Selecting a magic trick for your kids can be tough...especially if you are buying them on the internet where you can't see the trick. You don't want to end up with a trick that is too hard for your child.

I have tested hundreds of kids magic tricks and weeded out the junk. I picked my top four kids magic tricks based on how easy they are to do, and more importantly how much fun they are to do!

Here are my top 4 magic tricks for kids ages 6-8.

1. Ball Vase

The ball vase is a container with a lid that has a ball inside, and it makes a ball disappear and reappear. This trick is great because it will amaze adults, and best of all it's super easy for a kid to do!

2. Coin Slide

This magic trick is soo easy for a kid to do, I taught my two year old daughter to do it. You put a quarter into a box and the quarter turns into a penny. You can turn the penny back into a quarter if you want...or the your kids can visit their relatives and change thier quarters into pennys and not change them back and start saving for college that way!

3. Dice Tube

The dice tube is a litte square tube that you can slide a dice through. What happens is the dice start with the number 4 on top. The tube is just large enough for the dice to fit in, and when the dice comes out the other end it has the number 6 on top!

4. Cups and Balls

The trick has many, many versions from very basic and easy to advanced and challenging.

In the basic version you have 3 cups and three balls, and one at a time the balls go through the bottoms of the cups! The basic version IS NOT difficult, but will take a little bit of practice. It's a good way to spend some

time with your kid at the kitchen table helping them learn this trick.

One of the great things about this trick is that as your kid learns more about magic tricks they can add to this and make it more amazing. This is one of the first tricks that I learned to do and I still do it in my professional magic shows!

I hope that these four recommendations take some of the mystery out of finding the right magic trick for your budding magician!
