By Bob Carmine a magician and introduced many Beginner Magic Tricks

There are 1000s of magic tricks. Some tricks done by professional are very difficult and far beyond the abilities of beginners who just started learning magic's. Some famous magicians out there are the famed Seigfried & Roy who enjoyed using white tigers to do their bidding and helping in almost every magic trick and illusion that they performed.

You may also remember great magician David Copperfield, who one among the great magicians was able to disappear the statue of liberty in front of the entire nation! The oldest of magicians would be the famous Harry Houdini who perform illusion after illusion and finally pushed himself too far and accidentally drowned himself while locked and chained upside down in a barrel of water.

Why I am saying all those things it is because all those great magician started there carrier as beginner and learnt the basics. You have to crawl before you can walk in life and the same goes for in the world of Magic and Illusions. If you want to start your magician career to should start with beginner magic tricks. Ever one has to start somewhere right?

One easy magic trick to do is called "Reading your Mind". This magic trick is best to start out on an easy one. Start out this trick by using some clear tape and wrap it around your right thumb. Just ensure that the sticky side is on the outside. Break the tip off of a pencil and press it to the bottom side of your thumb on the tape. Try to keep this act hidden from your audience by doing it beforehand or at least very discreetly so that your audience does not see. Make sure you have a note book or notepad of some kind.

Announce to your audience that you can read minds and you will now put a number and a shape on the paper. Make a huge deal about how you are writing on the paper when really you aren't writing anything at all. Hide the paper or notepad from your audience and get a volunteer to come to you. Ask them to pick a number from one to ten. As they answer you secretly use your thumb with the pencil tip on it and write the number on the paper. Just make sure your audience sees you acting like you are concentrating and not writing anything! Then, do those same things after you ask them to name a shape. Viola! Show your audience the paper with their shape and number on it and watch as they are amazed on how you have accomplished the reading of a mind!

Beginner magic tricks and just about every magic trick out there are just tricks and nothing more. With a little preparation, some props, some help with volunteers, and some good acting and you can entertain many with a few tricks that are well hidden up your sleeve.
