Easy Magic Tricks Anyone Can Do
now
we are at the probably coolest part of
this
i mean i have to say so because it’s
myself i’m going to be teaching you some
magic so i do hope you are ready for
this
so i am currently just preparing myself
mentally and what you want to do if
you’re sitting at home i want you to
stretch just a little we’re about to go
on a break quite soon
stretch a little i’m going to teach you
the trick that i showed pal just moments
ago
so you hold out one finger like this the
other one like this and then you just in
one two and three make it jump
and this is much harder than it seems
but if you find yourself not really
knowing what to do
you can try this one it’s much easier so
you just hold like this and like this
you go behind your head and when you
come back you’re stuck
no you just blow and it’s gone or if
you’re sitting down you can hold out
your hands like this so you have your
palms to the floor
turn them in like that so you have the
back of your hands together one hand
over the other and you just
squeeze your fingers together make sure
you’re very very high up and then in one
two and three make your thumbs go back
on top
no question so far perfect all right i’m
going to teach you a couple of tricks
that you can do
either in front of a real audience in
front of your friends you can do it
online you can do it you know on a
virtual conference just like this one or
you know on a virtual christmas i guess
so you’re gonna need a couple of things
you’re gonna need two pieces of paper
preferably the same size and you’re
gonna need a pen
and we’re gonna use this as a wand i
brought two different ones and they’re
ones maybe i should say because there’s
a very good reason for this you see
this pen right here this is a pen that
has
like a little extra tap thing on the
side this is important for me
because i’m gonna use this in my hair
later on so stick around for that
and then this is a normal let’s call it
a normal pen with nothing extra
and we’re going to start with that one
actually so take one of your papers when
you have or maybe you have a coin
just crumble it in to make it into a
tiny ball
so let’s use the first one we take this
in our hand like this
we need the wand and in one two
three it vanishes and it’s never
completely gone actually it’s inside the
cap just like
that we can get it back no question so
far
good i’m not taking any questions
actually on this part so might as well
skip them for later
so we take the other one as well so now
we’re gonna have
two pieces of paper equally sized
in balls like this and we’re gonna count
to ten so be with me now saying
one two three four five six and in seven
we take one of them
in one hand eight and in nine this one
becomes invisible jumps and lands with
this friend
over here all right now let’s use the
pen that i was talking about before
and let’s make this paper ball vanish so
that would be in
one two
three no wait the pen is gone i’m just
kidding
it’s here in my hair somewhere okay
let’s do it again okay now i know you
know why you need this one okay same one
two and wait
where’s the paper ball okay so now i’m
going to teach you how to do that
this is using something that magicians
have been using forever
okay this is called misdirection and
some
part of being mr really good at
misdirection is to know
that whatever goes up and forward covers
what is going
down and back okay so take a look at
this so i’m holding the piece
down and i have the pen up so as i go
one this motion up here is going to
cover whatever is
happening down here so as i come up here
and leave the pen
i just drop it behind my ear back here
and as i come back i realize
acting i realize that it’s gone and i
just
what and when i take this hand down
remember
going down is better than going up well
you know well
whatever i said before is better so you
go up and you turn around
and as you’re up here your audience’s
eyes is going to be up here
so as you grab it you have all the time
in the world
to just take the coin or paper ball and
just drop it in your hand
now you can either come back with the
hand closed and just tap
it or do whatever i did i dropped it
came back and i was like oh
where did it go that’s all up to you and
then if you have it in your pocket just
like this you can just you know
move on with your day and then a minute
later you just go into your pocket relax
and then as you have it here in your
hand you just go in behind someone’s ear
and you make it come back and you’re
gonna make
you know everyone just you know if there
was an emoji for what i do
it would be the one all right so
let’s go back to the first trick that we
did we had the two balls
and we started off with just the one
so you want to find a position in your
hand where you can
comfortably just bend in your fingers
slightly
so you bend them in like this and make
sure
that the ball or coin does not fall down
so for me the perfect spot is right here
between this knuckle here
so i have it here and i turn it around
what’s important here is the timing so
as you hold the coin or the ball
and come here you close this hand right
away now you see what i do here
i come here here this one goes up this
one goes forward this one goes down
okay so i’m here here here and i grab my
wand
pretend that it’s gone from here and
then i have the ball
still here i repurpose my pen so i have
the opening of the pen so i have the cap
up here
i just open the cap firmly and then in
one
two three i just let go of the ball or
the coin or whatever it is
it’s a pure miracle i’m telling you
now let’s move on one of my favorite
things
in life except for coffee in the morning
is playing cards i have designed playing
cards for the past five years and
produced 11 different decks on the
market and i think that one
one thing that most people have to know
when it comes to magic tricks
with cards is to know something called
the key card
the key card is basically you knowing
the position of only one card and that
card is gonna help you with whatever
card
someone else has picked let’s do it
simple here so i’m gonna peek the bottom
card
i have the eight of hearts on the bottom
i do that
either with taking the deck like this
and
shuffling it down making sure that i
shuffle down the eight first
that right there is a classic riffle
shuffle for those of you who are super
geeky like me
i know exactly where the card is so
someone else picks a card
let’s say they take this one they
remember the card
six of clubs now you place them
the card on the top of the deck you cut
the deck so you take half of the pack
put it on the table and then you put the
bottom pile
on top which means you’re gonna have
your eight of hearts
right next to the selected card at this
point you as the magician have no idea
what the card is
then you take the cards you can either
you do you know like a sh
what is it called false shuffle or you
can do like a cut or whatever it is that
you want
you can you know show off some muscle
like that and then you just spread the
cards out on the table
as you look through the cards you are
currently looking for your eight of
hearts your key card
and you go through the cards and as you
look at the table
you’re gonna see the cards going to be
like
this so you’re going to have their card
on top of
ours okay so this is in the pile
so you just go through the cards take a
look and then you close it up
and leave it and you ask them to think
of their card maybe you ask them to
repeat the card out loud in their mind
and
you can do something funny like also
think of your cards oh
think like this six of clubs six of
clubs six of clubs and it’s gonna take a
second for them to realize that you you
know read their mind
or you could just go okay is your card
red or black don’t tell me
it’s black isn’t it and they go oh yeah
that’s interesting 50 50.
and then you go is it clubs or sp it’s
clubs
okay okay it’s not super high is it it’s
like four five
six six of clubs interesting so there
you have
virtual like virtually no uh like a
million different ways to do
uh one of the simplest and yet super
duper effective
magic tricks
