This Easy To Learn Magic Trick Will Entertain Anybody

If you've ever done some simple magic for others, then you know how incredibly fun it can be to keep them guessing while showing them tricks that seemingly break the laws of physics. In this article I'll show you a quick and easy "close up" trick that you can perform for any small group of people.

Kids especially love this trick, because even they will want to learn how to do it so they can show it to their friends. If you like to "ham it up," so to speak, you can have a lot of fun with this trick. They will be convinced you are gifted with the skills of telekinesis.

All you need is an ordinary rubber band, and a paper clip, or something else that can just hang there while you make it move with your powerful psychic skills. Even if they are watching from a few feet away, they won't be able to discover how you do this magic trick. Here's the trick:

You hold a stretched out elastic or rubber band between your hands, with your left hand lower than your right, and separated by about eight inches or so. As you focus all your psychic energy on the paper clip, or whatever else you have hanging there, it will start to mysteriously move up towards your right hand. As you focus your powerful mental energy on this inanimate object, it will mysteriously obey your commands and rise up toward your right hand. Be prepared to hear excited squeals of pleasure from your audience.

The secret behind the magic is as follows. When you start off, hold the end of the elastic band in your right hand, and hold the middle of the length in your left hand. Keep the rest of the slack hidden in the palm of your left hand. You'll need to keep your palms facing you, so they don't see what's inside. When you start, have the paper clip or other object near your left hand, and have you right hand slightly elevated, and about eight inches away or so.

Now all you need to do is slowly let out some "slack" with your left hand. Keep the distance between your hands the same. As you release more slack, the paper clip will naturally rise toward your right hand. It's important that you start out with sufficient stretch in the rubber band between hands, so you have lots of room to work with as you allow out some slack from your left hand. You don't need to let out that much, as you only need an inch or so of movement to have a powerful effect.

One fun way to avoid detection is to pretend you are exerting tremendous amount of psychic energy onto the paper clip, and after it has moved an inch or so, collapse your hands and act as though you've expended a tremendous amount of energy. After a few breaths, and after you collect some more psychic energy, (and after you've reset this trick) you can perform this for them again. I'll leave it up to you if you want to reveal this magic trick.
