Scenario of the New Year's holiday

To the soundtrack, the Snow Maiden enters the hall, examines beautiful Christmas tree, a bright hall and draws attention to children.

Snow Maiden:

Hello!

Happy Holidays my little friends!

You recognized me? Remember who I am

Children (in chorus): Snow Maiden!

Snow Maiden: That's right, Snow Maiden!

And since I came to the kids,

So, the holiday is in the yard!

Everyone meets New Year,

They lead a round dance,

Everyone is waiting for gifts and miracles.

Well, that's how it will be today!

Children's New Year's noise maker "So as not to freeze ..."

Now let's dive into the New Year's fairy tale,

But first, let's make some noise and warm up!

So that we do not freeze in the evil frost -

Let's hold on to our noses! (Snow Maiden shows)

So that there is no trouble with the doctors -

Rubbing your frozen cheeks like this! (shows)

So that the hands do not freeze - clap! (claps hands)

And now let's warm our feet and stomp (shows)

And we'll tickle the neighbor a little (The Snow Maiden affectionately tickles several guys)

And, of course, let's laugh together! (ha ha ha)

And now, since you are warm, I have a question:

Who will add fun to everyone?

Children (in chorus): Santa Claus!

Snow Maiden: Yes, we really need Santa Claus,

Let's call him all together, together: "Santa Claus!"

Children (in chorus): Santa Claus!

Under the song "Well, of course, Santa Claus," Santa Claus himself comes out. He greets everyone, inspects the Christmas tree, throws snowballs, throws serpentine, slams the firecracker, etc. (Then the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus lead the program together)

Father Frost: I am glad to see my grandchildren again,

After all, we are not celebrating the New Year for the first time,

And when they meet, what do they say to a friend?

Nice, simple word "hello"!

Guys, where is my fidget Snow Maiden? Here she was, come on!?

(Snow Maiden hides behind Santa Claus and says now from the left, now from the right: "I am here").

Father Frost: Oh, the Snow Maiden is a mischievous girl, fooled around? Enough!

All the guys in the hall are waiting for gifts, congratulations!

Although, probably, the girls and boys here

The same as you, pranksters and rascals?

Snow Maiden: Grandpa, is this how the holiday begins? The guys haven’t seen you for a whole year, they were waiting for a meeting, and you declare to them right away that they, most likely, somehow behave in a wrong way ..

Father Frost: Yes, I kindly scolded only a little, well, well, I'll ask them themselves. The children are beautiful, you must be terrible little rascals?

Children answer: "No!"

Disobedient and ugly?

Children answer: "No!"

Are you lazy and stubborn?

Children answer: "No!"

Are you the best in the world?

Children automatically answer: "No"

Here, yes, they themselves admitted!

Snow Maiden: It's because you confused them.

Father Frost: Yes, I myself know that only smart boys and nice girls have gathered here.

Snow Maiden: Do you think boys are smarter?

Father Frost: And let's check.

Snow Maiden: How to say to you? Probably both are the same.

Father Frost: And let's find out.

Snow Maiden: How?

Father Frost: Let's have a contest of ingenuity.

Snow Maiden: Which?

Father Frost: Let's say we have a riddle contest.

game on new year holiday"Mysteries of Santa Claus"

Snow Maiden: Very well, only for this, probably, it is necessary to create a separate team of boys and a team of girls.

Father Frost: Quite right. And let's call it: "frost" and "snow maiden". You agree?

Snow Maiden: Agree.

Father Frost: Do you guys agree to split into two such teams?

Children(in chorus): Yes!

Snow Maiden: Who will start guessing? Me or you?

Father Frost: Or this. Let's count?

Eni-beni-res, quinter-minter-jess,

Eni-beni-aba, quinter-minter-toad . I am a "toad", I have to guess. So let's start with your team:

He comes to us in winter warm coat, with beard? (Father Frost)

Snow Maiden: It doesn't count, it's immediately clear that the riddle is about you .

