The room in which the celebration will take place is decorated with bouquets of flowers, balloons, posters with congratulations, and garlands. You can make a wall newspaper for the birthday boy in advance. Preparations are carried out in secret from him.

When the guests sit down at the table, they are asked to take turns writing a few lines of congratulations to the birthday person. At the same time, each guest wraps up a piece of paper with written congratulations so that the next participant can only see the end of the phrase. Then they unfold the sheet and read out what happened.

Search for postcards

You need to write an original congratulation on a large card on behalf of the entire company, then cut the card into 20-30 pieces. Pieces of the postcard should be laid out in different places in the room and attached to the guests’ clothes. The birthday boy must find all the pieces during the evening and assemble a congratulation from them.

"Portrait of the hero of the occasion"

Those present are invited to take part in the competition. Participants are divided into two teams. Each team receives markers and a piece of paper. The teams' task is to draw a portrait of the birthday person. In this case, each blindfolded player draws some part of the face: mouth, nose, left eye, right eye, etc. The birthday boy can take part in the game or act as a judge when choosing the winning team.

Mind Reading

The host asks one or more guests to think of a number from 2 to 10. The number must be multiplied by 9, and then add the digits of the resulting number and subtract 4 from the result. After this, the host asks to find a letter that has the same serial number in the alphabet as and the resulting number, as well as name the country whose name begins with this letter. Then you need to remember the animal whose name begins with the third letter of the name of this country.

For any initial number, the result should be “5”, which corresponds to the letter “d”. Most likely, the intended country will be Denmark, and the animal will be a rhinoceros. The presenter may ask a stunning poll: “Are there rhinoceroses in Denmark?” or for each participant, write the name of the animal on a piece of paper and ask those whose animal was guessed to stand.

Telekinesis

To conduct the experiment, you need to take a new banknote. The presenter places it on his palm and, using the “power of thought,” begins to roll it up. In fact, the edges of the bill bend for almost any person.

Reading sealed letters

The presenter states that he can read the question written on a piece of paper sealed in an envelope without opening the envelope. The facilitator's assistant distributes identical envelopes and pieces of paper to the participants. Participants write down short questions and place the sheets of paper in envelopes. The assistant then collects the sheets of paper on a tray and takes them to the leader.

From the outside, the spectacle looks something like this. The “telepath” takes the envelope, places it on his stand and says: “People ask me what the weather will be like tomorrow morning. Although I haven’t heard the weather report, I think it will be sunny and clear, unless, of course, it rains...” Then he opens the envelope and reads out the question: “What will the weather be like tomorrow morning?” The host asks the audience if there was such a question, and receives confirmation from one of the guests. During the session, the presenter “guesses” the contents of all envelopes. When all the envelopes are opened, guests are convinced that their contents are guessed correctly.

In order for the trick to be successful, the presenter must agree on one issue with one of the participants and with the assistant. It is necessary that the envelope with this question be placed on the tray first. When the presenter receives the envelopes, he announces the contents of the envelope below, and not the envelope taken from above, then receiving confirmation from the participant with whom he agreed. When the presenter “to check” opens the envelope lying on top, he finds out what question he is actually being asked.

Tricks are real miracles. Well, or dexterity and dexterity, approaching the miraculous. In the end, at the age at which a child realizes that a trick is just a joke and practiced movements, he will already learn these same tricks himself. Until this moment, you can evoke a lot of bright and lively emotions in your baby by demonstrating several spectacular tricks.

Take a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Paint the inside of the lid with red watercolor paint.
Pour water into the jar and screw the lid on. During the demonstration, do not turn the jar towards small spectators so that the inside of the lid is visible.
Say the spell loudly: “Just like in the fairy tale, make the water red.” With these words, shake the jar of water.
The water will wash away the watercolor layer of paint and turn red.

