Top 4 Simple Magic Tricks:


Card Levitation


Effect:


The magician puts 1 or 4 cards under his hand. He slowly lifts his hand and the cards float with his hand. Holding his hand above the table, the magician pulls the cards of his hand and drops them on the table.

You will need: A ring, matchstick, card(s)


Secret:


1. Put the ring on your middle finger. Then put the matchstick under the ring so that both sides of the match stick out.
2. Place your hand palms down on the table and place a card under your palm but above the matchstick. You need to practice this move to make it look like your just placing a card under your palm not above a matchstick.
3. Now you can lift your hand from the table. Press your fingers down a little on the back of the cards, they will remain in position and appear to be levitating.

Ice Ice Baby!


Effect


Pour some water into a cup, blow on the cup and then turn it upside down where out pops some ice cubes.

You need a cup or glass that you can't see through. You also need a small sponge and and some ice cubes.


Method


Prepare the cup by placing the sponge into the bottom of the cup. Then, drop a few ice cubes on top of the sponge and you're ready to go.
To perform pour a small amount of water (about an inch) into the cup. The sponge will absorb the water. Blow into the cup, wave your hands over it and dump out the ice cubes.
If you are using a disposible plastic cup for the trick, just throw it away at this time.
Watch the look of surprise on your friends faces.

Quick Coin Vanish


Effect:


A coin is placed onto the table. It is picked up and it magically vanishes.

Method:


First, let me tell you this is about as easy as a magic trick as it gets.
Set the coin onto the table with your left hand.
Say something like "Check this out" and reach over with your right hand.
Then press down on the coin with your index, middle, and 3rd fingers with your hand and arm parrallel with the table.
Slide the coin towards you keeping in mind it should be completely covered up.
Slide the coin off the table so it falls into your lap.
Touch your thumb to your middle finger as if you are picking up the coin as it reaches the edge of the table.
Keeping all your fingers closed still.
Stare at where the coin should be as you slowly move your hand away from you back to about 6 inches above where the coin originally was. Start moving your thumb in a circular motion as if the coin is dissapearing.
Slowly turn your hand around and spread your fingers apart. Now the rest is up to you. The more surprised you act and if you act like you were all fortunate to see a miracle, people will believe the trick even more and remember it ( and you ) forever , --------- maybe.
