If you've got kids who want to learn magic,
we have seven great tricks for them to learn and perform.
To perform the spoon from card box, you need a card box and you need to cut a hole in the bottom.
So what happens is, from this side, it looks like the spoon is coming out of the box in an
impossible way. But what you're doing is, the spoon extends out of the bottom. You hold the box,
close it up and then when you're ready to produce you just open the box and pull out the spoon.
Here's what you'll need for the trick. This looks like a coin but actually it's foil
that is wrapped around a coin and cut out. Kids I recommend that you have your grown-up do this
for you. But you make a fake coin out of aluminum foil by placing the foil on the coin and rubbing
it down with your fingers so you get the impression of a coin. And then you remove the foil
just like that so now, we have the real coin and we have the fake foil coin. Now
you can't show these side by side. By the way I'm using the dull side of the coin.
So remove the real coin and you just bring out this coin. And you wrap it in a piece of tissue or
paper, whatever it is, and you just crumple the whole thing up. And the coin appears to vanish.
You probably want a little distance and you don't want to be showing the
coin up close like this because then you can pretty much see that it's
not a real coin. But if it's back here, it looks like a real coin.
Check it out. Inside of this bottle where I can't touch it is my magic diver here. Let's see if I
can command it to do something here. We're just going to wave the hand and command it to go down
and i think that's happening right there. And now, back up, back up again
and up again. Take a packet and place a
paper clip on there for weight and now place it inside of your empty water bottle.
Now you fill your bottle with water. First of all,
you may have to balance the packet that's inside of the water here. It turns out that
Ihad to use two paper clips so it was just at that right point. So if it sinks to the bottom,
you have too big of a paper clip on it. If it stays at the top and you squeeze it with the
water inside and it doesn't move, it's too light. You'll know that you have the trick balance right
when you squeeze and it just goes right down and when you release it goes right back up.
