Hi,

I am starting out in magic and I was wandering if an yof you could tel me which would be a good trick to learn?

The effects do last for ever then.

I'd say the elephant, elephants are magic in their own way, you don't have to actualy do anything, they vanish on their own.

shell elephants, they make the magic possible

When you say Linking Rigns - I'm not sure if you mean Linking Rings, or Linking Rhino's. There is a difference you know!

As it is the question is impossible to answer.

Assuming this is a serious question (we don’t get all that many so we don’t often recognise them immediately) there really is no answer to it. It all depends on what you prefer – cards, ropes, paper, cutting luscious ladies in half etc. Close up stuff is usually affordable, can be done after a certain amount of practice and is easily carried with you. Stage stuff is not the same but may be more to your liking.

Check out the various on line magic stores and see what takes your interest, you would certainly be best advised to go get some books on magic as that’s the cheapest and probably best way of learning and trying out effects. Videos and DVD’s are also available but may costs bit more than a book.

There’s no limit to what you can do with magic so check out as much as you can and you’ll soon find something which is easy for you.

I would say the Elephant Vanish. Once the elephant had learnt the routine it would never forget it!!
Actually if you worked in London Zoo then Elephant option would be a great choice.

Although it is not exactly that little something that you can show to your mates down the boozer.

I will agree with Bananafish about spelling (see a previous post elsewhere). Please, Please check you spelling before submitting. I don't mind abbreviations from the text generation (listen to the old fogie), but "linking rigns" come on.

both of thease items will work close up as well as at a distance, and you cant beat the cut and restored rope.http://www.emagictricks.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3090

Siegfried and Roy vanishing, Elephant

I think this is a no no. Just think for a moment. First you have to teach the Elephant to do the vanish, and then you have to persuade Seigfried and Roy to be vanished. Then, when it's all over. Who get's the credit? You? No I don't think so. The elephant does. What's the point?

You could do it in an Elephant costume though I guess.

Vanishing an Elephant is real easy, all you need to do is put it in it's natural habitat & it'll take 2steps behind a tree & vanish *Ta Da*
I've seen this happen often in local Safari Parks

I don't know - the elephant vanish is a bit of a grey area - is that the one where they hide it in a trunk?

I don't really want to start a barrage of elephant jokes, but...

How can you hide an elephant in a cherry tree?
Paint it's toenails red!!!

(if any mods watching: it is about vanishing the elephant, after all )

must be a tip trunk then.

check out this site recomended by magic mark, some good starter tricks and a new site too boot.

So how did Tarzan die?

Picking Cherries

looks like old ellie put his foot in it that time - I think that's when he signed up with Siegfried and Roy

Does it make a difference if it is an Indian of African elephant?

I am assuming that the whole routine is reliant on the small eared Elephant now that would be the African (?)....


Q: What does Tarzan say when he sees a herd of elephants in the distance?



A: "Look, a herd of elephants in the distance"
