How To Become The Center Of Attention Learning And Doing A Couple Easy Magic Tricks

By Miles Sunkest

If you ever want to be an instant star at any party or bar or other social gathering that you find yourself in, then learning a few magic tricks can have a wonderful effect. Most people love to see an impromptu magician, and are really impressed if he or she is only halfway decent. There are a couple of tricks you can learn that will easily impress many people.

One kind of trick is a simple sleight of hand trick. This is the most basic kind of trick. You secretly do something with one hand while drawing the crowds attention to your other hand. Pulling coins out of people's ears, simple card tricks are examples of sleight of hand tricks.

Self working tricks are ones that you can do with a deck of cards. These are called self working because they are based on mathematical rules and don't usually require any planning. Sometimes you have to pre-stack the deck, or put the cards in a certain order. These are easy to learn, but they are usually easy to figure out, as most people know that they are not the sleight of hand variety.

Another kind of magic trick is when you pretend to be psychic. This is when you use simple principles of human psychology to make people you think you have super psychic powers. This really impresses people. Especially at a bar or a party when people may have had something to drink.

The biggest kind of trick, the ones you see people doing on TV, require all kinds of props, and assistants, and lots and lots of preparation. Sawing people in half, escaping out of an underwater are a couple of these tricks. Of course, most amateur magicians don't have the time for these, so we just usually leave them to the professionals.

When you only learn a couple sleight of hand tricks, and a couple mental tricks you can really impress a lot of people wherever you go. People will think you are a mystic psychic with magical skills, and you will always have a crowd of happy people around you.
