In any company there is always a person who knows how to cheer up and lift your spirits. Often this is a good storyteller, a lover of jokes, or a born entertainer. You don't have such talents, but you also wouldn't mind being in the spotlight?

There is a way out: you can try to master the art of magic in order to amaze your friends with real miracles. And for this it is not at all necessary to dissolve in water or cut yourself in two. Start with a small, but no less interesting performance - learn how to do tricks with coins. So, we reveal the secrets of illusionists.

You will need:

Appearance inside the glass

You need to prepare in advance, and you can only perform the trick once per evening. You will need: a transparent glass, a coin, glue and a scarf.

Glue the penny to the bottom. Show the audience an empty container, holding it from below, you can turn it over and run away. Then pour water into it, once again demonstrating that there is nothing in the glass.

Throw a scarf on top and announce that a coin will now appear inside. Here it is appropriate to say some abracadabra or make magical passes with your hands. Remove the scarf and invite the audience to look into the container - the coin, as you promised, lies at the bottom.

The secret is an optical illusion. When you look at the glass from the side, you get the impression that there is nothing in it; you can only see the object from above.

Invisible Rise

Place the penny on the table and invite someone to take it without touching the table or the penny itself. Naturally, no one can do this.

The trick is that you need to hold your hand 5 cm from the coin and blow on it with enormous force. Thus, the air is able to lift an object and throw it directly into the palm. We don’t promise that the trick will work the first time, but after several trainings you will learn everything.

Edge stand

Ask the audience for a large coin. Then stand facing them with your right hand extended forward, palm down. Place the disc between your fingers. Then carefully remove your left hand - the penny will remain on the edge and will not fall.

The point is an ordinary pin. As you place the penny on the fingers of your right hand, push the small pin head down with the thumb of your left hand, positioning it just behind it. The coin will stand straight on its edge, supported by a support invisible to the viewer.

Lemon

Prepare some fruits and put them on a plate. Invite the audience to see that the lemons in front of them are ordinary. Ask which lemon needs to be cut. Divide it into two parts with a knife - there will be a coin inside.

What's the catch? Everything is simple - you need to glue a coin to the knife using a thin layer of plasticine (closer to the handle, where you cover it with your hand). When pulling out the knife, pinch the blade with two lemon halves and you're done!

Brush

Place the coin in your palm. Take a regular brush in your other hand. Invite any spectator to clean the coin from your hand. And no matter how hard he tries, it won’t work. As an intrigue, you can even promise a prize to the winner. But that won't happen.

What is the secret of focus? It's just that the bristles of the brush are elastic and always work in different directions - some move it up, while others move it down. In this cunning way, the object always remains in the center of the palm.

Disappearance

Take a penny from your pocket and clasp it in your fist. Then ask someone who wants to hold your hand and make sure that the coin does not disappear. He won’t be able to do this, because as soon as you open your fist, there will be no coin in it.

How to do this trick? Take out a lot of small change of different denominations from your pocket. Pick one, say you don't need the others and throw them back. Create the appearance of holding a coin between the thumb and index finger of your right hand. In fact, there is no trace of it, since it went into the pocket along with the others.

All this is the most simple tricks with a coin, which are easy to teach even to a child. If you have a more demanding viewer, and you do not intend to stop there, read on.

Sleight of hand

First of all, you need to practice several manual techniques until they become automatic:

Holding a coin in an open palm

Place 5 pennies in the center of the brush and very slowly begin to close it. If you select right place, the palm will begin to contract, securely fixing the position of the coin. Now you can wave your hand as you please without fear of it falling out.

Practice on both hands. In this case, you should show only the outer or side part of your palm to the audience.

Hiding

There are several techniques to make it appear as if an object is moving from one hand to another. We recommend studying them all, since the same method will quickly arouse suspicion among an attentive counterpart.

