Learn easy magic tricks and how to make balloon animals on this channel. For magic tricks, we feature step by step tutorials that are specifically for beginners and kids. All of the easy magic tricks are simple to learn and only require household items or basic craft materials. In addition to teaching tricks to perform for family and friends, we also feature DIY, craft style magic tricks that kids can make and perform at school assemblies and for their classes.
For those who may want to learn to make balloon animals to entertain at parties, and at school, cub scout, church and other events (carnivals, bazaars, assemblies), we teach how to twist balloon animals as fun giveaways or for selling as fundraisers.
This is also the magic vlog for professional magician Wayne Kawamoto (waynemagician.com, @waynemagician).
I learned this trick as a kid where you place the cards behind your back. But someone recently showed me this version that I think is far cleaner. It's a great beginner's card trick. Thanks for writing and enjoy your holiday weekend.
I think it's the best trick for little kids (just as long as they're old enough to not want to swallow the coin). I've used these as giveaways at parties and they're always a hit. Thanks.
Thanks. I learned this one with the "put the cards behind the back," which I never really liked. Someone showed me this version that streamlines the process. I like so much better. Have a great weekend.
Popping can be so frustrating. We have a newer youtube video that offers more explanation on how to prevent popping. How to Make a Dog Balloon: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f7BMPACzZgw.html In general, check your fingernails for sharp edges that may catch on the balloon. Make sure that you are using good quality balloons that are not old and brittle. Finally, try under-inflating your balloons a bit at the start so they're softer and less likely to pop. Hope that helps. Good luck.
Either is edited (stolen idea from @pearcegreatesteverledtvack03 ) or methinks those are gimmick cards with double back cards one blue side, the other red side
Try inflating the balloon a little less and squeezing some of the air towards the balloon’s end to soften it (and be less likely to pop). Generally, check your fingernails for sharp edges and make sure that your balloons are in good shape (and not old and brittle). Good luck.
I do not understand how you made that final tail twist at the end, I tried doing it together with my student but we struggled at that last step over over half an hour before giving up when the bell rang and we still couldn't figure it out, it looked like you did a pinch twist in on itself or something, I just don't get it :(
Sorry if the step was unclear. Yes, the last step is an optional pinch twist that brings the tail down. It’s a matter of personal preference. The balloon can be quite full and hard to manipulate at this last step. If this is the case, you can put less air into the balloon when you inflate it. Good luck.
That's a really old video. We have a newer video that teaches the same trick: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BnVcAG8J8lI.html And feel free to ask any questions that you may have.
That trick is given away by the white tube inside the lighter. When you switch hands to show the (twisted) lighter, we could still see that white tube and that it was angled- not straight.
That could definitely work. Probably use a long (pen length) piece of paper and roll it lengthwise so there's only one seam. I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
You’re very observant! You’re right, there’s a mistake in the performance. Even with this mistake, I would have realized that the count was off when I didn’t see the key card (at 12:00). Thanks for keeping me honest. Or at least as honest as a magician can be.
Speaking of clock tricks, let's see you make Big Ben disappear. Chances are, you'd do what was done with the Statue of Liberty and have the cameras moved so that they're not focused on the clock.
Just experimenting with props that I have on hand. It’s fun to mix and match. Although I’m getting to a point where I’m not sure which props go with which tricks??