Father Frost: Then I will guess a more difficult riddle, this is for a team of boys.

He is also middle-aged, he also walks with a beard, but he comes all year round, does he heal the forest people? (Dr. Aibolit)

Snow Maiden: Grandpa, and that's it easy riddle so uninteresting.

Father Frost: Even harder, right? This one also has a beard, and he is treacherous and evil, did he offend Pinocchio, Artemon and Malvina? (Karabas - Barabas). And you guessed it too, well done!

Snow Maiden: « Red-haired, with a tail, she lives on a tree, and gnaws everything on nuts.

Father Frost: It’s also a difficult riddle for me, it’s clear that this is a fox , once red, but with a tail.

Snow Maiden: Who is the fox? Where have you seen a fox jumping up trees?

Father Frost: Or maybe he is jumping, we just didn’t see it ... And then who?

Snow Maiden: Guys, who is this?

Children: Squirrel.

Father Frost: Oh, and, really, what smart kids. Then one more puzzle for each team, as well as the parents' team, let's call it the "grow up" team. The fastest participant from each team will take part in our next fun. Follow, Snegurochka, who will answer the fastest and loudest of all and bring them to the center. The question to the team is “frozen”

Is the red maiden sitting, herself in a dungeon, and the green scythe - on the street? (Carrot)

(The Snow Maiden determines and invites the smartest girl to the center)

Father Frost (continues): And now the riddle for the "freeze"

White and fluffy lump, the longer we roll it, the thicker it becomes? (Snowball)

(The Snow Maiden removes the most active player from this team)

Father Frost (addressing adults): For you, my most difficult riddle!

From the well only with me can you get drunk and with me it is easier for the harvest to be born? (Bucket)

(The Snow Maiden invites one of the parents who guessed first)

Father Frost(to everyone): Here we have collected answers: a snowball, a bucket, a carrot, what is easy to collect from this, eh, smart guys?

All: snow woman (or snowman).

Father Frost: Quite right, and now, on the count of three, we begin to turn into this same snow woman or snowman, as you like.

The game "I snowman"

(There are three chairs in the center of the site where there are three chairs, on which there are one copy of the props for a snowwoman: a nose - a carrot, white matter - a snowball and a children's bucket. Each participant puts all this on himself at speed. Then he stands on a chair and shouts: "I am a snowman!". Children can be helped. Participants are awarded prizes, if any).

Father Frost: Yes. And I'll tell you honestly: doing good miracles and making all sorts of transformations is so interesting.

Snow Maiden: But is it so complicated - magic?

Father Frost: Nothing like this. Let's try to turn into an animal or a bird.

Snow Maiden: Oh, how are you, grandpa?

Father Frost: Very simple. The kids just need to be more careful. I will pronounce the magic words, i.e. sing a song, and you guys, following the Snow Maiden and me, will repeat the magical movements. And so you turn into an animal or a bird. Clear?

Father Frost: Also, in order for a wizard to perform all sorts of transformations, you need to be a little imaginative.

Snow Maiden: Why, grandfather, will they still start teasing - “I imagined my tail was tucked in”?

Father Frost: I'm talking about those people who can imagine, ie. imagine anything. Listen to my story and imagine. Only first we need to choose assistants - 7 people. and an additional 4-6 people. for the role of snowflakes.

(preferably, adult spectators are selected for the roles: Bees, Winnie the Pooh, the wolf and the hare, Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena, Cat Leopold and snowflakes. All characters wear mask hats and each comes out to his own soundtrack, instead of a barrel of honey, a balloon ).

