18.10.2019

In this article, we will tell and offer instructions for creating interesting tricks. You can surprise guests and friends with them.

Various tricks, manipulation of people's minds today is considered to be one of the types of performing arts. Illusionism originates in the distant 17th century, it is this time that the first mention of magicians dates back. The ability to surprise people with the help of sleight of hand, various tricks makes it possible not only to earn money, but also simply to amuse people.

What are simple and easy tricks, and how to do them?

Watching how deftly magicians turn everything around into solid magic with completely simple hand movements, almost all of us begin to believe in miracles. However, in reality, most "miracles" are just sleight of hand and the ability to captivate the audience.

At first glance, it may seem that to repeat the same to us, ordinary people, is simply beyond our power, but by devoting a little time to this matter, we can be convinced of the opposite.

So, we present to your attention the simplest tricks.

"Magic Number". This trick does not require even sleight of hand from you, however, at the right time it will amuse friends and defuse the situation. To implement such a focus, you need to do the following:

Ask the person to think of any number between 2 and 20.
The guessed number must be multiplied by 9.
Now ask to add two digits of the received number.
Then subtract 4 from the resulting number.
The result of all the above manipulations will be the same hidden number, ask to remember it, but not to name it. Agree, it would not be interesting to finish the focus just like that.
So say you need to think a little. At this time, ask to guess the letter that will correspond to this number. Guided simple rule, counting in order, for example, number 1 - letter A, number 2 - B, etc.
In our case, this is the letter D.
Then ask the viewer to guess the country for this letter.
After all this, announce the result. Most likely, the viewer will think of Denmark, since the letter D is the most common option.

Let's look at an example:

Let's say a person thinks of the number 5
Multiply 5 by 9 to get 45
Now we add 4 and 5 and get 9
Subtract 4 from 9 and get 5
5 was the number that was originally guessed

Guessing a vegetable. This trick also depends not on sleight of hand and the ability to mislead the public, but on human psychology. But after all, the simplest tricks are based on such “magic”:

So, you take 2 pieces of paper and write on the first cucumber, on the second tomato. Then put one piece of paper in the left pocket, and the second in the right, the main thing in this matter is not to confuse where which piece of paper lies. Why these 2 vegetables? According to statistics, these vegetables in our country are the most common and often called. If you are in another country or want to impress foreigners, then this nuance must be taken into account. Because each person names the vegetable that he uses most often.
Next, give each participant a piece of paper and a pen.
While you are doing all these manipulations, you should not tell the guests what exactly they will need to do.
We divert people's attention. We ask you to count something, to guess the riddle, that is, we divert their attention from the focus itself.
After all the actions, ask all the guests to write any vegetable on a piece of paper without hesitation. Mandatory requirement to write immediately on command, without thinking.
Now ask one of the spectators to read out what he wrote, and pull out a piece of paper with the corresponding vegetable.
Attribute your success to well-developed telepathic abilities, joking about it, of course.
Of course, such a trick, like all the others, has a certain chance of failing. You need to be prepared for this, so figure out in advance what you will say and how to act if, instead of a well-known cucumber, someone writes far from everyone understandable word"Romanesco". By the way, the latter is a variety of cabbage.

magic beads. This is a very spectacular and interesting trick, however, for its correct execution, it is necessary to show sleight of hand and attentiveness so that the guests see magic, and not truly scattered beads:

So, for a successful trick, we need an assistant, a person from the audience, a company who will give his beads for the trick (necessarily with a clasp), fishing line, scissors, an empty glass, a sheet of paper.
The magic itself lies in the next moment. You take beads, demonstrate to the public that they are intact. Next, take the beads and, distracting the audience, thread the fishing line through all the beads, next to the main thread. Tie the ends of the fishing line - all this, of course, should be invisible to the eyes of all guests.
Take the necklace by the fishing line and show the audience that it looks like an ordinary decoration, however, now you can safely cut the extra thread.
Now comes a very crucial moment, you must cut the line and simulate the beads falling into the glass, gradually releasing them from your hands.
Well, it would seem that the end of the focus, but no.
You make a kind of bag out of a piece of paper and put supposedly torn beads in there, then send a thread there.
Several magic spell words, a couple of hand movements and you get a whole and unharmed jewelry
After that, be sure to focus on the leaflet, straightening it, showing that it is without a secret.