1. Take the coin with your index and middle fingers, holding it with your thumb. Then bend it back and pull the coin towards your palm - it will fall exactly in the place that you determined in the previous exercise. Now you need to work with both hands. One hides the coin, and the other seems to take it. As a result, the empty palm is kept closed, and the hand with the coin needs to be opened and lowered freely.
2. Hold the coin between the index and ring fingers of your right hand. While moving it towards the left, simultaneously place your thumb on the coin, covering it with the upper knuckle. Bend your finger and hide the coin in this place, keeping it slightly bent. Make a movement with your other hand as if the money is already in it.
3. Place a coin in the middle of your palm, and with your other hand make realistic movement, as if you take it and hide it in your fist. Lower your first hand, holding it open - the penny is hiding in our safe hollow.
4. The coin lies on the open hand. Move the other one so that your thumb goes under it and the rest on top, and immediately close your palm. From the outside it looks like you picked up the object, but in reality you drop it back, covering it with your fingers.
5. The penny is held with the index, middle and thumb, with the inside of the palm facing the magician. With the same fingers of your other hand, you seem to grab it, meanwhile allowing it to slide into your half-bent palm.
6. Ideal for using a large coin. Hold it with your index, middle and thumb fingers and, as if placing it on your other hand, use the tip of your thumb to move it to the middle phalanges. The hand remains open, and the coin is held at the ends by the pressure of the index and little fingers.

All movements should be calm, soft and as believable as possible. The gaze should always be directed towards the empty hand, this encourages the audience to also focus on it.

There are other methods, but to get started, it’s enough to master the ones described. Don't forget that these are just techniques, not actual tricks. You shouldn’t limit yourself to just hiding - you can surprise the audience a couple of times with your dexterity, but at the same time you will half reveal your secrets. We recommend that you always accompany all actions with magic spells and waves of your hands; it doesn’t hurt to have a “magic” wand, which often helps to hide the location of money and hide it in a secluded place.

Now it's time to learn more complex coin tricks.

Penetration through glass

Show the empty glass and close the open part of it tightly with your hand. Turn it upside down, tap it with a coin and push it inside - it will ring between the walls and your palm.

To do such a trick, you need two absolutely identical pennies. One is shown to the audience, and the other is hidden in an open palm. Cover the container with this hand, tap the bottom with the first coin, and with the last movement, release the secret money inside, and quickly and discreetly hide the one with which you knocked.

The missing money

Place your left elbow on the table, and with your right hand begin to rub the coin into your forearm. Let it fall out on the table after a few seconds - this is necessary for the trick.

Before attempting coin tricks, the beginner should learn through exercise several manual tricks that demonstrate dexterity.

The manual dexterity and attentiveness acquired through these exercises, if he has diligently put them into practice, is of the greatest value. It is safe to say that a skilled card magician will easily study any branch of this magical art - the art of magic.

The first thing a beginner must learn is the ability to palm, that is, to discreetly hold an object in an open hand by contracting the palm.

In order to acquire this skill, take a coin the size of a five-kopeck coin and place it on your open hand (see Fig. 59).

Then close your hand very slowly and if you put the coin on Right place(which you will soon discover as you try), then it will be held by contracting your palm around the edges of the coin and you can
move your hand and arm completely freely, without fear of dropping it.

You must remember when practicing in this regard that the inside of the palm should be facing either downwards or towards your torso, as any careless movement may reveal the hidden coin.

When you are able to hold the coin in your right hand freely, do the same exercises with your left hand; after which you can replace the coin with a clock, an egg or a lemon, since all these objects are often used in tricks.

Once you've thoroughly learned these first techniques, you can begin to learn different ways to hide a coin in your hand.

All methods have the same goal - to create the appearance of moving an object from one hand to another, although in reality the object remains in the hand that it seemed to have just left.

Since the same movement, if repeated frequently, can arouse suspicion in the audience, it is useful to know different ways of producing it. For the sake of clarity of their sequence, we number the described methods.
Reception 1st. Take the coin in your right hand with your second, third and thumb (see Fig. 61) so that these fingers actually hold it, and the thumb only supports it. After this, release your thumb and bend the second and third fingers with the coin balancing on them towards your palm (see Fig. 62).

If the coin was placed on the fingers properly, then you will see that with this movement you place it on the palm, exactly in the place mentioned above as the most convenient.

