Pierce the middle of the match without a pin with a pin, push it to the middle of the bow, fasten the pin. Holding the pin with your left hand, with the index finger of your right hand, sharply pull one end of the match toward you, as if you want to draw it through the adjacent handle of the pin. When it hits metal, your finger should slip off of it. The audience will think that the match really went through the bow.

Secret Focus:  When it hits a metal, its end bounces off the arch, describes a semicircle, being on the other side. The eye does not have time to follow its movement, while there is a complete illusion of penetration through the arch.

Match restoration

Restoration of a broken match in the hands of the viewer with the subsequent disappearance

Match prophet

Cut off the head from the match with scissors. Poke it with a pin in the middle. Move to the middle of the pin. Now you are ready to make a real miracle. Tell the viewer of your choice that this appliance can fulfill wishes, ask the viewer to conceive it. Then say that if the match passes through the metal, then the wish will come true, if not, then it will not be fulfilled. Holding the pin with your left hand, put the index finger of the right hand behind the match, then pull it towards you, it will go through the metal handle of the pin. Therefore, the desire of the viewer will be fulfilled.

Focus Training:  Pull the match toward you, as if trying to stretch it through a pin. When it is firmly pressed against the metal, your finger should slip sharply from it. The audience will think that the match will pass through the metal. A click of a finger will make it bounce off the wire, describe a semicircle, hitting the same wire from the other side. The match went through the metal. Even after numerous trainings, this focus may not work out right away for you, but you made sure beforehand that you told the viewer that his desire would not come true, ask for a new one. The focus looks more impressive if the viewer himself performs it without knowing the secret. You can give the viewer a try, but hold the pin with your own hands. You must be sure that you gave the viewer instructions correctly, otherwise the focus will not succeed.

How to break a match without touching

Take a match in your hand, set it on fire, allowing it to burn to the fingers with which you hold the match. The match became brittle. Hold the match in your hand, and with your free hand make 3 circles around and the match is broken.

Secret Focus:  When you make 3 circles around a match, at the end of 3 circles sharply pull your free hand to the side, at the same time click with the fingers with which you hold it. Everyone will think that you made it an invisible thread.

Focus ignition of a burnt match

A magician in front of the viewer lights a burnt match!

Learning Tricks:  Home preparation required.
   1. Set a match on fire. Wait until it burns to the middle, extinguish. This will be your sample.
   2. Take another burned one, carefully cut the “waist” with a knife. Try to make it as similar as possible to a burned one. Without touching sulfur!
   3. Paint the prepared model with a black marker.
   4. Now showing the focus, you can strike a “burnt” match into the box. She will definitely light up!

Focus Three Piles

The performer turns his back to the audience, one of those present puts three piles of matches on the table so that the number in piles is the same, greater than three each. The viewer calls a number from 1 to 12. The shower asks the viewer to redistribute them in some (special) way in heaps. Although the indicator did not know the initial number of matches in piles, but the average pile with a given number.

Secret Focus:  At first, the viewer is asked to take three matches from the extreme heaps, transfer them to the middle one. Then he must count the remaining in one of the extreme piles, take this number of matches from the middle pile, transfer them to any extreme one. Since after this, there are always 9 matches in the average pile, it is now quite easy to get the given number (this will require only one movement).
   How many matches are clenched in a fist?
   The following focus is built by a similar principle, for the display of which boxes with 20 matches are needed.
   Showing, turning his back to the viewer, asks him to stretch out a few matches (no more than ten) and put in his pocket. Then the viewer recounts the remaining. Let's say there are 14. This number he “writes out” to the table as follows: the unit is represented by one match placed on the left, and the four by four, placed somewhat to the right. These five matches are taken from the remaining ones. After that, the matches depicting the number 14 are also put in your pocket. The viewer takes out a few more from the box, clamps them in a fist.
The indicator turns to face the audience, pours the matches from the packaging onto the table, immediately naming the number of matches held in a fist.
   To get the answer, you need to subtract the number of matches scattered on the table from the number nine to find out what kind of coin it will be. When repeating the focus, add a few coins to the leg, then the account will end in another place.

