Page 6: You Will Need
TRICK 1 The tiger appears YOU WILL NEED INTRODUCTION TO THE CAGE Take a close look at the magic cage. There is a secret flap in the bottom of the cage. This can be bent upward to form a secret compartment in the back of the cage (picture 1). - Page 7 Magic: The Amazing Vanishing Tiger PREPARATION Place the tiger in the back of the cage (picture 3). Bend the secret flap up from the bottom of the cage until it clicks into place behind the hidden latch mechanism on the cage ceiling (picture 4).
- Page 8 Blow up a balloon. Use a balloon pump for this or have an adult from the audience help you (picture 7). Inflate the balloon so that it is slightly larger than the opening of the cage and can still fit inside. Don’t blow it up too much, or the flap of the cage won’t close.
- Page 9 Magic: The Amazing Vanishing Tiger TRICK 2 The vanishing tiger YOU WILL NEED PERFORMANCE Place the tiger on the magic cage. Show the open cage to the audience (picture 1). Tell them that this is a magic tiger that will disappear from the cage.
- Page 10 Flip the cage so its opening is facing up again. Hold your hands — it is easier if you use both hands — as if you are holding an invisible cat treat in your hands (picture 5). Now, tell the audience that they must clap loudly for the tiger, to encourage it to eat the treat and disappear.
- Page 11 Magic: The Amazing Vanishing Tiger TRICK 3 The magical linking rings YOU WILL NEED PERFORMANCE Notice that ring A has a gap in it (picture 1). Hold ring A in your left hand. Position both your index finger and your thumb just above the gap and position your middle finger so that it is covering the gap.
- Page 12 TRICK 4 Linking two rings by rubbing YOU WILL NEED PERFORMANCE Hold ring B with your left hand and ring A (the ring with the gap) with your right hand. Place your right middle finger and your right thumb directly under the gap and cover the gap with the tip of your thumb and your index finger (picture 1).
- Page 13 Magic: The Amazing Vanishing Tiger TRICK 5 Separating two rings PREPARATION Connect ring A and ring B to each other as described in Trick 4 (picture 1). Hold ring A in your right hand and cover the gap in the ring with your index finger and the tip of your thumb.
- Page 14 TRICK 7 The floating wand PREPARATION Hold the wand with your left hand. Grasp your left wrist with your right hand (picture 1). PERFORMANCE With this trick you will make the magic wand float. It is important that your audience only ever sees the back of your left hand.
- Page 15 Magic: The Amazing Vanishing Tiger TRICK 9 The growing wand YOU WILL NEED PREPARATION Take a close look at your magic wand. The two end pieces of the wand are movable. Slide one end piece over until it is almost next to the other one (picture 1).
- Page 16 TRICK 10 TRICK 10 The size-changing banana cards YOU WILL NEED PERFORMANCE This trick is another optical illusion. Put the banana cards directly on top of each other to show your audience that both cards are exactly the same size (picture 1). Then place them on a table with a small distance between them.
- Page 17 Magic: The Amazing Vanishing Tiger TRICK 11 Untying the knot PERFORMANCE Show the empty knot disintegration tube and the rope to your audience (picture 1). Tie a loose knot in the piece of rope. While holding the tube in one hand, hold the rope by one end and lower it into the tube with your other hand.
- Page 18 TRICK 13 The double knot PERFORMANCE Can you make two knots in a rope while always holding it by its ends? In order to do this trick, you first have to practice Trick 12. Hold the rope between your hands, palms up, and not too close to the ends (picture 1).
- Page 19 Magic: The Amazing Vanishing Tiger TRICK 15 The magic balloon PREPARATION For this trick, you need one filled balloon and a piece of paper (picture 1). You will also need to wear a sweater with long sleeves, preferably wool. Without the audience seeing, take the balloon with your right hand and stretch out your left arm.
