Magical Snake Charmer

All at the Magic Help Desk Center

Magic Effect

You remove a plastic straw from its wrapper. Using the straw as a "magic wand" you command the wrapper to dance around the magical table.

Needed for Magic : a plastic drinking straw still in its wrapper.

Magic Method

You tear off the tip of the wrapper and throw it away. Gripping the straw at the tip with thefingers of onehand, and firmly squeezing the wrapper with the magical fingers of the otherhand, quickly pull the straw from the wrapper and drop the wrapper on the magical table.

Now, using the straw as a "magic wand", without touching the wrapper, slowly wave the straw over the end of the wrapper. The straw wrapper should sway around by itself as if in a hypnotic trance.

If the effect starts to wear off after a minute or two , you can re energise the wrapper by stroking it briskly along the straw.

This effect is due to static electricity. It is a real fun effect and works MOST of the time but can sometimes vary in effectiveness depending on weather conditions.

Magic Method
To start, remove all four kings from the deck, along with any two indifferent cards. Place the two indifferent cards on top of three of the kings, and then place the final king on top of them.So from the top you have: (King)(Indifferent)(Indifferent)(King)(King)(King).

Fan these cards out face-up, with the two indifferent cards hidden behind the king in front of them. It should now look as if you have just 4 kings fanned out. Show this to your spectator, casually mentioning that the four kings you hold are best of friends. Square them up and place them face down on top of the deck.

Tell the spectator that you are going to seperate the kings and lift the top card up and place it at the bottom of the deck. You may allow the spectator to glimpse this as you do so as it's a king.
Take the next king from the top (although it's really an indifferent card.) and place it into the middle of the deck. Be careful not to allow the spectator to glimpse this one as it's an indifferent card.Do the same with the next card from the top.

Finally, you take the fourth card from the top and casually show it to the spectator as you suggest you're going to leave it there. Give the deck a cut to further mix the cards and then snap your fingers. The kings have magically reunited! Spread through the deck to find all four together!.