When you extend your fingers again, the coin remains in your palm, as in Fig. 60.

If you have learned to do this easily with the hand at rest, you should practice the ability to do the same while the right hand is in motion towards the left hand, which should be open until the fingers of the right hand will touch her palm, and it will seem that she is holding a coin, which you seem to have transferred into her with this movement.

After this, the left hand should remain closed, as if holding a coin, and the right hand should be lowered and open, as if it were empty.

In case the item more coins, such as a watch or an egg, you should not pick it up with your fingers, but simply leave it in the palm of your right hand, slightly covering that hand as you move it towards your left.

A larger surface area in this case will give you the full opportunity to hold it without squeezing it in your palm. Just remember that, in any case, both hands should act as harmoniously as when you actually transfer something from hand to hand.

Therefore, you should raise your left hand to meet your right; but it should not begin its movement earlier than the right one. Once this is done, skillful use of the wand can help to conceal the fact that the object remains in your right hand.

For this purpose, the magician can place it before moving the object under the armpit of one or the other hand, as if in order to free up his hands.

Immediately after moving the object, the right hand should, after making a slight backward movement, which in this case will seem quite natural, grasp the rod, remove it from under the arm and then hold it until the coin needs to be manipulated.

The position of the fingers while holding the wand should be such as to hide the hidden coin, while the hand should appear completely free and natural. The same method can be applied with equal convenience to other techniques.

Reception 2nd. It is somewhat easier than the first dose and can in some cases replace it. Grab the coin by its edges with the index and ring fingers of your right hand, squeezing the edges of the coin with the sides of your fingers and supporting it from behind with your second finger (see Fig. 63).
Move your right hand toward your left, and at the same time gently push your thumb over the front of the coin until the top knuckle passes over its outer edge (see Fig. 64).

Then bend your thumb - and the coin will be well hidden between this joint and the connection of the thumb with the palm (see Fig. 65).

Just as in the previous case, the left hand should close the moment the right touches it, and the right thumb should remain slightly bent inward towards the palm so that the coin is not visible to the spectators.

This is very quick way hide and when skillfully executed, a complete illusion occurs.

Reception 3rd. Hold your left hand, palm up, with the coin in the position shown in Fig. 59. Move your right hand towards your left, make a movement with your fingers as if you were taking a coin, and immediately close your hand.

At the same time, slightly close your left hand so that you squeeze the coin with your palm, as in Fig. 67, and lower it so that it hangs freely along your body.

Reception 4th.(Turnstile). It is sometimes called the "French method". This is a very easy and at the same time very convenient way. Hold your left hand, palm up, with the coin as in Fig. 66.

Move your right hand towards your left, moving your right thumb under the coin and your other fingers over it, and at the same time close them.

It will appear to the spectators that you are grasping the coin with your thumb and fingers, when in reality you are simply dropping it into the palm of your left hand while it is covered by the fingers of your right hand (see Fig. 68).

Move your right hand back and forth after you have removed it from your left hand, following it with your eyes, which will draw the audience's attention away from the other hand.

Don’t be in too much of a hurry to lower your left hand, but turn your palm slightly toward you with your fingers slightly bent, and after a while, lower it down.

The cavity created by the bent fingers is sufficient to hold the coin. This method is also convenient for more small coins, because they are difficult to hide quickly using ordinary methods. It is also very useful for ball tricks.

Reception 5th.(Tweezers). This is a modification of the method just described. The coin is held as in Fig. 69 with the thumb, index and middle fingers of the left hand.

Then you make a movement as if you are taking it with the same fingers of your other hand, which at the same time seems to be grasping the coin, with the back side facing the audience.

At this moment, when the coin is covered by the fingers of the right hand, it can carefully slide into the palm of the left, and the right one immediately rises as if enclosing it.

Reception 6th. This method is adapted to the use of three or four coins, since the clinking of one coin against another contributes to the illusion. You take the coins in your right hand, as shown in Fig. 70, slightly bent.

