Magic using water: recommended tricks for party entertainment and performances.

A candle that doesn’t go out even in water

When fire is immersed in water, it goes out—that’s common sense.

This magic trick overturns that idea with a candle that doesn’t go out even under water.

All you need is a clear glass, a candle, and water.

First, attach the candle to the underside of the glass and light it.

From the opposite side, it should look as if the candle is standing inside the glass.

Then, pour water into the glass, and you can create the illusion that the flame is still burning even though it’s underwater.

Finishing by blowing it out with a gentle puff of air looks really cool.

Water that freezes in an instant

Magic Trick Revealed: Water Freezes in an Instant — The Perfect Science Project!

It’s a science-based magic trick where water freezes instantly.

In this trick, the water you pour into a container solidifies in a flash—its dreamy appearance is a big part of the appeal.

What you’ll need for this trick is sodium acetate.

Put it in a container with water and heat it in a microwave.

Heat it until it dissolves.

Then chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

That’s all the prep.

After that, pour the water slowly, and it will freeze.

If you’re curious about why this happens, look it up!

A box that doesn’t spill even when you put in a cup filled with water

Why doesn’t it spill? Two easy magic tricks with explanations that kids will love at daycare/preschool: 2 Easy Magic Tricks with Tutorials.

You place a glass of water into a box that has a drawing of a glass to indicate which way is up.

Even if you pick up the box and flip it over—when the water should spill—not a single drop comes out! What’s more, you can return the box to its original position and take out the glass from inside.

Naturally, the water remains in the glass without spilling a drop.

The trick is simple: there’s another box inside the box, and it contains a base for the glass with a rod running through it.

When you place the water-filled glass on the base, the base rotates so the glass itself doesn’t change orientation.

Be careful to handle the box correctly so you don’t mix up vertical and horizontal movement while performing!

Magic of Light

Kids can do it too! The fire-disappearing magic trick 🪄🔥

This is a magic trick where, when you place an illustration of a lit candle into water, only the flame part disappears as if real fire had touched water.

The key is that the illustration is inside a bag; when you put it in water, refraction makes the illustration inside invisible.

Since the candle’s body is drawn not only on the inner sheet but also on the bag itself, only the lines on the bag remain visible, making it look as if the flame has gone out.

If the inner illustration and the bag’s lines shift while you move it, the secret will be revealed, so a crucial point is to hold them carefully aligned.
