary scarf, cinched around your neck, passes harmlessly through your body and remains in your hands.
The key to this trick lies in the special way of tying the scarf. Throw the fabric over your shoulders so that it runs along the back of your neck and hangs down on both sides of your chest. Grasp the opposite end of the scarf with each hand: the right one for the left one, and vice versa. Now it all depends on how quickly you can complete the “tying”. Bring the right end behind your neck to the left, leaving a small loop. With your other hand, at the same moment, throw the second part of the scarf, also covering the neck on the left, so that the fabric presses down and hides the loop that was created before.
Now your neck is wrapped in a scarf, which only appears to be pulled tight. A slight pull is enough, and the fabric, having slipped, will remain in your hands without causing any harm.
Of course, knowing the secret is not enough to successfully perform a trick. Remember that the more mysterious and unusual you behave, the more willing the audience will be to believe in your supernatural abilities.
Anyone who wants to feel like a wizard for a few minutes can learn simple tricks and tricks for beginners. Video training for several of them can be seen in this video:
You can start demonstrating tricks after mastering its secrets, having thought through the image of the magician to the smallest detail and rehearsing the technique of the maneuver.
To amaze others with supernatural abilities, you must follow a number of rules of real magicians:
- It is important to practice the trick several times in front of a mirror. Facial expression, position and manual dexterity matter.
- Speech when performing a trick should be bright and thoughtful, since it acts as a distracting maneuver. The same applies to gestures. You can invite an assistant who will draw the viewer’s attention to himself during the manipulations.
- A real magician never reveals the secret of a trick.
- Maneuvers must be appropriate for the child's age. Easy pranks with food, balloons, and coins are suitable for kids. Schoolchildren junior classes Scientific tricks are interesting, for teenagers - with cards, fire, and so on.
- When performing, one maneuver is not repeated twice - this will help preserve its secret and the mystery of the image of the magician.

