Free Magic Trick - Coin Clip

2008-02-26T23:11:00.001+08:00

Put a glass mouth upward on the table.
Carefully balance two coins opposite each other on the
rim of the glass.

Challenge your friends to take the 2 coins off the glass
at the same time but they must only use the thumb and
a finger from one hand to do it.
This will need a little more practise than other items I
have shown you.

Put the tip of your thumb gently on the center of one
coin and the tip of your middle finger on the center of
the other coin.

Gently press the coins and slide them down opposite
sides of the glass.

Keep pressure on the coins and, when they are about a
third of the way down, draw them toward you. As the
coins come off the glass, tighten your grip and drag
them away.

Free Magic Trick - Give Money Away

2008-02-26T23:07:00.000+08:00

Ask your friends to put all the twenty-cent coins they
have on the table with the side showing the year of
production downward.

Say you will give them ten cents for each of the twenty
cent coins where you get the date wrong! Does it sound
like they can’t lose?

They will as long as you make sure you get the dates
WRONG! That’s because your offer is that you will
exchange (give them) ten cents for each of their twenty
cents where you get the date wrong.

You make ten cents every time you "lose"!

Free Magic Trick - Coin Catch

2008-02-26T23:00:00.001+08:00

Show a glass, a coin and a straw.
Bend the straw in half, then put the glass mouth down
on a table and put the coin on top of the glass.
Offer the bent straw to a spectator and ask them to lift
the coin off the top of the glass using just the straw.
Don’t give them too long to work this out. But no matter
how long they have, your wager is safe. They cannot
win!

This is a "betcha" or "bar bet", not a trick. The straw is
only for taking their attention from your carefully chosen
words.

Whatever chicanery or skill your friends have, the result
will always be in your favour because the coin is on the
bottom of the glass, so no-one can meet your challenge
to remove it from the top!

Camel Coin

2008-02-26T22:52:00.001+08:00

Fold a sheet of paper from top to bottom and then fold it
left to right so that it is a quarter its original size
Unfold the paper, then cut a small hole where the
creases meet.

Show your friends the paper and a coin that is wider
than the hole in the center of the paper.
Ask them to push the coin through the hole without
tearing or cutting the paper?

You will be the only one who can do the deed.
The creases in the paper are only there to mislead your
spectators!

Put the coin on the table and hold the paper over it with
the hold right above the coin.

Push at the coin through the hole in the paper with the
tip of a finger or the point of the scissors.
You don’t have to make the coin travel through the hole
- you push (at) it through the hole!

With the right props you could push "a camel through
the eye of a needle" but you might upset the camel.

Free Trick Magic - How To Match Puzzle

2008-02-26T22:49:00.001+08:00

You lay 6 matches side by side in a row with their
heads nearest to the spectators.
Ask them can they move just 2 matches and leave
nothing?

This is simply a play on words. When they have tried,
you just take the third match and lay it diagonally
between the head of the first match and the other end
of the next match. This gives a fair representation of a
capital "N".

Leave the 4th match where it is ("I") but turn the 6th
match ninety degrees and lay it back down with its
head at the bottom of the 5th match ("L").

You have filled the conditions by moving only 2
matches and leaving nothing - NIL

It is okay if your friends groan, because you will almost
certainly hear of them pulling this stunt on other people.
If you are in the group where they do this, please play
along and pretend you do not know the puzzle. Part of
the Magician’s Code is to be a good spectator as well
as a good trickster.

Quit Knot

2008-02-26T22:45:00.001+08:00

Put a piece of cord about as long as the width of your
body on the table or bar in front of you.

Ask your friends if they can tie a knot in the cord
without letting go of the ends?

Let them try. Then fold your arms and bend down
grasping each end of the rope with the nearest hand.
As you straighten up, unfold your arms without letting
go of the ends of the rope. The knot is loosely formed.
If you win money from them with this old swindle,
quickly fold your arms again in case some sore loser
wants to massage your solar plexus!

Free magic trick-Follow the rules

2008-02-26T22:39:00.002+08:00

What if you don’t have ten coins for the previous trick?
This set-up might help you increase the number of
coins in your pocket fairly quickly!

You need 2 coins of the same value and a slightly
smaller coin. The relative value of the coins does not
Matter, just make sure two are the same size and one
is a bit smaller.

Set the coins on the table in a row with the smaller coin
in the center and all 3 coins touching.
You say,"These coins are Number One," point to the
first of the larger coins," Number Two," point to the
smaller coin in the center of the row," and Number
Three. I want you to put Number Three," point again to
the large coin which you named Number Three." In
between Number One and Number Two. But, please
follow the rules;

You cannot touch or shift Number One.

but you can
Touch and move Number Three."

