In fact, you can make your kids’ friends, and family amazed with these magic tricks. What are those magic tricks? Read on and learn some simple yet fantastic magic tricks kids can easily learn.
Coin Trick
This is a classic magic trick that has been around for centuries. It’s great for kids to learn because it requires very little props or preparation. All you need is a coin and your hand. Here’s how to do the coin trick. Ask someone to borrow a coin from you. Tell them to hold onto the coin tightly in their fist. While holding the coin, tell them to focus on it and imagine it disappearing. As they are focusing on the coin, slowly wave your hand over their fist. After a few seconds, open their hand, and the coin will be gone. This trick works because the person is so focused on the coin that they don’t notice when you take it from their hand.
Floating Pencil Trick
This is another classic magic trick that is perfect for kids. All you need for this trick is a pencil and a string. Start by tying the string around the middle of the pencil. Then, hold the pencil by the string and allow the pencil to dangle in front of you. Focus on the pencil and imagine it rising up into the air. After a few seconds, the pencil will start to slowly rise up. This trick works because you are using the power of your mind to move the pencil.
Card Trick
Card magicians are some of the most famous magicians in the world. This trick is great for kids to learn because it requires no props and can be done with a regular deck of cards. Start by having someone choose a card from the deck and remember it. Once they have chosen their card, have them shuffle the deck and put it back together. Once the deck is put together, ask them to cut it anywhere they want. After they have cut the deck, take the top half of the deck and place it on the bottom of the deck. The magic happens when you tell them to look at their card, and it will be the only one facing the opposite direction. This trick works because of the way the cards are cut.
So what’s the bottom line? These are only three of the many magic tricks that kids can easily learn. So get out there and start teaching your kids some magic.
