Tricks with matches are suitable for any audience! We reveal the secrets of tricks with matches How tricks are made from matches.

Tricks with matches are popular among both beginner magicians and experienced illusionists. They can be shown anywhere, at any time: on public transport, on the street among the crowd, at home or even at work. These tricks are distinguished by their simplicity, and their effect exceeds even the wildest expectations.

secret match

Show process:

The magician comes out in front of the audience, and tries to light a match, holding it in his right hand, on the sole of his shoe. But something goes wrong: neither the first nor the second time he fails to do the promised trick, and the audience is perplexed. But the situation is saved by a match suddenly appearing in the left hand, which is already burning with a bright flame.

Secret and preparation of focus:

To show this trick, you need to have two matches with good sulfur heads. You will need the first one to ignite on the sole of the boot. In fact, this process is a red herring, and the main role is assigned to the second. It must be carefully inserted between the material of the jacket and the lining before the start of the trick, so that it is convenient for you to get it at any time.

In addition to matches, to do the trick you will need a ring made from an incendiary sulfur plate from a matchbox. Such a simple ring should be fixed on the middle finger of the left hand. When demonstrating the trick, you need to turn to the audience with your right side, so the ring on your left hand will not be visible, and the attention of the audience will be riveted to the shoe and the first match.

Having made several unsuccessful attempts to light it, and thereby relaxing the vigilance of the audience, quietly remove the second match from the shelter, holding it with your index finger and thumb. As soon as the match is taken out of the jacket, run it against the sulfur ring on the middle finger and show the audience the burning one that has come out of thin air.

"Bermuda" box

Show process:

The magician half pulls out matches in an ordinary box, demonstrating to the audience that it is full. Then, he turns the box face down, and slowly begins to slide the drawer out. The drawer slides out more and more, and finally, the magician completely exposes it, but not a single match falls out of the box. Viewers think that they simply disappeared from the previously full box. But here they are wrong. The magician turns the box over to its original position, opens it, and shows that the matches are back in place.

Secret and preparation of focus:

The secret of this trick is extremely simple. Before the performance, it is enough to push one match across the box just below its middle. Thus, it will act as a restraining object when the matches are upside down.

Important! Before demonstrating the trick, it is necessary to correctly calculate the size of the match, which acts as a crossbar. Naturally, it should be shortened so that it fits across the box. This must be done with particular precision so that it fits right into the box. Otherwise, there is a chance that during the trick it will simply slip out of the box.

As you can see, tricks with matchbox and simple matches are easy to perform, and everyone can learn such tricks. You can always show the learned trick at home or in any other place where these items are available. In addition, you can always carry a few prepared matchboxes with you, demonstrating your perfect tricks to new viewers.

Knowing how to do magic tricks with matches, you can always surprise both a small child who is delighted at the sight of a self-appearing flame, and an adult who does not understand where additional matches come from in your hands.

It's good to be able to do magic tricks! To become a good magician, you need to study physics, chemistry and other sciences. Without knowledge of the laws of these sciences, you cannot imagine a good trick. Tricks with matches the laws of nature and patterns that magicians use are also used. Let's get acquainted with some easy magic tricks and try to do them yourself.

Lighting a match

You will need: a burnt match.

Announce to the audience that you can light a burnt match. First, invite any viewer to do this trick, take a match out of the box, set fire to it, then put it out and pass it on to the viewer. Of course, he won't succeed. Now take the burnt match out of the ashtray yourself, say some magic words and, in front of the astonished audience, strike it against the box, light the match.

Lighting a burnt match - The secret of the trick.

Of course, the match is prepared in advance. Sharpen a little leg near the head in advance and paint over this part with black ink. From the auditorium it will seem that the match is burnt. Put it in a matchbox or ashtray, memorize its location and prank the audience.

Miracle match

You will need: 2 matches, 1 handkerchief.

You ask the audience for a match and tell them to mark it. After that, take a handkerchief and wrap the marked match in it. After that, ask someone from the audience to break it. The spectator, without suspecting anything, breaks the match. After that, you unfold the scarf, and ... the miracle match turns out to be intact!

Focus secret.

The trick is that in a scarf hemmed along the edges, in the corner under the filing, you hide another match. But you should put the handkerchief on the table so that the hidden match is at the bottom left, in the bottom filing. Then you fold the scarf as follows: turn the top edge towards the middle, and put the right one on it. It is this match that you let the audience break, or you break it yourself. Everyone thinks that a marked match breaks.

Focus with matches and coin

You will need: a coin, 2 matches, a matchbox.

Open the box a little, connect two matches with their heads to each other and stick one into the box, rest the other on the lid, placing a coin under it. The task of the trick is to remove the coin from under the match without touching it. Light the matches. When they burn out and go out, you can easily get a coin.

Focus secret.

When both matches burn out, the one that is tilted and rests against the coin will rise slightly, a gap will form, the coin will slip into it. To do such a trick for the audience, you need to practice.

