I'm especially excited about this week. I've loved magic tricks since I was a kid. I remember Dad getting me a magic kit for my ninth birthday, I perfected each and every one of them in that kit. I couldn't get enough. There was a novelty & joke store in the local mall I used to get a bunch of pocket tricks from and carry them around to practice. I even made up stage names and costumes from Dad's suit jackets and hat collection, performed little shows in the living room every Sunday. I had so much fun!
I'm excited to pass on the same fun I had to the camp kids this week - three older girls with a passion for dance and fantastic attitudes all around - a perfect way to end the summer!
I had put together a basic Magician's Glossary and a few simple tricks for the kids to perform, each needing props and plenty of practice: the I had also thrown in a 'bonus trick' from my early years of pocket tricks, and something that they could do at home.
I can't believe I'm doing this - some of you stage magicians might be a little upset with me, but consider it for the love of art and passing on the craft, so to speak. Take a look at these fantastic and simple tricks - and how you can do them yourself!
