Handleiding

Dear Apprentice

Magician,

A magician knows no limits. He can make things

disappear, overcome the laws of gravity, or

perform real miracles with everyday objects,

all without any apparent effort. In reality, of

course, there is no wizardry in this. Behind all

magic you will find clever tricks, simple laws of

nature, and a lot of practice. This magic

experiment kit will show you the truth behind a

magician’s secrets. Best of all, you will learn

how to perform the tricks yourself and astonish

your friends, parents, or grandparents in the

process. That’s a lot more fun that just knowing

how it works!

Tips for young magicians

> Only perform tricks that you have practiced

enough to master. Then, you will have less

stage fright — that funny feeling of anxiety

before a performance.

> Every magician has his favorite tricks and

others he doesn’t like as much.

So if there’s a trick you don’t

really like, don’t perform

it. You will find plenty of

others that you do like.

> Don’t worry that a trick might not

work. If you have practiced it

enough, everything should work

out. And even if things don’t go

smoothly, it won’t kill you.

> Before a trick, think about what

you want to say as you perform it.

Each trick here comes with its own

script that has already been tested

before an audience.

Take-along tricks

Some of the tricks are marked with this pocket

symbol. It means they are easy to stick in your

jacket and perform wherever you’re going

without a lot of preparation required.

Your preparations

For the most part, you will just need a table

that you can wipe off to put your magician’s

materials on. For the tricks that use water, it’s

good to have a rag in case anything tips over.

Orient your table so that all the spectators can

see you easily.

Preparing and practicing the

tricks

Always start by reading through all the

instructions for the trick, so you know how it

works. The “You Will Need” section has a list of

all the magician’s materials you will require.

The “Preparation” section tells you how to get

everything ready. The “Performance”

section demonstrates the

trick the way it will be

performed. Rehearse the

script in the speech

bubbles once you have

practiced the trick

enough to be able to

perform it automatically.

And after your

performance: Return

everything to the box so

it all stays together.

This is how my

suggestions for your

script look!