Focus with laying out matches

This trick can be shown anywhere, even in nature. No special props are needed: either a box of matches, or simple sticks, short, but all of the same length. All viewers can be involved in solving these problems:

The essence of this focus task is that you lay out geometric shapes from sticks or matches and ask the audience how to make others out of these figures, only by shifting or removing matches or sticks, and show them yourself.

Magic wand and matches

You will need: a saucer of water, a stick, matches, soap, a sugar cube.

Fill a saucer three-quarters full with water. Take matches, break them into small pieces and put them in water. Take a stick, touch one end of it to the water, and the pieces of matches will come close to it. Touch the other end of the stick to the water, and the pieces of matches will disperse from the stick.

Focus secret.

Lubricate one end of the stick with soap in advance, attach a piece of sugar to the other end. Pieces of matches are attracted to soap, and repelled by sugar.

Matches and handkerchief

You will need: a box of matches, a small handkerchief.

Show the box full of matches to the audience. In front of the audience, pour out all the matches and put a handkerchief in an empty box. Close the box and open it again. Spectators should see that the box is full, there are matches in it again. To make the audience believe that the matches are real, you can even light one of them.

Focus secret.

Pre-stick the exact same label on the back of the lid. Stick one row of matches on the back of the box, but so that two matches can be removed. When you, demonstrating a trick, pour matches out of the box and put a handkerchief in it, then imperceptibly from the audience you need to turn the boxes over. And since there is a label on both sides of its lid, when you open the box again, the audience sees one row of pasted matches, but they will have the feeling that the matches fill the boxes.

Fancy box of matches - simple trick

You will need: a homemade matchbox-like box.

Show the audience a box of matches. Slide it halfway out of the lid. Then, turning it upside down with a hole, move it back). It should appear on the other side of the lid, but again with a hole up, despite the fact that you turned it over.

Focus secret.

The boxes must be cut in advance into two identical parts and connected by turning one upside down, the other upside down. Glue them with tape or thin paper. No matter how many boxes of matches are turned over, it will always be with the hole up.

Simple tricks with matches

These are, of course, very simple tricks, and there are many interesting puzzles with matches. The main thing is that for these tasks you need to have an ordinary box of matches in your pocket and a surface on which all this can be laid out.

Focus question.

How to make three out of ten matches?

Answer. You need to put five matches and add five matches to them, so that you get the word "three".

Focus question.

How to get a hundred out of 9 matches? If at the beginning you have 4 matches and are allowed to add 5 more?

Answer. The first four matches are laid out by the host, the remaining 5 matches are laid out perpendicularly, turning the matches into letters of the word "STO"

Focus with a house of matches

How to turn the Nif-Nif pig's house from 11 matches to the other side by adding 2 matches?

See the picture for the answer to this riddle.

After you have learned how to do tricks with paper, try to learn how to

For the trick you will need a table knife and a matchbox. Take the matchbox so that one of its narrow side faces is at the bottom.

Slide the knife in from the top side edge as if it were cutting the box from the top to its center, and start moving the knife as the arrow shows. The box shouldn't actually slide through the table knife, but you can do it.

Focus secret: The table knife is the most common. The tricky device has a matchbox. Firstly, a box filled with matches has a rectangular recess near the narrow upper side face, half the length of the matchbox, and this recess is removed from the sulfur heads of the matches in the box.

Secondly, the matchbox case has a slot where the knife enters. This slot extends from the center of the narrow upper side face to the center of the case.

This trick looks especially impressive if it is demonstrated at a fairly fast pace.

Poke through with a nail - from top to bottom - a matchbox filled with matches. After that, quietly slide the box halfway out on both sides of the case. It will easily slide over the case, despite the fact that this is prevented by a nail!

In the matchbox itself, there is a long slot as thick as a nail, which just makes it possible to slide the box along a vertically inserted nail.

The nail itself does not move, as it is fixed by the through holes of the case. The secret slot will not be visible to the audience when the box is pulled out of the case, since it will be covered from the inside with matches filling the box.

Turn the matchbox upside down. Make two holes in the center of the lid, close together. Through these holes, connect both parts of the box with an elastic band and, pulling it, tie it with a ring.

Open the box. Hold it in your hand, slightly squeezing the edges. If you now release the boxes, then under the action of the rubber band, it will close on its own. You can open it from the opposite side and repeat the trick. You can even throw an open box on the table - it will also close.

education

Hold the closed matchbox in an upright position with your left hand. Bring your right open palm closer to it and slowly raise your index finger up. Obeying the movement of the index finger, the box of matches will move out of the case.

The secret of the trick: When preparing, you need to remove the matchbox from the case, and cover the case with an ordinary rubber band. After that, the matchbox should be pushed back into the case, while pushing the elastic band into it.

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

Show a ruler with three holes at one end along the center line of the ruler, and insert a match into the lowest hole.

A wave of the 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.

The secret of the trick: Three holes are drilled on each side of the ruler. But there is only one of them through (it is shaded in the figure). The other two are drilled deep, but not through.

