Impress your friends with these wonderful magic tricks! All you need is an audience, your hands and in some cases a little practice. Once you have mastered these tricks, you can perform them at any time if someone asks you, "Do you know any magic tricks?"
Steps
Method 1 of 5: Mind Reading
Step 1. Choose an assistant
Ask an audience volunteer to go with you to another room so that you can "form a psychic connection". Talk to the assistant in a private room, where no one else will be able to hear you.
Step 2. Tell the assistant about your plan
In this trick, sometimes called "Black Magic", you will point to an object in the room, and the assistant will tell you whether or not it is the object you are thinking of. It should keep answering "No", then "No" again when you point to a black colored object. The next object you indicate will be the correct one, and the answer will be "Yes".
Read the rest of the trick later if you haven't figured out how it works yet
Step 3. Return to the audience alone
Ask the assistant to wait in another room, where the audience cannot hear. Go back to the audience and say: "I cast a spell on the assistant, so he can read my mind. I'll try it with this magic trick."
Step 4. Ask the audience to choose a subject
Any one will do. Point to it and say: "Now my assistant will read my mind and tell you which object you have chosen".
Step 5. Ask the audience to call the assistant
Send at least two or three people from the audience. This way no one will think that you are sending a person who will cheat and tell the assistant what you have chosen.
If you want, you can theatrically pretend to "deliver a psychic message" by staring at the assistant and keeping your fingers on his temples
Step 6. Point out some wrong objects
Point at something the audience didn't choose and ask, "Am I thinking about _?" Repeat for some items. The assistant should say "No" as agreed.
Step 7. Point to a black object
Indicates another wrong object, but colored black. Say: "Am I thinking about this?". The assistant should say "No", but notice the black color.
Step 8. Indicate the correct object
Point to the object chosen by the audience and say: "Am I thinking about _?". The assistant will say "Yes", because that's the first thing you indicated after the black object. Smile and bow to the audience.
Step 9. Repeat the trick if the audience is excited
If the audience tries to figure out how the trick works, send the assistant back into the room, choose another object and repeat. Distract the audience from the real code by pretending to use funny faces, gestures, or different ways of asking the question. Do the trick two or three times, then stop so you don't reveal the secret.
You can also talk to your assistant again and find a different code for the next time. For example, ask them to say "Yes" to the fifth thing you indicate
Method 2 of 5: Interlace Hands
Step 1. Ask the audience to follow you
To perform this trick, ask the audience to mimic your hand movements. Take each step slowly and tell the audience what you are doing. In fact, you will take an extra step that you won't tell. The audience will end up with hands and arms intertwined, while you show two thumbs up.
Step 2. Point your thumbs down in front of you
Extend your arms out in front of you, pointing both thumbs down. Remember, you need to tell the audience to repeat your movements. Wait until everyone has completed the movement before continuing.
Step 3. Cross your arms and join your hands
Move one arm over the other, still with both thumbs down. Put your fingers together. The wrists - yours and the audience's - are intertwined, as are the fingers.
Step 4. Free one hand to point to someone
As the audience tries to copy you, keep talking to distract them from what you are doing. Say: "Not like that, fold your arms like me. Remember, your thumbs pointing down and your hands together. Like this! Look at her, she's doing it right." Keep your arms crossed over each other, but free your hands so you can point to the audience member you're talking about.
Step 5. Rotate one arm and squeeze hands again
While the audience is still looking at the person you pointed, turn the hand you pointed with. Flip your hand completely over so your palms touch, then squeeze your hands together again. This position will look the same as the one held by the audience, but it is much less intertwined.
- If you are trying this trick and don't understand it, stop and place both hands in front of you with thumbs up. Place your hands together, then turn them so that the thumbs are pointing down. You should finish in this position after this step.
- Keep talking and watching the audience, not your hands, as you do this.