As a container in which we will fill the beads (supposedly a torn jewelry), it is better to take a glass cup, not too high. Items such as a bag, a plate, especially an opaque one, will not work and will make guests doubt your abilities.
The decoration must be held by the upper edge of our additional thread, and we will cut the bottom edge. At the same time, keep the beads low above the container, otherwise the guests will be able to see that the decoration has fallen as a whole, and not the beads individually, as it should be.
Such a trick is not at all complicated, but before showing it with someone else's thing, it's better to hone the art on your own.

There are still a huge number of other, no less interesting tricks, some of which will be discussed further.

How to learn to do magic tricks with cards: step by step instructions, secrets

This is perhaps one of the most common tricks that even novice illusionists are subject to. That is why now we will consider the most interesting of them.

Tricks with 4 kings. The simplest trick that even the most inexperienced fakir can show. In this issue, it is very important not only to show magic, but also to tell a fascinating story, which, in addition to informing the public, also distracts it.

So, the first thing to do is to pull out all the kings from the deck, as well as any 3 more cards.
We stack the cards in our hands in such a way that only the kings can be seen by the guests. Additional cards should be behind the kings.
Next, we begin to tell the story of a bank robbery. The bottom line is that the kings want to rob a bank, and they want to get into the room through the roof of the building.
At this stage, all 7 cards must be placed with the rest of the deck. The back of the cards must be on top, exactly, as well as 3 additional cards. We say that the kings hit the roof.
Now you take the first card from the top (the spare, but people will think it's the king because they don't know about the additional cards). At the same time, be careful and do not show anyone what kind of card it is. Say that this is one of the kings who will stand on the 1st floor and put the card somewhere on the bottom of the deck.
We send the second king (also a spare card) to the 2nd floor, in the middle of the deck.
The 3rd king (the last spare card) will be on guard in the basement, put it in the middle of the deck.
The last king (really the king, the first in the deck) remains on the roof, show this card to the audience.
The king, who was watching everything on the roof, reports that the police are sent to them and everyone should immediately come to him. Tap the deck 4 times, supposedly calling all the kings, and then open the last 4 cards
All of them must be kings.
After that, invite someone who wants to see that the deck is not fake and that there are no more kings in it.
In this trick, the most important thing is to quietly take 4 kings and 3 more cards, and then quietly fold the fan of cards.

Here is another simple trick with guessing the card.

You hold an ordinary deck of cards in your hands, show it to the audience
Next, anyone must select a card and put it on top of the deck, while you, of course, should not see the card
Now we remove the deck and lower part put on top. During this manipulation, we peep the bottom card of the deck, it will be a guide for us
Then one by one lay out a deck of cards with pictures up. The card we need will lie in front of the bottom card of the deck that we memorized
So that the focus does not fail, do not rush to lay out the cards. In this case, even if there is some kind of hitch, it will be written off to the desired scenario.

How to learn how to do tricks with a coin: step by step instructions, secrets

Such tricks always delight guests and spectators. In order to be interesting to show representations with such elements, of course, you need to practice, because here the point is solely in the sleight of your hands and their location.

For the first trick, we need 2 any cards from the deck, a small thin magnet, 2 absolutely identical coins, glue, a glass and scissors

First, let's prepare the props. The magnet must be thin, otherwise it will be visible and it will ruin the whole focus. You can buy it from craft stores, or you can borrow it from any of the decorative magnets we usually use to wrap refrigerators.
Now we take a card and glue a magnet on its front side.
After carefully stick on top another of the same card. We glue it so that visually the card is no different from the others in the deck.
When all this is done, put the card in the deck so that the trick is more believable and the audience does not understand what its essence is. You can easily identify the card, because in the hands it will feel good that it is thicker than the rest.
Further, in fact, it is already necessary to show the focus itself. But you must first check whether your coins are magnetized, because it happens that there is no such effect. In this case, a miracle will not happen and you will be exposed.

