Magic Tricks You Can Do At Home
The first is called the Everlasting Ash Trick. The objective here is to smoke the cigarette without letting any of the ash fall off. For this, you will need a cigarette and a paper clip.
Before you begin the trick, straighten the paper clip and carefully stick this down to the cigarette as close to the middle as possible. You have to be sure that no one sees the paper clip before performing this trick so that when you light it, no ash will fall off.
Another magic trick you can do with cigarettes is the Bending Cigarette Trick. Here, you tell people you can bend a cigarette stick without breaking it.
What you need for this trick is a cigarette, a lighter and a drink. Now, you dip one end of the cigarette to your drink so at least half a centimeter is wet. You then light the other side and take a big puff. After two seconds, you will be able to bend the cigarette without bending it.
You can win every time you try the Tricky Coin Toss regardless if the other person calls it head or tails. This is because you have another coin tucked under your ring finger so if ever they call heads; you just flip it over and then present this as the coin which you flipped in the air.
If you have some friends over for some beer, you can entertain them with the bottle cap trick. Here, you tell them that you can move the bottle cap up the side of the bottle until it is upside down by only using your forefinger until it reaches the top of the bottle and then back down again onto the table.
You perform this trick by pushing the bottle cap to the top of the table making sure that it sits there upside down. You gently roll the bottle top around until it is balanced on the edge so you can get your finger underneath it. To bring it down, you simply the bottle cap over and go the opposite way.
The glassblowing trick can be done with two straight pint glasses. Here, you tell your friends you can make the inner glass come out of the outer glass without touching either of the two glasses. This is accomplished by blowing very hard into the gap between the two glasses and within seconds, the inside glass will pop out.
The Egg trick is something you can do when everything you need is in the kitchen. You will need a shelled hard boiled egg, a box of matches, some paper and a beer bottle. When all of the materials are ready, you set this on the table.
The objective of this trick is to get the egg into the bottle. To do this, you take a piece of paper and set fire to it. Afterwards, you place the burning paper into the bottle. You now place the egg on top of the open bottle and within moments, see the egg get sucked into the bottle.
The magic tricks mentioned are very simple to do. With a little practice, you will be able to do this perfectly even with a larger audience.

Performing a Vanishing Magic Trick with a Coin
The hand is faster than the eye and this is so true once you have mastered performing the vanishing magic trick with a coin. The key to this trick is the position of the coin and for this to work; you will need two of them.
The first you have to do is lay one coin in the palm of each hand. The coin on the left should be placed in the middle of the palm. The coin on the right should be near the thumb.
In one quick motion, you should flip both hands and then let it face down on the table. You must quickly move the coin on the right hand to the left without anyone noticing then twitch the right thumb a bit to deceive people into thinking that both coins are there.
You then ask the audience where the coins are. The deception you caused earlier will make many believe that the coins are on the right but when you open it, they are wrong because the two coins are both under your left hand which they will see when you open up your hand.
This trick can also be done with the opposite hand. You should just put one coin in the middle or your right palm and the other coin near your left thumb then repeat the instructions as mentioned before.
Again, the key to this trick is the position of the coins. When you rotate your hands from palm up to down, the coin in the center stays put while the other shifts the coin to the other hand. You have to do this very quickly so the audience does not suspect what happens. If you don’t follow the proper positioning of both hands, one coin will flick away and your trick will fail.
One way to practice this trick is to imagine your hand is a table tennis paddle. If the coin is in the center of your palm, this will make sure that the coin will stay in the same place when it lands. As for the other, something different happens.
This helps you move the coin from one hand to the other so when you lift the hand containing the coin, people will see two and not one.
The speed at which the coin travels from one hand to the other varies. The more time you have to practice, the better so even when people ask how you do it, you simply say “a magician never tells how he does his tricks.”
The vanishing magic trick using a coin is just one of many tricks you can do. There are also variations which you can learn and try out so those who watch you won’t feel bad always seeing the same thing. A lot of these can be found online while there are a few that are written down in books with pictures to guide you along the way.
When you are ready, try to do this with a friend first and see if you are successful. If it works, then perhaps it is time to try this out in the presence of strangers. In any magic trick, just remember that positioning is everything and this can only be achieved with patience and practice.
