In childhood, the surrounding world seems full of fairy tales and miracles. Parents often want to support this belief in good magic. Therefore, one of the most common and especially interesting themes for a birthday is the evening of tricks for children. To arrange such a holiday, you can invite an animator or prepare yourself. The following examples of tricks will help you in this:
- "Colored water". It will take a can with a lid. The last one should be covered with a watercolor paint on the inside (children should not see this color when doing the focus). For example, let it be green. So, you draw your attention to the fact that you pour ordinary water into the jar. Then say some magic words. For example: "Tutti, frutti, become water as green as grass." And shake the jar. Water will wash away the green paint and become colored.
- Focus is the task. You will need: three glasses (half full of water or empty), a sheet of paper. Put two glasses at a certain distance from each other. Give the children a task, explaining that you need to put a sheet of paper on top of the glasses, and put the third on it so that it does not fall.
The trick is that for successful execution it is necessary to fold the sheet with an accordion. Whoever guesses is entitled to a prize. If there are no such, then you yourself will show the trick and surprise the children.
Foci with cards for children
- "I'll find your card." The simplest and most common focus. Take the deck of cards. Turn upside down with shirts. Invite someone from the children to pull out one of the cards, not showing you. Let him remember it and put his feet down. After that, you take off the polkolody, unnoticed peeps the bottom card. Shuffle. Opening one card, you will find the one that the child has memorized, and you will please him with your find.
- "Red and black." The deck must be divided into two beforehand: red and black. Put one half under the table (on your knees, in your pocket, under a napkin). For example, you decided to leave a deck of reds. Invite the guests to participate in the focus by opening the cards, and suggest choosing one of them, remember it. You at this time turn away and will not see. The card is kept by the participant. You take the remaining pack and mix: above the table, under the table. At this time, change one half to another. Now you have not the red ones, but the black ones. Next, holding the cards face down, ask the guest to put the selected card in the foot, so that you do not see. Then continue to stir. Then look at the cards and easily find the desired card, as it is a red suit among the black ones. Give it to the participant. At this point, you can finish. Or continue, saying that you are now "pokolduete" and the deck of cards will turn black. Say "magic words, move your hands and open the cards."
Some children want to learn the skills themselves to show tricks. It develops imagination, dexterity, artistry, logic.
The easiest focus is that children can show for guests:
- "Apple from the orange." Preparation: you need to carefully peel off the orange peel and put an apple in it, suitable for the size. Prepare a handkerchief for the focus.
- "Pencil in the bottle." You will need: a bottle (better glass, it is more stable), a pencil, a string.
The child holds tightly in his hand a fruit, shows guests. It looks like a whole orange. Next, he covers his hand with a handkerchief. Raises it and - op! - in the hand an apple! To get the focus turned out, the child should take the skin and remove it from the apple with the handkerchief.
Preparation: one end of the rope tightly tied to the pencil, the second - in the child's belt (can be fixed on the buckle belt, for example).
The essence of the focus: we hold the usual pencil in our hand and show the guests, we tell that he is magical, lively and obedient. We lower into the bottle. At the same time, you need to go close to the vessel so that the rope is sufficient, and the pencil easily sinks to the bottom, as if it is not tied. Further, the child beckons him to himself. And the pencil slowly begins to rise up!
Important: in advance accurately measure the length of the rope, train with the child. The thread must be invisible.
In addition, now in stores you can buy a special set for children's tricks, which is also interesting to use on the holiday, and after the birthday can be given to his birthday.
