Trick with folding halves of colored paper.
For this trick, prepare as many paper shapes as possible, but symmetrical. They should be cut in half along the axis of symmetry. You get two identical halves. Invite the audience to find a symmetrical half for each piece of paper. This trick is very informative for young children, as it introduces them to the concepts of "geometric figure", "symmetry", "axis of symmetry". Items that can be used for this trick are shown in the picture. But you can think of something else, just take into account that the axis should divide the paper object exactly in half: vertically or horizontally.
Focus - Paper in an envelope
For the focus you will need: a sheet of colored paper, an envelope with slots.
Insert a piece of colored paper into the envelope. Invite the audience to cut the envelope, as it were, together with a sheet of paper into identical parts from the bottom up, but the sheet of paper should remain intact. No one can do this, but you can.
Secret trick with paper and envelope.
- The envelope must be cut in advance in two places, through these holes and pass the paper, putting it into the envelope in front of the audience.
- The middle part of the paper will remain outside.
- The scissors pass between the sheet of paper and the envelope, and the sheet remains intact after cutting the envelope.
- The envelope during the focus should be kept with the side with slots towards you.
Focus with writing phrase on paper
You will need: 2 sheets of paper, a pencil. Focus content. Give a sheet of paper and a pencil to any viewer and invite him to write some phrase, but so that neither you nor anyone else sees it. When he writes, ask him to give a piece of paper to any other viewer. Say that on another sheet of paper you can, guessing, write ... the same thing!
Focus secret.
Defiantly pretend that you think, then take a pencil, write a phrase on your sheet and show it to all viewers. Your phrase should consist of these words: "The same." You just promised to write "the same"!
Focus with paper postcard
You will need: an ordinary postcard, scissors.
Show the audience a postcard and offer to make a hole in it so that they can climb through it. Nobody will be able to do this. And you can.

The card should be folded in half and cut, unfolded and stretched, taking the ends. It will turn out such a ring from a postcard that it will be quite possible to crawl into it.
Focus with paper notepad
You will need: a paper notebook prepared in a special way, 2 ordinary postcards.
How to make a magic notepad
- For this trick, specially make a cardboard notebook in advance.
- It has two lids.
- Both are hollow inside, like a mailbox, but one is solid with a slot at the top.
- The other lid is a lattice.
- Inside this lattice lid, put a postcard, exactly the same as the one shown to the audience and put in a notebook
- On this postcard inserted inside the lid, make exactly the same holes as on the grill.
Show the audience an empty notepad with one slatted lid. Close notepad. Put an ordinary postcard in the slot at the top of the notebook. Show the audience a notebook with a lattice lid: they should see the enclosed postcard there. But there are no postcards. Open the notebook and show the audience that there is no postcard in it. How did the postcard disappear? It's all about the secret device of this notebook.
Focus secret.
When you show the audience a whole postcard and pretend to put it in a notebook, you are actually putting it into a single lid through the slot. There she is.
The lattice postcard should move slightly inside the lattice cap. When you show the audience through the grate on the lid the postcard inside, then, by shaking the notebook, you move it a little (you need to practice beforehand), so those present can see it.
But then you shake the notepad again, and the audience thinks the postcard is gone. In fact, the slits on it coincided with the slits on the lid, and it seems to the audience that the notebook is empty. When you open it, they will be convinced of it - empty! But in fact, both postcards are on a notebook, but inside its lids.
Focus - Magic Picture
You will need: a reproduction of any beautiful painting, a slightly larger sheet of thin paper, brushes, a palette.
Attach a sheet of clean paper to the easel. Take a palette and brushes, swipe several times over the sheet, and gradually a beautiful picture will appear before the eyes of the audience.
Focus secret.
Wrap the reproduction picture with a sheet of thin paper, its edges must be folded and pressed very tightly so that there are no irregularities. On the palette, in addition to paints, there is oil. While pretending to touch the paint with a brush, in fact you are moistening the brush with oil, brushing the oil on the paper, it is oiled and made transparent.
It seems to the audience that it was you who painted such a beautiful picture with just a few touches of the brush, but in fact the picture just shines through the sheet of paper that has become transparent. Just need to choose the right thin paper for focus, such as tissue paper.
After you have learned how to do tricks with paper, try to learn how to
Paper tricks are very popular among beginner illusionists and experienced magicians. Such tricks often do not require large preparatory processes and expensive props, so they can be shown at home and even on the street in front of a crowd of onlookers. In this article, you will learn how to learn paper tricks and delight your loved ones with amazing performances.
paper phoenix
To show this trick, you need to take a sheet of paper and cut off a thin strip about 40 cm long from it. Standing in front of the audience, the magician folds the paper strip in half and tears it. Then, he does the same thing, but already folding the two halves together, then folding the quarters, and so on, until he has small equal squares of paper in his hands. The paper strip is completely torn, but the illusionist deftly rubs the torn leaves in his hand, unfolds them, and shows everyone a whole sheet of paper, exactly the same as it was at the beginning of the performance.
