In this article we will tell and offer instructions to create interesting tricks. You can surprise guests and friends with them.

Various tricks, manipulations of the consciousness of people today are considered to be one of the types of executive art. Illusionism takes its beginning in the distant XVII century, it is precisely this time that the first references to the magicians date back to. The ability to surprise the people with the help of the dexterity of the hands, various tricks make it possible not only to earn money, but also to just amuse people.

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

Watching how cleverly magicians turn everything around into continuous magic with completely simple movements of the hands, almost all of us begin to believe in miracles. However, in fact, the majority of “miracles” are just the dexterity of the hands and the ability to captivate the audience.

At first glance, it may seem that to repeat this to us, ordinary people, simply cannot do it, but having devoted a little time to this matter, we will be able to make sure of the opposite.

So, we present to your attention the simplest tricks.

1. "Magic number". This focus does not even require your hands dexterity, however, at the right time it will have fun and discharge the situation. To carry out such a focus, you need to do the following:

• Ask a person to make any number from 2 to 20.
• A man -made number should multiply by 9.
• Now ask to add two digits of the received number.
• Then 4 should be taken away from the resulting number.
• The result of all of the above manipulations will be the very mysterious number, ask to remember it, but not to call it. Agree, it would not be interesting to finish the trick.
• Therefore, tell me that you need to think a little. At this time, ask to make a letter that will correspond to this figure. Guided by a simple rule, considering in order, for example, the number 1 is the letter A, the number 2 - B, etc.
• In our case, this is the letter D.
• Then ask the viewer to make a country with this letter.
• After all this, voice the result. Most likely, the viewer will make Denmark, because the letter D is the most common option.

Let's look at the example:

• Suppose a person makes a number 5
• 5 multiply by 9 and get 45
• Now we plus 4 and 5 and get 9
• Remove 4 from 9 and get 5
• 5 and was the number that was originally guessed

2. Guess the vegetable. This trick also depends not on the dexterity of hands and the ability to mislead the public, but on human psychology. But 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 what kind of piece of paper lies. Why are these 2 vegetables? According to statistics, it is these vegetables in our country that 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 calls the vegetable that uses most often.
• Next, give each participant a piece of paper and a pen.
• While you are doing all these manipulations, to tell the guests what exactly they will need to do is not worth it.
• We distract the attention of people. We ask you to calculate something, guess the riddle, that is, we distract their attention from the focus itself.
• After all the actions, ask all guests without hesitation to write any vegetable on a piece of paper. A mandatory requirement to write immediately on command without thinking.
• Now ask one of the viewers to read what he wrote and pull out a piece of paper with the corresponding vegetable.
• Write your success on well -developed telepathic abilities, of course, speaking with jokes about it.
• Of course, such a focus, like everyone else, has a certain chance not to work. You must be prepared for this, so think in advance what you will say and how to act, if instead of the well-known cucumber, someone will write far from everyone understandable the word “Romanesco”. By the way, the latter is a variety of cabbage.

3. Magic beads. This is a very spectacular and interesting focus, however, for its correct performance it is necessary to show the dexterity of hands and attentiveness, so that the guests see magic, and not truly scattered beads:

• So, for a successful focus, we need an assistant, a person from the hall, a company who will give his beads for the focus (necessarily with a fastener), fishing line, scissors, an empty glass, a sheet of paper.
• The magic itself is the next moment. You take beads, demonstrate to the public that they are intact. Next, take the beads and, distracting the audience, spread through all the beads a fishing line, next to the main thread. Tie the ends of the fishing line - all this, of course, should be imperceptibly for the eyes of all guests.
• Take the necklace by the fishing line and show the audience, it looks like this usual decoration, however, now you can safely cut an additional thread.
• Now there is a very crucial moment, you must cut the fishing line and simulate the fall of beads into a glass, gradually letting them go from hands.
• Well, it would seem, the end of the focus, but no.
• From a piece of paper you make a kind of wrappers and fall asleep there allegedly torn beads, then send a thread there.
• Several magical words, a couple of hands with your hands and you get the whole and unharmed decoration
• Then be sure to focus on the leaflet, straightening it, showing that he is without a secret.

