5 Fun Magic Tricks for Kids
We have mentioned simple magic tricks for kids that will not take up much of your time and can be performed without any fancy props or years of experience. Let’s learn the magic tricks one by one here.
- Sugar cube number trick:
What you need: Imperial sugar cubes, water, and pencil.
How to do it: Ask the kids to pick any number and write it on the sugar cube using a pencil. Pick up the sugar cube and show the number to the kids. Tightly squeeze the sugar cube against your thumb secretly, so the number will be printed on your thumb. Put the sugar cube in the water bowl and allow it to dissolve. Now, wave your hand in the air and say some spell. Press your thumb on your palm and show the number to the kids and say you transferred the number from the sugar cube to your palm.
- Changing card trick:
What you need: A deck of cards
How to do it: Shuffle a deck of cards and show the kids a black card (for example black Hearts card). Make sure to secretly hide a red card (for example red Hearts card) behind your hand. With one hand, hold the black card in the air, and use your other hand to wave over the black card. In a split second, remove the black card and show the hidden red card. This will amaze kids as the black card is replaced by the red card.
- Vanishing the water from the glass trick:
What you need: A glass, water, a small container, and a cloth
How to do it: Hold the place and pour some water into it or you can ask any kid to pour it into the glass. Conceal the top of the glass by placing the cloth on it. While covering the glass rim, use the small container under the handkerchief to remove the water from the glass. Take off the cloth and show the seemingly empty glass to the kids. You can also pour the water back into the glass to show that you bought back the vanished water.
- Multiplying coins:
What you need: 2 or more identical coins
How to do it: Put a coin on your palm and show it to the kids. You can show both your hands to make them believe that you are not hiding any other coin in your hands. The trick is to hide the coin in between your middle and index or middle and ring fingers. This way, the coins will not be visible to the kids when you show your palms to them. After showing the coin, put your hand into a fist. Now, loosen your finger grip so the hidden coin can fall into your palm. Open your palm and show the 2 coins
- Colorful toothpick:
What you need: A toothpick and transparent tape
How to do it: Take a toothpick and break it into half. Color one half of the toothpick and attach it to the back of your thumb using tape. Take the other half of the toothpick and hold it between your thumb and forefinger. Make sure to show it to the kids. In a swift movement, fold your thumb behind your fingers, which will hide the visible toothpick half and show the taped half behind your thumb (colorful toothpick).
