One Simple And Easy To Learn Magic Trick That You Can Do Anywhere

If you enjoy the idea of performing up close, impromptu magic at parties, bars or any other social gathering, then this article is for you. You'll learn a simple but powerful trick that never ceases to amaze and entertain people.

I've done this with a lot of different people, and it seems to work best on children. They love this trick and are always impressed. Once they "discover" how this simple trick works, they'll be off and running to their friends or parents to show them.

You'll need a rubber band, and a paper clip. You don't have to use a paper click, just anything that can hang over the rubber band that is easily visible from a few feet away. Here's the trick.

You stretch the rubber band out between your hands, holding either end between your thumb and forefinger. Hold your hands so that rubber band is at an angle, and not parallel to the floor. Start off with the paper clip on the low side of the angled rubber band.

Now, as you project your psychic energy on the paper clip, it will magically rise up the rubber band, from your lower hand toward your higher hand, as if has no choice but to obey your powerful telekinetic abilities. But prepared to hear stunned squeals of excitement from your stunned onlookers.

Here's how to do the trick. The idea is that with lots of "slack" hidden in your left hand, you can let it out slowly, and give the impression that nothing is happening to the rubber band. You grasp the rubber band in the middle, and on one of the ends. Then the length between the middle, and the other end (that you didn't grab) you keep hidden in the palm of your hand.

So when you start out, lets say your left hand is lower than your right hand. You have the end of the rubber band in your right hand, raised up. The middle of the rubber band is in your left hand, but it appears to the observer that it is the end. The rest of the length is hidden in your palm. Pull the rubber band out, so the stretched out, visible portion, is about 8 inches or so. The paper clip should be hanging near the bottom, near your left hand.

Now you slowly let out a bit of "slack" with your left hand. Slowly let some of the hidden rubber band slip through your left thumb and forefinger. As you do so, the paper clip will naturally move up the rubber band, as you release more rubber band into the "stretched out" portion.

The key is to stretch out enough, so that when you let out some slack, the actual "stretched" length can remain the same. You hold your hands in the same place while letting some slack in. That way the paper clip will appear to magically slide up the rubber band. It takes some practice (at most a couple mintes!) to be able to let out some slack without making it obvious, but once you get it down, this trick is a quick and easy way to impress a bunch of kids or adults whenever you feel like it.