Card tricks
Playing cards are the most common item among magicians. A huge number of tricks have been invented with them. Here are some of them.
Trick - guessing four cards
This trick requires four volunteers, since four cards will be guessed at once. You can surprise a large audience with a magic trick.
- First you need to shuffle the cards well.
- Then choose any four of them and show them to the first volunteer. Let him think of one of them, without telling which one.
- Place these four cards separately on the table.
- Take four more cards from the common deck and ask the second participant to think of his card.
- Place the second four in a stack on top of the first four.
- Repeat the same procedure with two more participants. There will be a stack of sixteen cards on the table.
- Then you need to arrange them into four piles of four cards.
- The first participant should be shown cards in all piles and asked to indicate which pile his card is in. In the pile that he indicates, his card will be the first, it can be safely called to the surprise of the guests.
- Then do the same with the second participant, his card will always be the second in the pile indicated by him.
- Likewise, the third member's intended card will be the third in the pile he chooses, and the fourth assistant's card will be the fourth.
- If several people name the same pile, the first person’s card will be first, the second person’s card will be second in the pile, and so on.
Bottom Card Trick
- It's good to shuffle the deck in front of an audience.
- After that, sneak a look at the bottom card and remember it.
- Holding the deck in your left hand, use your index finger to move the bottom card back slightly.
- Holding it, lay out the remaining cards on the table, taking them out from the bottom of the deck, face up. This needs to be done as quickly as possible.
- Ask the audience to shout “Stop!” Anytime.
- As soon as the command is given, take out the bottom card you are holding, place it face down on the table and call it. The reversed card will live up to its name.
Handkerchief trick
For this competition you will need an orange, an apple, a sharp knife and a scarf. You need to prepare for it in advance. You need to very carefully remove the peel from the orange using a knife, making thin cuts. It must be peeled in such a way that the peel remains intact at the top when placed neatly on the table. This peel should be placed on the apple so that spectators from a distance can see an absolutely whole orange.
Next, the orange is covered with a handkerchief, the magician says that he would like an apple instead of an orange. Then he grabs the orange peel through the handkerchief, with a magical movement of his hand, removes the handkerchief with the peel from the apple and hides it in his pocket. Only an apple remains on the table in front of an astonished audience.
Coin trick
For the trick you will need two coins and a glass with a stem. You can try this trick among your friends.
- Two coins are placed opposite each other on the rim of the glass.
- The challenge is to remove coins at the same time using only the thumb and index finger of one hand. Friends will abandon this idea after unsuccessful attempts.
- Here's how it's done. You should place your thumb on one of the coins, and the index finger of the same hand on the other.
- Moving your fingers at the same time, slide both coins down the sides of the glass and around its base.
- Then move your fingers together until the coins connect and in one motion tear them off the glass. Although this trick seems simple, it requires a steady hand and some skill.
Paper trick
For the trick you will need a piece of thick paper and 3 glasses.
- Two empty glasses of equal height are placed on the table and covered with a piece of thick paper.
- The magician declares that he can place a third empty glass on this paper bridge. None of those present will succeed in this procedure, since the paper cannot stand it and the glass falls.
- To make the trick work, you need to take a piece of paper and bend it several times along its length to form a series of folds. Place the resulting sheet on two glasses and then place the third glass on top. Corrugated paper will easily hold the glass.
Dancing matches
For the trick you will need a bowl of water, matches, a lump of sugar and a small piece of soap.
- Pour into a wide bowl clean water and carefully place 12 matches in a circle on its surface in the shape of a watch dial. The matches should be at the same distance and leave a free circle in the center.
- If you immerse a piece of sugar in the center circle, the matches will immediately begin to move towards the sugar. If you remove the sugar and replace it with a bar of soap, the matches will immediately return to their original position.
The reason for this behavior of matches is as follows. When sugar is immersed in water, it absorbs some water. The imperceptible current of water rushing towards the sugar carries the matches along with it. And soap weakens surface tension in the immediate vicinity around itself. In this case, a stronger tension occurs at the edges of the bowl, which causes the matches to move back.
Water trick
A very simple trick that even children can do. You will need a glass with smooth edges and an ordinary smooth postcard.
- Fill the glass to the top with water and lightly moisten the rim.
- Then place the card on the glass.
- Holding the card firmly in place, invert the glass and remove your hand from the card. According to the laws of physics, the water will remain in the glass, since the force of air pressure on the card is greater than the buoyant force of the water. But even science has exceptions, so to be safe, it is better to perform the trick over a bathtub.
In magic tricks and practical jokes, the main task is to surprise the audience and amuse them. The most curious, of course, will figure out the essence of the trick, slightly racking their brains, and the rest, at least a little, will plunge into the atmosphere of magic and fairy tales. The main thing is that the pranks are good and make even the most serious guest smile.

