im doing a magic show with pre-schoolers.....?

Question

what tricks should i preform?

i know not to do stigmata xD

Answer 1

I know two or three that are so easy, and i know its simple but if you think about your audiance, they are easily tricked.

Do the disappearing leg, where you already have slipped your foot (heel) out of your shoe, hold up a blanket or a coat, say some 'magic words', and pull up the coat/blanket to show no foot!

Do the one where you "stretch" your thumb...you should know how to do it, just put your right thumb in between your index finger and middle finger, and place it againts yoru left thumb and pull.

Or, do the floating pencil--where you have it under your index finger, ((turned away fromt the audiance of course)) and then grab your wrist with the other fingers, and let the hand holding the pencil go one by one...and of course itll float

Answer 2

Avoid coin and card tricks because these guys may be too young to remember numbers, suits and coin values.

Any kind of levitation (pencil, shoe, even coin and card) is good for this age. Sponge balls also go over well. Linking rings are good as long as it is a short routine.

Answer 3

This site probably has some easy ones to amaze the young ones. I haven't looked at all of them.