Focus secret:
Before starting the performance, you need to prepare props: cut out 3 strips of paper 40 cm long and 3 cm wide. One of the strips should be bent with an accordion to make a 3 × 3 cm paper square, then press it firmly. Next, you need to glue one of the ends of the accordion with the end of a whole paper strip. This completes the preparation of props.
Before showing the trick, place a pre-prepared paper assembly on the table among other items. Naturally, the compressed strip should face away from the audience when folded. When demonstrating the trick, take another sheet of paper and cut off a strip of the exact same dimensions - 40 cm and 3 cm. When it falls on the table with the props, unnoticed by the audience, take not it, but the already prepared glued strip. Hold it so that the folded harmonica is between the index finger and thumb, and thus is not visible to the audience.
When tearing the whole paper, lay its pieces on top of each other to end up with an even square 3 by 3 cm. At the end, all the torn pieces should face the audience, and the harmonica should face you. When you have the same square in your hands, you just have to turn it like an accordion towards the audience, and carefully unfold the structure. After a few seconds of showing absolutely whole paper, crumple all the pieces and the whole paper into one pile, and throw it all on the table, or better in the trash can (no one will climb into it to check the paper ball). Demonstrate to the audience that you have no papers left in your hands, and get your portion of applause.
Important! When unrolling the harmonica, firmly squeeze the torn pieces of paper between your thumb and forefinger. If this is not done, then there is a chance that some part will slip out of your hand and reveal the whole secret of the trick.
magic envelope
Paper tricks are distinguished by their diversity. You can easily use other items in combination with paper, such as flowers, rubber bands, balls or playing cards. The following trick proves this fact.
The magician shows the audience an ordinary envelope, and puts an ordinary playing card in it. Having packed the envelope, the illusionist picks up a needle and thread and stitches through the place where the card should be located. In addition to this, he pierces the envelope and the playing card with a sharp pencil. However, when the magician removes the card from the envelope, it turns out to be completely unharmed, which causes amazement among the audience.
The secret of the envelope trick is extremely simple, and lies in the special preparation of the props. Before the audience arrives, cut an opening in one of the sides of the requisite envelope. The playing card should be placed so that the prepared cut is not visible to anyone. When demonstrating the trick, take the envelope in your left hand so that the slot is at the bottom. At the same time, gently squeeze the edges of the envelope so that the card slides right into your palm. After that, you should take a needle and thread, and pierce the place where the card is no longer there. Do the same with a pencil. Having done these manipulations, carefully put the card back (to do this, just press the envelope lightly against the palm of your hand), and show the audience an absolutely whole card.
Important! Before demonstrating the trick, rehearse the process of sticking the card out of the cut well. This stage of the trick is the most difficult, and with just one awkward movement, the card can fall out of your hand, ruining the whole show.
The power of thought and fire
You already know how to do paper tricks, and now you can move on to tricks with more props. For the next performance, you will need a blank piece of paper, a burning candle and sympathetic ink. We'll talk about how to make this ink later, but for now, let's look at the submission process.
The magician places a clean sheet in front of the audience. 
a paper lover, and says that he can write a word or even a whole phrase with just the power of thought. To do this, he takes a candle in his hand and begins to drive it over a sheet of paper, while whispering incomprehensible words. After a while, the audience is perplexed: words really begin to appear on the sheet themselves.
In fact, this performance refers to simple paper tricks, in which the basis of chemical rules is laid. To show this trick, you need to prepare a special sympathetic ink. Make with different ingredients:
- diluted milk;
- Lemon juice;
- apple juice;
- Rutabaga juice.
Their peculiarity lies in the fact that they disappear on paper, and appear on it only when reacting with an elevated temperature. Now everything is in your hands. Write with these ingredients any phrase on the sheet, and demonstrate to the audience your "power of thought" in the indicated way.
As you can see, learning how to do tricks out of paper is not difficult at all. You can easily surprise your guests simply by having an envelope or piece of paper prepared in advance at home.

I was lucky to watch a program about magicians over the weekend. And so it became interesting, how do they do this? They cut the rope, and then it sticks together, or they cut the paper, and then it turns into a blank sheet. It turns out that there is no magic here - only sleight of hand
Today I will reveal the secrets of several tricks that are done with paper.
