One of the most attractive entertainments for children and adults is paper tricks. Many of us love to watch how experienced illusionists perform such tricks, but it would be much more interesting to independently prepare such a number and demonstrate it to others. Therefore, now we will consider what options are in this arsenal, and try to translate them into reality.
Simple tricks involving glass
First, we will consider tricks with paper, which will include such an element as a glass in our program. So, for the first trick we take an ordinary leaf and three glasses. Two of them are located on the table, paper is placed on them. The magician should offer the audience to install a third glass on this structure, that is, on paper. They wonβt succeed. As a result, he folds the sheet with an accordion and puts it back on the glasses, after which the third of them will perfectly hold on to such a structure.
The second trick is called Disappearing Glass, and for it we need this cutlery and a piece of thick paper. The wizard puts a glass on the table and wraps it with paper around the perimeter. Then it is necessary to move this design towards you in order to demonstrate to the audience that there are no holes in the table. At this moment, you quietly need to throw the glass to your lap and return the already empty paper inside to its place. Now the magician strikes the sheet with his fist, and it turns out that there is no glass inside.
Tricks with paper. Telepathy training
For this trick you will need pieces of paper of the same format, pens or pencils and one assistant who will be among the audience. Everyone should write on their leaflet the name of any animal and put it together. Then everything surrenders to the magician, and he, without unfolding the paper, calls the beast and asks the one who wrote this word to raise his hand. As a result, he must name all the words that are contained in the folded sheets.
The secret to this trick is that an assistant is sitting in the auditorium. In advance, he agrees with the magician about the animal that he will write, and his piece of paper is placed below. After this, the sorcerer must unfold the first sheet in order to allegedly establish himself in his innocence, but in fact he reads the name of the second animal and so on.
Full office equipment
These paper tricks can only be realized with an element such as paper clips. On one sheet, we take two of those and begin our trick. The paper is folded with a wide accordion in two bends, and each of them is fixed with one paper clip. After that, the sorcerer declares to the audience that he will be able to connect the paper clips together without touching them with his hands. After that, he takes on the tips of the paper, pulls them to the sides, as a result of the paper clip fly off, but remain stapled. The whole chip of this trick is that the sheet of paper needs to be folded as if in the English letter S. The paper clips need to be fixed at a distance of a centimeter from each other and in different planes, also with a small tongue up. As a result, they will adhere if you stretch the sheet over its edges in different directions.
How to do tricks with paper and other devices
This trick is designed for sleight of hand. For it, you need a piece of paper and a spoon (it can be replaced with a pencil, pen, and so on). Fold the sheet in half and put a spoon inside. Then we twist it with a tube and demonstrate to the audience that the subject is in the middle of it all. If you turn this tube back, it turns out that the spoon is not in the fold of the sheet, but on its surface.
Such tricks with paper need to be done quietly and quickly, and this is the secret. First, we unfold the bottom of the sheet, and then we put both parts together. Thus, the spoon is on top of the paper, and your fraud remains inaccessible to the eyes of unprepared viewers.