Sharply point your right hand towards your left with your fingers forward so that the tips of the fingers of your right hand are almost at right angles to the palm of your left hand, and the fingers should be slightly bent.

The coins remain in the cavity formed by the fingers of the right hand, as in Fig. 71, instead of being thrown into the left hand (as it appears to the eyes and ears of the spectators).

They flip over completely, making a loud clinking noise as the arms come together.

The left hand is, of course, closed, and the thumb of the right hand can gently press the coins so that when the hand comes down along your body, they make no noise and thus do not betray their presence in it.

Reception 7th. This method is best applied to a large coin like a metal ruble. But if the student has a small hand (a very important disadvantage for tricks in general), he can apply this method to another coin.

Take the coin in your right hand with your index, middle and thumb fingers, and while you seem to move it into your left hand, gently move it with the tip of your thumb to the position shown in Fig. 72.

Moreover, it is held by the pressure of the first and fourth fingers on its opposite edges, while the hand remains completely open.

Reception 8th. The peculiarity of this technique is that when performing it, the baton is held in the hand - a case to which all other techniques are inapplicable.

Holding the rod and coin in your right hand as shown in Fig. 73, you press the edge of the coin firmly into the palm of your left hand and instantly squeeze that hand.
As a result of this movement, the coin (pressed only lightly) is pushed back to the position shown in Fig. 74, and in this position, being behind the index, middle and ring fingers, it remains completely covered.

Without wasting any time, you remove the fingers of your left hand from their previous position and gradually squeeze them, grasping the coin, since their prolonged extended position may seem suspicious.

But when doing this, you should be careful that the coin does not clink against the rod, for this sound, of course, will attract the attention of others.

It should not be assumed that all the above techniques are used by every magician. Almost each of them has their favorite technique or techniques.

The beginner must be convinced by experience which method best suits the structure of his hand. We described these techniques as if they were constantly performed with the same hand.

But if you want to achieve perfection, you must practice until you learn to do them both from the left hand to the right, and from the right to the left.

It is advisable to practice in front of a mirror, performing in front of it, firstly, everything that you subsequently intend to perform in front of others, and carefully monitor the position and movement of your hands.

You must learn to act in such a way that the audience does not have any suspicions. You must get used to constantly watching with your eyes the hand in which everyone thinks the object is located.

This is the best means to ensure that the eyes and attention of the viewers also follow the same direction. Once you get used to accurately performing these techniques with one coin, you can begin to practice with smaller coins, two, and then three or four at a time.

There is one caveat here. These techniques should not be considered tricks themselves, but only means for performing tricks.

If a magician seems to transfer a coin, for example from his right hand to his left, and shows that it has disappeared from his left hand, thus making the audience guess that it remains in his right hand, then they will, of course, be surprised at the dexterity with which he averted their eyes for a moment.

But in this way they will half penetrate into the secret of those tricks in which the coin is hidden in the palm.

If it is necessary to directly reproduce a coin, then the magician must do this as if finding it in the hair or sideburns of some spectator, or in another place convenient for him, and he must first announce in what place it will be found, thus distracting , general attention from myself.

When the coin is already in his hand, he only needs to transfer it to the tips of the fingers of the same hand when he touches it to the named place, as if taking it out from there.

After these instructions concerning the hand that actually contains the coin, a few words should be said about the hand that does not contain the coin.

Wherever you place an object, whether in a clenched hand or in an apparatus from which it is subsequently to disappear, you must make it a rule not to show that the object has disappeared from there without some preliminary magical action, however small, which may seem like a plausible excuse to such a disappearance.

The most insignificant action is enough - touching with a wand, pronouncing a magical formula like the word “pass”, pressing with a finger; but in one form or another this ceremony should never be omitted.

So, taking the simplest example, we assume that by move 1, you put a coin in your left hand, actually leaving it hidden in the palm of your right hand.

If you simply open your left hand and show that there is no coin there, then the audience will, of course, guess the truth, that is, that you did not place the coin there at all.

