How To Amaze With Magic
The Amazing Sugar Cube
Can you make a pencil mark that has been placed on a cube of sugar pass mysteriously through water and onto the hand?
On any one side of the cube of sugar draw a heart, a number, or a cross with heavy strokes. Pick up the cube and press your thumb firmly against the drawing. The mark will come off the sugar and show on your thumb. (As this is the secret of the trick, do it quickly so it will not be noticed.) Drop cube in glass of water.
Pick up your friend's hand and quickly press your thumb firmly against the palm of his hand as you are drawing his hand toward the glass.
Place his hand over the glass of water and tell him to keep it down firmly. Hit the glass a sharp tap with the pencil, saying, "I am now releasing the vibrations."
Then tell your friend to look at his hand. He will see the mark and will think it came through the water onto his hand!
Materials: Soft lead pencil, cube of sugar, three-quarters of a glass of water.
The Dollar Bill and bottle Trick
Can you remove a dollar bill from under a bottle without touching or upsetting the bottle?
Place the bottle upside down on the bill, either on a table or the bare floor. Roll up the bill carefully, touching only the edges of the bill so that your fingers do not come in contact with the bottle. As you roll the bill, the bottle will be pushed along until it is finally off the bill.
Materials: Dollar bill and pop bottle.
The Magician's Assistant
Can you remove a coin from under a cup without touching the cup?
Place one coin on a table, put the cup over the coin, and tell your friends that you are going to remove the coin without touching the cup.
With the second coin, which you have kept concealed in your hand, tap the table from the underside just under the cup, saying, "Here is that coin."
Naturally, your friend will then pick up the cup to see if the coin has disappeared. Now you quickly pick up the coin that was under the cup and say, "I told you I could pick it up without touching the cup." Your friend has unwittingly been a magician's assistant!
Materials: Two coins and a cup.
The Last Match
In this game, can you figure out how to make sure that your opponent always picks the last match?
Arrange fifteen matches side by side on a table. Tell one of your friends that you can always make him pick up the last match, each of you alternating in picking up one, two or three matches at a time. It doesn't matter who starts.
The secret of this trick is to make certain to leave five matches on the table for your opponent the third time around. Then, no matter how many matches he picks up, he will lose the game. For instance, if he picks up one, you take three, leaving the last one for him. Or if he picks up two, you take two. If he picks up three, you take one. In each case, the last match is left for him.
Following are two of the several combinations you can use to arrive at the point of leaving the five matches for your opponent.
Opponent You 15M
3 1 11
Take 2 2 Leaving 7
1 1 5
Or
1 2 12
Take 2 1 Leaving 9
3 1 5
Materials: Fifteen matches.
You will amaze and delight your friends with these simple tricks.

Great Bar Magic Tricks
There are so many great bar magic tricks you can try out. Just to give you an idea, here are a few which will tell you what equipment you need and how to do it.
The first is called the sucking glass trick because you are trying to make beer go into the glass with touching the beer itself. For this you will need an ashtray, an empty pint glass, some beer, a box of matches and a coin.
When everything is ready, you pour a shallow layer of beer into the ashtray. You then place a coin in the middle of the beer, light a match and place it horizontally on the coin. You take the empty glass and place it over the coin and match and within seconds, a vacuum will cause the beer to be sucked into the glass.
A similar trick is called Push the Glass. Here, you push a small glass through the handle of a beer mug without touching both glasses. For this, you will need small glass, a beer mug and a straw.
Once you put everything on the table, you take the straw and stick it through the handle of the beer mug and push the small glass with it. This enables you to push the small glass through the handle without touching either of the two.
The next trick is called the Olive Bridge. Here, you make the olive leap over a hurdle and into a whisky glass. For this to work, you will need an olive, a brandy glass, three whisky tumblers and a straw.
You set it up by placing the olive on the bar and the brandy glass nearby. Put two whisky glasses upside down six inches apart from the olive with the straw between the two like a hurdle. The third whisky glass should be placed another 6 inches away from the hurdle but this one should be with the opening facing up.
Now put the brandy glass upside down and over the olive. Hold the base of the brandy glass and start twirling it around as this will create a centrifugal force that will cause the olive to rise and spin around. Keep working on it as you are moving this over to the hurdle. Once it is over the hurdle, stop twirling and then drop the olive in.
The next trick is called the corker. Here, you are trying to get the cork out of a bottle without breaking the glass. For this, you will need a silk scarf, an empty wine bottle and a cork.
You place the cork into the bottle and then grab a scarf by holding it in two diagonally opposite corners. You guide the center of the scarf into the bottle without letting go of the corners. While you are holding the bottle horizontally, you can move the cork onto the side of the scarf loop that is formed and be able to pull out the cork without breaking the bottle.
There are other magic tricks you can do. You should just work on them so that with a little practice, you get the admiration of the audience rather than embarrassing yourself. So do some research and have some fun. After all, drinking alcohol is just one of the things you can do at a bar.
