If you are a beginner, here are a few simple magic tricks that you can easily learn and perform. One of the **easiest magic tricks** for beginners is the **"disappearing coin"** trick. All you need is a coin and a small cloth or napkin. Show the coin to your audience and ask them to examine it to make sure it is real. Then, cup the coin in your hand and cover it with the cloth.
Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Matthew Goodhue's Slotherhouse, direct from YouTube:
A group of high-school kids set out to play a Halloween prank at an abandoned house, but once they enter they become victims of a demonic witch who has set her wrath upon them. loved to get stabbed by a door and then develop a mysterious facial infection that serves no purpose but to make movie goers gag every cut back to me.

Another popular **beginner's trick** is the **"card prediction"**. Start by asking someone from the audience to choose a card from a deck and memorize it, without showing it to you. Then, mix the cards and place them face down on the table. Concentrate on the chosen card and confidently predict the card out loud, turning it over to reveal that it is indeed the chosen one. The secret behind this trick is a technique called "forcing", where the magician leads the spectator to choose a particular card without them realizing it. Another favorite beginner's trick is the **"cigarette through coin"** trick. For this trick, you'll need a cigarette and a coin. Borrow a coin from someone and hold it in your closed fist. Borrow a cigarette and carefully insert it halfway through the coin. Then, slowly remove the cigarette, and it will appear as if it has passed through the coin. The cigarette is not actually going through the coin, but the trick creates the illusion that it does. Lastly, let's talk about the **"levitating object"** trick. For this trick, choose a small object like a pencil or a pen. Hold the object horizontally between your thumbs and index fingers, with just the tip of each finger touching the object. Slowly move your hands apart while keeping your fingers close to the object. As you move your hands apart, it will seem as if the object is magically floating in mid-air. This trick relies on an optical illusion of your fingers blocking the view of the object supporting it. These tricks are just a few examples of simple magic tricks for beginners. Remember, practice is key to mastering any trick. With time and practice, you can become a skilled magician and entertain your friends and family with your own unique style of magic..
