Every person known to be interested in magic is likely to be asked at any time to do some tricks. Or oftentimes a party or group can be entertained with some magic that will baffle the onlookers.
All of the tricks in this book can be done without any expensive or elaborate equipment. However, there are a few simple and proven rules that will add fun to your performance.
Always practice every trick alone or with a trusted friend, until you really know how to do it easily. Then you wont be caught sometime forgetting how a trick is completed.
A part of every magicians equipment is his line of chatter which he keeps up when showing off to the audience. You cant be talking to the audience if you are wondering if your trick will come off, so learn it well before you show it.
When going out on a party, take along a few of the simple things mentioned in this book, so you will have on hand all you need for the tricks you want to do.
The tricks and magic in this book are mostly new and will give everyone a lot of fun.
These tricks are especially good ones to know. You can practically always get hold of one or more rings in any gathering.
Most of the tricks described here are ones that can be done without secret preparation.
EFFECT: A spectator is given a piece of string about three feet long and is asked to tie the ends around the magicians wrists. When this has been done, the magician borrows a ring from a member of the audience and turns his back for a moment. When he turns around again, the ring is securely knotted to the middle of the string, which must be cut or untied to remove the ring.
SECRET: The trick is accomplished as follows. Push the center of the length of string hanging between your wrists through the ring, thus forming a loop. Slip this loop over your right hand and wrist, bringing it to a point below the string that already encircles your right wrist. Then pull the loop underneath the string around your wrist and bring it back over your right hand, passing it from the back of the hand to the front. You will find that the ring is firmly knotted then to the middle section of the string between your wrists.
This is one of the most surprising of the impromptu tricks that can be done with rings. It will repay you to master it, as you can do it at any time.
EFFECT: Several rings are borrowed from the audience and the largest is tied to the middle of a piece of string about two feet long. The other rings are then threaded over the two ends of the string by a spectator, so they rest above the first ring. Two spectators now hold the two ends of the string, and a handkerchief is thrown over the rings. The magician holds his left hand, palm upward, beneath the rings and puts his right hand beneath the handkerchief for a moment. Almost instantly the rings fall down into his left hand, having been magically released from the string.
SECRET: The way in which the first ring is fastened to the center of the string is the secret of the trick. The string is doubled and the looped end is pushed through the ring. The two ends are then passed through the loop and pulled as far as possible, thus securing the ring in a loop. This appears to be a perfectly tight knot, but it can be undone in a moment by simply drawing the loop down over the ring. The string will then pass through the center of the ring, and all the rings will be released and fall into your hand.
This is an instantaneous passing of solid through solid, a very surprising effect.
EFFECT: One end of a looped string is passed by the performer through a ring and the other end is then passed through the first loop. The drawing shows how this is done. Two spectators are then asked to hold the string at the places marked A and B, while the magician grasps the loop at C. The spectators are asked to pull the parts they are holding clear of the ring and to pull on them steadily. The magician, meanwhile, pulls gently but firmly on his part of the string. Now the magician suddenly exclaims, Pass! and the ring instantly drops free of the string!
SECRET: You magically cause the ring to be released by simply letting go of the part of the string that you are holding. It all happens in a flash and to the audience, it looks as though the string had been drawn right through the solid metal of the ring.
This is an excellent mystery, for it is worked so quickly that what happens appears to be absolutely impossible.
EFFECT: The two ends of a piece of string about eighteen inches long are tied around the performers wrists. He then takes in one hand a large metal ring or bracelet which the audience has examined to make sure it is solid. The magician turns his back for a moment or steps behind a screen, and reappears immediately with the ring threaded on the string between his wrists.
SECRET: This trick requires a little preparation, for it is done by the use of two identical large metal rings. You can get these at any ten-cent store. Before presenting the trick, slip one of the rings over your right hand and wrist and push it up your arm beneath your coat sleeve so it is well concealed. Now, as soon as you turn your back or step behind a screen, put the other ring in one of your pockets (a vest pocket if you turn your back) and pull the ring on your arm down over your hand and so onto the string.
The beauty of this trick is the speed with which it can be done and a little practice to insure smooth and rapid execution will be well repaid, as the effect is truly startling.
One of the very best ring tricks, but one that requires thorough practice. Learn it well and you will be able to do it well.
EFFECT: The performer borrows a ring, puts it on his left palm, and closes his hand over it. A handkerchief is then fastened over his closed left hand by a rubber band slipped over hand and wrist. Another handkerchief is then fastened over his right hand in the same way. Now, says the magician, I propose to make the ring in my left hand travel up my sleeve, across my chest, and down my right sleeve into my right hand. Which finger of my right hand would you like it to go to? The audience chooses, say, the first finger. The magician flutters his left fingers, shakes his left arm, moves his shoulders (to help the ring on its way), and then shakes his right arm as the ring travels down it. The rubber band and handkerchief are removed from his left hand, which is found empty. When the handkerchief is removed from his right hand the ring is found on the first finger!
SECRET: As described above, you place the ring on your left palm and close your left hand over it.You must then turn your hand over and raise it chest high, with the left arm slightly bent. Next ask the audience for a handkerchief and take it in your right hand. Throw it over your closed left hand to completely cover it.