Place a few coins on the table.
Let one of the kids choose a coin. Announce that you will find the selected coin among others.
Then ask the child to squeeze it in his fist, and bring the fist to his forehead, explaining that you need to think about this coin.
Stand like this for about a minute, you can even whisper something with a mysterious look.
Then ask your child to throw a coin on the table and mix it with the rest.
Then, focusing on the warm metal of the coin, you can easily find it and present it to the audience.

Shuffle the deck of cards and fan them out face down. Invite someone from the audience to choose one card and remember it.
Then take this card and, without looking, place it on the newly assembled deck.
Divide the deck in two and, quietly peeking at the lowest card, shift the removed half of the deck, thus placing the selected card in the middle.
Then turn the deck over and calmly go through the cards to the one you remembered when you removed half.
The card the child has wished for will be located in front of this card. Take it and show it to the public.

Take a small transparent glass filled with water.
Cover it with a card on top, press it tightly and, saying some “sim-salabim”, sharply but carefully turn the glass over with the card down.
Water will not spill out of the glass when held by the card.
The trick will surprise children who have not yet started studying physics.

Write notes in advance with the text “I knew yesterday that you would wish for 1.” Change the last digit to 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Place the five notes written in this way in different secluded corners of the room: on the closet, under the pillow, in the chest of drawers, etc.
During the trick, ask one of the children to think of a number from 1 to 5. Then ask what number it was.
After the baby answers, show him where the note with the hidden number is.
The effect of prediction is obtained.

This simple trick is based on a problem with one unknown. Your viewers should already be able to count.
Ask someone in the audience to guess a number from 1 to 10.
Then, together with the person who made the wish, begin to calculate.
Ask him to add 5 to the hidden number (x + 5 = x and 5). Then subtract 1 (x and 5 – 1 = x and 4).
Then add 2 (x and 4 + 2 = x and 6), subtract 4 (x and 6 – 4 = x and 2), subtract 2 (x and 2 – 2 = x).
Then add 10 (x+10 = x and 10).
Ask to subtract the hidden number from the resulting amount (x and 10 – x = 10).
After this, knowing that the result is 10, ask him to add or subtract something several more times, counting in his head in parallel with the child, and at the end announce the resulting amount.

For this trick you will need a strong rope tied in a ring knot.
Grasp the opposite ends of the ring with both hands and show the audience that the rope is strong and tied tightly.
Then throw the rope around your neck, continuing to hold the opposite ends of the tied ring with your hands.
Bring your hands close to each other with the loops clamped, as if pulling on a rope.
Count to three. Just on the count of two, do not forget to quietly intercept the left loop with your right finger, just next to the fingers of your left hand, and on the last count, sharply pull the rope forward, as if passing it through your neck.
The rope will very quickly go around you to the left and end up in front of you. To your audience sitting opposite you, it will seem as if a rope has passed through your neck.

Take two identical coins and a thick glass glass.
Place one coin discreetly between the fingers of your right hand. With your right hand, take the glass so that your palm covers it from above, like a lid.
With your left hand, take the second coin and announce to the audience that you are about to drive it into the glass through the bottom.
Then place the coin in the palm of your left hand and count to three, each time “driving” the coin through the bottom into the glass.
On the count of three, hit especially hard and simply release the hidden coin held in your right hand. It will fall loudly into the glass and attract the attention of the audience.
At this time, deftly and quietly remove the demonstration coin in your left hand.

For this trick you will need two beautiful multi-colored scarves and trousers with pockets.
Put on your trousers and tuck your scarves compactly into the far upper corner of your trouser pocket.
During the trick, show the children empty hands. You can even roll up your sleeves to the elbows, as if demonstrating that there is no catch.
Then turn your trouser pockets inside out and show them that they are completely empty.
Then return the pockets to their normal position and, removing your hands, hook the scarves from the fold formed while turning the pockets inside out.
Show them to the audience and smile slyly.