Several recommendations for the execution of the number:

• As a container in which we will fall asleep the beads (supposedly torn decoration), it is better to take a glass glass, not too high. Such objects as a bag, a plate, especially not transparent, will not work and make guests doubt your abilities.
• The decoration must be kept by the upper edge of our additional thread, and we will cut the lower edge. At the same time, keep the beads low above the container, otherwise the guests will be able to see that the decoration fell entirely, and not beads separately, as it should be.
• Such a trick is not at all complicated, but before showing it with someone else's thing, it is better to hone art on your own.

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

How to learn how to make tricks with cards: step -by -step instructions, secrets

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

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

• So, the first thing to do is to pull all kings out of the deck, as well as 3 more cards.
• We put the cards in the hands so that the guests can only be visible to the kings. Additional cards should be behind the kings.
• Next, we begin to tell the story of the robbery of the bank. The bottom line is that kings want to rob the bank, and they want to get into the room through the roof of the building.
• At this stage, all 7 cards must be put to the rest of the deck. The card shirt should be from above, exactly, like 3 additional cards. We say that the kings hit the roof.
• Now you take the first card from above (spare, but people will think that this is the king, because they do not know about additional maps). 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 that will stand on the 1st floor and put the card somewhere in 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 in the middle of the deck.
• The last king (indeed the king, the first in the deck) remains on the roof, show this card to the audience.
• The king, who watched everything on the roof, reports that the police are heading for them and everyone should immediately come to him. Knock on the deck 4 times, allegedly calling all kings, and then open the last 4 cards
• All of them should be kings.
• After that, invite you to see that the deck is not false and that there are no more kings in it.
• In this focus, the most important, imperceptibly take 4 kings and 3 more cards, and then imperceptibly add up a fan of cards.

2. Here is another straightforward focus with guessing the card.

• In your hands you hold the usual deck of cards, show it to the audience
• Further, anyone should choose a card and put it up the deck, while you, of course, should not see the card
• Now we remove the deck and put the lower part on the upper one. During this manipulation, we spy the lower map of the deck, it will be a guide for us
• Then we alternately lay out the deck of cards with pictures up. The card we need will lie in front of the lower map of the deck that we remembered
• So that the focus does not fail, do not rush to the lining of cards. In this case, even if there is some kind of hitch, it will blame the desired script

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

Such tricks always cause delight among guests and spectators. In order to interestingly show ideas with such elements, of course, you need to practice, since the meaning is solely in the dexterity of your hands and their location.

1. For the first focus, we need 2 any cards from the deck, a small thin magnet, 2 exactly the same coins, glue, a glass and scissors

• To begin with, prepare the props. The magnet should be thin, otherwise it will be visible and this will ruin the entire focus. You can buy it in needlework stores or borrow it from any decorative magnet, which we usually glue the refrigerators.
• Now we take the card and on its front side with a magnet glue.
• After gently, we glue up another same card upstairs. Glue so that visually the card is no different from others in the deck.
• When all this is done, put the card in the deck, so that the focus is more believable and the audience does not understand what its essence is. You can easily determine the card, because in your hands it will be good to feel that it is thicker than the rest.
• Further, in fact, the focus itself needs to be shown. But you must initially 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 literally leaks through the map and gets into the glass.
• Put a glass on the table, in your hands a deck of cards, coins are neatly and imperceptibly hidden behind the container.
• We carry a deck of cards, sort them out in search of the necessary, pull it out and throw it on the table, right on one coin. Be careful, the card should “pick up” only one coin.
• Next, not twisting the card, not showing it to the audience, we put it on a glass.
• Then we take the second coin, demonstrate it to the guests and abruptly hit it in a glass. As a result of this, the coin, which is actually in a glass on a magnet, will fall into a glass.
• At this moment, you must take the coin that you knocked with a deft movement of the hands, and remove it from the eyes of people.
• Almost simultaneously with the previous action, you should 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. For a large coin you need a large 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 carelessly throw the card on the table and you will be sure that the subject will be primagnant. Otherwise, a miracle may not happen.

How to learn how to make tricks with fingers: step -by -step instructions, secrets

Truks with hands and fingers deserve separate attention. The dexterity and speed of movements are always in the first place. Such tricks are appropriate to show not different children's events, in a home environment. You need to refrain from them on the street and if the audience is too close to you.