Children's Christmas story- Impromptu "Imagined"

There lived a Snow Maiden. And she went to celebrate the New Year. The weather was wonderful. Light snowflakes swirled in the air. And then the Snow Maiden hears a buzzing. - This is probably someone fly - thought the Snow Maiden. Indeed, this is a bee named Maya flying and holding a barrel of honey in its paws. A bee flies up to the Snow Maiden, gives her a barrel of honey and says: “Treat, Snow Maiden, your friends.” And she flew away. As soon as she flew away, the Snow Maiden hears someone waddling stomping and groaning: “Wow, wow, wow.” And this is Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh came up to the Snow Maiden and said: "Treat me with a honeycomb, Snow Maiden." As soon as he said this, suddenly a hare runs, followed by a hooligan wolf and shouts: “Well, hare, wait a minute!” A hare with a wolf ran up, they also want honey. And then the sound of wheels - tu-tu. A blue wagon rolls, and on it ... Cheburashka and Gena the crocodile, and they say: "Leave us some honey too." Then there was a noise and uproar, everyone was shouting: "Me, me, me." The Snow Maiden was at a loss that she almost dropped a barrel of honey from her hands. It’s good that at that time a kind cat in slippers and a bow around his neck came up and said: “Guys, let's live together!” And then divide the honey equally among all. The animals ate sweet honey and clapped their hands for joy. Like this!

Dance under the sash

Father Frost: Yes, you are notable imaginations, I want to see what kind of dancers you are.

(Guys exit) A dance is announced under my sash. You need to go back and forth under the sash to the music, dancing. The sash will gradually fall lower and lower, but you cannot touch it.

(Participants are selected for the dance competition or everyone, as well as assistants from among the adults who will hold the sash. The originality of the dance is assessed).

Father Frost: And what a beautiful Christmas tree you have. It is immediately clear that they were preparing for the New Year's Eve. Did you decorate the tree yourself? Do you know what to dress up? I'll check now. I will offer various decorations, and you turn on your imagination, but be careful, tell me in response, if they decorate the Christmas tree with this, then “yes”, and if they do not decorate, then “no”

How do we decorate a Christmas tree, we all know for sure

And what is possible and what is not - we will immediately guess:

Balls, beads and toys? (Yes)

Pies, compote and dryers? (Not)

Serpentine and tinsel? (Yes)

Skates, skis and play? (Not)

A colorful garland? (Yes)

And the snowflakes are light? (Yes)

Snow Maiden: And now Grandfather Frost will sing a song about a Christmas tree, only I need your help. You need to sing the following words in the chorus: “Like, like the Christmas tree is beautiful!” Let's rehearse.

(everyone sings at the same tempo)

The song "Christmas tree - beauty"

(recorded version with the vocals of Father Frost and a refrain for the chorus with the children)

Lyrics

In the center of the hall, a beauty grew up miraculously

Well, tell me, guys, do you like the Christmas tree? - 2 times

Chorus (all together):

Like, like Christmas tree - beauty - 2 times

There are so many colorful tinsel on its shaggy branches

Bell carved, colorful balls - 2 times

Chorus .

In a warm room, the snow does not melt, this is what happens on New Year's Eve

And the guys are leading a round dance in the hall near the Christmas tree - 2 times

Father Frost : We will continue the holiday, we will play with you. And for this you need to create two teams - a team of D.M. and the Snow Maiden team of 10 people. in each and two adults in each team for safety net.

But finding New Year's children's books, the plot of which would not be connected with Santa Claus or Santa Claus, is not easy. Many people cannot imagine the New Year without Santa Claus, however, more and more parents around the world, and even more parents who choose the Montessori path, tell their children the truth that this character does not actually exist and mom and dad put gifts under the tree . Santa Claus is such a tradition. And you can follow it, or you can agree that the expectation of the New Year and its celebration is a wonderful time that we spend with our family and give each other love and warmth.

We hope that our selection will help create a magical atmosphere of this special time, which adults can plunge into with their children, without focusing on Santa Claus and fairy-tale characters.

New Year's books for kids from birth to three years

At this age, we need to give the child the most accurate reflection of reality. The main questions that interest the baby are: “What is around me and what is it for?” Therefore, pay special attention to the illustrations: they must be believable - let's leave Santa flying through the sky on reindeer for later. The texts are small and clear, giving an idea of ​​winter, the holiday and its attributes.

