Don't let that title put you off, although this stuff is aimed at Children's entertainers, the routines under Magic Lessons (at the time of writing there are 60 of 'em!) can be adapted for adults as well. In fact, the shoelace one specifically says it can be performed in a bar!

See http://magictricksforkids.org/

The title of the site is ambiguous. This is what it says on the "about us" page:

"Magic tricks for kids is a friendly, on-line information hub for children aged 6 to 14 who are either students of magic or are looking to learn to do magic tricks."

Some nice simple ideas there - ones to "teach" if you are say performing for kids.

Looks like the site has gone stale though - last update 2016 - maybe someone should try to pick it up again - could be a terrific resource for all?

GREAT link Mandrake

I especially like the Magic Tricks You Can Make and Do section. One of the tricks from there, I had even posted on another board some time ago http://magictricksforkids.org/key-bend-mentalism/" target="_blank It uses the OTL principal and could be worked into a haunted key or key bending routine. I'm told that it's another version of a marketed effect by Tenyo but since the method is so old, I don't think anybody can really lay claim to it?