All is ready. Begin. We go out to the audience and explain that now you will show how the coin will literally seep through the card and fall into the glass.
Put a glass on the table, you have a deck of cards in your hands, the coins are neatly and discreetly hidden behind the container.
We shuffle a deck of cards, sort through them in search of the right one, pull it out and throw it on the table, right on one coin. Be careful, the card should "pick up" only one coin.
Further, without twisting the card, without showing it to the audience, we put it on the glass.
Then we take the second coin, show it to the guests and sharply hit it on the glass. As a result, the coin, which is actually already in the glass on the magnet, will fall into the glass.
At this point, with a deft movement of your hands, you must take the coin that you knocked with and remove it from people's eyes.
Almost simultaneously with the previous action, you must show a glass covered with a card, with a coin inside.
Be careful with the size of the magnet, consider this fact when choosing a coin. A big coin needs a big magnet. The size of the magnet should be at least a couple of times larger than the size of the coin. In this case, you can casually throw a card on the table and be sure that the item will be magnetized. Otherwise, the miracle may not happen.

How to learn to do magic tricks with your fingers: step by step instructions, secrets

Tricks with hands and fingers deserve special attention. Agility and speed of movement are always in the first place. It is appropriate to show such tricks not at various children's events, at home. You need to refrain from them on the street and if the audience is too close to you.

Severed finger. This trick is quite simple, however, you need to do all the movements quickly, clearly, without hesitation.

When performing this trick, spectators should not see the back of the hand.
Show your hands to the audience, twist them
We show guests one hand, the thumb of which is looking up
Next, we attach the second hand to this hand so that with it we can grab the thumb of the first hand into a fist
Clench your finger into a fist with your index and middle fingers

Now we open our fist a little, quickly press the thumb to the palm, send the thumb of the other hand in its place. At the same time, his nail should be slightly visible between the index and middle fingers.
After that, trying, making efforts, “tear off” your finger with a sharp movement, showing the hand, the thumb of which will be pressed to the palm
Now we return the finger to its place. Initially, we press our hands to each other and gently, but quickly straighten our thumb into a fist. Next, we remove the fist and pull out the thumb of the second hand, which is shown between the middle and index fingers
That's all the finger is in place, and the audience is delighted

At first glance, the focus may seem difficult, but in fact it is not, it just takes a little practice. And another very important point, all the roughness should hide the game of your face. Do not be afraid to show emotions during the focus, to scream when you “tear off” your finger and rejoice when it appears again in place. All these little things will make viewers pay attention only to the necessary details.

How to learn how to do tricks with paper: step by step instructions, secrets

Paper tricks are exactly what a beginner illusionist needs. The props of such numbers are always available, and even a child can perform them.

We will start with a comic number that will help you set the audience on the right wavelength. There will be no magic and sleight of hand in the room. So, you give a piece of paper and a pencil to anyone and ask them to write any words or sentence there.
Next, ask this leaflet to pass to any other person and promise that you will write the same thing on your piece of paper. Then a couple of seconds of silence, as if you are trying to guess the word and write “the same thing” on the sheet, then having prepared the audience for the result, show the sheet with the inscription, voice it, explaining that you fulfilled the promise and wrote the same thing.

Now that the guests are in a playful mood, you can show following tricks. We will analyze the simplest and at the same time interesting of them:

We draw a masterpiece in front of the public. So, we need to take an easel, paints, brushes, a sheet of fairly thin paper, a reproduction of a painting, oil.
The essence of the trick is that you first wrap the picture with paper and attach it to the easel. Next, place a sheet on it blank paper and start drawing.
The audience sees that you are taking paint with a brush, but in fact there should also be oil on the palette. Having dipped the brush into the oil, as if drawing, begin to drive it over the paper.
The paper will begin to oil, and the image of the painting will begin to appear.
In a matter of seconds, you will draw a masterpiece right in front of all the viewers.
When doing a trick, do not forget about facial expressions and playing with the audience.

We recommend that you start with just such simple tricks, they will help you learn how to behave in front of people, “play” in public. Only after you have mastered how to show such illusions, move on to something more complex, where, for example, everything will depend on the dexterity of your hands and the ability to keep the audience on their toes.

How to learn to do tricks with the disappearance: step by step instructions, secrets

The most interesting tricks, according to many people, are the disappearing tricks. After all, to believe that the object that was just in front of you has disappeared is simply unrealistic, but we can even do this.