1. Torn finger. This focus is quite simple, however, you need to make all the movements quickly, clearly, without hesitation

• When performing this trick, viewers should not see the back of the hand
• Show your hands to the audience, twist them
• Show the guests one hand, the thumb of which, looks up
• Next, we put the second hand to this hand so that we can grab the thumb of the first hand in a fist
• We squeeze the finger into the fist with the index and middle fingers

• Now we take off a fist by slightly, we quickly press the thumb to the palm of your hand, send the thumb of the other hand to its place. In this case, his nails should be slightly visible between the index and middle fingers
• After that, trying, making efforts, “tear off” a finger with a sharp movement, showing your hand, the thumb of which will be pressed to the palm of your hand
• Now we return the finger to the place. Initially, we press the hands to each other and carefully, but quickly straighten the thumb into the fist. Next, 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 in place, and the audience is delighted

At first glance, the focus may seem difficult, but in fact this is not so, you just need to practice a little. 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, cry out when you “tear off” a finger and rejoice when it appears again. All these little things will make the audience pay attention only to the necessary details

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

Paper tricks are exactly what a novice illusionist needs. The props of such numbers is always affordable, and even their performance is possible even for a child.

• We will start with a comic number that will help you set up the audience to the desired wave. There will be no magic and dexterity of hands in the room. So, you give a leaf and pencil to anyone who wants and ask to write any words or sentence there.
• Next, ask for this leaf to convey to any other person and promise that you will write the same on your leaflet. Next, a couple of seconds of silence, you are trying to guess the word and write on the sheet “The same”, then preparing the audience for the result, show the sheet with the inscription, voice it, explaining that you have completed the promised and wrote the same thing.

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

• We draw a masterpiece in front of the public. So, we need to take easels, paints, brushes, a sheet of sufficiently thin paper, reproduction of the picture, butter.
• The essence of the focus is that you pre -wrap the picture with paper and attach it to the easel. Next, place a sheet of clean paper on it and begin to draw.
• Spectators see that you take the paint with a brush, but in fact there should also be oil on the palette. Moking the brush in the oil, supposedly drawing, begin to drive it on paper.
• The paper will begin to make fun of, and the image of the picture will begin to appear.
• In a matter of seconds, you will draw a masterpiece right in front of all spectators.
• When doing a focus, do not forget about the expression of the face and the game with the public.

We recommend that you start with such simple tricks, they will help you learn to behave in front of people, to “play” the public. Only after you learn to masterfully show such illusions, go to something more complex, where, for example, everything will depend on the agility of your hands and the ability to keep the audience in tension.

How to learn how to make tricks with disappearance: step -by -step instructions, secrets

The most interesting, according to many people, tricks are tricks with disappearance. After all, to believe that the subject that had just been in front of you disappeared is simply unrealistic, but even this is possible for us.

1. The trick with the disappearance of the pencil. The key to your success is a fairly free shirt, with a long sleeve.

• We take the pencil in our hands and hold for its edges from 2 sides with three fingers: large, index and middle
• Guests show only the front side of the fingers
• We begin to press on the pencil with the fingers of the right hand. Thus, we slightly move it to the wrist of the right limb

• You need to make a trick quickly, distracting guests with your movements, facial expressions, etc.
• No need to show such a focus without training in advance, since such "magic" tends not to occur

2. Here is another completely simple trick with the disappearance of the coin. We need a table covered with a tablecloth, a coin and, of course, spectators. The focus should be shown 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 hand of the hand should slip a coin closer to the edge, until it finally sends it to your knees
• After that, we are not fussily 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 say with surprise that it worked
• During all this manipulations, you need to pick up a coin from the knees with your left hand, then to “get” it completely from an unexpected place

How to learn how to make tricks with a handkerchief: step -by -step instructions, secrets

Focuses with shawls are standard on all performances of fakirs, and it is not in vain. It is the tricks with such a props that are made quite easily, however, they always make a special impression on the public.

1. So, we need a scarf, an assistant and, in principle, nothing more, only the dexterity of the hands and the ability to tie the knots in a special way.

