@mbinks89 Mine is mesmerized when I spin any disc-shaped thing on its side.

@mbinks89 my 4 year old's mind was just blown the first time she touched a mirror with steam on it. She was so surprised bc she thought it would be hot

@mbinks89 Putting our noses together, and wobbling our heads while looking at eachother’s eyes.

@mbinks89 I've learned more and more close-up magic.

A relatively simple one I do with two pennies: when they're not looking, put a penny under a soap or hand sanitizer dispenser where it can be vaguely seen. Make sure there's soft carpet or some such on the floor beneath it.

Make another penny disappear in view of them (similar to quarter behind the ear). "Magic" it "into" the dispenser.

Now, in a single motion, grasp the dispenser with great prestige (depositing the under-penny soundlesslyvon the aforementioned soft carpet) and "dispense" the penny back into your hand, AND step on the under-penny, obscuring it from view.

I did this the first time months ago, and they are still reeling from it!

@mbinks89 Just the basic hide something small they are looking for in your hand and make it appear behind their ear trick works amazing. My 6 yo still comes up to me asking to check if the thing he has lost is behind his ear.

@mbinks89 I can make the windows in the car go up or down just by commanding them to. It only works for me though.

@mbinks89 Click/snap to make a coin disappear! If you pull it off correctly, a coin balanced on your finger will literally vanish with a click!

Wear a long sleeved jacket / coat / blazer then balance a coin on the tip of your outstretched index finger. With your other hand, click/snap so that your middle finger (the one that makes the sound) hits the coin - to do this, you'll need the palm of your clicking/snapping hand to be facing down. The coin will be hit off your finger and shoot up the sleeve of the hand that clicked. It happens so quickly you can't even see it move!
