Magic Tricks for Kids
Learn to do Magic!
Kids magic tricks can help children tremendously in building their self-confidence. When getting started there are a few rules to remember when performing them. Here are 10 things a true magician must always remember.
1. Never tell anyone how a trick is done.
2. Practice each trick over and over again until you can do it perfectly without mistake every time.
3. Make absolutely sure all your props are in perfect working order and look good – no scruffy wands or hats.
4. Keep your audience directly in front of you. Don’t let them sit beside or behind you.
5. Don’t repeat a trick in front of the same audience. They are only trying to figure out how the trick works.
6. Don’t tell your audience what you are going to do. It is better to let anticipation and suspense build as you perform your trick. You can however talk to your audience while performing your trick because this will help distract them.
7. Use expressions and gestures to enhance your act. For example, you can frown to show you are concentrating hard, or stand still without speaking to gain your audience’s attention.
8. Once you have learned a trick and can perform it, you can alter it. This can be great fun!
9. Practice and perfect the story you tell while performing each trick – it’s what makes you different from another person who performs the same one.
10. Perform against a dark background under a good light.
Whether you just want to have fun with your kids magic tricks or become a master magician it is very important to know that being able to do this tricks enable you to play with people’s minds. Use it in a positive way.
One of our favorite magic tricks is the Pena Coin trick.
A quarter magically penetrates through a piece of rubber sealing the top of a glass. An empty glass is shown with an opaque sheet of rubber stretched over the top and fastened with a rubber band. On top of the glass, two coins rest. The spectator selects a coin and without any false moves, you push the coin through the rubber sheet. The spectator watches in disbelief as it penetrates the rubber and falls with a loud clink into the glass below! Immediately, you hand everything out for examination. There are no holes in the rubber and no gimmicks or extra coins. You are left clean as a whistle. Based upon a clever principle, you’ll be able to perform this trick just minutes after reading the instructions. Pena-Coin comes with three re-usable rubber sheets. Use your own glass and rubber band. Pena-Coin works with any coins – US, UK, Canadian coins, etc.
I like to have the spectator push the coin thru. Having them do the magic so to speak. They feel it and hear it going thru. And yet when they examine the rubber sheet there is absolutely no holes in it. Great close-up trick.
You can use any house hold glass.
Each trick includes 3 rubber sheets and full instructions.
Rubber sheets are about 5″ x 5″ square.
Get the Pena Coin trick for only $6.95 each.
Also available in quantity for only $5.56 each.

Yes golfing gags have been around forever, but if you haven’t checked lately there are some pretty cool ones now.
Ok, you and your buddies are always playing practical jokes on each other. Your wives or girlfriends have of course, called your pranks juvenile. And your response was probably something along the lines of “Yeah, so?” Is that pretty close? Is that going to stop the pranks and jokes? Not on your life.
So you need a new prank or joke and you have a golf game coming up, sounds perfect. Yes golfing gags have been around forever, but if you haven’t checked lately there are some pretty cool ones now.
What about the JetStreamer Ball, it shoots out a long red ribbon on impact, that just might be a little of a distraction. And don’t forget the Unputtaball Golf Ball that when chipped or putted it will skip, gyrate and do everything but go in a straight line. This one will have them ready for the 19th hole a little early.
Wipe the smirk off the best player in your next foursome with devious trick golf balls. Nothing is more likely to frustrate a player than an excellent hit that is met with one of the most irritating pranks available on the green.
Or what about the Pop-a-Putt. Pop-a-Putt pops the ball right back out of the hole! During a lull in the action, slip the spring-loaded device into the cup. On the next successful putt, watch the incredible shock on their faces when the ball pops right back out of the hole!
Hey you are only young once, so have a ball. Check out all the golf fun at Pretty Great Fun!

Best Prices on Juggling – Best way to Learn to Juggle
Yes, YOU Can Become a Great Juggler!
Have you wanted to learn to juggle, but the juggling balls “for dummies” you found at the store frustrated you more than helped? We feel your pain! That’s why we’ve put together this everything-you’ll-ever-need professional package just for you. We think this Ultimate Juggling Set is
“The Best Way to Learn to Juggle”.
The juggling balls you’ll find at the store are fun, but frankly, they’re not weighted correctly and feel like heavy bean bags. What you need are professional juggling balls. Combine this with the best instruction we’ve found using DVD technology that allows you to freeze frames, and you’ll look and feel like a pro juggler in no time! We have even included a set of Juggling Scarfs.
About the DVD…
On the Juggling Made Easy DVD, professional entertainer and juggler Jeff Reid teaches you how to go from beginner juggler to expert juggler. Jeff’s high energy will inspire you to become great! He’ll start with juggling basics and give you a chance to freeze frames in order to master the fundamentals. Jeff gives clear, specific explanations, making it very easy. Once you’ve mastered the basics, Jeff shows you some pretty neat tricks and routines. He also teaches you how to juggle with clubs and rings.
About the Juggling Balls…
This is a 3-ball set of professional juggling balls (with illustrated instruction booklet), not your run-of-the-mill balls you’ll find at the store. Each multi-colored ball is red, yellow, blue and green and fun to watch in the air. Each ball weighted at about 3.6 ounces, they are easy to use and help keep a rhythm and balance while juggling. They’ll last forever.

Scarf Juggling: or the “Finding the Levity in Gravity”. These Juggling Scarfs are made of a soft chiffon light weight silky material and are about 18″ square. Each set includes one each red, green and yellow scarf. Considered to be “The Best
Way to Learn to Juggle”. An illustrated step-by-step manual is included.
Do you know the definition of scarf?
Scarf; [a verb]… to slam down food so fast you don’t even taste it, as in; “Wow! Did you see that dude scarf that burger?”
About the Juggling Clubs…
Once you’ve mastered the basics with juggling balls and you see Jeff Reid juggling with clubs, you’ll definitely want to try clubs. But, have you seen the price of good juggling clubs (when you can find them) lately? Yikes! We think juggling should be fun… maybe even profitable for you. So, you will also receive these professional’s choice juggling pins. You’ll receive three professional juggling clubs (with illustrated instructions), each with an easy-grip surface for more precision juggling.
