If you are out at a restaurant and looking for to impress your fellow diners then the ‘Glass Through Table Trick‘ 
is a great magic trick to learn and have stored in your memory bank.
The Glass Through Table Trick is not just restricted to being performed at a restaurant. You can also include this in a close-up magic routine if you are performing at a table.
I believe that any starting magicians should first go back and study the old magic books and shows; there are so many great ideas that are hidden in the history of magic. One magician I’d suggest you look into is the legendary Dai Vernon.
I take no credit for any of the moves performed in this pencil magic trick, they are all originally found in Dai Vernon’s Chinese Matches magic trick. I choose to use the pencils rather than the matches as they are much more visible.
Practical magic are the tricks you would perform if magic wasn’t simply an illusion. Your magic powers would be used to simplify the things go on in your day to day life.
The concept of the “Mystery of the Missing Sock” trick appeared when I wondered how finding out where all the missing socks go would benefit the world a lot, though it is not top of my magic to-do list. Everyone has seemed to experience that moment of loss when you finish a load of washing and you have somehow lost one of your socks. I’m certain that everyone has those lonely socks in their drawer that don’t have their partner. This is my attempt to help solve this problem with magic.
Learning the false shuffle is arguably one of the most important techniques you can have in your magician’s tool bag.
This is Dan Garrett’s “The Underhanded Overhand Shuffle” (published by Dan Garrett) and it’s a variation of the “Hunter” false overhand shuffle.
Many times you will a find an audience member who will not be satisfied with how you handle the deck during your magic tricks. They usually insist you mix up the cards again.
