Pierce the middle of the match without the head with a pin, move it to the middle of the bow, fasten the pin. Holding the pin with your left hand, use the index finger of your right hand to sharply pull one end of the match towards you, as if you want to pass it through the adjacent bow of the pin. When it hits the metal, your finger should slide off. It will seem to the audience that the match actually went through the bow.

The secret of the trick: When it hits the metal, its end bounces off the bow, describes a semicircle, and ends up on the other side. The eye does not have time to follow its movement, and a complete illusion of penetration through the bow arises.

Match recovery

Restoration of a broken match in the hands of a viewer followed by disappearance

Match prophet

Cut off the head of the match with scissors. Poke it through the middle with a pin. Move to the middle of the pin. Now you are ready to perform a real miracle. Tell the viewer you have chosen that this device can make wishes come true, ask the viewer to imagine it. Then say that if the match passes through the metal, then the wish will come true, but if not, then it will not come true. Holding the pin with your left hand, place the index finger of your right hand behind the match, then pull it towards you, it will pass through the metal bow of the pin. Consequently, the viewer's wish will be fulfilled.

Focus training: Pull the match toward you, as if trying to pull it through a pin. When it is pressed tightly against the metal, your finger should suddenly slide off it. It will seem to the audience that the match will go through the metal. A snap of the finger will cause it to bounce off the wire and make a semicircle, hitting the same wire on the other side. The match went through the metal. Even after numerous trainings, you may not succeed in this trick right away, but you have secured yourself in advance by telling the viewer that his wish will not come true, ask him to make a new wish. The trick looks more impressive if the viewer performs it himself without knowing the secret. You can give a spectator a try, but hold the pin with your own hands. You must be sure to give the audience the correct instructions, otherwise they will fail the trick.

How to break a match without touching it

Take a match in your hand, light it, letting it burn down to the fingers with which you hold the match. The match became brittle. Hold the match in your hand and with your free hand make 3 circles around and the match will break.

The secret of the trick: When you make 3 circles around the match, at the end of 3 circles, sharply jerk your free hand to the side, while simultaneously snapping the fingers with which you are holding it. Everyone will think that you did it with an invisible thread.

Focus igniting a burnt match

A magician lights a burnt match in front of the audience!

Training tricks: Home preparation required.
1. Light a match. Wait until it burns to the middle and put it out. This will be your sample.
2. Take another unburnt one and carefully cut out the “waist” with a knife. Try to make it as similar in shape as possible to the burnt one. Without touching the sulfur!
3. Color the prepared model with a black marker.
4. Now, showing the trick, you can strike a “burnt” match on the box. It will definitely light up!

Focus three piles

The performer turns his back to the audience, one of those present places three piles of matches on the table so that the number in the piles is the same, greater than three each. The viewer names some number from 1 to 12. The person showing asks the viewer to redistribute them into piles in some (special) way. Although the person showing did not know the initial number of matches in the piles, there was an average pile with a given number.

The secret of the trick: First, the spectator is asked to take three matches from the outer piles and move them to the middle one. Then he must count those remaining in one of the outermost piles, take this number of matches from the middle pile, and move them to any outermost pile. Since after this there are always 9 matches left in the middle pile, it is now quite easy to get the given number (this will require only one move).
How many matches are held in your fist?
A similar principle is used to construct the next trick, which requires a box of 20 matches to perform.
The demonstrator, turning his back to the viewer, asks him to pull out several matches (no more than ten) and put them in his pocket. The spectator then counts the remaining ones. Let’s say there are 14 of them. He “writes out” this number on the table as follows: one is represented by one match placed on the left, and four by four, placed slightly to the right. These five matches are taken from the remaining ones. After this, the matches representing the number 14 are also placed in the pocket. The viewer takes a few more out of the box and clutches them in his fist.
The demonstrator turns to face the audience, pours matches from the packages onto the table, immediately calling out the number of matches clutched in his fist.
To get the answer, you need to subtract from nine the number of matches scattered on the table in order to find out what kind of coin it will be. When repeating the trick, add a few coins to the leg, then the count will end in a different place.

Four equals three

Place four matches on the table, one after the other. So that there is no doubt about the quantity, count them out loud. Now ask the audience to make 4 matches into 3 without removing any.

The secret of the trick: If they fail (and most likely they will), then show them how to do it by adding up the number “3”.

Focus rising on the palm of the boxes

Take an ordinary matchbox in your hands and place it on the outside of your hand. At your command, he begins to rise and fall on his own.

Focus training: No equipment is needed to demonstrate this trick. Take the box and turn it so that when you open it, the open box is facing your hand. Use the box to catch some of the skin on your hand and close it. The skin should remain inside, and it, in turn, is located at the level of the base of the thumb. But each person needs to individually find a place to pinch the skin. When you lower your thumb down, the skin of your hand tightens and the box rises. When you raise your thumb, it goes down.
During training, pay attention not only to the correct choice of place on your hand to grip the skin, but also to ensure that the movements of your thumb are invisible to the audience. The remaining fingers should remain motionless.

Burning match

Once on stage, you try to light a match, holding it with your right hand on the sole of your shoe. You strike once, twice - all in vain. Suddenly a burning match suddenly appears in your left hand.

The secret of the trick: You will need two matches. You will try to light one on the sole of your shoe. The second one is secret. You place it in advance between the lining and the jacket material. The head of this match should protrude slightly from the shelter so that it can be removed from there at any time.
In addition to the secret match, you need to prepare a ring glued from a plate with sulfur from a matchbox. You put this ring on the middle finger of your left hand. You should hold your left hand so that the audience does not reveal the secret of the trick. When trying to light a match with your right hand on the sole of your shoe, you must stand with your right side facing the audience. With your left hand, you pull the secret match from your jacket, holding it with your index finger and thumb. By imperceptibly striking a match on the ring on your middle finger, you light it and show it to the audience.

Focus with moving

The secret of the trick: Two packs of matches are used. Take one match out of one and tuck it under the box, as is sometimes done with a burnt match. Then pull the drawer out a little. In the second, also make a secret in advance - glue the bottom of the paper to one side of the case and also pull the drawer out of the box in front of the focus.
Place both packages on the table, with the “secrets” facing you. Then, taking the first one, completely pull out the box of matches from it and at the same time leave the unnoticed match inside the case, pressing it with your thumb. Carefully place the case on the table vertically so that the match does not make a sound as it moves. From the second one, also remove the drawer and place the case upside down on the table. Now drop two matches into the first case (together with the match put in there in advance, there will be three), which the audience will not realize. Place one match in the second case. If you now lift both cases up at the same time, then three matches will fall out of the first, and nothing from the second. It will remain inside thanks to the secret bottom, and the audience will think that the match has moved.

Six boxes

On your hand you have six matchboxes standing one after another, They don’t fall, they don’t crumble!

Focus training: The bottom one is without a drawer. You press the drawer of the top one so that this drawer moves slightly towards the lower box closest to it, thereby pushing down all the drawers following it into the lower ones. Each box will hold the top one on itself, you can handle them not so carefully - they will not fall.

The secret of focus.

The trick is that you hide another match in the handkerchief hemmed along the edges, in the corner under the hem. But you should place the handkerchief on the table so that the hidden match is at the bottom left, in the bottom binder. Then you fold the scarf as follows: turn the top edge towards the middle, and put the right edge on top of it. It is this match that you let the audience break, or you break it yourself. Everyone thinks that the marked match breaks.

Trick with matches and coin

You will need: a coin, 2 matches, a matchbox.

Open the box a little, connect two matches with their heads facing each other and stick one into the box, press the other into the lid, placing a coin under it.
