Magic can be one of the most amazing things for kids to see, but magic tricks for kids put the magical power into their own hands. And when kids transforms themselves into magicians, their excitement can grow to even greater heights.
Sure, you can amaze your child by showing him or her with magic for
kids or with a whole and fabulous kids magic party, but you will
probably find that your child will be much happier with the ability
to astound his or her friends with kids magic tricks that
they can do all on their OWN.
These easy magic tricks for kids are simple enough that they can be
learned quite quickly.
Whether you want math magic for your
kid, a simple magic trick for kid of any age, some kids crafts
magic, a magic card trick for kid, a child magic trick, or a child
magic show, this is the best place to be.
This is a
big easy magic tricks for children resource with 9 spectacular magic
tricks:
On this page you will find all kinds of awesome free kids magic
tricks, including some nifty math magic, a magic trick for child or
two, and anything your child wants to become a magician.
When
it comes to teaching your kids magic, and your child is actually
really serious about being a magician remember to teach them the
first law of magic:
A magician never reveals his or
her secrets!
If your kids want to astound their
friends and keep the mystique and impressiveness to a maximum, it is
a good idea to inspire them to keep the recipe to their magic tricks
to themselves and keep their mouths tightly closed in order to keep
the mystery and surprise in the magic tricks.
Knowing kids,
it's going to be very hard for them to keep quiet when they do a
magic trick for their friends. They will probably get so excited
about doing a trick and fooling their friends that it can be
difficult for them to not let their friends in on the close secret.
:-)
The
second law of magic is: repeat, repeat, repeat!
Repetition is the law of memory, but repeating an action helps your
child to get the action right.
Just like your child has to
learn to tie their shoelaces, ride a bike, or put on their backpack
over and over until they get it right, so too they have to perform
each of the magic tricks over and over if they want to get the hang
of the motions.
It will always take a lot of practice to get
the trick right and looking good, but it is well worth it for them
to be able to pull a slick trick off without fumbling or making a
mistake.
So the cliché really does stick: Practice
makes magical master! :-)
Many kids love to perform
magic tricks in their bedroom or with their siblings, but when it
comes time to do their trick at a child magic show, they may end up
fumbling or freezing because they are nervous.
However, if
they have practiced their magic tricks over and over, they
won't even have to think about it because their brains have already
gotten so used to moving their hands and fingers through the motions
that it won't be a problem.
So repetition can be boring but
they'll know it'll be worth it, when they can pull off the trick
flawlessly.
If
you want to teach your child or children some fun and easy
magic tricks and preparing them to stage a child
magic show, here are some good things to keep in mind:
If you can help your child and follow the tips above, you can
be certain that your child will become a great magician and go
on to impress their friends and family with their amazing
magic tricks.
So, let's get down to a few simple magic
tricks.
Remember: keep the tricks for kids simple and it will make it easier for them to
learn.
These kids magic tricks below are all
quite easy to learn, and your child is sure to impress his or
her friends once a trick is properly learned.
This simple magic trick for kids is so easy that you might feel silly once you get it:
Sounds easy, but such magic tricks for kids take a lot of
practice to grab the rubber band in the middle while appearing
to grab its ends.
As this instruction can be quite
difficult to understand properly, here is a video
demonstration of this free magic trick for kids.
This is a terribly simple trick, and it can be fun for
your child to learn:
The reason this works is that putting the paper clip on the
back of the middle card (the queen) will make the clip appear
to be in a completely different place when you turn the cards
over (it will be on the other side of the card and thus appear
to be on the front of another card).
For this kind of easy magic trick, all you really need is a pencil and a bit of practice:
It doesn't take very fast shaking, but practice getting the
speed just right in order to make the pencil appear to bend as
you bounce it with a loose grip.
The necklace trick will require more practice, but it's quite simple when you think about it:
The secret of this trick is the knot that you used in the
center bead. It will pull loose and let the beads slip right
off the string if you get it right.
The trick takes practice to get it right, but it's a good one
for amateur magicians:
This magic trick for kids is really easy, but you
will need to practice it a bit to get the trick down just
right and make it fluid.
Here is a video demonstration
of this magic trick:
This is a nifty magic trick for kids that will amaze your child's friends, but it may be harder to pull off than you might expect:
Your child will have to practice this one a lot in order to
get it right, as it takes practice to move the hand gently
while making it appear that the ring is levitating.
You can help your child astound his or her friends with this trick, and it only calls for a simple gimmick that is easy to make:
Getting that grip between index and ring finger right will
hold the cards in place, but it will take a bit of practice to
make it look natural.
Here is an excellent video
tutorial on how to perform this great one of magic tricks for
kids.
An illusion is easy to do, but it will take a good deal of practice to get it just right:
It will take work to get this trick right, as you will have to
slide it into the ring on the back of your hand. Totally worth
it to see the looks of amazement on your child's friends'
faces as they see him or her make a toothpick disappear.
An easy card trick for kids, but will need hours of repeating to make it look natural:
If you can get this trick right, you can make it look like the
card is rising all on its own, but it will be a bit tricky to
get it right.
All of the tricks above are guaranteed to
provide hours of fun for your child and amaze your child's
friends!
If your child can get them down right, they
will be able to pull off the tricks without a hitch :-)

Being a parent can feel like a double-edged sword. Life with kids may feel like the greatest gift you have ever received, while at the same being hugely challenging, often leaving you confused, stressed and overwhelmed.
