A Mysterious Guess ★
Taking the blue trick box with the lid, ask a member of the audience to choose a
small object, such as a ring, that will fit in the box. Instruct them to put the lid on
the box while you are looking in another direction. Tell the audience you are going
to guess the object chosen. Place the closed box behind your back and quickly take
off the lid and place it on the side panel of the box. Take the box from behind your
back and show the end with the lid on to the audience with the open part facing
toward you. You can see the chosen object while the audience thinks the box is still
intact. Now put the box behind your back and close it completely. Bring the closed
box into the view of the audience again and tell them the chosen object.
The Escaping Ring ★
Effect: Show the audience that you have knotted a ring onto a rope. Then make
the ring magically separate from the knotted rope.
Performance: Take a ring and the rope from your kit. Make a loop in the rope
and pass it through the ring (see figure 1). Take the ends of the rope and pass
them through the loop (figure 2). Show the audience that the ring is knotted onto
the rope (figure 3). Say, “Now I am going to magically separate the ring from this
rope.” Pass your hand over the ring and pull down on the part of the rope that
stretches horizontally across the ring (figure 4) while saying, “Hocus pocus.”
The ring will easily separate from the rope. Show your audience that they are
separated (figure 5).
Where Did the Little Owl Go? ★
Effect: In this trick you will make it appear as if the little owl escaped from the
card cage, and appeared in the magic box!
Performance: Before starting, secretly hide the toy owl in the magic box (do so
by sliding the back wall of the box to the left with your thumb while opening it
to get to the secret compartment; put the owl inside and close the box). Show the
audience the cage in the frame; they should see that it’s empty. Then, slide the
picture out of the frame so that the audience sees the owl in the cage. Put the picture
back in the frame so the audience sees the owl disappear again. Next, show that
your box is empty (slide the back of the box to the right when you open the box, so
that they don’t see the owl inside). Then, wave your wand over the back and open
it again (slide the back wall to the left) and the audience will be amazed to see that
the two dimensional owl in the cage has now appeared in your box in three
dimensions!
Pull down on this
part of the rope.
The Disappearing Owl in the Box ★
With this trick, you can make the owl appear and disappear in your magic box.
Put the toy owl inside the magic box. Hold the box on the back side so that you
can feel that the back wall of the box can slide very slightly to one side. By sliding
the back wall of the box to the right with your thumb and opening the box with
your other hand, you can make the owl disappear. (If you close the box and then
slide the back wall of the box left to its original position, the owl will appear again.)
