Feel a Ghost Magic Trick

Effect:

You are sitting in front of your friend, and nobody else is near. You take your index fingers and place them on your friend's eyes as they shut their eyes. Then, your pal feels one thing whisk past their head, then brush on their shoulder, then they really feel a faucet!

Secret:
This ghost magic trick is one among my all time favorites to show to people who find themselves simply getting started in magic, or, after you do a couple of other tricks, this is one which it is possible for you to to go on to your viewers members.

No sleight of hand required for this magic trick. This is the way it works.

Step 1) First, have your pal look across the room. Level out that it's only the 2 of you, however you have been seeing some ghosts lately and you want to do a seance to see if you can conjure up a ghost.

Step 2) Inform your buddy you would like them to close their eyes in a moment. Take each of your index fingers and gently place them on the closed eyelids of your friend. Make sure that they see that your index fingers are coming closer to their eyes, and that they close their eyes nearly an inch before you contact their eyes.

Step 3) Fast - this is the magic trick a part of this -- as a substitute of touching them with each the index fingers, right as they close their eyes, contact them with both the index finger and little "pinky" finger. (Or your thumb and little finger). They are going to think that both your index fingers are touching their eyes, however now you have one hand free! You possibly can say you're doing this since you wish to ensure that your ghost friend does not want to bee seen!

Step 4) Now that I've explained the secret, it's essential not to go over the sting with this, in the event you really need it to freak your folks out. First, do not simply faucet them on the shoulder. Take your hand and just barely whisk it by their ear or gently contact their ear.

Step 5) After you do the slight contact or whisk, bring your fingers back to in front of their face, level both index fingers on the eyes, and slowly deliver your palms away from their face as you ask them to open their eyes. Once they open their eyes, they will see exactly what they saw a second in the past before they closed their eyes. Is not that what a ghost would do?

Step 6) They're going to be pretty freaked out at this level, so they could want to do it again. In the event that they agree, do the very same factor above, however this time do something barely different. They'll be ready for you to tap them or touch their hair again, so do one thing barely completely different, to surprise or catch them off guard. You may rub your fingers together next to their ear -- so that they'll hear spooky issues -- or you could possibly pull on the shoulder of their shirt. The important factor to do here is to not go overboard, since you do not want to give away that it was your hand doing those things. Make them think that perhaps you may have achieved something else, perhaps you blew on their hair, or perhaps you by some means else did it. They're going to never know that it wasn't really a ghost!

Listed here are some other tricks to make this trick work. First of all, the secret is pretty simple, in order you read this, you might suppose that it's not value trying. Mistaken! Really this can be a really robust trick, it's enjoyable as a result of it would not use what people may think are trick playing cards, trick cash, or fancy sleight of hand. So it is an entire totally different space than most of the other magic tricks we describe on this net site. Also, the venue is necessary too. In the event you can wait till a spooky moment -- maybe after a scary film, or round Halloween, it can make a extra lasting impression. Also, don't give away the key instantly, let it creep them out for a few days. For those who do this properly, it's going to send chills up their backbone each time they think about the trick.

This can be a great magic trick to teach kids, as a result of it is pretty simple to do. Additionally, another is to touch your fingers proper above their eyes, or on their eyebrows, but I find the opposite good factor about touching their eyes is that it guarantees that they will not attempt to open them.
