magnet magic trick: revealed!

 

 

Here's a classic easy magic trick. You grab your wrist with your hand and a pencil appears to stick to your hand. When you let go, the pencil drops. At the end, your spectators can examine the pencil.

Materials:
A pencil.

Secret:
It's all in how you hold your wrist.

 

Rest the pencil on a table. Grab your wrist with one hand. Your other hand reaches from underneath to grasp your wrist.

Bring down your hand, palm down, to rest on top of the pencil. As you bring your hand down, secretly extend the first finger of your "grabbing" hand.

Rest your hand on the pencil and secretly shove your first finger underneath the pencil and hold the pencil against your hand, as shown in the picture. This is the exposed view that spectators would not see.

 

You can now lift your hand and the pencil will appear to stick to your hand. Notice that there is a discrepancy as you only show three fingers gripping your wrist, but this is usually not a problem if you perform the trick quickly.

Bring your hand down onto the table and as you come down, slip your first finger out from under the pencil and then wrap it around your wrist along with the other fingers.

With the pencil on the table, you can lift your hand slowly to show that there is seemingly nothing that caused the pencil to stick to your hand.
