Flower Stem Is Produced From Magic Wand
Here is a showy magical effect that is surprising and very colourful. A magic wand is introduced to the audience, and can even be used to cause other magic to happen. Then at the appropriate time, a simple pass of the hand over the magic wand abruptly has the wand changing into a flower stem complete with a red bloom. As an option, the wand can instead be covered with a cloth or handkerchief. When the cover is removed, the wand has turned into the feather flower. Either way, it is an unexpected surprise that can be easily mastered by the youngest would-be magician.

Scarf Appears And Disappears All In Bare Hands
This is a demonstration of a magic trick they call "The Vanishing Silk".
In it, the magician takes a silk hankerchief, and pushes it into a closed fist.
Upon opening his/her hand, it is seen that the hankerchief has disappeared - all with bare hands!
At the magician's command, the silk hankerchief amazingly re-appears, both hands being shown empty once again.
The secret is not disclosed, but 'how-to' videos can be viewed at my other channel, "MagicSchool".
In Full View - A Scarf Changes Colour In The Magician's Bare Hands
It's always puzzling to see magic performed at close range without the use of boxes or canisters. This performance utilizes hands only.
A red hankerchief is pushed into the magician's fist.
Bit by bit it is pulled out from the bottom of the fist, but is now a different colour!
There is no revealing of the secret, but my other Rumble channel "MagicSchool" has a number of do-it-yourself tricks that you can make and perform at no cost to you. Take a look sometime.

A Green Spot Travels Mysteriously From One Card To Another
A traffic light of course consists of three coloured circles. Here is a baffling demonstration illustrating the flight of one of those circles. Two cards are shown.
On one, there are three spots bearing the three colours of a traffic light.
The other card is blank. By simply touching the two cards together, the magician causes the green spot to jump from one card to the other.
The audience can examine both cards.
For magic you can do yourself, check out my other Rumble channel "MagicSchool". There is no cost in making your own magic.

A Toy Kite Changes Colour And Grows An Instant Tail
Here's a video for your viewing pleasure. A small toy kite is shown to be plain on both sides. With a simple pass of the hand, the magician causes the kite to become multi-coloured.
He then merely touches the base of the kite with a magic wand, and a tail surprisingly appears, completing the illusion.

Playing Cards Shrink in Size, Becoming Progressively Smaller And Smaller
This is a magical effect I particularly enjoy. I've personally performed a version of this over many years, and it has always met with great approval.
A fan of cards gradually becomes smaller and smaller, finally disappearing altogether.
This is an improved version of a popular effect, bringing a proven winner up to date for today's astute audiences.
Performance of this item has been purposely simplified, so that even the young can master the trick with minimal effort.
For tricks with the secrets revealed, check my other Rumble channel "MagicSchool".

A Card Pack Becomes Smaller Than The Cards It Held
I love magic tricks where the onlookers are left completely puzzled, saying "That's impossible".
In this video, the magician removes a regular deck of cards from its box.
The cards are placed on the table and the box is set next to them.
To the amazement of the audience, the box has shrunk to an alarming size.
There is now no way that the cards will fit back in the box.
The reaction it causes is priceless.
Prepare and perform your own magic tricks by taking a look at my other channel "MagicSchool".

A Magic Wand Rises By Itself
Quite often, magic involves objects behaving in a way that defies the laws of nature. This is a video of one such display.
The magic wand is held in the magician's hand.
Slowly it begins to rise, all by itself. It can also be made to jump from the hand in a puzzling fashion. As a bonus, the same magic wand can be used in the normal manner, both before and after the demonstration.
A Ring Strangely Becomes Threaded on A Cord
Sometimes the magic in a display is not so much about the result, but the speed in which it was accomplished.
A cord is stretched between the magician's wrists, and tied securely to each one.
A ring is then introduced, and may be checked for authenticity by the audience. In the blink of an eye, the ring is seen threaded n the cord, dangling freely between his wrists. Both the cord and the ring can be removed and examined by the audience members.

A Mystery Box Restores The Torn Pieces of A Chosen Playing Card
Here's a demonstration of what some say is a classic magic trick, known as the 'Torn & Restored Card'. It has certainly been around for quite some time.
The magician tears up a chosen card, and retains one corner.
The pieces are placed in a small box and the magic word is uttered.
On opening the box, the card is seen to be restored, apart from the one corner that was retained in the audience member's possession.
Mystery Tokens Give Different Answers
Mathematical problems are always absorbing and interesting. Here's an exhibition with a difference. I can give a slight hint of its working, by saying that it relies on only two subtle moves involving sleight of hand.
The magician presents a magical version of 2 + 2 = 4.
However, in duplicating the trick, it ends with a completely unexpected result that is both surprising and captivating.
A Tiny Traffic Light That Actually Works - By Magic
We're all too familiar with the changing nature of traffic lights. Here, I've provided a video of a miniature traffic light going through its motions.
A miniature version displays the three colours of a regular traffic light - red, amber and green.
At the magician's command, the lights change colour a number of times before it finally reverts to its original state.
This is a clever updated version of a standard effect that's been around for well over 80 years. There are adaptations of the original still in existence today, which illustrates the resilience of this effect.

