Learning Paper Tricks
Performing magic tricks has always been one of the most popular
past times enjoyed by a lot of people from all walks of life.
There are various kinds of magic tricks. One of many kinds of
the usual scene-stealing tricks is a paper trick. There could be
innumerable ways to deliver a paper trick. Here are a few of
those paper tricks that can be easily learned by a new magic
aficionado:
1. A paper-tearing trick is a clever method of tearing and
bringing back the form of a sheet of paper. You can do this
trick mostly on tissue papers. This could be a little different
compared to other paper tricks.
You will hand out two kinds of tissue papers; it can be color
white or black. You will tear both the papers and fold them into
tiny squares. When he opens the paper, the two are still there,
but surprisingly it is formed into a large white square and in
the center, there is a black square.
You wonder why there are no torn traces on the paper. The have
an idea on the trick, the restored paper is already formed by
sticking a black square on each side of the large white paper.
On a particular side, the black part is paste all three edges
and one edge is left open.
The paper formed is then folded into a tiny square, and the
outside have an opening. It is then laid on the table for about
5 seconds. You will get the restored form and place it behind
his back.
The paper is divided into four pieces of squares, and the whole
is bundle is again shown in the front, the tricky part on this
is that you will make a little wave in his hands, making the two
torn pieces together, and then slowly opening the restored torn
paper. This takes a narrow chance to poke the torn pieces into
the secret pocket. Ending the trick with showing both hands and
they will find nothing.
2. Another trick is called the generous offer. You will need a
piece of paper and hand it out to a person. Ask him to tear it
into quarters. It must be torn equally, you will then get the
papers and give him back a quarter of it. He then thinks that
the task is easy enough, and then he may ask for a prize for
doing it.
You will then applaud him and give his prize of another quarter
of the paper. From there you gave the person one of the four
pieces of the paper, which was supposed to be a quarter also of
the sheet of paper. You can use a different way to approach this
trick in using slang expressions of offering or donate "two
bits". In this approach two pieces of paper is given to him, as
it presents the two bits you said.
3. The next trick you may learn is the look easy trick. Find a
sheet of paper and tear it in two thirds. It is required not
totally tear the end sections. It should be a little loose, and
the outcome will be a slit parallel sheet of paper with three
flaps.
Give it to the person and tell him to have a hold on the edge of
the flaps and hide one in each hand. From the center of the
paper, you will make him tear the end flaps. It seems to be a
piece of cake, but it is not. When he tries to work on it, only
one edge of the flap is torn. The pull is purposely even
distributed.
4. The floating paper ball needs to be performed under proper
situations because it requires a little experiment. You need to
crumple one piece of paper into a ball and you will have to hold
it using your left hand with your right hand on top of it. You
will remove your left hand, and have the paper just floated in
the air moving upward to your right hand.
The trick is done because of the black silk thread. The thread
is placed over your right ear forming a loop in one of the ends.
The other end is tied loosely to your black coat button. They do
not have the idea that you squeezed it around on the loose end,
before the paper ball is formed.
When you move your right hand upward, you will use your right
thumb to catch the thread. You will then draw the thread tightly
so that when you take off your hand, the ball automatically
floats. Move your hand forward, then raise the ball. Bringing it
back lowers it. On the last part, you will have to get the ball
on your left hand and untying it from the thread. The right hand
brushing your hair will lift the loop from your ear, and the
thread just falls down on the floor, without one noticing it.