Thick pages, vivid photos, short texts Just what a one year old needs. View pictures and study objects together:

• "The world around me. New Year. Photobook" (Tatiana Koval)
• "The world around me. Multicolored New Year. Photobook" (Tatiana Koval)

Older children, 2-3 years old (and after three too), love to look at Wimmelbuch books and books with a lot of details that need to be found, shown and named, and at an older age, write stories about characters.

• "Once Upon a Winter" (Elena Zapesochnaya)
• picture book "Once Upon a Time in the City" (ROSMEN publishing house)
• "Winter Adventures. Stories from pictures with stickers” (Elena Zapesochnaya). To some extent, this is a version of the well-known "Winter Book" by Rotraut Berner adapted to Russian realities. It contains stickers of Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden, which the parent can remove.
• "Winter. Forward-looking finders” (Bianca Minte-Koenig, Hans-Günther Dering). We draw the attention of parents: since this is a translation, on one of the pages there is a mention of a mistletoe potion. This is typical of German culture and unusual for us. You can tell your child about it.

Poems to create a special winter mood:

• "Snow Bunny" (Olga Vysotskaya)
• "Winter Fun" (Evgeny Migunov)
• “It was in January” (Agniya Barto)
• "Soon, soon the New Year!" (NosyCrow)

A list of useful books for children under 3 years old from Montessori teachers will help you choose books according to the age and interests of the child

New Year's books for children from 3 to 6 years old

At this age, children are already more interested in the plot. They are interested in answers to the questions "why" and "where". They still enjoy exploring the world around them. And if parents support them in this, children will discover a lot of new things for themselves.

Therefore, I wanted to start the list with books that reveal the secrets of familiar things. For example, how does a snowflake form and how is it that snowflakes always have six faces? Where does snow come from and why does it crunch underfoot? Why is ice slippery?

• "Snow. Winter Wonder" (Mark Cassino, Jln Nelson)
• "A Book about Snowflakes" (Olga Dvornyakova) Will interest both 5-6-year-old children and those who are older. Everyone will take something from her.

Winter stories can be truly mesmerizing, whether it's about the life of animals or two little brothers Chuk and Gek.

• "Who winters like" (Yulia Smirnova)
• "Chuk and Gek" (Arkady Gaidar)

Around the age of 5, the child begins to clearly distinguish between reality and fiction. During this period, you can start reading fairy tales. In the days of December will help create new Year mood fairy tales:

• Moroz Ivanovich (Vladimir Odoevsky)
• "The Tale of the Little Christmas Tree" (Marina Aromshtam)
• "Snow globe" (Olga Fadeeva)
• "Christmas tree, cat and New Year" (artist Maria Pavlova)
• "One Winter Night" (Nick Butterworth)

• "Winter poems and fairy tales" (artists Lidia Gladneva, M. Afanasyeva, V. Pertsev)
• "Winter poems" (artist V. Belousov)
• "Frost and sun. Poems of Russian poets about winter" (artist Vladimir Kanivets)
• Winter Sorceress (artist Elena Drobotova)
• “Very fun in winter. Snow stories for kids "(Mikhail Yasnov)

Closer to 5-7 years old, children begin to be interested in the origin of the New Year, the traditions of celebrating in different countries. This is a good opportunity to talk about what "Santas" in different cultures have their own distinctive features.

• “How children around the world celebrate New Year and Christmas” (Pavla Khanachkova)
• Santa Claus and his brothers. Winter Wizards of Russia (Olga Kolpakova)

You can learn about the history and traditions of the holiday and in an unusual way- through the detective story “New Year. A terribly complicated case” (Yakov Akim, Viktor Dragunsky, Anton Zolotov).

And of course, December is a wonderful time to create that magical holiday atmosphere with your children that will be remembered for a lifetime.