Coins Appear From A Mysterious Bag
Versatility is bonus when it comes to magical apparatus.
To have a piece of equipment that can perform more than one function is a definite plus. The video I've posted here gives a demonstration of one use of a very versatile item.
A bag with a netting front is shown to be completely empty.
The magician simply turns the bag around, and when displayed once more it is seen to contain a silver or gold coin.
Another variation is to start with a coin in the bag, and have it multiply.
You can even make a coin vanish with this bag. It's an asset to any young magician's collection.

A Card Disappears From A Short Stack
Here's another magic trick involving only three cards, so there isn't a full deck to confuse the onlooker. Magicians often use a disappearance to astound the audience, so here's one you may not have seen.
Three cards in a fan are displayed to the audience. The middle card is a court card. The fan is closed and placed on a table. The magician, revealing that the court card has now become invisible, places the phantom card in his breast pocket. Sensing the audience's distrust, he immediately reaches into his breast pocket and withdraws the court card, placing it back between the two cards still sitting on the table.

A Ghost Card Escapes From Its Restraint
Whether you like ghost stories or escapes from bondage, I have a demonstration that might appeal to you.
The magician shows three cards - two depicting a haunted house, and one of a ghost.
The three cards, ghost in the centre, are attached securely to a key-chain.
Magically, the ghost escapes from the key-chain, and is found elsewhere. The question would be: How can a card, any card, vanish from between two others while they remain in full view? I'll bet you can solve the riddle.

A Match Eerily Floats Suspended On A Playing Card
Over the past few hundred years, magicians have floated almost everything, from a crystal ball to a young lady. Here's a simple example of the laws of physics being contradicted.
A match is placed on the back of a playing card.
The magician causes the match to float above the card, proving it to be really suspended.
The match is then lowered down to the card once again, and both items can be examined.

The result? One squashed cube.
The squashed cube and the regular cube can now be examined by the audience.

This is an intriguing display showing how a painted arrow can be made to move up and down a bar, and even multiply.
A white arrow appears on a blank bar, and proceeds to jump around in a bewildering fashion.
Not only does it move around, but it also splits in two. The bar can be minutely inspected by a member of the audience.

Cutting A Key With Just Your Fingers
I guess at some stage, we've all had to have a key duplicated. Here's a unique method of duplicating a key without the use of a key-cutting machine.
The magician has a key examined by the audience. He now introduces a key-blank which can also be examined. With just his finger, he traces the outline of the key onto the blank. The blank now has the same contours of the original key, both of which can be examined yet again.

A Playing Card Slices Through A Bill With No Damage Noted
We never like to see legal tender being destroyed, but in this video the result is quite acceptable.
A magician pushes a playing card through a banknote in full view, leaving no damage. This differs somewhat from the traditional method of using a sleeve or cover to enclose the note before perforation.
The note can be borrowed from the audience and returned intact.

A Pencil Disappears And Is Replaced By Other Matter
A magic trick can be made to look all the more convincing if everyday items are used to create the mystery.
A magician places a pencil into a metal tube, and seals it with a cap.
The tube is then held by a spectator while the magician makes a magic pass.
The spectator can then remove the cap and examine the contents.
Strangely, the pencil has vanished, and in its place is a trail of star-dust.

A Rod Visibly Passes Through a Solid Plate
In magic, the thrusting of one solid object through another is often baffling and teasing. Here is a fine example.
A metal rod is seen to pass through a smaller hole in a solid metal plate.
On inspection, it is shown to be impossible for the rod to pass through the hole.

An Anchored Ribbon Strangely Jumps Across A Bar In Magical Display
The video is of a simple version of a well-known magic trick called the "Monkey Bar". Scaled down for the use of young magicians, it can be just as puzzling.
The magician shows a bar with three ribbons attached. Two are alike in colour, and one is odd.
The odd ribbon is on one end of the bar, and as a joke the magician turns the bar to make the odd ribbon appear on the other end.
This is reversed, and the audience are not impressed.
However, when the magician grasps all three ribbons and pulls them firmly, the odd ribbon is seen to have jumped to the centre of the bar.
Everything can now be handed out for inspection.
