Going Up!

Effect: Two tumblers are suspended from a newspaper balanced on a magic wand.
Secret: Bend a paper clip around your magic wand to form a U shape. Tape the wire to a newspaper.
The newspaper is shown and then folded into a long flat tube. The secret wire should be on the side of the
newspaper nearest to you. Place the newspaper across two tumblers, making sure that each prong of the wire
goes into the tumblers. Place your wand between the tumblers and lift it towards the newspapers.
The newspaper will be lifted – but so will the tumblers.

Link Up

Effect: Two paper clips link together without you touching them.
Secret: You need two paper clips and a sheet of paper. Fold over one-third of the paper and place a clip over the top of the doubled thickness. Fold the other end of the paper in the opposite direction to the first and place the second clip over the two thicknesses of paper just formed. The position should now be as shown. Pull sharply on each end of the paper and the clips will leap off into the air and link themselves together.

Folding Money

Effect: A currency note turns itself over.
Secret: Hold the note in your left hand then fold it in half lengthways towards you. Next fold it in half away from you. Finally, fold the note in half again, this time towards your body. Now slowly unfold the note from the front, making each movement in the same direction. The note is now upside down! Strangely enough, this trick is more baffling if you do it really slowly but, like all tricks, you must practise it thoroughly to make sure you can do it perfectly before showing it to anyone.
