Show everyone a bottle and wand. Tell them this is a magic wand that suspends it's self. You drop the wand into the bottle (noting how easily it falls in). You turn the bottle over and let go of the wand. The wand magically remains suspended in the bottle.
Supplies: Eraser, Magic wand or pencil that is taller than the bottle ( part of it should still be sticking up through the opening )~a bottle that has an opening large enough to fit the wand in (but not too big). The bottle cannot be see-through. Before you start: Cut a piece off the eraser, just large enough to wedge the wand into the opening of the bottle.
The eraser is what makes the trick work!
Secret: Pass the bottle to the volunteer and ask them to make sure its empty.Take back the bottle and give your friend the wand. Meanwhile, slip the piece of eraser into the bottle without anyone seeing (you can have it in your pocket until this point). You'll need to practice this a few times. Take the wand back and drop it into the bottle. Pick up the wand and bottle and turn them VERY SLOWLY upside down (mumble all sorts of enchantments while you're doing this). Pull on the wand slightly when the bottle is turning over so the piece of eraser gets wedged into the opening (you'll need to practice this a few times too). Let go of the wand... PRESTO! It doesn't fall out. Slowly turn upright again. Let go of everything and PRESTO the wand remains suspended in the bottle (it doesn't fall back down). To remove the wand, push it slightly to release the eraser and then take it out.
Choose a volunteer; Tell her you are going to send a simple word from your mind to hers. Tell her to clear her mind so you can send the word to her mind. Now write the word NO in big letters on a pad, but don't let anyone see it. Now both of you concentrate so you can send the word to her. After you sent "the thought" to her ask " Do you have any idea what I have just written?" of course she will say "NO" as soon as she says that turn the pad over act surprised and say "You did it that's exactly what I wrote!"