You will probably have to keep a close eye on the
challengers because many will misunderstand the
rules, probably deliberately!

When you decide they have had enough time to work it
out, put one finger firmly on the center of the smaller
coin (you can touch but not move it).

Then use one finger of your other hand to draw
Number Three along the table until it is a couple of
inches away from the smaller coin. Now push it quickly
into Number Two which your other finger is holding in
place.

The force of the strike will travel through the smaller
coin and move the other large coin away.

You may have to do it a few times but you will get a
gap large enough for you to put your striker coin,
Number Three, between the other two.

It doesn’t matter if your blows move the other large
coin inches away from the smaller coin as long as it
doesn’t go off the table. You had to be able to put
Number Three between the other 2, they don’t have to
be still touching each other!

Odd and Even

2008-02-26T22:36:00.000+08:00

You show 10 similar coins and 3 glasses and challenge
your friends to sort all the coins among the glasses so
there are an odd number of coins in each glass!

Your friends will find this easy to do if you don’t spell
out the conditions clearly - all coins and all glasses
must be used.

It is really in how you say it. Put 4 coins in 1 glass and 3
coins in each of the others. Then, put one of the
glasses with 3 coins inside the glass that has 4 coins!
Now the glass which you put 4 coins in, has 7 coins in
it.

So all the glasses have an odd number of coins in
them!

Ten Coin Triangle

2008-02-26T22:32:00.001+08:00

You need to know someone rich enough to have ten
coins all of the same value for this bar bet.

Lay the coins in a triangle formation with four coins on
the bottom row, then three above them, two on the next
row and one at the top. Do it neatly, because it makes it
easier for your craftiness to be seen when your friends
fail to work this one out.

You ask them to flip the triangle end for end by just
moving three coins.

Let them try and it is possible that someone will work
this out, because unlike most of the other items I show
you, there is no trick to it - just clear thinking but that is
fairly rare anyway.

Take the coin at the top of the triangle and put it below
the bottom row of four at the center point of the row.

With this much information it is much easier to work out
the answer, and you may find someone reaching over
to try to finish it for you. Have them restrained because
this is your triumph - you did all the hard work!

Now, just take the coins from each end of the former
bottom row and put one at each end of the original row
of two. Your job is done and your reputation as a
mental marvel very slightly enhanced.

Sugar Stumper

2008-02-26T22:27:00.002+08:00

You need a straight-sided glass and two sugar lumps
that you will find many cafes and restaurants still
provide.

Put the thumb and first finger of one hand on each side
of the glass with your thumb pressing a sugar lump
against the side of the glass. Balance the other sugar
lump on top of the first.

The trick is to toss each lump, one at a time, up from
your thumb and catch them in the glass!
You will almost certainly need extra sugar lumps when
you ask your friends to try this.

Several are likely to be
smashed through accident or frustration.
The secret is that you toss the first lump up and catch it
in the glass.

For the second, more difficult part of the stunt, you lift
your thumb slightly off the lump, flick it up only very
lightly and then drop the glass below it!

When people try this without knowing the secret, they
use too much force to toss up the second sugar lump
and the first lump shoots out of the glass.

Free Drink

2008-02-26T22:23:00.000+08:00

This is a "bar bet" which can earn you and your partner
a free bottle of wine the next time you have dinner at a
restaurant with friends.

Being the fair-minded people everyone knows you are,
share it with the people who lose this bet to you!
With a partly empty bottle of wine on the table and all
glasses filled, you say that you can put the cork back in
the bottle and get a drink without re-opening the bottle!
Your friends have little chance to work out your method
unless they have seen it before.

If some have seen it in this book, they will play along
because they know you should be a good spectator
when you are not the wonder-worker.
And they will want to see the effect on your mutual
friends.

When the terms of the bet are agreed, you check that
the cork or stopper is firmly in place. Turn the bottle upside down and pour a little wine from your glass into
the depression in the base!
Just take a quick sip from it and you have won another
bet..

Waste of A Good Drink

2008-02-26T22:15:00.003+08:00

This is free magic you can try...

Show your friends a glass of any liquid with an icecube
floating in it and a piece of string with a small loop at
one end.

Their challenge, if they choose to accept it, is to
remove the ice cube from the glass of liquid without
disturbing the glass or touching the cube!

You let them try their theories and try not to look like a
know-all. When they let you have a go, lower the loop
onto the cube then sprinkle salt where the loop rests.
Wait a few seconds for the chemical reaction between
the salt and the ice, then raise the string and it will
easily bring the cube with it!

You have to use natural cotton cord, not synthetic, or
you will need real Magic to make it work!
