Most kids are fascinated with magic tricks. Finding good magic trick kits for kids is pretty easy because most of the big discount stores carry them in the toy aisle. You can also find plenty of magic trick kits for kids online. But your child can also perform magic tricks by using items found around the house. These magic tricks are very easy to perform and can be set up at a moment's notice.
The first magic trick we will discuss is the empty matchbox trick. You need two matchboxes. one of them should be empty. Get a rubber band and attach the matchbox with the matches in it to the upper arm underneath a shirt sleeve. Now hold the empty matchbox in the same hand and shake it. Ask your friends to guess how many matches are in the matchbox and then when it is opened, the matchbox is empty. The matches that they hear rattling are the ones taped to your upper arm.
Another fairly easy magic trick for a child to perform is the disappearing coin trick. You will need a glass, two sheets of the same colored paper, a coin and a handkerchief. You place the glass upside down on one sheet of the colored paper. You then place a coin beside the glass. Put the handkerchief over the upturned glass and move it, glass and all, over the coin. Say the magic word and remove the handkerchief and presto the coin has disappeared!. The trick to this is to carefully cut a circle from the same colored paper the exact size of the rim of the glass. Tape this paper to the rim and when you move the glass over the coin the colored paper will conceal the coin.
Another good trick is the wine into water trick. For this you will need water, red food coloring and bleaching powder. This should only be performed with adult supervision! Pour some water into a glass and add red food coloring to make the water turn red like wine. Another glass will contain your "magic" powder. Now pour the red liquid into the other glass and it becomes clear water again!
A very easy trick is the rubber pencil trick. Hold the pencil loosely at the tip. Now shake your hand up and down. This will create the illusion of your pencil turning to rubber.
If your child wishes to become a magician or wants to perform magic tricks at his next party, let him practice some of these. Kids and magic tricks go together like peanut butter and jelly!
