If you’ve never made a paperclips jump together and link up by themselves, turned water into ink, or made metal rings pass through solid rope, you’re missing out. Big time. We’re going to show you our set of incredible magic-show-style tricks that will make you truly amazing.
But, there is something you should know about magic…

Magic is not something you do, it’s something you perform. Any one of the following activities can become part of a first-rate magic show, or just a way to entertain your brain while waiting for the bus. It’s all a matter of how you deliver it.
Just like reading words is not singing, pulling a rabbit out of your hand is not magic. You need to pack as much ‘show’ into your act as you work to create the illusion and make it as believable as you can. This is called your ‘performance’, and you’ll be spending most of your time with this step… and that’s not the step we’re going to be doing here!
In this set of experiments, we’re going to show you several science experiments and a few hand trick secrets that you can develop into a magic show. You’ll need to figure out the ‘story’ to use – what you’re going to say to the audience and how you’re going to say it. Practice your presentation over and over, in front of the dog, mirror, friends, or team of stuffed animals until it’s smooth enough so you’re comfortable with doing it.
Most experiments require nothing more than a few household items. You’ll find materials listed separately for each magic trick. Before we start, though, there are two things I really want you to remember, now that you’re entering into the Magician’s World:
1. Never repeat a magic trick. Ever. Period.
2. Never give away your secret. Never, ever, ever in a million years.
If you find you’re being hounded by the audience to give it away, shrug and turn away. Don’t cave in, don’t give in. Keep your mouth shut and smile. (That alone will drive them nuts, which can be fun to watch, too.) Just smile and move onto something else. Another magic trick, perhaps?

That’s true… this is the introduction to this section, and there’s no experiment associated with this post. However if you look right below and the following experiments, there are videos for you!
There is no video attached to this experiment. Thank you
Whoops! Sorry about that – it looks like it didn’t get fully transferred. Try it now – I’ve just uploaded it again.
