Kid and teens. They always seem to get into to things right? Well, not always. There are a small truckload of ideas and creative ideas that will keep kids and teens out of trouble and happy. One of these is to teach them magic tricks.
Now, I am not saying this is the only way to go but the thing is, I have found that a lot of kids and teens love magic and music. when I say music, that taste me differ from one to the next but magic seems to transcend all boundaries.
There are many sources for wonderful magic tricks, there are videos and books and commercial tricks you can buy at magic shops. All of these are great. What I suggest is that you find a book or video on magic that you can make. You might find a book in the craft shop or library on make at home magic.
Make at home magic is great for two reasons. Number one, it teaches kids to use their skills and number two, it is fun and easy to do and instills a level of pride upon it's completion.
Many teachers are using this in the class room now, homework that involved stuff to make using easy to find objects. These skill sets are important for everyday life once school is over. Magic is no different and it does create a sense of pride.
Unlike something kids and teens make and hang up in their room or throw on the shelf or later on the floor, creating a magic trick and using it to amaze your family and friends is a whole new world.
There are several professional magicians who use magic tricks objects in their shows that are made from construction paper, toilet paper holders and the like. Kids can relate to these things. You see, creating these things does not have to be hard. It will however keep teens and children of all ages happily occupied.
It is true not all kids and teens will take to magic. Not all children will learn every trick and that is okay. The whole idea is allow the kids to find their happiness when learning and creating the tricks they like. This freedom allows them to express who they are and create fun stuff they can be proud of.
Imagine the feeling of showing off that new trick to your friends and family...knowing that you made it and can take pride in it. Get started today.