• "Simple Snowflakes"
• “Christmas tree flags. A set of flags for the Christmas tree "(artist Maria Pavlova)
• "Christmas decorations" (Tatiana Kozhevnikova).

Creative tasks, indoor and outdoor games, useful ideas for preparing for the New Year for 5-6 years and older:

• “Entertainers. Winter. Fascinating activities for children and parents” (Nina Surova, Philip Surov)
• "Wonderful time. Winter "(Ksenia Dryzlova)

New Year's books for children from 6 to 12 years old

At this age, children ask questions: “What is the reason?”, “What will happen if? ..”, “What would I do?”. Young researchers are increasingly interested in the world of relationships between people. Any story will become an occasion for discussion of good and evil, justice and mercy, love and friendship. Along with this, children continue to enthusiastically study how the world works.

How did our ancestors celebrate the winter holiday? Which traditions have survived to this day, and which ones are being revived or have appeared only now? Why do we celebrate both Christmas and New Year? Answers to these questions:

• "Christmas tree. One hundred years ago"
• "Christmas tree. The latest edition for a gift in verse and prose "
• "Christmas tree. Ancient fun "(A. Smirnov)
• "Story Christmas tree"(Alexander Tkachenko)

The world of people and relationships is much more complex than the world of nature and technology. How to find your place in it, how to distinguish good from bad, how to understand your experiences, what friendship, love and justice are - all this can become a topic for discussion while reading. New Year's stories and fairy tales:

• Bengal Lights (Nikolai Nosov)
• "How to arrange a holiday" (Anna Remez)
• "Christmas in northern ice"(Marina Aleshina)
• "Visiting a polar bear" (Oleg Bundur)
• "The key to the Christmas tree chest" (Ekaterina Medvedeva)

• "Christmas Girl Doll" (Yulia Nasvetova, Lidia Avilova)
• "Journey of the smallest snowflake" (Elena Pervushina)
• "Wonderful Doctor" (Alexander Kuprin)
• The Little Match Girl (Hans Christian Andersen)
• "The Snow Queen. The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, Hans Christian Andersen)
• “Santa Claus is calling us, or the Story of Droplet, her friends and how important it is to find your talent” (Irina Danilova)

For children who want to decorate the house for the holiday with their own hands, suggest:

• “A miracle with your own hands. Christmas toys» for 7-9 years (artist McLelland Kate)
• “A miracle with your own hands. Magic Birds for 7-9 years old (artist Ingram Zoe)
• Paper snowflakes "Winter". Cutting set "for 10–12 years old (A. Zaitseva)

Celebrating the New Year at home with your family can be made interesting and unforgettable if everyone takes part in the preparation of games, riddles and tricks with a set of 50 brochures "New Year with the Family" (Natalya Krupenskaya). It will be interesting for children from 6-9 years old.

We hope the review of children's New Year's books will be useful. Share in the comments your favorite books that you are especially happy to read with your children on New Year's Eve.

Presenter:
Good afternoon! All set, you can start. Well, what should we do with you first? What do they do when they meet? (hello). That's right, now we'll say hello, but ... not usually. Everything will happen like this: boys, you will greet me, as in Germany: "Guten Tag", and all the girls will say hello in French: "Bonjour". So hello girls! Hello boys! Wonderful!
Why are we all here? What holiday is coming? (New Year) Absolutely right. The most wonderful holiday, of course, after the birthday. What is the symbol of this holiday? Indeed, the most elegant is the Christmas tree. What is she dressed up with? I will name the items, if you agree, say "yes", if not, then "no".

Multi-colored crackers?

Blankets and pillows?

Marmalades, chocolates?

Glass balls?

Are the chairs wooden?

Teddy bears?

Primers and books?

Colored beads?

Are the garlands bright?

Snow from white cotton wool?

Backpacks and briefcases?

Shoes and boots?

Cups, forks, spoons?

Candy shiny?

Are tigers real?

Are the buds golden?

Are the stars shining?

But something we stagnated.
Let's warm up and do "Winter exercise".