Pencil disappearing trick. The key to your success is a fairly loose shirt with long sleeves.

We take a pencil in our hands and hold its edges on 2 sides with three fingers: thumb, index and middle
We show guests only the front side of the fingers
We begin to put pressure on the pencil with the fingers of the right hand. Thus, we slightly move it to the wrist of the right limb
Next, we make a few simple manipulations with our hands, as if distracting the audience. For example, a couple of movements up and down
Next, we squeeze the fingers on the left hand so that the pencil lies completely on the wrist of the right hand
Now it's up to the small, quickly, but carefully put the pencil in the right sleeve
Then we show the audience that there is no pencil
You need to do the trick quickly, distracting the guests with your movements, facial expressions, etc.
It is not necessary to show such a trick without practicing in advance, since such "magic" tends not to occur.

Disappearing tricks

Here is another very simple coin disappearing trick.. We need a table covered with a tablecloth, a coin and, of course, spectators. The trick must be shown while sitting, and the guests should not be located on the side of the magician, but in front of him, at a sufficient distance (not immediately in front of the table).

So, put the coin on the table. It is very important to put it not too far from the edge of the table. 10 cm will be enough
Next, we begin to intensively rub the coin into the table with the whole palm. At the same time, each movement of the hand should slip the coin closer to the edge, until it finally sends it to your knees.
After that, without fussing with the same rubbing movements, we return the hand to the place where the coin was originally, and make a couple of movements only with the fingers, and not with the whole palm
We begin to say a funny spell, words, and sharply raise our hand
We are surprised to say that it worked.
During all these manipulations, you need to take the coin from your knees with your left hand, so that later you can “get” it from a completely unexpected place.

How to learn to do magic tricks with a handkerchief: step by step instructions, secrets

Tricks with handkerchiefs are standard at all performances of fakirs, and for good reason. It is tricks with such props that are done quite easily, however, they always make a special impression on the audience.

So, we need a scarf, an assistant, and, in principle, nothing else, only sleight of hand and the ability to tie knots in a special way.

Any viewer can be chosen as an assistant
Next, we take a scarf, it should be large enough and twist it so that we get a tourniquet
Now we take a twisted scarf and put it on the person’s hand, doing it from the bottom up. That is, the fabric of the handkerchief will hold the hand from the underside
We must place the left end of the fabric in ourselves left hand between index and middle fingers. Hold the right end arbitrarily
Next, put the right end of the handkerchief between the ring and middle fingers. At this point, there is already an air loop on the viewer's hand
The right end, after placing it between the indicated fingers, should look to the side thumb and lie on the left end

We press the middle finger to the palm. At this time, large middle fingers left hand hold the right end of the fabric
We take the left end of the scarf, thread it into the resulting loop and continue to hold the right end with our left hand, tighten the loop
Visually, it will seem that one strong knot is made on a person’s hand
Next, wrap the hand in the opposite direction with the right end of the scarf, after which we tie one simple knot and at the end of this manipulation we sharply tighten the knots
At this moment, all viewers will see a miracle - a handkerchief, passing through a person’s hand, literally jumps off it and ties into a knot in the hands of a skilled magician

The trick with the disappearance of the scarf and the appearance of the rose is also very popular, however, these tricks require special props, so we recommend that you initially hone your skills on the simplest trick presented above, and only then move on to something more complex.

How to learn to do magic tricks with an elastic band: step by step instructions, secrets

Tricks with an elastic band are slightly less popular than the others, however, for a beginner magician, these tricks are considered the most suitable.

We need to take a ring, cut a clerical gum:

So what do we do next? We stretch the elastic band through the decoration, while it is important to stretch it not for the entire length, but only for a couple of cm
The rest of the gum will be hidden in our hand.
Then we raise the hand that holds the elastic band without a ring, and shake it slightly
At this point, the decoration will fall down the other end
Now you should very carefully and gradually begin to let go of that edge of the elastic that is loose. The ring will then move up.

During this trick, it is very important not to rush and do all the movements very smoothly, otherwise the elastic band may jump out of your hands and the ring will simply fall to the floor.