Four equals three

Lay out the table four matches, one after another. So that there is no doubt in quantity, count them out loud. Now invite viewers to make 4 matches3 without removing a single one.

Secret Focus:  If they fail (and most likely it will), then show how to do this by adding the number "3" from them.

Focus on palm of boxes

Pick up an ordinary matchbox, put it on the outside of the wrist. At your command, he himself begins to rise, fall.

Focus Training:  No devices are needed to demonstrate this trick. Take the box and rotate it so that when you open the open box would face your hand. Hook the box with a little hand skin and close it. The skin should remain inside, and he, in turn, is located at the level of the base of the thumb. But each person needs to individually find a place for pinching the skin. When lowering the thumb down, the skin of the hand is pulled, the box rises. When raising a thumb - falls.
   During training, pay attention not only to the correct choice of a place on your hand to grip the skin, but also so that the movements of your thumb are invisible to the audience. The remaining fingers should remain motionless.

Burning match

Having stepped on the stage, you try to light a match, holding it with your right hand, on the sole of the shoe. Striking one, the other - all in vain. Suddenly, a burning match suddenly appears in your left hand.

Secret Focus:  You will need two matches. You will try to light one on the sole of the boot. The second is secret. You place it in advance between the lining and the jacket material. The head of this match should protrude slightly from the shelter so that its love moment can be extracted from there.
In addition to the secret match, you need to prepare a ring glued from a plate with gray from a match box. This ring you put on the middle finger of your left hand. Keep your left hand so that the audience does not reveal the secret of focus. Trying to light a match with your right hand on the sole of the boot, you should stand with your right side to the audience. With your left hand you are pulling a secret match from your jacket, holding it with your index and thumb. By invisibly striking a match on a ring worn on the middle finger, you light it and show it to the audience.

Focus with moving

Secret Focus:  Two packs of matches are used. Take one match from one, tuck it under the box, as is sometimes done with a burned match. Then push the drawer out a little. In the second, also make a secret in advance - to one side of the case, glue the bottom of the paper and draw the boxes in front of the focus also out of the box.
   Put both packages on the table, with “secrets” to you. Then, taking the first one, pull out completely the box with matches from it and at the same time leave the match imperceptibly nested inside the case, pressing it with your thumb. Carefully place the case on the table vertically so that the match does not make a sound with its movement. From the second, also remove the drawer, and put the case on the table downside down. Now omit the first case for two matches (together with the match put in advance there will be three), which the audience is not aware of. In a second case, lower one match. If both cases are now lifted simultaneously, then three matches will fall out of the first, and nothing will fall out of the second. She will remain inside thanks to a bottom-secret, and the audience will think that the match has moved.

Six boxes

On your hand you have six matchboxes behind each other, Do not fall, do not crumble!

Focus Training:  The lowest one is without a box. You press the box on the top so that the box moves a little closer to the bottom box closest to it, thereby pushing down all the boxes next to it to the lower boxes. Each box will hold the top one, you can handle them not so carefully - they will not fall.

Our dedicated group

Keep the closed matchbox upright with your left hand. Zoom into his right open palm and slowly raise your index finger up. Obeying the movement of the index finger, the box with matches will be pulled out of the case.

Secret of focus: When preparing, you need to remove the box with matches from the case, and cover the case with a regular rubber band. After that, the box with matches should again be pushed into the case, at the same time sliding the elastic band into it.

Having done this, it is necessary to hold the case firmly in your hand, pressing the drawer trying to crawl out with your finger. And showing focus, slightly weaken the pressure. Then the very effect will turn out as if the drawer is being pulled out thanks to the action of your finger.

Show the ruler, at one end of which there are three holes located along the center line of the ruler, and insert the match into the lowest hole.