But if you wait a minute or two before opening your hand so that the spectators are accustomed to think of the coin as being in it, and then, before opening it, mysteriously touch your hand with your wand, or simply, slowly opening your hand, touch wrist with the second and third fingers of the hand holding the coin (see Fig. 75), then, thereby, not only give the hand an activity incompatible with hiding anything in it, but convince the audience that this gesture is the reason for the disappearance of the coin .

It is surprising what effect such deception has on the judgment of the spectators. And although they know very well that touching a clenched hand with a rod or a finger of the other hand cannot make the coin disappear, yet since it is certain that the coin has disappeared, their mind involuntarily accepts the explanation that you offer.

Before the hand is unclenched, the hand that holds the object has already somehow freed itself from it. In this case, the viewer is no longer able to assume that you are holding the object in the hand in which you originally showed it, because this hand turns out to be empty.

And since the complete disappearance of the coin remains an obvious fact, you can leave it to the viewer to explain this fact as he pleases.

The various techniques described above serve not only to make an object disappear, but also to secretly replace it with another similar one.

This exchange is constantly used in magic; we may even say that three-quarters of her miracles are based on it. When a substitution is made, the dummy object remains in full view of the audience, and the magician, having secretly received the real object into his possession, disposes of it as required by the trick. We will now describe various methods of substitution, also denoting them with numbers.

Substitution 1st. Let's assume that you want to replace the coin marked by the audience with some other one.

You hide the last one, which we will call “dummy”, “replaced”, in the palm of your left hand, trying to keep this hand facing away from the audience.

Taking the marked coin in your right hand, you hide it in your palm using technique 1, but instead of closing your left hand when the fingers of the right touch it, you leave the first one casually open and show the dummy coin lying on it, which is accepted by the public as the real one. , just placed there by your right hand.

Substitution 2nd. It differs only in that you do the 2nd technique with your right hand instead of the 1st.

Substitution 3rd. And here you resort to technique 2, but instead of your right hand, you hide the dummy coin in your left. Taking the marked coin with the same hand, you do the 2nd technique with it, simultaneously lowering the counter coin from her palm into her left hand.

This is a very elegant and effective substitution. Some magicians are skilled enough to make this substitution by using the 1st instead of the 2nd, so that the real coin takes the place of the substitute in the palm; but for this purpose more than ordinary dexterity is needed.

Substitution 4th. To make this substitution, you must hold the dummy coin in the palm of your right hand and the marked coin between the thumb and second finger of your left hand.

Then, by means of the 4th technique, you take the coin with your right hand and at the same moment discover the counterfeit that was already there.

Substitution 5th. Hide the dummy coin in the palm of your right hand, and hold the marked coin open in the palm of your left.

Take the latter with your right hand, while at the same time dropping the counter coin into your left hand, and the fingers of your left hand should be slightly bent in order to more conveniently hide the falling coin.

Show the marked coin in your right hand and say: “You saw that I took this coin openly. I will make her return invisibly to her original place.”

Hold your left hand, do the 1st or 2nd technique with your right hand, moving it towards the left, but without bringing your hands together. The marked coin will be hidden in the palm of your right hand.

Immediately then open your left hand and show a dummy coin, which the audience will consider to be real.

There are many other substitutions; their number is even too large to describe them all in this book. If you are skilled at hiding coins in your palm and performing various tricks, then you can invent ways of substitution yourself.

The good news about coin tricks is that you can perform them almost anywhere and you can easily find props (look behind the couch). There's no need for much preparation or explanation, so with just a little training you'll be able to quickly add a dose of fun mischief to everyday events. All magicians must have sleight of hand. Practice it well and you can show it anytime, anywhere.

2. Fold the bottom edge of the paper over the coin, leaving a difference of six millimeters between the two edges of the paper.

3. Fold the right edge of the paper back behind the coin.

4. Fold the left one back behind the coin.

5. Make the last fold by folding the top one back behind the coin. The coin appears to be completely wrapped up, but in fact the top edge is still exposed.

6. Now you turn the envelope over so that the open side allows the coin to slip into your palm, where it remains, while you “prove” to the audience the disappearance of the coin by tearing it apart.

