Fool your friends with these easy magic tricks.
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 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 underneath the cup is your ball.
Here's how to perform the necktie through the neck. You can use a scarf or you can use a piece
of rope. Any long piece of cloth or rope will work for this. Drape the tie over your neck.
It's really around your neck. Now watch my left hand. We'll reach across here and grab here. And
what I'm trying to do is form something of a loop here. And then this one reaches across to this one
and now watch what I do here. I actually catch this little piece of material inside
of the other end. Now it looks as if I've wrapped the tie around my neck
but all I have to do is pull and it comes undone.
You create this flap so the first card has a hole punched in it at the top. And this right here
is the second card that's glued onto the first card with the half down here.
So it's two cards thick on this side and a single card here and a single card here.
So you start out showing the hole. Actually you can do it in reverse but I like showing the hole
and it just so happens a straw fits through
this hole punched hole here. Now the way I'm holding it on the back side is I'm actually
letting it hang down just a little bit and that way it makes it easy. So when I want to
turn the card over I take my fingers and I actually flip it over as I turn over the card.
So the way I did it in the presentation is just like this. Again from the side it looks like this.
So turn it over and yes there is a little bit of
a line here. You can kind of cover it with your fingers.
You're
going to need one length of string adn two smaller length of string. And all you're doing
is tying these short lengths onto the longer one. I'm going to tie this one here. Don't
tie it too tight but don't tie it loose. Enough that it doesn't fall but you want a
knot on there that slides. And we'll do that one more time here
That looks for all practical purposes like three strings that you've tied together.
All you do is take your strings,
bring it out show it and then take your hand place it in to the cup. And then as you pull up,
you slide the strings off of the rope the knots off the string.