Take a hard-boiled peeled egg and a glass carafe. The neck of the decanter should not be very narrow, but also not so narrow that the egg would easily fit into it.
Have a child push the egg into the carafe without damaging either one.
When they get desperate, take a few matches, light them and throw them into the carafe. After they have burned, cover the neck of the decanter with the egg like a cork.
The egg will gradually “crawl” into it, stretching out under the influence of vacuum.

Take a glass half filled with rice. Press a large walnut into the center to the bottom.
Invite the children to touch the nut without touching the rice.
After their fruitless attempts, take the glass in your left hand and start gently tapping it with your right. As a result, the small rice will begin to move and in a minute will push the large walnut to the top.
It will now be much easier to touch it with your finger.

Children love to perform magic tricks and surprise us adults. This is not only interesting, but also useful, develops the child’s logic and thinking, develops dexterity, intelligence, memory, and ingenuity. And how children love applause! Here are how many interesting tricks were found - all of them are within the power of children:

1. Magic wand: glue a cylinder out of paper and decorate it as a magic wand. Fill one part inside with serpentine, the other with confetti, now the baby turns into a wizard. In front of everyone, he wraps the stick in newspaper and shakes it. Confetti sprinkles from the package, then he turns the newspaper over and takes out a streamer. After this, you need to crumple the newspaper together with the stick.

2. Match in balance: the child places an ordinary match on his index finger, holding it on top with his thumb. Removes his thumb. The match remains in a vertical position.
SECRET: you need to wet your fingers a little, press the match harder with your thumb to your index finger. When the child carefully removes his thumb, the match, with its lower end glued to the index finger, will maintain balance for some time.

3. LIVING water: on a blank piece of paper, the child draws the outline of a flower with a simple pencil, then waters it with water. And then the plant gradually blooms (becomes colorful).
SECRET: take white paper and place a cardboard stencil of a flower on it. Fill the entire volume of the flower with bright red aniline powder, temporarily covering the rest of it. Cover the leaf and stem with green aniline powder. Without removing the stencil, carefully blow everything off the paper. In places where there was powder, tiny particles of paint will remain unnoticeable. On the back side of the sheet, where the child will later draw a flower, mark the outline with barely noticeable dots. When showing, water should be poured slowly, from the side of the stem. The water will make the paper wet, and the paint through it will gradually color the flower!

4. Water is a deceiver: if you place a transparent glass on a large copper coin, then the coin will be clearly visible through its walls. Pour water into a glass - the coin will “disappear” (of course, if you don’t look into the glass from above). Based on this optical effect, you can come up with a number. Take a coin and glue it to the bottom of the glass in advance. The child shows the audience a glass of water. There's nothing in it. Lower the glass down and hold it so that the audience looks at it from above - a coin appears in the glass!

5. Obedient newspaper: our young magician announces that he can make the newspaper stand upright.
SECRET: Unfold a whole newspaper and grab it by opposite corners - with one hand from above and the other from below. After this, stretch the newspaper so that a fold forms in the center.

6. Obedient button: Pour soda into a glass. The young magician takes a small button and drops it into a glass. The button will be at the bottom. Immediately or a little later, he moves his hand over the glass and says: “Button, come to me!” The button slowly rises up. He passes his hand over the glass again and says: “Button down!” She will obediently lower herself.
SECRET: when the button is at the bottom of the glass, gas bubbles collect around it and when there are a lot of them, they will lift the button. Then the bubbles will disappear and the button will fall back down. This movement will continue as long as carbon dioxide is released. But practice first, calculate the time before commanding the button “up” or “down”.

7. Glowing ball: the young sorcerer shows a tennis ball, count to 3 and light appears inside the ball. The light is moving! Achieving this effect is very simple.
SECRET: there should be a light source three meters from the ball. And in the ball there is a round hole with a diameter of up to 1 cm. When showing the ball, spectators need to cover the hole with their finger. Counting to three, turn the hole towards the light bulb, and, removing your finger, open it. It seems that light appears in the ball. And for it to move, you need to move the ball up and down, left and right, without turning it.

