Jumping Quarters

2008-08-21T03:49:00.000+03:00

Effect: Six quarters are shown, three in each hand. After making a fist, one quarter has jumped to the other hand leaving two in one hand and four in the other. The hands are closed again and when opened there is only one coin left in one hand, and five in the other. Once again the last quarter jumps to the other hand leaving all six in one hand

Secret: The right hand picks up three of the six coins one at a time, secretly palming the first coin. Drop the other two coins into your left hand so that the number of coins is unnoticed, and close your fist. Pick up the remaining three coins with your right hand still palming the first coin. Slap both of your hands on the table to reveal that one of the coins has jumped to your other hand. Pick up the pair of coins with your right hand, palming the first coin as before, and drop the other into your left hand again. Slap the coins on the table, pick up the single coin with your right hand and palm it. Pretend to drop the last coin in your left hand and make a fist, pick up the rest of the five coins with your right hand and open both of your hands showing all six in one and none in the other.

The Two Dimes and the Half Dollar

2008-08-21T03:48:00.000+03:00

Effect: The magician holds two dimes, one in each hand. He places them between his forefingers and thumb, proving there is nothing else is in his hands. When the magician pushes the dimes together he produces a half-dollar.

Secret: The dime itself conceals the half-dollar, surprisingly. Place the half-dollar in your right hand, in the bend of your fingers to palm it, keeping the back of your hand toward the audience. Place the dime in-between your finger and thumb tip, showing face forward toward you. Use your left hand to lift the half-dollar behind the dime, edge-wise, in the bend of your fist finger and your thumb (see photo at bottom). It is important to do this trick up close, and as close as possible because this only looks good when done straight on. Take the dime in the other hand in a similar manner as to avoid suspicion of the other hand, and show both hands openly but briefly. Bring your left hand around to your right covering your right hand with your fingers, and press the dimes together. Although not necessary, if you like you can conceal the dimes now, it will make the effect much more surprising. Turn the half-dollar from its side to face forward, while your left hand still conceals your movements. Spread your fingers on your left hand to produce the half-dollar.

Coin Through The Table

2008-08-21T03:46:00.000+03:00

Effect: A quarter or a half-dollar is tapped on the table a few times, laid down and covered by the performer's hand. Mysteriously the coin has gone through the table and has fallen into the performer's other hand.

Secret: Begin with the coin lying about a foot from the edge of the table. Slide the coin all the way off the edge of the table to pick it up. Tap the coin on the table a few times, hold the coin in the palm of your hand and slap the coin on the table covering it with your hand. Tell the spectators that you are going to push the coin through the table and pretend to try as hard as you can. Uncover the coin saying it must not have worked, and tell them you will attempt to do it again. This time when you slide the coin off the edge of the table, drop it into your left hand. Reach under the table with the coin in your left hand and hit the coin on the bottom of the table as you pretend to slap the coin on the tabletop with your right hand. Pretend to push it through the table again, lift your hand and bring the coin out from under the table.

Multiplying Bills

2008-08-21T03:45:00.000+03:00

Effect: A borrowed bill is held openly in hands, both sleeves are rolled up and hands are shown to be empty separately. Hands are brought together and the borrowed bill is fanned out into ten or more bills, multiplying before the eyes.

Secret: Tightly roll several bills into a small tube and wrap it a few times with a piece of thread before the presentation. You must be wearing some kind of loose long sleeves, place the roll of bills in the crease in your left elbow, using the folds of your sleeve and the bend of your arm to conceal it.

Presentation: Borrow a bill and hold it in your right hand, showing your left hand to be empty, and push your right sleeve up. Pass the bill to your left hand and show that your right hand is empty. Push your sleeve on your left arm up and secretly palm the roll of bills in you right hand. Immediately bring both hands together and slowly spread your hands apart, unrolling the bills and fanning them out. This is a version of the Multiple Bill Production that requires a little more skill and hand sleight.

The electrician

2008-08-21T03:35:00.000+03:00

One electrician was called over and was paid $48 to fix the TV, but was only half way through fixing it which was alright and what the family expected. Three other electricians came over to fix the same TV, but halved the TV's reception and got de-promoted, and the de-promotion increased the first electricians daily salary by $20. He fixed the TV back to half way fair and got paid the proper payment. That was all for the fortnight. How much did the first electrician get paid for the fortnight(It was a sunday so it's a FULL two weeks)?