Color paper transformations
The magician shows two sheets of paper: on one side - green, on the other - white. Then he folds them in half: one vertically and the other horizontally, and folds them with one, for example, white side out. The horizontal sheet is inserted into the vertical one, after which both sheets are turned out so that the horizontal one is outside. Both are now green. Without pulling out a vertical sheet, it advances it from one end to the other. To the surprise of the audience, he turned himself out and turned white from green.
Focus Secret: A sheet of paper that is folded vertically has a horizontal slit in the center. Inserting a sheet folded horizontally into a sheet folded vertically, pass half of it through the slit outward. If now turn both sheets in the opposite direction, then in a horizontally folded sheet, the halves of the vertical one will look in different directions. Therefore, the sheet changes color if you push its other half.
growing together
Take a paper tape from the table, cut off a strip about 40 cm long and, showing the audience, tear it in half. Putting these halves together, again tear them in half and so on until a stack of paper squares remains in your hands. Now, after rubbing pieces of paper between your fingers, you suddenly unfold a single strip of paper in front of the audience.
Focus Secret: take two identical sheets of newsprint, lay them on top of each other and cut out two identical strips about 3 cm wide and about 40 cm long. Fold one of them like an accordion so that you get a 3 x 3 cm square and press it well. Glue one end of the accordion to the end of the second paper strip. The strip prepared in this way should lie unnoticed on the table among the rest of the props. Now take a piece of newspaper and, holding it over the table, cut off a strip of the same size. When she falls on the table, imperceptibly for the audience, take not her, but the one that was prepared in advance for the trick. This strip must be taken from the table so that the harmonica is between the thumb and forefinger.
When tearing the strip, you must lay the pieces carefully on top of each other, making sure that the harmonica is always facing you, and the pieces of paper - to the audience. When the pieces are the same size as the harmonica, discreetly turn it towards the audience and unfold it. Then, crumpling the strip along with the pieces of paper held by your thumb and forefinger, throw the wad on the table and show the audience that you have nothing left in your hands.
paper garland
To make a garland, you will need two newspapers. First we tear the newspaper in half, and then each half again in half. From the resulting eight quarters, we roll up the roll, with each sheet overlapping the other with an overlap of one third or a quarter of the length. We tear the roll in the middle to half its diameter, and then we make two longitudinal tears. Each is about a third of the length.
The result is an X-shaped gap. We bend the roll in half with a transverse gap upwards, grab the whole paper (the inner layer of the roll) on the fold and begin to pull. This is where the roll turns into a garland.
Envelope and paper tape
The magician takes an empty sealed envelope from the table and opens it with scissors on both sides, then inserts a narrow sheet of colored paper into it; it should appear both on the left and on the right side. After that, the magician cuts the envelope together with the paper from the bottom up into two identical parts, and again shows the sheet - it is whole!
Focus Secret: The envelope must be pre-cut in two places. It is not visible from the opposite side. A strip of colored paper is threaded through these holes. At the same time, its middle part remains outside. When you cut the envelope, the scissors must naturally pass between the envelope and the paper.
Connecting 2 paper clips with a paper bill
You show the audience two paper clips and a dollar bill. Then fold the bill in three and secure the folds in place with paper clips. Next, you begin to slowly stretch the folded bill, and the paper clips move closer and closer to each other. With a sharp jerk, you complete the stretch, the paper clips fly off the bill and fall onto the table, connected in a chain of two links!
Focus Secret: the trick is obtained almost automatically. It depends entirely on the correct placement of the staples. Rehearse it until you can put the paper clips where you want them, quickly and carefully, so that the audience does not have time to notice how it is done, and therefore cannot repeat it.
- First, you hold the bill unfolded with both hands.
- Fold one third of the bill to the right as shown.
- Secure the fold by putting on a paperclip, and put it on completely, until it stops.
- The paper clip should be located at the very edge of the fold, exactly above the number indicating the denomination of the bill.
- Turn the back of the bill towards you, but do not turn it upside down, the paperclip should still be on top.
- Fold the left side of the bill to the right as shown.
- Put another paperclip on top of the fold, which will hold the second fold and only the second: you need to fasten only this fold with the main part of the bill.
- Again, the paperclip should be located at the edge of the bill above the number indicating its value, as shown in the figure.
- If both paper clips are placed correctly, then the bill should look like the one shown in the picture.
- Grasp both edges of the bill near the top and begin to stretch it. The bill will begin to unfold, and the paper clips will move towards each other, remaining on the bill.
- The bill will unfold completely, and the paper clips will fall on the table, connected together!
This trick looks especially impressive if you use large paper clips, which are both longer and wider than usual - in this case it is easy to see how they interlock together. If the paper clips are ordinary, then the jerk should not be strong, otherwise they will fly off the edge of the table and fall to the floor - the effect will not be the same.