Hands to heels and ears

On your knees and on your shoulders

To the sides, to the waist, up,

And now a funny laugh:

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee

How good are we.

Once - they clapped their hands,

Two - they stamped their feet,

Three, four - pulled up,

Together they took hands.

Five - we finish the counting

We start dancing.

(Rock and roll dance)

(Sounds of New Year's music. Ded Moroz and Snegurochka appear.)

Father Frost:
Here I am! Granddaughter, introduce me to the children.

Snow Maiden:
Oh, grandfather! Do you really think that the guys don't know you?

Father Frost:
Imagine! That's how it's supposed to be!

Snow Maiden:
OK then. Now I will make a riddle, and the guys will say the answer in unison. Hear guys? Who are we talking about?
Who comes to us in winter?
In a fur coat and with a beard,
good look and Red nose,
Who is this? .....

You see, grandfather, everyone knows you.

Father Frost:
Yes indeed. In that case, hello kids! Here, meet my granddaughter...

Snow Maiden:
Hello children!

Father Frost:
Snow Maiden!

Snow Maiden:
Grandpa, we have known each other for a long time. Remember, we came to them for a holiday last year.

Father Frost:
Truth? That's what I look at - all the familiar faces. Although no! Those guys were a little smaller.

Snow Maiden:
A whole year has passed. The guys have grown up. Learned a lot, learned a lot.

Father Frost:
And that's right. Oh, I completely forgot everything. Old age is not fun! Remind me, granddaughter, what did we do at the holiday last year?

Snow Maiden:
We danced, sang, played games...

Father Frost:
Remembered! We played footbal.

Snow Maiden:
No! We played Christmas games.

Father Frost:
And what are these games?

Snow Maiden:
Well, come on, the guys and I will show you one game. It's called Santa's Mittens.

Father Frost:
My mittens?

Snow Maiden:
Of course, yours, whose else? Give them to me, please.

Father Frost:
But if I give them to you, I'll freeze.

Snow Maiden:
You can't freeze. Because you are Frost!

Father Frost:
Really! That's when I got really bad.

Snow Maiden:
Do you remember the rules of this game?

Father Frost:
What game?

Snow Maiden:
Oh! Guys, let's show grandpa how to play New Year's games! Do you agree?
Now I will give two of you Santa Claus mittens. As soon as I clap my hands and say "begin", you start playing, i.e. pass the mitten to a neighbor in a circle, and he will pass it on, and even further. You must pass the mittens all the time while I read the poem. And as soon as I say "stop", you have to stop. The one of you who has a gauntlet in his hands will be considered "frozen", i.e. it will turn into a snowdrift. To "unfreeze", he will have to complete a super-difficult task. It's clear? Then get ready...
Hey buddy don't yawn
Pass the mitt.
Pass it around
Pass it on to each other!
You will not have time to convey - You will suffer for a century.
You will turn into a snowdrift
When you hear the word "Stop!"

Snow Maiden:
Here, Grandfather, we have "frozen" all these children. And now they need to be "unfrozen".

Father Frost:
Put it in the oven or something?

Snow Maiden:
Well, that's just what it says. They need to be given a task.

Father Frost:
Which task?

Snow Maiden:
What do you want. For example, you can ask them to dance or sing.

Father Frost:
I can sing myself.

Snow Maiden:
Then suggest another task.

Father Frost:
What do I want?

Snow Maiden:
What do you want.

Father Frost:
Then I want them to shout loudly and in unison: "Long live the greatest and most powerful magician!" That is, I.

Snow Maiden:
Grandpa, this is indiscreet!

Father Frost:
So what, but I will be pleased.

Snow Maiden:
And let's tell them riddles about forest dwellers.

Father Frost:
Let's. I guess a riddle, and everyone says the answer in unison.