8. Through the table: a child sits at a table covered with a tablecloth. The audience is on the other side of the table. There is a glass on the table. The kid covers it with a sheet of foil and presses it on all sides so that it turns out something like a case. Then he moves the case with the glass towards himself, showing the audience that there are no holes in the table, and returns it to its original place. After this, he hits the foil with his palm - the foil crumples, and from under the table comes the sound of a glass falling on the floor.
SECRET: after moving the case with the glass to the edge of the table, the child drops the glass onto his lap. Then he hits the empty foil with his palm and at the same time allows the glass to fall to the floor.

9. Paper will bear anything: the child puts two glasses on the table, puts a sheet of paper on them and asks: “If you put a third glass on top, will the sheet of paper withstand its weight?” Everyone will say no. Then you need to fold a sheet of paper like an accordion. Now you can safely place a glass on it.

10. “I knew that you would guess this number!”: the child suggests guessing a number from 1 to 5. He asks what number was guessed. The spectator admits that he wished for, for example, 3. The magician asks to go to the piano on which the card lies and turn it over (the number 3 is written on it). Next, the number of the next viewer is guessed, etc.
SECRET: you need to write cards with numbers in advance and hide them in different places. The most important thing is to remember where the card with which number is located.

11. What no one has seen: the child says to the audience, “Do you want to see something that none of you have ever seen before and that neither you nor I will ever see?” Then he calmly takes a nut out of his pocket, frees it from the shell (pre-cracked), gives everyone the opportunity to look at the kernel of the nut (no one has really ever seen this kernel) and then just as calmly eats this kernel (no one really will ever see it).

12. Independent box: having pulled the matchbox halfway out of the case, the child shows it to the audience. Turns the box with the hole facing down. Now the box appeared on the other side of the case, but again with the opening facing up. It's as if it hadn't been turned over! You can repeat it again - the effect is the same. SECRET: cut the boxes into 2 equal parts. Turn one of them upside down and the other upside down. In this position, glue both parts with a thin strip of paper (this will not be visible in the case).

13. Instant transformation of an orange into an apple: the young wizard shows everyone the orange, covers it with a bright scarf, casts magic spells, pulls off the scarf, and there is already an apple on his palm!
SECRET: Carefully remove the peel from the orange in advance. Then place an apple (it should be slightly smaller than an orange) into this peel. When showing, the child, tightly holding an apple in an orange peel, shows everyone what he has in his hand. Then, with a deft movement, he removes the scarf from the apple along with the peel.

14. Paper and paper clip: the child shows the audience a piece of paper with a paper clip attached to it. Asks the audience to remove the paperclip without touching it. Nothing will work if there is no ingenuity. And it's easy to do. You need to fold the sheet in half in advance, and put a paper clip on the bend. If you then stretch the ends of the sheet to the sides, the paper itself will release the paper clip.

15. Trick with a mug and ice: the child pours some water into a mug. Then he says a few magic words and turns it over, only instead of water a piece of ice falls out of the mug.
SECRET: you will need a tall opaque glass, a thick sponge (sponge) and a piece of ice, a jug from which to pour water. Place the sponge in the mug in advance, make sure it holds securely and does not fall out. Place a piece of ice on top of the sponge and you can perform the trick. Pour some water into a mug. Of course, you should experiment in advance with the amount of water that the sponge can absorb - the more, the more effective the trick. Just not too much, otherwise a lot of “unfrozen” water will pour out along with the ice. Having said the magic word and turning the mug over, after a piece of ice falls out instead of water, you need to try to quickly hide the mug with the sponge.

16. Rising Pencil: The magician places a pencil in a vase - and, following the commands of the young magician, the pencil slowly rises and falls inside the vase.
SECRET: the pencil moves with the help of a thin, invisible thread. Prepare a very thin nylon thread and tie and glue it to one end of the pencil. Tie the other end of the thread to a button on the magician's clothing. Place the end of the pencil with the tied thread into the vase. As the magician moves away or approaches the vase, he pulls the thread, causing the pencil inside the vase to move."