This trick will help your child become interested in chemistry. After all, this science explains that water does not flow out because the deformed molecules of the bag create a kind of seal, sealing the area between it and the pencil.
You can pierce the bag with more than one pencil, or use long nails instead.
Coin tricks
Some of them also used water. Surprise your child by saying that you have a magic jar that increases money. Pour water into it and throw a coin. Then cover the neck with a napkin and move your hand over it, casting a spell. Remove the napkin and ask your child to look through the top of the jar. He will see that there is more money.
These coin tricks are based on the law of physics regarding the refraction of light. Before the illusion begins, place three coins under the jar. If you look at the container from the side, they will not be visible, and you can only see the coin that you put inside the transparent container.
And at the end of the attraction, ask your child to look through the top of the jar, and then he will see that there is more money.
Other tricks with a coin are no less interesting. Place the following items on the table:
- plate;
- paper;
- matches or lighter;
- a glass that is one-third or one-quarter filled with water;
- dry glass;
- coin
If the crowd doesn't know how to do these tricks with coins, amaze them. Crumple the paper, place it in a glass and set it on fire.
Take the glass with a gloved hand, quickly turn it over and immediately lower it in this form onto a plate of water. Soon the liquid will flow into the glass, and the coin will remain lying nearby. Wait a moment for it to dry, then remove without getting your fingers wet.
Tricks and their secrets reveal the secret of this attraction. Made the water in the glass move Atmosphere pressure. When the paper burned, the air pressure in the glass increased and forced some of it out. After the glass was turned over, the paper went out and the air cooled. The pressure weakened, air began to enter the container, which drove the water inside along with it.
Coin tricks can turn into real performances. To arrange one of them, you will need:
- Matchbox;
- map;
- two completely identical coins;
- glass of water;
- cocktail straw;
- magnet.
Now say any spell, while saying that you are turning the coin into water. To do this, take a little water from a straw into your mouth, and then put the coin, which supposedly turned from water into money, on the back of your hand and show it to those present. Show those gathered that the coin is not in the old place. Remove the box of matches from the card and pick it up. Apart from three matches there will be nothing there, including money.
Such magic tricks with coins are admirable. Not everyone will understand how such a trick is done. It's actually simple.
Even before the trick begins, you need to put the coin in your mouth by the cheek and hold it with your tongue.
Better take the money big size so as not to accidentally swallow it. With this part of the trick you need to be extremely careful so that the coin lying in your mouth does not lead to disaster.
Even before you perform tricks with a coin, place a flat magnet at the very bottom of the box. Place matches on top. When you place the box on the card, the coin underneath will be magnetically attached to the card.
When you pretend that you turned the coin into water and drank it, take the money out from behind your cheek and demonstrate to others that the money, supposedly in a liquid state, rose up the straw and ended up in your mouth. Next, lift the box of matches along with the card, holding it. Demonstrate to the audience that in the Bermuda Triangle the matchstick coin disappeared.
Show them reverse side cards so they can see, there is no money there either. Now you need to make a diversion to hide the coin. To do this, slowly open the box of matches by removing it from the case. While doing this, discreetly hold the money. Place the matches in the box and use your finger to move the coin from the underside of the case under the bottom of the box. Place the cover over the matches.

And we bet you can’t blow out the candle?!
Anyone can blow out a candle, but is it possible to do it if you have to blow through a funnel? The funnel is wide, and its end is narrow - it will be difficult to carry out this action. Especially when the candle is in the middle of the funnel, it will be completely impossible to blow out the candle. Even if you use all your lung power, the flame will not flutter.
However, there is a way to make the candle go out easily. It is important to know the location where you need to place the candle. You need to place the funnel so that the flame is at the edge of the funnel, and not in the middle. The candle will go out immediately. Why does this happen?
When air comes out through a narrow tube through a wide hole, it never gets into the middle.
Before exiting, the air is dispersed along the walls of the vessel, so the air can only reach the flame located at the edges of the funnel. The trick will surprise all viewers with its magical feature. Although this is just a law of physics.

The magician needs to demonstrate the contents in the glasses and pour the liquid from one to another. The result will be something like ink. You can invite guests to draw something on any surface with the resulting mixture or hold a competition for the best drawing.
How to pierce a ball so that it remains intact?

They are convinced that it will not be possible to pierce it without consequences. But the magician knows how to perform miracles, so he will do it with ease.
The child will need a matchbox, or rather its case. The young wizard must use it to fill the balloon with air. Then pierce the match holder, and then the ball itself. The children will see that he remained safe and sound.
Inflate a balloon without using your lips
Before showing the wonders of the trick, you need to ask the audience to inflate the balloon so that the lips and pumps are not involved. Guests cannot complete the task in any way, no matter how hard they try. But there is only one person who can show a master class and that is a magician.
To focus you will need a regular glass bottle, you need to put a balloon on it. Then place the vessel in hot water, when about two minutes have passed, the ball will begin to increase.
Why is this happening? The bottle begins to heat up, and accordingly the air also becomes warm. When it heats up, it expands and is forced out of the bottle, accumulating in the ball.
As soon as the bottle cools, the ball returns to its original appearance.
Incredibly, the balloon can inflate on its own
- Again, the host asks the guests to fill the balloon with air without using their lips. The young wizard should take a plastic bottle and pour about half a glass of vinegar into it (adults should supervise).
- Five teaspoons of baking soda are placed in the ball. Place a ball on the neck of the bottle. When the soda is poured into the bottle, the balloon inflates on its own.
Why is this happening? In this focus, as in the previous one, a chemical reaction occurs. When soda combines with vinegar, carbon dioxide is released, which is why the balloon is filled with it.
