Some magicians use animals when they perform a show. Do you know how they do it? Well it’s pretty easy and you can also learn how to do it.
The first trick is bringing an insect back to life. For this, you will need an insect like a fly or a bee. There are two ways to catch it. First, you can swat it hard enough or catch it using a piece of paper and then putting it in the freezer because this will put them into a temporary coma.
You then put this on your windshield or a flat surface and call someone over and show the insect to them. You say that the insect is dead and that you can make it alive again.
This is done by saying a few magic words which you know does not have any effect and making a few passes with one hand until the insect suddenly wakes up and flies off.
The secret to this magic trick is being able to determine how long it takes to make the insect wake up once it has defrosted. Waving your hand helps since it will speed things up a bit. So the insect does not fly off too quickly before you come back and show this off to someone, make sure this is done under the shade.
Another animal magic trick involves pulling the head of a live chicken. For this, you will need a live chicken and fake chicken head.
You will first present a chicken to a live audience and ask if chickens have nine lives or less just like cats. To prove your theory, you hold the chicken with one hand and then pull the head with the other. After some time, you show the severed head to the audience telling them that it is dead and that everyone shouldn’t worry because you have the power to put it back together.
This is done by screwing the severed head back on the chicken at a 90 degree angle so they won’t see the fake head so you can present the chicken alive and kicking to everyone’s delight.
But how do you hide the real chicken head? You do this by tucking the head under one of the wings of the chicken. As for the fake head, this is hidden up your sleeve and brought out when you appear to be pulling off the chicken’s head then returned when you present the live chicken back to the audience.
If you don’t want to harm an animal or make people think that you did, you can make it disappear by putting the creature in a box that has a secret compartment so they can be hidden and brought out when it is time for them to appear again. The best animals for this trick are white doves or rabbits because they don’t cry, bite or scream that could spoil the trick.
For those who will use doves, be sure to trim the wings every two months so they don’t fly away. It is a painless procedure so they won’t feel a thing.
Bringing an animal back to life and making it appear and disappear are just a few magic tricks you can perform on stage. If you are concerned with animal rights group which say this is inhumane, you can give this up and use other props instead or learn to perform other tricks.
There are many versions of the voodoo magic trick. What you are trying to do here is simply to make the person believe you know what they are thinking of or what they had written down. One example is telling the person what they had written down on a piece of paper.
For this, you will need to round up somebody and ask them if they want to perform a magic trick. If they are more than happy, tell them to write something in a piece of paper. When they are finished, you instruct them to crumple the piece of paper and put it on the ashtray.
You then light it up using a match or a lighter and when it is completely burned, you get the burned piece of paper and rub this on your arms. When you are done, you tell the person what was written on the paper.
The key to making this trick work is being able to look at the paper before this is completely burned. You should do this without the other person noticing so they won’t know how you did it.
A similar trick will be letting a volunteer think of a number between one and one hundred and saying this out loud. You then show the piece of paper with the same number written that will really make them believe you can read their minds.
For this to work, you will need to wrap a small piece of cellophane tape on your thumb and a broken pencil lead which you will set on your thumb. Before they say the number, you pretend to write the number they are thinking of on the piece of paper. When they say it, you use your thumb with the broken lead and write it down then show it to them.
There is also the “think of any card” magic trick. Instead of writing something down, you simply give the person time to think which card they like and then say it aloud. When they say, it, you simply take it out of your pocket and surprise them because you just showed them the card they had picked.
But how do you do that? A lot of people say this trick is a wild guess but you can get a way with it since many pick the nine of diamonds, ace of spades, queen or hearts or the six of clubs. For this to work, you must have all the cards ready and then simply pull the right one out of your pocket. Just make sure you know where all of these are located so you get it right the firs time.
Can anyone really read a person’s mind? Of course not but this is the beauty about magic because you are creating the illusion that you can. It will just take some time to practice each of three magic tricks mentioned so you can get this right so you will be able to make everyone believe you have this gift.
The voodoo magic tricks are very simple and anyone can learn how to do it. If you are able to master these and want another challenge, do some research about other magic tricks so you can show it off to your friends.