Magic rope

The magician takes a thin rope approximately 50 cm long. He cuts a 10 cm long piece from it and, folding it in half, hides it in the fist of his left hand. After which it’s time to go out in public.
When going out into public view, you need to hold a long rope with your right hand by the middle so that its ends hang down. A long rope is placed in the left hand and pressed with the thumb. At the same time, the audience must be in the dark about the fact that there is a piece of rope in the magician’s fist. Therefore, they should only see the outer side of the performer's left hand. By the way, the short piece of rope needs to be held with the thumb of your left hand.
Now a loop is pulled out from the hidden piece of rope with your right hand. Naive viewers will think that this is still the same long rope. The loop is cut with scissors and its cut ends are shown to the audience. Then, with the index finger of the right hand, these scraps are pushed into the left fist. A magic spell is pronounced, something like “Abra-mop-kadabra”, and then, holding the rope with both hands, the magician spreads them as wide as possible - as far as the length of his arms and the length of the rope will allow. In general, it will seem to the audience that the rope is intact.

Telepathy

To convince gullible guests of your telepathic abilities, you need to start guessing their thoughts.
One of the simplest ways is to place twelve matches in a row on the table. The first nine need to be numbered by writing numbers on them, or simply put a piece of paper with a number next to each match.
After this, the audience is invited to make one of the posted matches, and the presenter chooses any number, for example seventeen.
And while the audience is thinking, he must calculate which match accounts for this number. That is, continue counting after the ninth match, and when the matches end, start from the first. Thus, the number seventeen will fall on the fifth match.
Now the presenter can ask the audience to count the matches in the same way, starting from the one that corresponds to the number they have in mind up to seventeen, and at the same time he can turn away. Then the presenter loudly declares that the number seventeen falls on the fifth match.

Magic balls

This trick is not difficult, but it requires rehearsal, just like all the others. In order to demonstrate this miracle to amazed spectators, you will need an assistant. And besides that, there are not too big balls.
The assistant faces the audience, holding a plate of balls in his hands. The magician stands next to him and strokes his head.
At this time, a ball appears from the assistant’s mouth. The magician takes this ball and places it on a plate. Then he stands on the other side of his assistant and strokes his head again. Another ball appears...
This is repeated until a certain number of balls appear. At the same time, the assistant must diligently pretend that each appearance of the ball is given to him with great difficulty.
Well, the secret of this trick is as follows. The assistant puts one ball in his mouth, and the magician hides the rest of the balls in his pockets. When they appear before the audience, the assistant already has a ball in his mouth, and the magician quietly pulls out another one from his pocket and holds it in his right hand. Then he strokes the assistant’s head with his left hand, and when a ball appears from his mouth, he immediately raises his right hand, as if to take it. The ball that appeared from the assistant's mouth is pushed back by the magician's hand, and the audience is shown the ball that was held in the hand. Then it is placed on the plate, and the magician, standing on the other side, holds the second ball in his left hand. In this case, he will stroke the assistant’s head with his right hand, and raise his left hand to his mouth to accept the ball. According to this principle, all other balls appear.

Magic ring

To reproduce this trick, you will need a very ordinary glass goblet and a handkerchief. In addition, you will need two identical rings. Moreover, the viewer should have one ring, and the magician should have the other. It is best to use wedding rings, since then the audience will not guess about the substitution. And the substitution consists in replacing the spectator's ring with the magician's ring. But first things first.
A magician's ring is tied to the middle of the scarf on a silk thread approximately 10 cm long. Then they take his ring from the viewer.
Holding the handkerchief by the corners, the magician carefully shakes it, while turning towards himself the side of the handkerchief in which the tied ring is located. Then he wraps the occupied ring (actually the one that is suspended on a rope) in a scarf and invites one of the spectators to take the ring through the scarf, while holding it as tightly as possible. The place where the focus is performed should be slightly darkened.
The owner of the ring holds it tightly and at the same time is in full confidence that this is his thing. The folds of the scarf hang down. The magician places the glass on the table and asks the owner of the ring to hold his hand over the glass, around which he places the folds of the scarf. Then the magician releases the ring, and it falls into the glass, clinking picturesquely.
The magician takes the hat in the same hand that holds the real ring. The tips of his fingers are inside the hat, and the ring is clamped between them. This way he can safely show that the hat is empty. After that, he puts the hat under the table, and the released ring ends up in it. Now everything is quite simple. The magician takes the extreme corner of the scarf, says: “Krible-krable-booms”, throws away the scarf and takes out a hat with a ring, which is safely returned to the owner.

