How to Perform the magnetic paper clips magic trick

Have fun performing this trick at school…all you'll need are a couple of paper clips! You will need two paper clips and a magnet. Sometimes we use materials that require adult supervision... like scissors, so make sure you have friends and family around whenever you do magic tricks. 1. Hide the magnet underneath the fingers of your right hand by curling your fingertip over it. Magicians call this a finger palm.

2. Reach over and pick up the two paper clips, one in each hand. Show them to the audience, showing the back of your hand so that the magnet is not exposed. The paper clip in the right hand should be touching the magnet.

3. Hold the right hand with the fingers pointed down and the paper clip pointing out under it. Take your other paper clip and place it at the end, so that the tips of the paper clips are touching. Dramatically remove your left hand so that they remain stuck together!