How to learn to do magic tricks with a cigarette: step by step instructions, secrets

Tricks with cigarettes are very unusual tricks, however, for their performance we need special props - that same cigarette.

So the first focus is disappearing cigarette in the nose. From the props, we take a special fake cigarette. As a rule, an elastic band is attached to the end of the cigarette from the side of the filter, with which you will get rid of it during the trick. The filter itself moves over the cigarette, with the help of which the effect is obtained that the cigarette is placed in the nose.

We take a cigarette, previously under the jacket in the sleeve area, we fasten the elastic band, creating tension
Next, we hold a cigarette in our hand and substitute it to the edge of the nose, so that the viewer can visually see that the cigarette is just at the opening of the nose
Starting to move the props filter up, giving the impression that the cigarette is sinking into the nose
After that, we let go of the cigarette, the gum works, and the props quietly fly away

And one more interesting one trick with a special cigarette. The peculiarity of this cigarette is that it looks like a real one, but inside it is hollow and this can be seen from the side of the filter. Also included with the props is a tube - a kind of case for the same cigarette, when the cigarette gets there it is not visible due to the fact that its cavity is black, like the cavity of the case. With all this, get a common person she cannot do it without the help of a magician, and in principle this is what we need.

Well, the focus is on the shrinking cigarette. To be more precise, we put an allegedly ordinary cigarette into the case, and take out a very small
We put a small copy of it in the cavity of a large cigarette.
With your finger we press the part where the cigarette can fall out. We show the audience that the cigarette is quite ordinary, and put it in a case
After that, close the case with a cap and pronounce any magic words
We shake out a small cigarette from the case
The case can be given into the hands of guests and spectators, a cigarette is not visually visible in it and it will not get out of there, even if you knock on the case

Showing tricks is not as easy as it might seem at first glance, because these are not just hand movements, this is a whole action that must be accompanied by real magic.

Show tricks only after long workouts. You shouldn't tempt fate. Train at home in front of the mirror, so you will see everything that happens, as if from the side
Always be prepared for things to go wrong. In this case, you need not to get confused, but quickly and imperceptibly correct the error.
If there is no opportunity to correct the mistake, you need to be able to quickly switch people's attention to another object, focus, etc.
Hone not only manual dexterity, but also acting skills, because by showing tricks, you literally play the role of a magician. Do not be afraid to be funny, pronounce words clearly and with appropriate intonation
Showing tricks, do not rush, there is no need to rush in this matter. You need to do quickly only those movements and manipulations that the viewer can notice, do them differently
Before showing focus a large number people, show it to someone from your family and ask them to objectively evaluate it. Based on this, decide whether you have enough skills to demonstrate such an illusion.
If you are working with props, do not save on it, otherwise it will easily let you down at the wrong moment.

To create miracles and magic is not so difficult, for this you need to be patient and show all your imagination and dexterity. Training and your desire will definitely bring you a positive result.

Tricks with hands

Why are hand tricks good? First of all, its simplicity and the absence of the need to use any details. To perform such tricks, all that is required of you is directly only your hands. Despite the seeming limitations of this type of trick, because we only have two hands and 10 fingers, the number of possible tricks is simply huge.

In this article, unfortunately, it will not be possible to consider all the tricks, but we can reveal the secrets of several of the most spectacular and spectacular tricks. In fact, tricks with hands are the first thing any novice illusionist should master. Indeed, in such tricks there are many secrets and other tricks, for example, using money, scarves, cards and other details.

In addition, such tricks contribute to the development of manual dexterity and coordination of movements, which are important qualities for every magician. Despite their simplicity, hand tricks make quite an impression on the audience. And this is due, first of all, to the fact that no additional details are used, which theoretically could store some mechanisms and secrets. The spectators see only the hands and understand that the trick they see is completely based on the magician's capabilities, and not on technical props.

Little finger flexion

This trick with hands looks not only impressive, but for some it can even cause some horror. It consists in the following - the magician extends his hand in front of the audience with the palm forward, and taking the little finger with two fingers of the other hand, begins to bend it first in one direction, then in the other. Moreover, the bend does not go along the joints, as in the usual clenching of the fist, but along the plane of the palm.

