Easy Magic Tricks for Kids

One of the best things to have at a birthday party is a magic show! What better way is there to throw a party than by enthralling kids with some optical illusions? And better still, if the magician performing these wonderfully spellbinding tricks before them is a kid himself, then the fun factor increases tenfold! So given below are some fun and easy magic tricks for kids to perform, which any child will be able to master in no time!

Vanishing Coin
A simple trick for which you will need only a coin. You can sit at a table and ask for anyone from the audience to hand you a coin. Then, rub the coin on your left elbow. Act like it hurts you and drop it on the table. Then, pick up the coin with your right hand and pretend to place the coin in the left hand. Now, put your right hand, which is holding the coin, up your ear and rub your left hand (which is supposedly holding the coin according to the audience) on your elbow. Slyly drop the coin down the back of your shirt and display your empty hands to your audience.

Arm That Goes 360º
To perform this trick, you will need to wear a thick sweater or shirt. Then, before the audience arrives, stand up behind the table and place your palms on the table. Point your right hand towards your left hand while placing them on the table. Then, turn your left hand counterclockwise in one full circle until your fingers are facing your right hand again. It may seem a bit difficult, but it's not that tough. Then, once the audience sits down, tell them that you will be turning your hand in a circle. Then, watch everyone gawk and scream in pain as your hand completes a full spin.

Find the Card
Use a normal deck of fifty-two cards for this trick. Before starting this trick, just see what card is present at the end of the deck. Then, show the card at the bottom of the pack to the audience and ask them to memorize it. Now, shuffle all the cards except for the one at the bottom. Then, as your last step while shuffling, shuffle the card at the bottom and cut the deck at its level. Show the card by cutting the deck at this level and watch your audience recoil in shock!

Just for Laughs
All right, this is a cheap trick which is more likely to get laughs rather than awe struck reactions. Take a deck of cards and shuffle them well. (you can shuffle them like an expert by throwing them halfway all over the place for added effect). Then, ask anyone to pick a card and say loudly "When you jump up and down ten times while counting to ten, your card will appear on my arm." You can make the person do anything you want really, as long as it adds to lightening the mood. Then, dramatically pull up your sleeve and show them your arm which has 'YOUR CARD' written in bold letters and watch them double up in laughter! Of course, ensure that you have the words 'your card' painted on your arm before you begin with your magic show.

So, these were some magic tricks revealed in all of their glory. All these magic tricks are easy to learn and are sure to be a huge hit at any party!
