When it comes to fun family entertainment, consider teaching
your child old fashioned magic tricks. This is a great way to kill time while
waiting for an event to start or to stop those annoying questions of “are we
there yet?” while driving in the car. Consider bringing clever magic tricks
with you on vacation or camping trip so you children will have no complaints about
being bored. You can find magic tricks at any speciality store or even your
child’s favourite toy store. Many magic tricks do not require any additional
materials, besides the old standby of a handkerchief or a bright, shiny penny.
One fantastic option for individuals wishing to teach their
kids magic tricks are the Klutz series of books. These books teach kids,
“tweens,” and teenagers all sorts of things, from different ways to braid hair
to how to perform a variety of tricks using an old-fashioned wooden yoyo. In
addition to in-depth instruction especially for the younger crowd, these books
include several accessories that are necessary for performing the task. From
their instruction book on magic tricks to their instruction book on card
tricks, the Klutz series are perfect for any individual of any age looking to
learn magic.
A quick trip to your favourite bookstore or local library
will result in a plethora of books that will provide you with step by step
instruction when it comes to teaching your child magic tricks. From classic
tricks that are sure to elicit a chuckle to in-depth slights of hand, magic
tricks, and illusions that will wow all audiences, you are sure to find out how
to perform each task with in-depth step by step instructions that anyone will
be able to flawlessly follow.
Consider bringing some necessary tools for teaching the
specific magic tricks along on a long plane or train ride so your kids can do
something more productive than mindlessly playing video games or argue. This is a
great idea if you are travelling to a city with a renowned magic shop, museum of
magic, or show that features world-class magicians. For instance, if you are
travelling to Las Vegas to see the fantastic Lance Burton, teach your kids a few
magic tricks along the way to make the show hit closer to home.
Magic tricks are great for school or club talent shows in
which your child wishes to participate. Quite often, children are left at a
loss when it comes to participating in talent shows and may feel left out if
they cannot think of a talent that has not been chosen. Everyone sings or
dances on stage at a talent show, but few children can don a magic hat and cape
and perform astounding tricks of slight of hand or illusions. Learning magic
can boost a child’s self-esteem, especially when he or she finally gets the
gist of the trick and is able to flawlessly perform the trick in front of an
audience. Who knows, your child may be the next great magician and they will
only have you to thank for showing them basic magic tricks!
