Trick 1: Coin Vanishes Magic
A coin is placed on a table right in front of your audience. An upturned glass is placed next to the coin. The glass is then covered with a silk or handkerchief and then placed over the coin. When the silk is removed, the coin has mysteriously vanished into thin air. The silk is then placed over the glass which is then lifted. Amazingly, the coin has reappeared.
Things Required
A sheet of construction paper (1), a clear glass, a handkerchief and a coin.
Preparation
Trace the glass onto the sheet of paper and cut the circle out. Then tape it to the glass so when you put it onto a piece of paper the same color it blends in.
Trick
When you do the above put the glass onto a piece of paper and just basically move the paper covered glass over the coin while the whole thing is under the handkerchief so the glass covers the coin. Pull off the handkerchief. The coin will have "disappeared.
Trick 2 Glass Vanishes Coin Is Still There
On a hard surface put a coin and a glass cup over it. Then lift the paper cup with a towel and again smash down the paper cup over the coin. Remove the towel. The cup has vanished. Coin is still there.
Note: Show your audience there is no hole in the table.
Things Required
Paper or plastic cup either works fine
Paper towel
A coin
A hard surface
Trick
What you do is place the cup over the coin and cover the cup up with the paper towel. The audience should be on the opposite side of the table and you should be sitting. Lift up the cup and make the audience concentrate on the coin, while they are not looking drop the cup on your lap still holding the paper towel (which should be in the shape of the cup) place it back on the table. When you have the audiences attention smash down the cup and drop the cup from your lap and show the audience that there is no hole in the table and the coin is still there. Smile.
Trick 3 Number appears on your hand
The magician asks for a volunteer from the audience. The volunteer picks a number between 1 and 10. The magician writes the number on a sugar cube. The magician drops the cube into a cup of water and holds the volunteer's hand over the water.He/she turns the volunteer's hand over and Poof! the number is on the volunteer's hand.
Things Required
A pencil (must be a pencil, pen will NOT work)
A sugar cube (you can have several for effect)
A glass of water
Trick
Have the volunteer pick a number. Write it onto the sugar cube with a pencil (press hard). Then, hold the cube between your thumb and one finger. Hold it so the number transfers onto your thumb and say," Now I will put this cube into the cup". Press the cube as hard as possible so the number is on your thumb. Put the cube into the water and hold the volunteer's hand above the water, make sure your thumb is in their palm so the number from your finger transfers onto the volunteer's hand. This is a good trick to show smaller kids because they are less likely to figure out the trick.
