Hey guys i am juz bored....and may i ask wat tricks is good to perform for someone on their birthday??? I am thinking of doing magic during people's birthday and save some cash on buying present...hehehe.
PLease suggest some magic tricks which is cheap to perform and very shocking...

thankz....


Hope to hear good replies from all of u all :D

"-.- Juz spend the money on a gift and then give it to ur frenz.

it is the though that counts and not the price of the gift.

Unless u are trying to impress everyone in the party that u can do magic. Then thats different.

I can say that never try to do magic in a close frenz's birthday party because the chances u screw up is very high. With people around u and flaming on u. Well it is so dangerous.

I did it on a few frenz's birthday before, but i onli do it when most of them have left and onli him and a few is still around, then the situation can be handled easily. :)

I agree with Larry. It's the thought that count. Don't save a birthday gift and use magic as a substitute. Unless you're gonna produce the present using magic. Ok I don't know what I'm saying...

The birthday trick! Where he/she signed on the blue back cards, do a few routines and show him/her that the card he/she had just signed turned into red back card! and whats more is, it has a birthday message on the back! <_<

Isnt that Dark Card? Hahaha.

I think performing on Birthdays isnt veyr nice, its like turning the Spotlight to you the Magician, instead of the birthday boy/girl.

Maybe like Larry said, when half the people has left, its alright to show a couple of trick but dont overdo it. :P

hey guys thanks for the good advice...
Btw what's dark card?Wat Dvd or book can i learn that trick...it sounds cool

Its a packet trick, available from dealers from Murphys here, or you can just go to Magic Castle/Street Magic to purchase it right away. Its $30 there.

I bent some cutleries for my parents' birthday this year into an art piece, and glue them on a stack of cards. When I was presenting it to them, i wrote birthday words on a piece of paper and burn it, followed by rubbing the ashes on an Ace of Hearts where the messages appear on it. They were so touched!

This will save you money, and they will have a gift and also magic. ;)

hey guys thanks for all the great ideas...i guess i gonna try the ashes trick...

LOL! Does it REALLY work as a 'touching' present?

I am not sure, maybe you should try to know? Mr. Justin

Good one, i will try it.

You know, the ring in the rose. :P :wub:

hmm...ring in the rose is kinda weird for a 16 year old to gib as a present...haha...maybe when i grow older and when i find a girlfriend to marry,i will consider the ring in the rose...

Yeah i agree with dtjk, you shouldn't perform magic in a birthday party of your friend unless he/she invites you to do it to entertain his/her crowd. you don't want to steal the attention of the birthday girl,boy.

You won't want another magician to steal away your audience during ur performance rite?
