🌟 Top 10 magic tricks for a talent show
Ours, all ten: every trick on this list is from Peabody's Magic Shop, free, with picture steps read aloud by Flick.
A talent show is not a party. The audience is far away, the lights are bright, there may be no table, and there is one go. Every trick here passes the same rule as the talent-show page: big enough to see from the back of a hall, something that floats, vanishes, appears, changes, passes through or mends, done standing up, with no dark, no mess and no grown-up step, and none takes days to learn.
Then they are ranked for the stage. Tricks already in one of our ready-made shows come first, because they have an order and words that work in front of people. After those, tricks with a helper from the audience, since a helper walking up gives the hall something to watch. Pick three, practise the whole act out loud five times, and do it once for the family with the lights on.
How it is ranked: The talent-show page's rule (a trick the back of a hall can see, Conjurer level or easier, standing up, no grown-up step, dark, mess or drying time); ranked first for tricks in our ready-made shows, then for ones with a helper, then quickest to learn. Checked against the shop on .