The viewer opens a truly disturbing spectacle - the little finger bends almost 90 degrees in one direction and the other. Everyone involuntarily has a question, is everything in order with the magician's joints and bones. After all, in fact, the fingers cannot bend like that. When the secret of this trick with hands is revealed, it becomes clear to everyone that hand defects have nothing to do with it.

The secret of this trick lies in the optical illusion. You need to put your hand palm forward so that all fingers are slightly curved to the side back side arms. Spectators should see the palm directly from the front only. Therefore, this focus is gently demonstrated at a distance from the audience, or in front of one person sitting directly in front of you.

So, in fact, by bending the little finger along the plane of the palm with the fingers of the second hand, it bends inward. Looking at this action from the side of the viewer, i.e. right in front of you, you can't see it at all. Try to bend your little finger at the knuckle, and then bend it towards the thumb. In this position, the finger can bend more than 90 degrees. However, you should not overdo it too much, otherwise the audience will see a view of the nail, by which they will understand the essence of the trick.

You need to bend the little finger on top of the other fingers, and not behind them - this improves visibility. It is also necessary to bend the finger in the most straightened position in the joints. If you bend it inward too much, then folds and shadows will appear at the bend, by which the viewer can understand how this trick is performed by hands. This will require some practice in front of the mirror so that you can make sure that you are doing everything right.

360 degree hand rotation

To perform this trick, with the exception of the hand, you will also need a table, or any other flat surface. So, the following action opens up before the viewer - the magician, pressing his hand to the table with the entire plane of his palm, slowly turns it around his own axis by 360 degrees. The spectacle turns out to be simply breathtaking, because, in theory, the human body is not capable of such tricks.

Revealing the secret of this trick, it should immediately be noted that it does not require manual dexterity or the development of joint flexibility. Even a beginner can perform it after two or three workouts. So, let's proceed directly to the technique of performing this trick. The whole secret of focus lies in the initial position of the palm. If you take the right hand, then it must be turned clockwise so that the fingers look to the left relative to the pointer. To prevent the audience from seeing all the preparations, you can ask them to turn away for a second, or leave the room.

Thus, the movement of the hand begins already from the most extreme position to which the joint is able to bend. The audience gets the impression that the hand in front of them lies in a completely natural position. To increase the effect of this trick, you can try to turn your hand in the same direction, but from the usual position. Remember the moment at which a stupor sets in, and the hand will not be able to move further. Now, when demonstrating the trick, you can deliberately stop in the same place and pretend that you are overcoming it with effort.

An important point - when performing this trick with your hands, you must wear long sleeves. Sleeves should fall directly to the palm of your hand. Only in this way, the position of the arm in a curved state will look completely natural. If the hand is open, then it will not be difficult for the viewer to understand that the movement begins from the extreme position and all the magic of the focus will dissipate.

The most important thing in performing any tricks is persistent practice. You can get acquainted with the simplest trick and learn how to perform it step by step in at least half an hour, but in order for everything to really succeed and not be exposed, you need to train a lot and for a long time, honing your technique and skill. You need to learn tricks, moving from simple to complex, so next we will talk about how to learn how to do tricks that any beginner can handle.

Simple trick with cards

Those who want to learn how to learn to do tricks often start with cards. Among card tricks, there are indeed a lot of easy options that you can quickly learn and surprise the audience with them, and one of the most popular of them is simple tricks with guessing cards. We will now consider one of them. The trick is called - "Guess the card."

What the viewer sees. The magician shuffles the deck of cards and hands it to one of the spectators to choose one of the cards. The spectator chooses his card, remembers it and, without showing it to anyone, gives it face down to the magician. The magician returns the card to the deck, shuffles it again, lays out the cards and unmistakably finds the spectator card!

Focus secret. Take a deck of cards and shuffle it. Attention: the key to this trick is to discreetly peek which card will be the bottom, that is, the last one in the deck.

The spectator chooses a card and returns it to you. Divide the deck arbitrarily in half - you have two parts of the cards in your hands, one of which contains the bottom card - you memorized it at the very beginning. Put the spectator card on one part of the deck and cover it on top with the second part. The spectator sees that his card is now hidden, but you know that it lies under the very bottom card.