Step 6. Rotate your hands
Tell the audience to copy you, so that everyone has their thumbs pointing up. Move your hands up towards your chest, rotating them so that your thumbs are pointing upwards. The audience will try to copy you, but since they are in a different position, they will end up with hands clasped, arms crossed, or other awkward positions.
Step 7. Pretend to be irritated and repeat
Say they are doing something wrong and repeat from the beginning. You will usually be able to repeat the trick several times, causing the audience to laugh and wonder why they can't do it right. Use a different distraction method each time to keep the audience from getting suspicious:
- Free your hands to hold the audience's hands, and guide them into the correct position. When you squeeze them again, use the false position that only you know.
- Make a gesture, say "Abracadabra" or other magic formulas, then do a pirouette before changing the position of the hands.
Method 3 of 5: Summon an Invisible Bubble
Step 1. Use this trick with one person only
You can use a single volunteer from a larger audience, but only one person will feel the strange effect produced by this magic trick. This is best suited for a friend or family member, or if you can repeat it for each person in a small group.
Step 2. Ask the person to keep their hands close
Ask her to hold them as if she were about to clap, with palms facing each other. You can also ask her to start clapping to welcome the wonderful wizard (you), then take her hands and stop them in this position.
Step 3. Put your hands around hers
Keep your hands in a similar position, palms inward, on either side of your hands. Imagine clapping in the same spot where she is clapping.
Step 4. Ask her to push against your hands
Push in on both of his hands with all your strength. At the same time, she should push her hands against yours. Repeat for about 60 seconds.
If you want, say "magic words" as you do it
Step 5. Stop pushing
After about a minute, ask her to stop pushing. Raise your hands and ask if he feels anything. He should feel an "invisible bubble" pushing his hands outward, even if nothing is touching them.
Method 4 of 5: Levitation
Step 1. Try this trick beforehand
This is a difficult trick to do, because the audience will have to look exactly from a precise angle. Find a friend willing to watch during rehearsal who can help you find the best location as you try the steps below.
Step 2. Put on long pants
Choose a pair of pants that partially cover the foot or shoe. The best pants are those that cover the heel but leave the front and midfoot in sight.
Step 3. Get away from the public
Tell the audience that you need space to concentrate and to avoid falling on them at the end of the magic trick. You should be about 2.5-3 meters from the audience.
Theatrically seek "the right spot" to convince the audience that this is a difficult step
Step 4. Orient yourself at an angle to the audience
Here you will find the help of a friend very useful, who can point you to the best angle. Usually the magician keeps an angle of about 45 ° from the audience, so that he can see the heels and the whole left foot, but he cannot see the toe of the right foot.
To help you, you can think of your location as a clock. Your fingertips should be at 10:30 or 11:00 and the audience at 6:00
Step 5. Stand on the toe of your right foot
Theatrically communicate how difficult levitation is and raise your arms in the air slowly as if you had to push yourself. Push only on the toes of the right foot, which the audience cannot see. Lift your right heel and the entire left foot up, trying to keep them at the same height. Keep your left foot parallel to the ground. It "floats" like this for a few seconds.
Step 6. Return your feet to the ground
After a few seconds, return to the ground. Bend your knees and ankles as you hit the ground to give the impression that you have fallen from a considerable height.
Method 5 of 5: Teasing People with a Fake Magic Trick
Step 1. Tell a friend that you can move it without touching it
Tell him, "I bet you will move before he finishes walking around you three times, without anyone touching you." If he disagrees, assure him that no one will help you and he will only have to sit still.
Step 2. Walk around the friend slowly
As you walk, pretend to focus intensely. Leave at least 60 cm between you. Turn to him and say "one" the first time you walk around him.
Step 3. Walk around him a second time
Keep moving slowly in circles. Take a break and pretend to wipe the sweat off your forehead, saying "Okay, you're tough, but I can do it." Finish walking around him a second time and say "two".
Step 4. Walk away
Turn around and walk away from your friend quickly, before he realizes what's going on and tries to stop you. Say hello to him and promise him you'll be back in a year or two to walk around him the third time!
