Dating back to the early days of magic, magicians have always been partial to eggs. I don’t know if it’s because they are readily available or because they have the potential to make a mess or both. There are hundreds of magic tricks that incorporate eggs, so I thought I’d share one with you now.

The trick is called “Egg Changed into Confetti.” The effect of the trick goes like this. Put an egg in one hand, wave a fan in front of it, and voila the egg explodes into a cloud of confetti.

The secret, or the cause, is simple. Follow these simple steps.

* Choose as white an egg as possible.
* Pierce a large hole at one end of an egg.
* Empty the egg, rinse it and dry it.
* Fill the egg with confetti.
* Paste a piece of paper over the hole.
* For added effect, place the prepared egg back into the container with the other (unprepared) eggs.
* When ready to do the trick, pull the prepared egg out of the container.
* Fan the egg aggressively and suddenly crush it in your hand and allow the fanning to spread the confetti in the air. The eggshell fragments will fall to the ground with the confetti and should go unnoticed.

First up, the following trick.

Right, this is a very simple trick and simply involved a little bit of sleight of hand and misdirection in order to succeed. Get together an audience and then get one person to pick a card out of your deck of cards. When they are memorising the card then you simply need to be turning over the card that is at the bottom of the deck. It will then be facing the other way and you should turn the pack over so that it appears as a regular pack of cards. Now get them to put the card back into the deck and then tell them that you are going to magically discover the card they chose. Simply put the card behind your back and then turn the top card back over. Tell them that the card they chose has been flipped the other way around and then let them check through the deck to find it.

Next try out the count down trick.

This is another very simple trick to master. Kick off by shuffling up the pack and then quickly memorise the bottom card of the deck. Now say that you will drop the card out of the bottom of the deck and get someone to say so when you have done about ten – it will not actually matter if you do over or under this number. When they say stop then stack up the dropped cards, placing the bottom card at the top. Now show this top card to the participant and not yourself and then ask them to reshuffle all of the cards. Now all you have to do is go through and pick out the card that they say on the top.

These two simple tricks will be sure to baffle your friends at the next social gathering you attend.
