All you need is a few supplies and a little bit of practice and you are set to have a good time. Any magician will tell you that magic tricks are a work of illusion, therefore, every trick will need a lot of practice. Here are some beginner's tricks that can help get you started. You can start with jumping paper clips.
You will need a currency note and two paper clips. Fold the currency note into an S shape. It should look so from the top. Attach a paper clip each to the top and bottom loops of the S. Slowly pull out the ends of the currency note. You will see the two clips move towards the center. Once they come together, they will link together and fall off. Another interesting magic trick is the levitating ring. For this you will need a pencil, a finger ring, some transparent sticky tape and a bit of black thread.
With some of the clear tape, stick a bit of the black thread to the top of the pencil. Do this on the metal part that holds the eraser. Hold the pencil in your hand and run the bottom part of the thread down through your shirt button hole or through your belt buckle. You can even loop it around a button. Make sure that the thread length is taut enough when you lift your hand a bit away from your body.
Now put the ring on the pencil. When you move the pencil away from your body, the thread will push the ring up. You will have to practice this is such a way so as not to show the thread when you make your moves.There are several other magic tricks that can easily be found in books and on the Internet. Most of the things you will need can easily be found in any home. Practice is the key to improving your act with magic tricks.
