95. FINDING MONEY IN A BREAD ROLL
Volunteer magically finds money in a bread roll.
SUPPLIES NEEDED: Any coin, bread roll
SHOW: Have a quarter hidden in your hand. Ask a friend to hand you a bread roll from the table. With one
hand on each end or side of the roll, bend it upward at the same time pushing the coin through the broken
bottom of the roll. Now turn the top toward the group, break it open and they will see the coin on the inside
of the roll. This trick is a big surprise and good magic!
96. MAGICIAN’S FRIEND
A quarter is picked up in your single, bare hand and then it mysteriously vanishes
SUPPLIES NEEDED: A coin, liquid dish soap
SECRET SETUP: Secretly put a dab of soap on your fourth finger.
SHOW: Roll up your sleeves in front of the audience, to prove you're not hiding anything in them. Show the
coin in the palm of your hand. Close your hand and open it. The coin has vanished! As you close your hand,
press the fingertip with the soap on the coin. As you open your hand, the coin sticks to the soap and is
hidden. The audience will be more than mystified provided you roll your sleeves up before doing this trick.
97. PARTY FUN
SUPPLIES NEEDED: A piece of paper
SHOW: Tear a square of heavy paper into nine pieces as in the sketch.
Hand the centerpiece to someone to write a girl’s name. Let the other
guests write boys’ names on all the other pieces. You can tell when
blindfolded, which one has the girl’s name because all four sides are
rough from tearing; all others have at least one straight edge.
98. MAGIC PAGE FINDER
SUPPLIES NEEDED: Storybook and 2 cards
SHOW: Take a storybook and push a card in at a certain page (say, page 50) leaving it sticking out a tiny
bit. When ready to perform, offer the other end of the book to someone and ask them to stick a card in at
random. You will tell them what page they just chose. Now hold the book in both hands to “concentrate”
but as you do so, turn the book around, pushing his card out of sight between the pages. Name the page
(of course naming the page your own card is at,) and open the book to prove it.
99. MORE MONEY MAGIC
SUPPLIES NEEDED: 2 dollar bills, jacket
SECRET SETUP: Use older bills and wad up a few of them. Press them into the inside of your elbow, so
your jacket sleeve folds conceal them.
SHOW: This trick can be made to look like real magic. Borrow a dollar from someone and say that you will
multiply it by magic right before their eyes. Pull up your sleeves to show nothing hidden, and as you do
this, push the borrowed and folded up dollar bill in among the hidden. Take the wad of crushed up dollars
into your hand secretly, and begin to pull out dollar bills – by magic!
100. AN OPTICAL ILLUSION
How many triangles can you count in this star?
Better count them again, because there are 97!
