If she is a Harry Potter fan (and who isn't these days?) she might like doing some Wizard magic. Her friends will certainly think it's "cool."

A good trick for younger magicians to get into is the prediction board.

This trick has three flaps under which predicitions (can be whiteboard or traditionally slate/blackboard material) are made by the magician and three visible areas for the audience member to put their marks on.

My 10 year old uses this well,

An example of the trick is included below:

I had a Paul Daniels marketed Mental Epic Board (though can't recall what he called it) when I was about 12 and had no trouble using it. I'd probably have been OK at 10, but 8...maybe.

You could do a phychic looking effect with IT.

I've tried it with my eight yeasr old (have house full - all ages all sizes - nearly all girls aaargh!).

She had no difficulty with the trick and the patter, whilst difficult at first, very soon changed to be her own and it works well with her perrs - they all go quiet and wonder how she's done it - got her a Brownie badge anyway,