The smell of a coin

You need to identify the coin that you held in your hands for a few seconds before.
For this trick, one of the spectators is selected as an assistant. You will need several metal coins of any denomination and a saucer. The magician invites his assistant to choose one of the coins and explains to him that after he himself goes into the next room, he must take this coin and rub it in his palms for 30 seconds to “awaken” the smell.
After this coin, along with the others, has been placed back on the saucer, the magician quickly enters the room. Taking the saucer in his hands, he carefully sniffs all the coins and, of course, finds the right one.
The secret of this trick is very simple. While the coin is rubbed between your palms, it heats up. So there are cold coins and one warm coin in the saucer. When the magician sniffs the coins, he quietly touches them with the tip of his nose and finds it.
To repeat the trick, you will have to wait for the coin to cool down again. And it’s better not to perform this trick in very hot weather - you could make a mistake.

Card miracle

Any card is taken and placed on top of the deck. Then the deck is turned over in your hands with the picture facing up. The selected card will be at the bottom of the deck. You need to hold the cards so that your thumb is above the deck and the rest of your fingers are below. Under the deck, your fingers should protrude about 3 cm, and your thumb should hold the cards at a distance of 1.5 cm from their edge.
Now the presenter asks one of the spectators to click the cards with their index finger downward, which will cause all the cards to fly out of the hand, except for the bottom one, which the presenter will hold with his finger. You can even wet your bottom fingers to help the card stick to them better. In general, it will remain and face down. Then, with a significant look, he will be able to name her.

Great mathematician

Numbers from 1 to 9 are written on a piece of paper. Then one of the guests is invited to guess three numbers, but so that they come in order. After he does this, let him add them up and name the resulting amount. For example, if he chose 4, 5, 6, then the sum in this case will be equal to 15. When the sum is named, the presenter will immediately name the intended numbers.
To do this trick, you need some math skills. Of course, you won’t have to calculate sines and cosines in your head, but mental calculation skills will come in handy. When the amount is named, you need to quickly divide it by 3 (that is, by the number of hidden numbers). In this case it will be five.
Now you should name, in addition to the resulting number, two more standing before and after it. That is, 4 and 6. The whole effect of this trick is in the speed with which the answer is given.

Magic handkerchief

To perform this trick, you will need a thin gauze scarf. Once the main props have been found, you can begin the trick itself. The candle is covered with a handkerchief and a burning match is placed on top. When the candle lights up, the leader moves the scarf in different directions. The candle continues to burn, but the handkerchief does not light up. The host puts out the candle and shows the astonished guests a completely intact scarf.
The whole secret of this trick lies in the special design of the candle. An ordinary round gas lighter is inserted into a tube made of thick white paper. When the lighter is turned on, the gas passes freely through the thin scarf. In order to prevent the scarf itself from catching fire, it is enough to constantly move it in one direction or the other.

Children sincerely believe in magic. That's why they love fairy tales, cartoons and, of course, magic tricks. Why not turn the birthday boy into a little wizard who can create miracles himself and surprise guests at his party. Have a “Little Wizard” themed birthday party.

Magic Hat Invitations

What attributes of a magician come to mind: a cloak, white gloves, multi-colored ribbons, cards and of course a top hat from which flowers, candies and even rabbits magically appear. This hat can be used as a basis for an invitation card. Invite the children for a creative evening and together with them make several invitations for the little wizard’s birthday.

