An easy magic trick for beginners learning to do magic.

     Hello Readers, tired of trying to do card and coin tricks, maybe this could be a start. This is a fun and easy trick you can show to everyone. It’s pretty easy to do.

     The Trick and How to Do It

Have a friend to help you out at the beginning for this step. The trick goes easily as this: You show them you have three crayons (any color, but preferably blue, yellow, and red), act innocent and say that they are going to choose one out of the three without you looking and knowing what it is. Say something like “I’ll try my best to guess what it is.” Look like you don’t know what you’re doing, which in fact you will know. After that, you ask them to place it on your hand while you are looking away, then turn and face them with the crayon still behind your back. Guess what? You’re going to rub a little of it on the top of your thumb’s nail, just a little, though. Then turn your face away and say you don’t want it and give it back, and face them. Since the mark is on your nail you open your hand with the nail facing down, without them seeing it, and show them your palm, that you didn’t rub it on your palm. Now you gotta be smart for this one; you clench your fist and place your fist near your mouth, not to close to the eye, ok? then look at it and pretend you’re thinking. Look at the mark, and go”Eureka!” something like that and say what it is.

Warnings and Notes:

  • Only have the mark on somewhere where it’s not obvious like on your nails
  • Don’t make the mark to big.
  • Don’t always put your hand where it looks like you’re thinking, make up something else
  • Don’t present this to the same audience twice, or they will start to get suspicious.

I hope your friends and family enjoyed this trick!