A wave with a ruler - and the audience sees that the match was already in the middle hole. A new swing - and the match moved again to the lowest hole.

Secret Focus: Three holes were drilled on each side of the ruler. But there is only one cross-cutting of them (it is shaded in the figure). The other two are drilled deeply, but not right through.

Viewers think that all three holes are through. On the other side there are also three holes, and also only one through hole (it is also hatched in the figure).

If we compare the location of the holes on both sides of the ruler, then on one will be a through hole at the very bottom, and on the other in the center. When a wave is swung quickly enough to turn the ruler on the other side, the audience really thinks that the match jumped from the bottom hole to the middle.

These tricks are most consistent with the principle of our collection of tricks for children, because these tricks are simple to perform, and most importantly, as a rule, the only the props of these tricks is a regular box of matches. So here are some tricks for children with matches.

Focus Strip on a hand from a match

For this trick you only need a match and boxes in order to light this match. The magician lights a match and waits until it burns out almost to the middle. After that, the magician extinguishes the match and waits for the tip to cool. The magician breaks off the charred head to make an impromptu piece of coal at the end of a match that can be drawn.

The magician shows the audience his palm, and then, in front of the audience, draws a line with a match three to four centimeters long in the palm of his hand. Further, the magician defiantly puts the match in a place visible to the audience and hides both hands behind his back. After uttering some kind of magic spell, the magician again shows both hands with open hands. Moreover, on the palm on which the line was drawn, the line is no longer one, but two carbon strips crosswise.

The secret of the focus is the carbon strip on the hand is that the line is drawn obliquely across the natural fold line on the palm. As a rule, a line is drawn almost from the base of the ring finger towards the little finger and down to the wrist. After the magician hid his hands behind his back, he actually clenched his hand with a drawn strip. The second hand does not participate in this focus at all. The magician again shows his hands, now on his palm are already two coal lines. Not only children who are shown this trick, but sometimes even adults begin to search in the second hand for a hidden spare match or something else.

Focus with a match and a scarf

For this trick you need a medium-sized scarf, you can have a large handkerchief with stitched edges and naturally matches.

Description of the trick with a scarf and a match. The magician takes a handkerchief, wraps a match in it and breaks it in front of the audience. Spectators clearly hear the characteristic crunch of a breaking match. After that, the magician waves his handkerchief, and the match falls from the handkerchief onto the table. Only a match is absolutely whole.

Secret trick with a scarf and match. Previously, a scarf for focus must be prepared. It is best to take a large handkerchief with folded and pointed edges. It is advisable that the edges on the scarf are wide, because in one of the buildings in one of the edges you need to insert a match. Now the trick itself. The magician takes another new match and defiantly wraps it in a scarf. In this case, the magician must hold on to the match, which was previously inserted into the edge of the scarf. The magician with a crunch breaks the first match (inserted into the scarf) and theatrically unfolds the scarf. A whole match falls on the table. The first match inserted into the edge of the scarf can be used to demonstrate focus several times, breaking it in different places.

Focus on a finger match

Only one match will be needed for this trick.

The magician puts an ordinary match on his index finger. From above he holds her thumb. After the magician removes his thumb, the match remains in an upright position.

This trick is rather a joke for the youngest children. The secret of the focus is a match on the finger is that in order for the match to stand, slightly moisten your fingers. Stronger press the match with your thumb to the index finger. When you carefully remove the thumb, the match, sticking to the index finger with its lower end, will maintain balance for some time.

Focus fork and spoon balancing on a match

For this trick you will need an ordinary fork, a tablespoon and a match. The magician takes the fork and connects it with the spoon in one piece, inserting a tablespoon between the extreme teeth of the fork. Further, the magician secures this structure to the edge of the match by inserting a match between the middle teeth of the fork. The magician places the other end of the match on the glass, and the structure is in steady balance. A fork with a spoon does not fall and you can even gently rotate the glass without disturbing the balance.