• As an assistant, you can choose any viewer
• Next, take a scarf, it should be large enough and twist it so that the tourniquet turns out
• Now we take a twisted scarf and throw it into the hand of a person, doing this from the bottom up. That is, the fabric of the scarf will hold the hand on the bottom
• We must place the left end of the fabric in the left hand between the index and middle finger. The right end is held arbitrarily
• Next, we put the right end of the scarf between the ring and middle finger. At that moment, there is already an air loop on the viewer's hand
• The right end, after placing it between the indicated fingers, should look towards the thumb and lie on the left end

• We press the middle finger to the palm of your hand. At this time, the thumb and middle fingers of the left hand hold the right end of the fabric
• We take the left end of the scarf, toss in the resulting loop and continuing to hold the right end with your left hand, tighten the loop
• Visually it will seem that one strong knot on the hand of a person is made
• Next, we 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 nodes
• At this moment, all the audience will see a miracle - a scarf, passing through the man’s hand, literally jumps off her and ties in a knot in the hands of a skilled magician

The focus with the disappearance of the scarf and the emerging rose is also very popular, however, these tricks require a special props, so we recommend that you initially hone the skill on the above, the simplest focus, and after moving to something more complex.

How to learn how to make tricks with an elastic band: step -by -step instructions, secrets

Focuses with an elastic band are slightly less popular by the rest, however, for a novice magician, these tricks are considered the most suitable.

1. We need to take a ring, an office gum cut:

• So what are we doing next? We stretch the elastic band through the jewelry, while it is important to stretch it not for the entire length, but only for a couple of cm
• The rest of the elastic band will be hidden in our hand
• Then raise the hand up that holds the elastic band without a ring, and slightly shaking it
• At this moment, the decoration will fall down the other end
• Now you should very carefully and gradually begin to release the edge of the elastic band that is unnecessary. The ring will rise up

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

How to learn how to make tricks with a cigarette: step -by -step instructions, secrets

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

1. So, the first focus - groaning. Of the details, we take a special non -real cigarette. As a rule, by the end of the cigarette on the side of the filter, an elastic band is attached, with which during the focus you will get rid of it. The filter itself moves through the cigarette, with this, the effect is that the cigarette is placed in the nose.

• We take a cigarette, first under a jacket in the sleeve area, fasten the elastic band, creating a tension
• Next, hold a cigarette in the hand and substitute it to the edge of the nose, so that the viewer visually saw that the cigarette is just at the hole of the nose
• We begin to move the props upward filter, creating the impression that a cigarette is plunged into the nose
• After that, let go of the cigarette, the elastic band works, and the props flies unnoticed

2. And one more exciting a 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 is visible from the side of the filter. There is also a tube with the props-a kind of case for the same cigarette, when a cigarette gets there is not visible due to the fact that its cavity is black, like the cavity of the case. With all this, an ordinary person will not be able to get her without the help of a magician, but in principle we need it.

• Well, the essence of the focus in a decreasing cigarette. To be more precise, then in the case we put allegedly an ordinary cigarette, and we get a very small
• In the cavity of a large cigarette we put a reduced copy of it
• With a finger, we press the part from where the cigarette can fall out. Show the hall that the cigarette is very ordinary, and place it in the case
• After this case, close the cap and pronounce any magic words
• Shake a small cigarette from the case
• The case can be given to guests and spectators, visually in it is not visible a cigarette and it will not get it from there, even if you knock on the case

How to show tricks: tips

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

• Show tricks only after long training. Do not experience fate. Train at home in front of the mirror, so you will see everything that happens, as if from the side
• Be always prepared for the fact that something will go wrong. In this case, you need not to be confused, but quickly and imperceptibly fix the error
• If there is no opportunity to fix the error, you need to be able to quickly switch people's attention to another object, focus, etc.
• Hard not only the dexterity of the hands, but also acting, because showing tricks, you literally play the role of a wizard. Do not be afraid to be funny, pronounce the words clearly and with the corresponding intonation
• Showing the tricks, do not rush, haste in this matter is useless. It is quickly necessary only those movements and manipulations that the viewer can notice, do it differently
• Before showing a focus to a large number of people, show it to someone from your relatives and ask to objectively evaluate it. Based on this, make a decision whether you have enough skills to demonstrate such an illusion
• If you work with props, do not save on it, otherwise at the wrong time it will easily let you down

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