Few people know that despite the magic that illusionists bring to daily life, many of them are actually big skeptics and question everything “paranormal”. For example, popular magicians Raymond Teller and Penn Jillette in their program smashed to smithereens dubious theories about the end of the world and the omnipotence of psychics.

Nevertheless, brilliant stunts performed by professionals still fascinate audiences to this day.

In this article website I decided to lift the veil of secrecy and reveal the secrets of some well-known tricks, so that the next time you watch a dangerous trick, you can be calm about the lives of its performers. And you can easily repeat one trick yourself, using props that you definitely have at home.

Trick with turning one person into another

The magician climbs into the bag, which is tightly tied by his assistant. It is then placed in a chest and locked. The assistant stands on the chest, raises the screen, and when she lowers it, the magician appears before the viewer. He then unlocks the chest and unties the bag, revealing the assistant, often in a different costume for added effect.

What's the secret: The magician's bag has a way out, usually a zipper that can be opened from the inside. The assistant stands with her feet on the edges of the chest, but the top panel is easily opens. When the girl lifts the screen, the magician quickly jumps out of the box, grabs the screen, and the assistant, on the contrary, jumps inside. While the magician opens the lock of the chest, the girl climbs into the bag and takes off her outer suit, revealing another underneath. The faster and more harmoniously actions, the more spectacular the performance becomes.

Throwing knives at people

At first glance, this trick seems very dangerous. But the person attached to the target is in no danger.

The girl is placed in a large box with sections for the head, hands and feet. The magician moves her head, arms and legs, demonstrating an unprecedented stretch that the human body is not capable of.

A magician pours water into a glass. But then a piece of ice falls out of the glass instead of water. There is, of course, no violation of the laws of physics.

An ordinary sponge is hidden inside which absorbs water and ice in advance placed into a glass. You can repeat this trick at home, but remember that the “magic” glass should not be transparent.

The disappearance of pigeons

The wizard places one or more pigeons in a box. But when he lifts the lid again, the birds are gone.

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with them, it's just in the roof secret compartment, it is very small and inconspicuous, but the birds easily fit there.

Burial alive

This trick is performed in open areas. The magician is placed in a box and truly buried in the ground, but after a few seconds he gets out of this dangerous trap. Not everyone decides to take such a risk, but if performed correctly, the magician will not suffer.

The box has secret door , through which the artist moves into a pre-prepared underground

Magic tricks always attract attention. And if their secret has not yet been revealed, they are filled with special magic. By the way, sometimes for a good focus you don’t need to look for special equipment at all.

Team website invites you to become real wizards using the most ordinary objects.

Coca-Cola in a ball

For this simple trick, all you need is a balloon and a bottle of Coca-Cola. Place the balloon on the neck of the bottle and have someone tilt the bottle and pour the cola into the balloon. Usually these attempts fail because the ball is tightly compressed. The secret is that you need to shake the bottle slightly so that the gas begins to move into the ball.

Banana with filling

A delicious trick for lovers of sweet surprises. You can try stuffing a banana without peeling it using a syringe. Or cut a banana from the tail side, make a hole with a straw and add Nutella or condensed milk. Then we take a banana, peel it and surprise the kids!

Phone - in a ball

A good trick for the holidays when balloons are flying everywhere in the room. We take one of them and keep it lying on the table, pressing it with the phone. Then we sharply deflate the ball by pressing on the phone. That's all - the gadget is “trapped”!

Light two candles without matches

This simple trick is very effective. You will need two candles, glycerin and potassium permanganate powder. Lubricate the wick of one candle with glycerin in advance, and the other with potassium permanganate. We bring the candles to each other with wicks... And, lo and behold, they light up! When performing a trick, hold the candles at arm's length, away from you.

Paperclip on the water

This focus will allow you to take your mind off work or school. Invite others to place a paperclip in a glass of water so that it does not drown. And when the unsuccessful attempts are completed, do the same, but with the help of another paperclip, previously unbent for the convenience of the process. And you did it!

Turning an orange into an apple

A wonderful trick for children. Show the orange, cover it with a scarf, say the “magic words” and tear off the scarf. Wow, there's an apple there! For this “miracle” you need to peel the orange in advance and place the apple in it. When showing, squeeze the apple in the orange peel and then deftly grasp the cloth and peel.

