Hi All

Hi
I am a father of 3 who spent alot of hours as a kid playing with tricks. My eldest child has started showing an interest, and I have impressed her with the occasional sleight with coins and the few card tricks I can remember.

I have dug up a load of old books and my missus has volunteered me for a school fair, performing some tricks.

I currently need some suggestions of quick and easy tricks I can do to impress kids (5-10yrs) I mostly don't need method and I have a load of literature. They have to be performable whilst potentially surrounded (not sure on the layout of the hall yet) but I don't want to be limited to card tricks.
They also need to be able to be performed several times without spoiling the effect - do such tricks exist?

Thank you all for your time - if this goes well, who knows I may end up doing the occasional event.

Hi and welcome to TM! For ideas and suggestions, have a look at the Review sections, there are loads of ideas and suggestions there but ultimately it'll be a question of what you feel comfortable with. Best of luck :wink: !

Hiya and welcome to TM!

Sponge balls or bunnies are great for kiddies, they're easy to learn and perform and as long as you're careful are mostly angle proof :D
