What are your best mind blowers for kids under 5?

@mbinks89 I love these! I call it "Mommy Magic" and do the same thing. Once I told them that I had sneezed while I was cooking and changed all the color of their food. I had used food coloring to dye the mashed potatoes blue, turned their milk pink, that sort of thing.

Daily it was simple stuff, like holding the garage remote in my hand and saying the magic word or snapping, watching the other red light to make mine turn, getting the notice from the ring camera and telling them who is at the door before there's even a knock.

You sound like a fun dad!
 
@lass31 Touch lights have been banned in our house due to both my son's carrying the mothman prophecy genes. They literally play with the damn thing all night long.
 
@andynew We did this with inside of a door frame as kids and I did it until my wrists bled haha Fucking nostalgia, dude. Forgot all about that. Made my day, thanks.
 
@mbinks89 Got a friend that's missing a thumb so he did the detachable thumb thing to a bunch of 10 year Olds. When they called his "obviously fake trick" he opened his hands. It was hilarious. Kids freaked.
 
@mbinks89 Holding the door open with the Force (my boot) and making a big show with my hands and struggling to keep it open, so they hurry and don't pay too much attention to my foot placement. Lol I love that one
 
@mbinks89 Glass, napkin and coin. Twist napkin around glass, have kiddo look at the date on the coin, slide glass into lap while they aren’t looking, put coin under napkin form, slap hand down - magic!
 
@mbinks89 Pull up to a traffic light where there is a cross walk sign - once you pick up on the time lag between the parallel crosswalk opening and your light turning green, you can hit a a magic countdown with the lights! Still fooling my preteen with this one :)
 
@mbinks89 There are quite a few easy card tricks that mostly depend on counting them instead of slight of hand maybe not for the under 5 but they grow up pretty quick so you got to have new material ready
 
@mbinks89 Popping a straw. Take the ends of the straw in your hand and “crank” it so the ends twist tight and compress the air into the center. The kids will be dumbfounded at this strange action alone. Then present the straw to them (don’t release it) with two hands and ask them to give the center a good flick. If they (or your wife) hits it nice and square, it will make pop with a surprisingly loud snap!
 
@mbinks89 Fill a small glass half way with water.

Press a playing card against the top with one finger.

Gently flip the cup upside down and remove your finger from the card.

The water stays in the upside down cup!

(Just make sure the card covers the entire rim of the class)
