By Bob Carmine

Magic trick for dummies

We generally use to see lot of magic tricks using cards in magic shows. And there lot of complicated card trick are there but as you are a beginner you need learn the basic and simple card tricks first to do the complex one.

Let me tell you a simple magic trick called "Card Levitation". For this magic trick you need a ring, a matchstick and few playing cards. In this trick you place one to four cards under your hand. Then you slowly lift your hand and the card started to float under your hand.

The trick in this beginner's card magic is very simple. Wear the ring in the middle finger of you hand. Insert the match stick in the ring on the bottom side of your hand. Keep your hand in a palm down position on the table. Then keep the cards between your hand and the match stick. Then you place your hand on the table and pull the cards from your hands, and then the cards will fall. Now you slowly lift your hand from the table levitating a card! Yeah! You have performed your first simple magic trick!

Now that wasn't that hard was it? That is one of the more simple tricks out there but there are plenty more just begging to be performed and enjoyed by all.

Kids especially love the art of magic tricks because it involves a lot of volunteers and showing off. Not to mention they love knowing secrets and that is the whole reason any magic trick succeeds to begin with!

Magic tricks almost always have a scientific reason that they work. Just like the old floating ring trick where and salt water soaked string is tied to a light ring. The ring is then lit by a match or lighter and the string turns to ash but the ring remains floating. The secret to that trick is the salt. The salt crystals do not burn and therefore they alone are left are the burning and can actually hold onto the ring for quite some time.

Science and magic come hand in hand. That is why it is a handy and neat thing to show the kids. Magic tricks are a best way of getting children interested in science as well! Parents should share some easy tricks with their kids as well and afterwards teach them how it was done. This will increase you kids interest in science. This fascinating and knowledgeable subject of beginner magic tricks is always great to share with children and adults alike.
