Funny Magic for Funny Kids
Any Child Can Learn Magic!
The only prop your child needs for this trick is a willing volunteer (perhaps your spouse).
Your child asks the volunteer to do the following:
- "Think of a number between one and 10."
- "Multiply that number by nine."
- "Add the digits of your answer."
- "Subtract five."
- "Figure out the letter of the alphabet that matches your number. One equals A, two equals B and so on."
- "Think of a country that starts with that letter."
- "Pick the last letter of that country's name."
- "Think of an animal that starts with that letter."
- "Pick the last letter of that animal's name."
- "Think of a color that starts with that letter."
- "Now think of the country, animal and color all at once."
