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.