Master of Illusion

Even though you need to carry a lot of coins, you don't actually use any! Your viewers will think that you are throwing a coin from one hand to another, but this is an illusion!

1. Act out a scene, taking a handful of coins out of your pocket - let the audience see that the coins are real. Pick one coin and pretend to pick it up - you'll need to practice this! Put all the coins back in your pocket.

2. Toss an imaginary coin back and forth from one hand to the other, making a soft slap as you pretend to catch the coin each time. Practice with a real coin so that you get a reliable sound. If you relax your fingers and slap them on the bottom of your palm while you “catch” the coin, you should get the right sound.

3. Do this a few times, then stop and pretend to hold an imaginary coin in one of your hands. Ask the audience to guess how it landed: “Heads or tails?” Of course, when you open your hand, the coin won't be there. This is good because the audience will think that it is in your other hand.

4. Slowly open your other hand to show that there is no coin in it either - and bow to the applause of the audience.

Sergey Kulikov, aka Sailor, was in touch with you!

Do you want your children to enjoy school? Experiments for children will help you fall in love with physics and chemistry. From the article you will learn about tricks and their secrets.

The content of the article:

A child will be able to feel like a real illusionist if he learns to perform tricks with coins, water, oil and other auxiliary materials. The secrets of these miracles are quite simple. They are based on the laws of physics and chemistry. By telling and showing your child how to do spectacular performances, you will help him become the life of the party among his peers and better master school subjects.

Water tricks

If you want it to turn into ice right before your eyes, even on a hot day, then pour water into a plastic bottle and put it in the freezer. The liquid should cool well, but not have time to freeze. Monitor the water periodically, as soon as it is close to freezing, remove it.

It is optimal to put the liquid in containers in the freezer for 1.5 hours, setting the temperature to -18°C.

Here's what you'll need to do these tricks with water:

• 4 glasses;
• sugar;
• tea spoon;
• water;
• paints;
• large transparent wine glass.

The secret of the trick is that the more sugar in the liquid, the denser the solution becomes, and the lower it sinks.

The next trick with water is done quickly and easily. For it you will need only 3 components:

• transparent plastic bottle;
• water;
• small packet of ketchup.

This trick will help your child become interested in chemistry. After all, this science explains that water does not flow out because the deformed molecules of the bag create a kind of seal, sealing the area between it and the pencil.

You can pierce the bag with more than one pencil, or use long nails instead.

Coin tricks

Some of them also used water. Surprise your child by saying that you have a magic jar that increases money. Pour water into it and throw a coin. Then cover the neck with a napkin and move your hand over it, casting a spell. Remove the napkin and ask your child to look through the top of the jar. He will see that there is more money.

Other tricks with a coin are no less interesting. Place the following items on the table:

• plate;
• paper;
• matches or lighter;
• a glass that is one-third or one-quarter filled with water;
• dry glass;
• coin

If the crowd doesn't know how to do these tricks with coins, amaze them. Crumple the paper, place it in a glass and set it on fire.

Coin tricks can turn into real performances. To arrange one of them, you will need:

• Matchbox;
• map;
• two completely identical coins;
• glass of water;
• cocktail straw;
• magnet.

Now say any spell, while saying that you are turning the coin into water. To do this, take a little water from a straw into your mouth, and then put the coin, which supposedly turned from water into money, on the back of your hand and show it to those present. Show those gathered that the coin is not in the old place. Remove the box of matches from the card and pick it up. Apart from three matches there will be nothing there, including money.

Even before the trick begins, you need to put the coin in your mouth by the cheek and hold it with your tongue.

It is better to take a large amount of money so as not to accidentally swallow it. With this part of the trick you need to be extremely careful so that the coin lying in your mouth does not lead to disaster.

When you pretend that you turned the coin into water and drank it, take the money out from behind your cheek and demonstrate to others that the money, supposedly in a liquid state, rose up the straw and ended up in your mouth. Next, lift the box of matches along with the card, holding it. Demonstrate to the audience that in the Bermuda Triangle the matchstick coin disappeared.