Lay out the cards in a fan, and then look for your bottom card with your eyes - next to it on the right will be the one that the viewer has guessed. Voila! At the same time, do not choose it too quickly, for example, pretend that you are trying to feel the energy emanating from the card - entertain the viewer.

Coin passing through glass

The next simple trick is the glass and coin trick. It is more difficult than the previous one, because it requires a certain manual dexterity.

From the viewer. The magician shows the audience a coin, takes it in the fist of one hand, and the other brings a glass to him, then knocks the glass on the hand with the coin - and it is inside, passing through the bottom!

In fact. Choose a large coin and a glass, plastic or glass. Show the audience a coin and then act as if you are shifting it to your other hand, covering your palm from above and as if raking the coin in your fist. But the coin, of course, remains in the same hand where it was.

This is the key point: it is important to practice and learn how to hold a coin with an open palm or clamp it between the palm and the little finger, as it suits you - the main thing is that it stays inconspicuous and does not fall out.

With the same hand in which you hold the coin, you take the glass and bring it over the hand with your fist, where the coin lies, according to the audience. Tap the glass on your fist several times. At the last knock, relax your hand so that the coin falls into the glass, and at this moment open your palm with your fist, simulating the passage of a coin through the bottom of the glass. It is important to work out this number well so that everything turns out deftly and at the same time quickly, and the audience does not have time to come to their senses and expose you.

Focus with matches

And finally, we will tell you how to do tricks with matches that require only sleight of hand.

Nuance when demonstrating tricks with "bare hands"

What ? This is just an optical illusion that the viewer does not notice. When you show tricks without props, the viewer often sees the hands only on one side, and the other must be hidden.

Therefore, such performances are ideal to show them on stage, at holidays in such a way that the "audience hall" is on one side of you.

If you have decided demonstrate your art on the street to the crowd that surrounded you from all sides, the “magic” may not work, and you will be exposed very quickly.

In the crowd surrounding you from all sides there is a danger of exposure

In truth, tricks with hands are not so easy to learn . You need agility and speed. But if he does not make a mistake, he will receive the well-deserved admiration of the public. So, let's move on to the tricks themselves.

Focus with rubber bands

For you, in addition to your skillful hands, you will need two ordinary rubber bands of the same size.

You put one elastic band on the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, stretch it. Place the other one between the first and right hand and also put it on the thumb and forefinger, but of the other hand. Also spread to the sides. It turns out a kind of cross.

Show that rubber bands can't get loose , if you do not take them off your hands, convince the public that there is no catch. Someone from the crowd can even touch the objects himself, so that there is no doubt. And then the magician does a few quick steps , and the parts of the "cross" are separated, not jumping off the hands, but already separately.

The secret of the rubber band trick is revealed in this video:

How did it happen?

The moment the illusionist indicates that the grip is tight, he makes a small movement that no one notices or attaches any importance to.
He puts the middle one on the index (on one hand).
After the hand goes down, and the loop imperceptibly passes from one pressed finger to another.
The free finger, meanwhile, slips into the loop on the thumb of the right hand.
And then you just release the loop from the middle one, and the “cross” falls apart.
For effect, wiggle the rubber bands around to create the impression of "witchcraft", then spread your arms and enjoy the surprise of the audience.

The most important- do everything quickly so that no one notices your machinations. And for this you need dexterous trained hands.

"Severed Finger"

Even the simplest trick can be modified, and it will “play” in a new way.

A well-known children's trick when the thumb comes off the palm and remains in the fist, and then "sticks" in place. Even children know his secret.

But how to make it so that the big one, clasped by the index and middle of the other hand, breaks away from the palm, “rides” along the arm and returns to the palm?

The secret is simple:

You show that you grab the big left hand, and when you twist it, as if unscrewing it, you discreetly replace it.
The “torn off” large one is pressed against the palm of your hand, and you bend the other large one so that it turns out to be clasped by two fingers of the same hand.
Then we move the fist along the arm, return it to its place, “screw it” and at this time we again imperceptibly change fingers.

The audience will not suspect anything if everything is done quickly, neatly and deftly. The faster and more precise your movements, the better the performance will be.

These are the ones with fingers and their secrets. They are beautiful in their apparent simplicity, which only truly dexterous hands can create.
