Easy magic tricks with matches (toothpicks, golf tees, etc.)
CONTENTS:
NOTHING-TO-DO MATCHES (George Blake and Ken de Courcy):A match is inserted in each fist of a spectator, one match head downand one match head up. When the spectator opens his hands the twomatches are now both the same way up.
BACK, BACK AND RESTORED (Ken de Courcy):A match is broken into three pieces. Two pieces are dropped into theleft hand and the head goes into the pocket. The left hand is opened andall three pieces are there. This is repeated. At the end, the match isrestored.
THE TWO THIEVES (Anonymous): You tell a story of two thievestrying to steal chickens, while you are using matches. At the end thespectators will have a big surprise.
PENETRATING MATCHES (Martin Gardner): You show two matches, one in each hand. The matches seem to magically melt through one another.
MAGIC MATCHES (Joe Hustler): A card is covered by matches. Onecard is selected. You tip the card with the matches over and six matchesare seen to reveal one card (say KH): The name of the selection.
TWO-LINE DIVINATION (Ken de Courcy & Murray): You divine the amount of matches left on the table while your back is turned.
MATCH-UP (Ron Batteridge): A box of matches and ten cards areshown. A number between 1 and 10 is freely selected by a spectator byremoving matches from the box and the card at that number is shown tohave been predicted on the box of matches.
THE THREE-PILE DIVINATION (Martin Gardner):While you are not looking, a spectator lays out three piles of matches.He shifts matches from one pile to another. Nevertheless, you know howmany matches are left on the table.
MATCHED PREDICTION ([a=617272 Trevor Lewis]): You place a boxof matches in view. A spectator removes any amount of matches and thisamount determines a card from the deck. That card was predicted by you.
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE (Werner Miller):You show three boxes of matches and a spectator picks one. It is theonly full one, the other two are empty—or vice versa (no force).