Spectators think that all three holes are through. There are also three holes on the other side, and only one is also through (it is also shaded in the figure).

If we compare the location of the holes on both sides of the ruler, then on one there will be a through hole at the very bottom, and on the other in the center. It is worth while swinging the ruler quickly enough to turn the other side, it will really seem to the audience that the match jumped from the lower hole to the middle one.

Three out of four

Lay four matches on the table in a row. Then ask the viewer, without removing a single match, to make sure that three matches remain.

Without knowing the secret, no one can do it. And you just lay out the number "3" with four matches.

Instead of matches

Open the matchbox. It is filled with matches. Slide the box drawer back into the case. When you open it again, coins will fall on the table from it.

The secret of the trick is in the box. Both sides are labeled with the same labels. The box itself is divided by a partition into two parts, and also has partitions at the top and bottom half the length of the box.

They serve to ensure that when showing matches, coins do not fall from below, and when showing coins, matches do not fall. Before the focus, one compartment is filled with matches, and the other with small coins. In focus, the box turns over imperceptibly.

You will need a properly prepared matchbox. With a sharp knife, make a slit in one of the ends of the drawer of the box, as shown in the figure. That's all the preparations.

The focus itself is very simple. You show a matchbox. Open it and put a coin in it. You shake the box and the viewer hears the coin move inside.

Then you hand the box to someone in the audience and ask them to open it. Having done this, the viewer is usually surprised to find that instead of one coin, there is another in the box.

Focus secret: How it's done is shown in the picture. When you put the first coin into the box, it slides out through the slot and into your hand.

You immediately close the box and shake it so that the viewer can hear the coin rattling inside. In fact, this is the second coin that, as you can see in the picture, was previously sandwiched between the edge of the box and its lid. When the box closes, the coin gets inside.

The secret of focus lies in the precision of movement and manual dexterity. In the palm of the hand in which you held the empty box, a metal "chocolate" was hidden from the audience. A needle and thread was inserted into this empty box with the other hand.

Having pulled out and put the needle and thread aside, with the same hand push the box out of the case into the palm with the "chocolate".

As soon as the metal plate falls into the drawer, turn the palm of the drawer up. Remove it from the palm of your hand and show the audience the "chocolate" that has fallen out of it, in which they will not find any hole through which a needle and thread could pass.

The audience will be very surprised, as they thought that the metal plate was in the matchbox from the beginning to the end of the demonstration.

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

Focus Stripe on hand from a match

For this trick, you only need a match and a box to light this match. The magician lights a match and waits until it burns almost to the middle. After that, the magician extinguishes the match and waits for the tip to cool. The magician breaks off the burnt head to make an impromptu charcoal at the end of the match, which can be used to draw.

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

The secret to the focus of the charcoal strip on the hand is that the line is drawn obliquely across the natural crease line in the palm. As a rule, the 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 the drawn strip into a fist. The second hand does not participate in this trick at all. The magician shows his hands again, now there are already two coal lines on his palm. Not only children who are shown this trick, but sometimes even adults start looking in the second hand for a hidden spare match or something else.

Focus with a match and a handkerchief

For this trick, you need a medium-sized handkerchief, you can use a large handkerchief with stitched edges and, of course, matches.

Description of the handkerchief and match trick. The magician takes a handkerchief, wraps a match in it and breaks it in front of the audience. Spectators distinctly 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 the match is completely intact.

The secret trick with a handkerchief and a match. Beforehand, a scarf for the focus must be prepared. It is best to take a large handkerchief with folded and stitched edges. It is desirable that the edges on the scarf be wide, because you need to insert a match into one of the stitches in one of the edges. Now the focus itself. The magician takes another new match and defiantly wraps it in a handkerchief. At the same time, the magician must hold on to the match, which was previously inserted into the edge of the scarf. The magician breaks the first match (inserted into the handkerchief) with a crunch and theatrically unfolds the handkerchief. A whole match falls on the table. That first match inserted into the edge of the handkerchief can be used to demonstrate the trick several times, breaking it in different places.

Focus standing on a match

For this trick, you only need one match.

The magician puts an ordinary match on his index finger. From above, he holds it with his thumb. After the magician removes his thumb, the match remains in a vertical position.

This trick is more of a joke for the youngest children. The secret to the stick-on-finger trick is to lightly dampen your fingers to keep the match standing. Press the match harder with your thumb against your index finger. When you carefully remove your thumb, the match, with its lower end glued to your index finger, will maintain balance for some time.

Focus fork and spoon balancing on a match

For this trick, you will need the usual fork, tablespoon and match. The magician takes a fork and connects it with a spoon in one piece, inserting a tablespoon between the extreme teeth of the fork. Next, the magician fixes this design to the edge of the match by inserting the match between the middle prongs of the fork. The magician puts the other edge of the match on the glass, and the construction is in stable equilibrium. The fork and spoon do not fall and you can even gently turn the glass without disturbing the balance.
