That One Trick

Published by theadequate at 8:31 am under Magic, Random Edit This

Ok. I know I have more than a few magicians reading this blog now (Hi, folks!)

If you had to choose one, and just one trick to carry around with you - not one item but one trick which you would do when demonstrating your skill in a casual environment … that would that trick be?

I’ve thought about this a lot and to be honest, I have to go with Dan Harlan’s Starcle from his “Impromptu Magic” series. I like it because it’s quick, it’s pretty, suprising, and you can do it with any square or squareish piece of paper. Even a tissue from a tissue box (as I learned on a visit to the dentist the week before last).

… of course, I think I might, if pushed, go for one of the goofy things out of Mac King’s book Tricks With Your Head for the schitck of it.  There’s something about the Hiccup Cure trick that just amuses the heck out of me.

What trick would you choose?