Answer: 1.$48 for fixing the TV HALF WAY. = $48

2.1/4 of the reception failed, and increased his daily salary(let's add that at the end)

3.He fixed 1/4 of the TVs reception back to half way, so that is half of his payment from before, which adds $24. =$72

4.Now the salary, 14x$20=$280, $280+$72=$352

Tightrope Balancing Ball

2008-08-14T07:19:00.000+03:00

Effect: A two or three-foot rope is held tightly between the performer’s hands. The performer proceeds to balance a ball on the rope and mystically the ball rolls from one end of the rope to the other.

Secret: A thin piece of black thread almost as long as the rope is used to build a track for the ball to roll on. Tie both ends of the thread near the ends of the rope leaving just a little slack. Facing the audience, hold the rope tight with both hands at opposite ends, the thread should be behind the rope. Insert your thumbs between the rope and the thread to spread them apart from each other, this is what creates the secret track. Now your ping-pong ball or hollow billiard ball can be rolled back and forth on a single piece of rope. This can be effectively used in a billiards routine or a rope routine.

The Runaway Knot

2008-08-14T07:16:00.001+03:00

Effect: The performer takes a piece of rope and allows the spectator to cut it in two. The two ends of the rope are then tied together, and then held up. The magician slides the knot down the length of the rope, and makes it vanish.

Secret: Take a three or four foot piece of rope and tie the ends together to form a loop. Start by holding the rope in your right hand, laying the knot of the loop across your face up palm. Take your left hand, palm face down, and place your hand into the backside of the loop and grab the other half of the rope with your left hand. Bring your hands together and lay the other piece of rope in your right hand, twisting your hands back to their natural position. This should cross the strings twice forming a small lock, immediately cover this lock with your right hand as you are bringing your hands together. Hold the rope with your left hand a few inches away from your right, and ask a spectator to cut the rope in between your hands. Covering the lock with your right hand still, it looks like two pieces of rope of the same size, hanging side by side. Now tie the two loose ends hanging from the top of your hand together without revealing the hidden lock, this knot can now be slid up and down the rope. Slide the knot off the rope to finish.

The Classic Rope Trick

2008-08-14T07:14:00.001+03:00

Effect: The performer cuts a rope into two equal pieces with a pair of scissors, and ties the ends back together with a small knot. The rope is quickly restored to its original state and the knot vanishes.

Secret: This should be done with a three or four-foot rope, preferably a thin soft white rope. Hold the first end of the rope (A) under your thumb allowing the end to barely protrude in your left hand, palm facing you. Grab the other end of the rope (D) with your right hand and place it in-between your first and second fingertips in your left hand. Place your right hand fingers under the bottom of the loop at the middle of the rope and bring it straight up to your left hand, lifting the rope with it. Just before you bring the loop up to your left palm, use your first finger and thumb to grab the rope behind your palm a half inch away from the first end (A). Bring this piece of rope through the big loop, and place the resulting smaller loop under your thumb between the two ends of the rope. Cut the fake loop making two new ends (B, C) and apparently two equal lengths of rope to the spectators. You actually have one real short piece on the left and one piece on the right almost the length of the original, both locked together by a loop behind your left hand. Drop both of the two ends of the longer rope (B, D) on the right side of your hand nearest your fingertips, hold the ends of the short rope (A, B) keeping the secret loop still hidden with your left hand. Close the last three fingers of your left hand into a fist around the rope, and tie the ends of the shorter rope (A, B) together around the longer piece and drop one end. Holding one end of the rope now with your left hand, announce that you have restored the rope and wait for the laughs and haggling. Take the rope with your right hand, holding it by the knot, and wrap it around your left hand allowing the knot to slide off the rope as you do. If this
step is done fairly fast no one will realize you are removing the fake knot. Reach into your pocket for some magic wizard dust, drop the fake knot into your pocket,
and sprinkle the dust over the rope. Unwind the rope and hand it out for examination.