To make a hat, prepare thick paper, cardboard, scissors, pencil, black gouache, tassels, bright narrow ribbon, glue, glitter and foil. Invite the children to paint the paper with black gouache and...

If the paint is not dry, ask your child to add some glitter. At this time, make a blank out of cardboard - the silhouette of a hat. When the paint is dry, attach the blank to the paper and outline the silhouette. You can invite the children to help you cut out hats from paper.

Turn the cut-out hat over with the paint side up and decorate it with a ribbon, gluing it to the place where the visual border between the brim and the cylinder of the hat should be. Get creative and add some foil stars, circles, butterflies, etc.

All that remains is to write about the time and place of the birthday, add a few wishes about choosing a gift and deliver the invitations to the recipient.

Magic show

Preparations for this birthday should begin early. For the beauty and reliability of the performance, it is worth conducting several rehearsals, demonstrating the finished tricks first to dad, and only then to the guests. After all, at the holiday the little magician will be present with excitement and embarrassment, which can affect the performance of the trick. And the more training there is, the less nervousness will affect the performance.

It’s worth making the little wizard a corresponding magician’s costume. For example, a bright cloak, a crown on your head, a shiny shirt or dress. Make a magic wand with your child. In such a costume, the child will be happy to greet guests and conjure many good wishes to everyone.

When all the guests have gathered, invite them into the room for a performance, where the most famous in the city, and the youngest magician in the country, will perform for them!

"Telepathy"

For the trick, you will need different objects from 4 to 10 pieces, depending on the age of the child and a leading assistant.

Place these items in a row in front of your guests. The magician goes out the door, and the assistant invites the guest to think of an object and show everyone what he thought of. The magician enters, examines all the guests and guesses the hidden object!

The secret is that the magician and his assistant agree in advance on invisible signs that will let the little wizard know which item in the row was wished for. These can be gestures or words. For example, you have agreed on gestures, then scratching your nose by an assistant means the first object, spreading your arms to the side means the second, twirling your hair around your finger means the third, etc. Or these could be key phrases: “Well, what subject are you planning?” – first subject; “Guess what they wished for!” - second; “This is a very difficult choice” - the third.

If you tie key gestures and words to the ordinal location of the object, then for the beauty of the trick, before each next exit of the magician out of the door, you can change the objects in places, but the result will not change!

"I'll guess the number!"

For the trick you will need blanks: leaves with inscriptions.

During the trick, the child asks the guest to think of a number from 1 to 5 and say it out loud. When the guest calls, for example, the number 2, the magician turns to an object in the room, makes passes with his hands, and then asks the guest to find a piece of paper under the object and read it. It says “You wished for the number “2”. That’s exactly what I guessed!”

The secret is that you prepare 5 pieces of paper for each number in advance. And you hide them under different objects in the room: a vase, a box, a book, etc. The child needs to remember where and with what number the piece of paper is hidden. When the guest names the hidden number, the magician “conjures” precisely over the object in which the note containing the number chosen by the guest is hidden. The focus is demonstrated only once.

"The Vanishing Coin"

Prepare a transparent glass, white paper, a coin and a large opaque scarf for the trick.

The magician places a coin on white paper and covers the glass that stands next to it on the paper, bottom up, with a beautiful scarf. He transfers the glass under the scarf to the coin, makes passes with his hands, pronounces the magic words and pulls off the scarf... The coin has disappeared! The magician covers the glass with a handkerchief, repeats the magic words, removes the glass from the place where the coin was and places it next to it. He takes off his handkerchief - the coin appears where it was!

The secret of the trick is that the glass has a nuance. You need to carefully stick a white circle to the rim of the glass; when the baby covers a coin with such a glass, it will end up between two papers, and from the outside it will seem that the glass is standing on the same paper, only there is no coin.