Ball raising glass

This trick is suitable for a friendly bet. Tell me that you can easily lift balloon cup. How is this possible? All the “magic” is in ordinary matches. We throw a burning match to the bottom of the glass and immediately apply the ball to the upper edge, pressing lightly. As soon as the match burns out, pick it up!

Unusual tricks have always attracted people's attention and made them dream of mastering this difficult art. However, many people are left on the path to their dreams by the involuntary reverence that every person experiences before professional illusionists. Indeed, it is almost impossible to repeat many tricks without props, talent and many years of training. However, there are many simple tricks that a beginning illusionist can easily master.

Magic beads

Everyone knows that if you cut the thread on which the beads are strung, the glass balls will crumble. Is it so? The magician asks one of the spectators to lend him beads. Shows the decoration to everyone, holding it by the lock. After which he cuts the thread with scissors, and the beads are poured into a glass. It would seem that the decoration is damaged beyond repair, and the guest is upset.

However, the focus is not yet complete. The illusionist rolls up a little bag from a sheet of paper, pours the contents of the glass into it and throws a thread after it. A wave of the hand - and completely intact beads appear from the paper bundle, even the cut lock is back in place! Meanwhile, the magician straightens the paper bag, and everyone sees a sheet of ordinary blank paper.

This trick invariably causes delight and amazement of the audience and, at the same time, its secret is very simple. For it you will need the simplest beads with a lock and a trained assistant. Take a thin thread or fishing line and thread it through each bead, next to the main thread. Tie a large knot at both ends. You will find in your hands a necklace that looks ordinary, but it now consists of two threads, one of which can be cut without danger.

To perform the trick, you will need to take the beads by the upper knot of the fake thread, holding them low above the glass, carefully cut off the lower knot. Any beads still held by the main thread will instantly slide into the bowl. You will still have a fake thread in your hands, and the sound of beads on glass will serve as additional confirmation of the death of the necklace.

After this, all you have to do is roll up a triangular bag out of paper and, after pouring beads and thread into it, pull out the undamaged beads back.

It is important! A fake thread dropped into a bag can give you away, so you need to learn how to quietly hide it in your hand, only pretending to push it into a paper parcel.

How to remove a shirt through a jacket

The spectacular trick, during which the magician takes off the shirt of a spectator invited to the stage without even touching the jacket he is wearing over it, has long become a classic of the genre. However, its secret is very simple, and you can easily do it at home.

You can't do this trick without the help of an assistant. The person who will be randomly selected among the guests must dress in a special way in advance: throw the shirt over his shoulders without putting his arms through the sleeves, and button the collar and cuffs. Once a jacket or any other long-sleeved clothing is put on top, it will be impossible to guess what your assistant’s unique “wardrobe” will be. During the performance, all you have to do is unbutton the buttons and pull the sleeve to remove the shirt.

Turning a scarf into an egg

For a holiday with friends, the trick of turning a silk scarf into an egg is perfect. The magician shows everyone the handkerchief and, shaking it, pushes it into his clenched fist. Then he waves his hand, pronounces a spell and unclenches his hand. To the amazement of the audience, the handkerchief is no longer in his hand. Instead, the usual one lies in the palm of your hand. egg. The magician breaks the egg with a dramatic gesture, and everyone sees among the broken shell miraculously what turned out to be a piece of colored fabric.

Transforming a scarf, like any tricks for beginners, can be easily repeated at home. To do this you will need:

• 1 egg;
• a sharp knife with a thin tip;
• a bright scarf made of thin fabric;
• sandpaper or nail file.

First, you need to prepare the props, the role of which will be played by the egg. Make a small round hole in it and drain the yolk and white through it. Dry the shell and carefully sand the edges of the hole with sandpaper. It is in this egg that the scarf will be hidden during the trick, and it is important that the shell does not break prematurely, catching on the fabric. The shell can first be kept in a saline solution for several hours to make it more durable.

When everything is ready, you can start the trick. Hide the egg in your fist so that it is not visible to the audience and, showing everyone the handkerchief, carefully push it through the hole into the shell. So, sim-salabim! The handkerchief in your hand turned into a chicken egg.

