=========================================================== Following is some of magic tricks which I know. I hope it can be useful to you who wish to learn magic for more. If you have the other magic tricks, Please share it here..... =========================================================== (Fly Resurrection) Effect : You are walking down the street and casually pick any spectator. You ask them to come with you to a nearby car and pick a dead fly off the windscreen. You hold it in your hand do a few passes with the other hand and appear to be really concentrating, while the fly slowly comes back to life, to the surprise of the spectator. Preparation : Freeze the fly Method : You need to catch a fly and freeze it, which puts it in a temporary coma, swatting the fly hard enough to immobilise it then placing it in a small container in the freezer can do this.The fly then needs to be quickly taken to a suitable windscreen IN THE SHADE and placed there. It is important that the car is in the shade to prevent the fly from defrosting too quickly.Then go and find a spectator and take them back to the car, which should appear to be randomly picked.The heat of your hand will revive the fly, which should soon start to move.A lot of this trick is in the actions of you reviving the fly. It may be necessary to practice how long it takes for the fly to revive itself. Freezing the fly with dry ice or even one of these aerosol canned air products for cleaning computers is a better way of freezing the fly as it is quicker and causes less damage to the fly. (Coin Bite And Restored Coin) David Blaine performed this extremely effective trick where a coin was bitten and a piece of it removed. The coin was restored when the missing piece was seemingly spat out at it. This trick was used using a very cleverly engineered coin, which is available from a lot of good magic suppliers. (Cough, Cough) This trick requires a lot of practise and is for advanced magicians. Effect : The magician has a card selected and signed. The spectator then shuffles the card into the pack and it is the magicians job to locate it. Unfortunately, the magician cannot seem to get it right, but after a few attempts, the magician seems to actually regurgitate a tightly folded card. It is the spectators card, with their signature. Preparation : You need a pen and a deck of cards. Method : Have the spectator selected a card from the deck and show it to the audience. After the card is signed, control it to the top of the deck by means of Hindu shuffle control or a revolving pass. The deck is now held in the standard dealing position in the left hand (with the chosen card at the top) get a finger break under the top card and palm it with your right hand immediately. Flourish the rest of the deck with a one hand cut, or one hand shuffle with your left hand offer it to a spectator to simply mix up the cards. Make sure the spectator starts to shuffle because some stubborn people start to shuffle through the deck looking for their card. Then turn your back making this move seem natural to show that there is no possible way that you could know where the card is. At this time you are folding the palmed card into eighths (The smaller the better). This is easy as your back is turned you can use both hands to do this and slip the tiny package in your mouth between your cheek and gum. Turn around to face the audience as the card is folded so tightly in your mouth, you can talk normally. Take the cards and act as if you messed up. Turn over a couple of cards to reveal what was supposed to be their selection. Do whatever you want to, just make yourself look bad. As soon as they reach their peak, work the card out of your lips and slowly spit the card out onto the palm of your hand. Unfold it, and watch the audience scream at the chosen signed card. It looks as if you somehow swallowed the card beforehand and regurgitated it back up again. (Coin Vanish) David Baine was seen in this TV special to visibly vanish a coin that was on a spectators outstretched palm, without touching the spectators palm and by waving his hands above the spectators palm. This looks very impressive and is performed by using a gimmick called "The Raven" which is available from good magic suppliers and is a worthwhile purchase for those of you interested in street magic. (Card In Bottle) Effect : The spectator is asked to sign a card and the card is placed in the deck and cards are shuffled. The magician throws the cards at a bottle behind the spectators. The signed card appears in the bottle. Method : David Blaine showed the spectators a different trick before this one involving the same spectator signing a card of the same number and suit that is forced when showing the card in a bottle trick following after the card trick. He then keeps the card and does another trick not involving cards and slips the card to one of the cameramen or lights crew. The guy then puts the card in the bottle while David distracts the audience with a trick. Then he goes on to perform the card in the bottle trick and the card is forced, signed, and the trick is done.He then throws the cards at the bottle and the card that was recently signed is held on to. He then tells everyone to look at the bottle and the card is slipped in his pocket. (Cigarette Through The Coin Trick) David Blaine again used this impressive trick where he pushed a cigarette through a quarter. This trick uses a very clever gimmicked coin where the middle temporarily opens to let the cigarette through and later close so the hole is virtually invisible to the spectator. This coin is available through good magic suppliers, and is often on ebay. (Ace Shake) This trick was performed in David Blaine's second special where he made the spectator sign a card, the card was put in the pack and was made to appear from between two aces. Secret Give the spectator, the red aces and tell them to hold them. Fan out the deck and tell the spectator to touch a card. Square the deck up leaving their card stuck out to be signed and shown. This is because you secretly put the card into "palm position" when you square up the deck so you can easily palm the card when you want to. It must stick out of the lower corner of the pack meeting your inner thumb. Let them sign the card and then hand them the deck, secretly paling their card. After they are convinced that the card between the aces, showing only the aces face up. Tell them to hold the deck openly and start to shake the aces over the pack, tell them to watch their card rise from the deck into the two aces, shake a little more loosely and the card will appear to their amazement. (Voodoo Ash) Effect : A name is written on a piece of paper on a notepad by the spectator, the paper is torn off unseen by the magician, crumpled up and placed in an ashtray. It is then set alight. The ashes are then rubbed on the magicians arm and the name of the person written on the paper mysteriously appears. Preparation : You will need a small notepad, pen, ashtray, lighter and a small piece of soap or wax. Method : The spectator is asked to write the name of a person or favourite anything of theirs on a notepad. Then to tear of the sheet of notepaper, crumple it up and place it in the ashtray, where the magician then sets the paper alight. The magician takes the notepad of the spectator and should be able to see the imprint of the name written on the paper above in the next sheet of the notepad. Looking at the pad should not be made obvious and some misdirection carried out while he carefully takes the small piece of wax or soap and writes the name on the imprint on his arm or hand (this will not be visible to anyone). The magician can then take some ash from the ashtray and rub it over the wax where it will stick and create an impression of the spectators word to there amazement. This is a great trick but depends on the magician creating an atmosphere with an entertaining routine and patter about black magic to enhance the effect and create misdirection to allow him time to pull off the trick. (Two Card Monte) This trick requires a lot of practice and is for advanced magicians. Effect : (This is the trick that was performed on the David Blain special and requires a complete mastery of the double lift). The magician shows the spectator, the queen of diamonds on the top of the deck. He then tells the spectator to hold the queen face down between his fingers. The performer then shows the next top card, the other red queen. After several fast sneaky switches of the cards, the spectator is told to guess which card is where? When he turns over his hand, he realises he is holding no aces at all. Preparation This trick is done with a regular set of cards. Before performing the trick, put the black ace on the bottom, preferably the ace of clubs, it is less conspicuous. On the top of the deck, place the queen of diamonds, then the ace of spades, then the queen of hearts. Method : With the deck set up as above, first show the spectators the (actual) top card. Tell them to hold it between their fingers, face down. Then tell them to look at the card they have, so they are sure that there was no fancy moves in play. Using this as misdirection, prepare to double lift the next two cards once they have looked at their card. Perform the double lift and show them the queen of hearts with the ace concealed. Put the cards back on top of the deck, and then remove the ace without showing them the face of the ace. Then pretend to switch the cards, once or twice. After this say "OK I'm going to teach you how to do this" This time, perform the "switch" very slowly, actually switching the cards.
