Simple Diy Projects

To learn magic, start out with these two easy tricks: First, try making a coin disappear. Tell your audience that you’re going to rub a coin into your skin until it vanishes. First, show them the coin to prove that it isn't fake. Next, place the hand that’s holding the coin on your elbow, and rest your opposite hand under your chin. When you’re ready to begin, start rubbing the coin against your elbow. After a few seconds, “accidentally” drop the coin onto the table. This step is really important, so act embarrassed like you didn't mean to drop the coin. Reach down with both hands to pick up the coin, but secretly use the hand you originally tucked under your chin to pick it up. Tuck that hand under your chin again and continue rubbing your other hand into your elbow for a few seconds. After a while, open your hand and reveal that the coin is gone! Second, try making a coin disappear and reappear using props. First, gather your materials. You will need a wine glass, a coin, a cloth, 2 sheets of construction paper of the same color, scissors, a pencil, and a glue stick. Next, carefully trace the mouth of the wine glass over one piece of construction paper. Neatly cut out the circle. Line a small amount of glue around the mouth of the glass and gently secure the cut out circle on top, trying to line up the edges perfectly. During the trick, this paper will cover the coin, making it “disappear”. After the glue dries, set up your magic trick! Place the coin and wine glass upside down on top of the other piece of construction paper. Now, you are ready to perform the magic trick. Begin by covering the entire glass with the cloth. Then, pick up the glass and set in on top of the coin. Remove the cloth, and the coin has disappeared! Then, make the coin reappear by covering the glass with the cloth again. Lift the glass together with the cloth and the coin has reappeared!What is it about SPRINKLES that make them so eye-appealing? Even these fake clay SPRINKLES look AMAZING!