It is important! Externally, the egg looks whole, but a hole in the side will instantly reveal your secret. Therefore, you need to hold the egg so that thumb always covered for her.

You can watch this trick in this video:

You can order this egg

Scarf through the neck

Ask your friends what happens if you wrap a scarf around your neck and pull the ends sharply. “Nothing healthy,” you will hear. However, nothing is impossible for a magician, and you can demonstrate to your audience how an ordinary scarf, cinched around your neck, passes harmlessly through your body and remains in your hands.

The key to this trick lies in the special way of tying the scarf. Throw the fabric over your shoulders so that it runs along the back of your neck and hangs down on both sides of your chest. Grasp the opposite end of the scarf with each hand: the right one for the left one, and vice versa. Now it all depends on how quickly you can complete the “tying”. Bring the right end behind your neck to the left, leaving a small loop. With your other hand, at the same moment, throw the second part of the scarf, also covering the neck on the left, so that the fabric presses down and hides the loop that was created before.

Now your neck is wrapped in a scarf, which only appears to be pulled tight. A slight pull is enough, and the fabric, having slipped, will remain in your hands without causing any harm. Here is a video where the same trick is shown only with a rope, the same with a scarf.

Of course, knowing the secret is not enough to successfully perform a trick. Remember that the more mysterious and unusual you behave, the more willing the audience will be to believe in your supernatural abilities.

Demonstrating miracles to others, mastering the art of magic, being a magician - everyone dreamed of this. And not just because it will make you stand out from the crowd, add zest to your everyday life, or make you popular. However, because the magician conceals special power within himself, he knows how to bewitch people. How to learn to do magic tricks? You just need to train and show a little artistry!

How to learn to do simple tricks?

Everyone can usually learn simple tricks, even a child. To do this, you need to find out the secret of the trick, carefully rehearse it and show it to others. Professionals often use complex props that have been prepared for them in advance. individual order. However, for ordinary tricks, you can take what is at hand: pins, matches, handkerchiefs or coins.

The trick we are going to tell you about now is called “Match and Pin”. Its essence is that the audience is shown a pin, on the sharp part of which a match has been strung perpendicularly. Then the illusionist pretends that he is trying to spin the match around the pin, but, of course, it rests on the other side of the pin and cannot pass. Those around make sure that there are no cuts on the match and it is impossible to turn it. At the same moment, the illusionist makes a lightning-fast movement and still spins the match through the pin.

The secret of this trick is very simple. When you heat the match with a pin, you need to twist it well back and forth so that the hole opens up and the match turns freely. When you perform the trick, you need to sharply twist the match. Naturally, it will not pass through the pin, but it will spin in the other direction. Nobody will notice this from the outside - the effect will be as if a match had passed through a pin.

Interesting fact:

Georg Nagel, a famous magician, performed his program in Paris. He performed a trick that created the illusion of piercing a finger with a nail. The secret of this trick is in the art of bewitching those around you so that no one notices the substitution. During the performance, the audience surrounded the magician in a very dense ring; Nagel could not decide to show this trick. And those around him wanted to see him. As a result, the magician had to really pierce his finger with a nail - at the same time, despite the pain, he smiled and pretended that it was just an illusion. This is what a magician is ready to do, if he is dedicated to his work!

There are many interesting and, at the same time, simple tricks with coins and playing cards. You will learn about them below.

An unfading, timeless classic is the card guessing trick. The spectator chooses any card. Then he puts it in the middle of the deck and shuffles. The illusionist's task is to find this card. This is quite easy to do. You just need to remember the adjacent card - then the card that will follow it will be the hidden one.

Transformation of a card. There is nothing complicated in this trick, but it is necessary to carry out training that develops finger dexterity. So, you need to take the deck and show the card to the spectator. Then turn the deck over so that it is face down and throw the desired card into the table. There will be a card on the table of a different value and a different suit.

The secret of this transformation is that the penultimate card should be thrown out of the deck, and not the one at the very end. To do this, sneak your index finger under the two cards. Wherein thumb hold the card that the audience saw. The middle, ring and little fingers should be released so that the card can easily fly out of the deck. Finally, with your index finger, quietly and quickly draw another card from the deck.

