This is a great trick for parties. As you can see i have a bowl full of confetti here.
But you know what I do. I want to turn this into a magic trick. So what I'm going to do is take
this handkerchief and cover it up. And now, with a little magic, I say the magic words "abracadabra."
The magic has happened and the confetti turns into...
candy.
I'm
going to perform a little magic for you today. I have this cup. I'm going to try and magically
cause the cup to appear inside of this bag here. I think i can do it, we shall see.
First of all, let's just cover up our glass here. Now the magic is going to happen.
The cup is somehow going to end up inside of the bag so let's do that.
Okay. I agree that it wasn't very impressive. But wait. All right. You wanted some magic
didn't you? I'm going to try and make the cup vanish and go into the bag.
Ready? I'm just going to go "one," "two," "three," and inside of the bag is the cup.
Here's how you do the trick. You need a paper cup and you cut a flap inside of the cup here.
So at this point, you toss the ball and drop it into the cup. But with your thumb
you reach in and you press it down on the ball. So when you turn it over,
you take your hand and you pretend to take the ball.
Just like this. Set the cup down and the ball falls down. It's already there. Now,
you can just do the vanish and inside of the cup is your ball.
Here's how to perform the trick. You need a big bowl. You need a bowl full of confetti. I'm just
using shredded paper here from my shredder from the office. i think just about every
house has a shredder so you can just get that for free without buying confetti. You need two cups,
regular cups. You need a handkerchief and you need candy. So the candy goes into
one cup just like this and here's the secret.
I've taken a piece of cardboard and cut it out to match the cup here. And as you can see,
I've glued on top some confetti. So when this is in the cup it looks just like confetti.
Now you take this with the candy and the gimmick. It goes underneath the confetti in the bowl.
You're ready to perform the trick. You start out. Show that you have the confetti. You show the cup
and then you just scoop a little bit out showing the confetti so people can openly see the
confetti. Now take this cup and you're going to bury it into the bowl. And say that you're trying
to get a lot of confetti here. And what you do is you make the switch underneath this confetti.
You reach into the bowl and you pull out the second cup and so this is the second cup here.
And now, you can kind of wipe some of it off - it looks just like a cup full of confetti.
Take your handkerchief and cover it up. And now, something I forgot to mention earlier
is that I have a piece of tape here. So I can grab it. So this will come up. So
underneath the handkerchief I cover it and underneath the handkerchief I'm grabbing
this piece here and then removing it. And then the magic happens. And then I end up with candy.
Here's how to perform the trick. What you're going to need is - I just happen to have a gift bag but
you can use anything. It's got a little height. You have to watch the angle because if people are
up higher they can see into whatever it is you have here.
And you're going to give away the secret. But all you need is an ordinary bag. I just happened to
use a gift bag. You can also use a hat - that's actually the classic way to perform the trick.
You're going to need a cup. Actually, any cup. It doesn't have to be clear. I just happened to use a
clear plastic cup here. And you need a napkin or handkerchief. But this is gimmicked ahead of time.
What I've done was - I don't know if this might be a little hard to see, but what I did was I took
and outlined on a piece of plastic. I happened to use a part of a drink lid that's plastic but you
can also use a piece of cardboard. It really doesn't matter. You outline on the cardboard
the diameter of the cup's mouth. So what I've done is this piece of plastic is the same size as
the mouth of the cup here. And you're ready to perform the trick.
Just have your handkerchief lying down on the table. You show your bag, show your glass
and then you say you're going to try and make the cup magically go into the bag.
Take your handkerchief and place it over the cup. And what you want to do is make
sure that the plastic disc or cardboard disc is right on top of the mouth of the glass.
Now, under cover of the handkerchief you lift everything: the cup and your disc together.
You want the spectators to kind of get used to the idea of a cup being under the handkerchief.
Now you say, "I'm going to magically cause the cup to go into the bag." And then you just go
ahead and put it in the bag and you say "oh that's not what you had in mind is it?" You
really want it to travel in a magical way. Now at this point I've left the glass in the bag
and now I'm just gripping that plastic disc or in your case it might be cardboard.
So you can see the disc here but you can see that the disc actually looks a lot like but
like there's a glass underneath the handkerchief. And that's the secret. But of course, the glass
is already in here. I left it there. And i just have this disc here, acting like it's the glass.
And then, when i want to make the vanish I snap my finger. I just grab the napkin
and it seems to vanish and then i can show the glass inside of the bag.
What you're going to need for this trick is a cup. A paper cup works great because it's lightweight.
You also need a spoon. It's a special property with the spoon we'll talk about in just a moment.
You need a napkin or a scarf or a handkerchief. And here's the secret. It might be a little
hard for you to see right there. I have a magnet. That's the secret to the trick. And
the other part you're going to have to know or find in your house. You'll have to find a
spoon that is attracted to the magnet. Now on this channel we always try to teach you tricks with
objects that you have around your house so you can probably go through your kitchen and find a spoon,
or any utensil for that matter, that's attracted to a magnet. I doesn't have to be a spoon. It
could be a whisk or anything that you have that will work with a magnet. Now regarding the magnet
you might be surprised. Now you can buy magnets at your local hobby or craft store
but they typically come in packages of five or six or a dozen. So what I suggest you do
is that almost everybody has a junk drawer. So if you have that you can look through there and
almost everyone probably has an old magnet that fell off of a kitchen magnet or something that
was used on a white board. You might have those little magnetic pins that go on different white
boards or on a refrigerator. So you can check there and see if you can find a tiny magnet
that is attracted to your spoon. And you'll be ready to perform the trick. Have your spoon handy.
Now all I've done is taped, I've taped the magnet to the handkerchief in the corner
so the side with the magnet goes towards me. So in the beginning show the cup and you just wave the
handkerchief around. It looks completely innocent and normal, even though the magnet is right here.
Take the handkerchief and just push it into the cup. Now here's where the secret comes in. You
have your magnet here on the side towards you and you rest the magnet down and allow
the handkerchief to hang outside of the cup with the magnet on the outside. Now, I'll give you the
personal view here that the spectators don't see. So this side would be towards yourself.
Buit all you do is take your spoon and when you insert it in, it's attracted to the magnet.
So all you do is take your spoon. It's attracted to the magnet. Now the magnet is stuck to your
spoon. Now you don't want to just stick it in, you want to put the spoon in and then slowly
release the cup and seemingly the cup is suspended on the spoon. And of course,
to clean up, all you have to do is remove your spoon,
take out the handkerchief and wave it around. Show the cup is empty and you've completed the trick.