First, try learning the one-coin trick. Place the coin in your palm and use your other hand to act as if you were holding a coin. At this moment, the main thing is to depict the moment of shifting as realistically as possible. To do this, bend your fingers slightly so that the viewer does not notice that the coin remains in the same hand. Do the imaginary grip casually, only touching your palm with your fingers without strong grasping or pinching movements. So, it seems to everyone that the coin is now in the other hand, open it and show the viewer that it is empty, that is, the coin has disappeared. Now you can get it from any other place, for example, from behind your shoulder or from behind a friend’s ear. If you get good at it, you will be able to see how delighted others will be with this trick, because the effect is created as if a coin appears out of thin air.

Well, of course, if you master this trick, you can easily cope with several coins. The 3-coin trick, like the others, looks like real magic, although it is very simple. Show the viewer one coin, which will be held between two fingers; it should be shown from all possible angles so that everyone can be sure that there is only one coin. Then the illusionist must throw it on the table, but there will be 3 coins on the table.

As in the previous trick, in this trick you need to take all 3 coins correctly and not make a mistake during the demonstration. Hold two of them parallel between your thumb and index fingers, and one perpendicularly. The perpendicular coin will cover the rest, which should not be visible due to the index and thumb. They can only be seen from one angle, which should be avoided during the demonstration. So, the audience sees only the last coin, and all 3 are thrown onto the table.

Important:

Performing a trick perfectly is only possible after careful rehearsals and training. If you show a “raw” trick, 90% are likely to be figured out. In addition, never reveal the secret of the trick or talk about what will happen next - you should not give in to provocations. Otherwise, interest in the number will be lost.

Follow these simple rules and remember what is important for all illusionists is artistry. Come up with special special effects like magic spells or magical gestures, play with the audience, and also have a little faith in what you are doing. Then the audience will definitely believe you.

Unlike other methods like playing musical instruments, it is easier and cheaper; a deck costs much less than the same guitar. No need to have ear for music, possess the innate ability to sing, sense of rhythm, you just need desire to learn and manual dexterity.

How to start training?

Magician's tools

I note that in order to master the initial skills of playing the musical instrument Usually it takes about two months, at least one for sure.

Important: Video lessons with maps, like text ones, have one minus . Your viewers can easily expose you by finding the technique on the Internet. As you can see, the availability of material has its drawbacks. Although it is worth mentioning the existence of unique materials.

Which focus should I start with?

I suggest starting with focus "Maps Through Glass" famous illusionist David Copperfield it is distinguished by its high simplicity and extreme effectiveness.

Since you are completely new, you probably don’t know what it looks like. And it looks like this:

• Spectators and the illusionist gather near the glass door of a supermarket or car.
• The magician takes an unpacked deck and offers to choose any card, the one who chooses signs on it, and then returns it.
• The illusionist dries it from the marker, puts it with everyone, shuffles it and returns them.
• Disagrees with the audience different sides glass
• The assistant smears the deck on the glass, and he takes out that same card directly from the glass.

At first glance, it looks like magic, but in reality everything is extremely simple. To perform, you must have mastery of technology "false shuffle" and "palming" .

It won’t be difficult for you to learn it using video lessons with maps. In the process of learning the technique of performing some tricks, you will learn various techniques that will definitely be useful to you for others. The first thing you need to master is, of course, the “false shuffle”; it is used in most tricks.

How to choose lessons?

The easiest way to learn card tricks is through video lessons.

On the Internet a large number of material. There is no big difference in which lessons you study, any videos are almost the same.

• Choose videos with good quality shooting.
• If you are going to study on YouTube, then it is better to choose channels of people with a large number of subscribers and recordings. These parameters may indicate the authority of the author, and there is also a possibility that there will be videos on the channel that teach the whole movement, which the author used specifically in this illusion.

If you watch several different videos teaching the same trick, you may notice differences in the authors’ techniques. Here you will have a question: “what is the right way”? Does not exist single correct option, everyone has the right to exist. Learn the option that you like or the one that looks more impressive.

Important: If you have already decided to start learning, then remember right away - you don’t need to perform one trick several times in a row, otherwise you could be exposed.