Who likes to rush through the branches?
Of course, red ... (squirrel)

In more often, head up,
Howling with hunger ... (wolf)

On a pine tree like a drum
Knocked in the forest ... (woodpecker)

Who knows a lot about raspberries?
Clubfoot, brown ... (bear)

On the fence in the morning
Crowed ... (rooster)

Daughters and sons
Teaches grunt ... (pig)

Above the forest, the ray of the sun went out ...
The king of animals is sneaking ... (lion)

Curled up in a ball, come on, touch it,
Prickly on all sides ... (hedgehog)

Snow Maiden:
They know how to solve riddles, but let's check if they can count ...

Father Frost:
Let's!

Snow Maiden:
Attention guys, we are playing a new new year game"Snowflakes and Snowdrifts". You all become snowflakes and dance to the music. I announce to you: "All snowflakes are combined into snowdrifts in twos!" And then you should gather two by two and join hands, i.e. become a jerk. You can combine snowflakes in threes, fours, etc. Those who do not have time to find a mate will be punished - completing the tasks of Santa Claus.

Focuses

Learn these easy tricks and new year's eve in the eyes of your guests, you will become an unsurpassed magician.

Thread on the jacket

You notice a white thread on your jacket and try to brush it off, but the thread remains on your jacket. Then you take it by the tip and pull. To your surprise (and the surprise of other people), it continues on. You pull further and further until a few meters of thread ends.

Focus secret: Before showing the trick, you put a small pencil in the inside pocket of your jacket, on which several meters of thread are wound from the spool. Using a needle, thread the tip of the thread through the fabric of the jacket to the outside. The main thing is that after demonstrating the trick, there are no traces left in your pocket if especially vigilant spectators decide to inspect your pockets. Therefore, the thread is wound on a pencil.

Three glasses and paper

Place two glass glasses on the table at some distance from each other. Place a piece of paper on top.

Pick up the third glass and invite the audience to place it between two glasses on a sheet of paper so that the paper does not bend. Nobody succeeds, of course. Then you demonstrate your "magical" abilities.

Focus secret: Fold a sheet of paper like an accordion along the long side, then it can easily support the weight of even a glass cup.

magic rope

You sit down in front of the audience at the table, show them the rope, put it on the table and say: "I will tie a knot on this rope without using my hands."

After that, cross your arms over your chest. Taking one end of the rope with your left hand and the other with your right, you spread your arms to the sides. There really is a knot on the rope!

Focus secret: There is no particular secret here. You just need to take a rope at least 1 meter long. And, of course, carefully rehearse the number in order to be able to grab both ends of the rope from the table.

Magic "Piglet"

You ask the audience for two coins in denominations of 1 and 5 rubles. Put a coin of 1 ruble on a small piece of paper, draw a mark around it with a pencil and then carefully cut out a hole equal in diameter to this coin of 1 ruble. After that, invite the audience to put a 5-ruble coin into this hole. Nobody knows how to do it. Then you can easily solve the proposed problem.

Focus secret: Of course, a 5-ruble coin will not fit into such a small hole. But if you fold a piece of paper in half so that the fold line passes through the center of the hole, then the hole will turn into a gap. Stretch the paper a little - the diameter of the hole is enough for a coin to easily slip through it.

Without getting your hands wet

Take a large flat plate, put a coin on it and pour a small amount water to cover the coin. Then invite the audience to take the coin without getting their hands wet.

Focus secret: You set fire to a piece of paper and put it in a glass. Then quickly turn the glass over and place it on a plate near the coin. When the paper in the glass burns out and goes out, the water from the plate will collect under it, and the coin will be in a dry place.

Three layouts

Take any 21 cards and arrange them face up three cards in seven rows. You should have three vertical columns of seven cards each. Invite one of the spectators to remember any one card and say which column it is in. Carefully, one by one, place the cards of each column into piles, and then all the piles into one pile. In this case, a stack of cards from the column with the selected card must be placed in the middle between the other two. Then turn the stack face down, arrange the cards again into three columns of seven cards each, and again ask the spectator to indicate which column the chosen card is in. Fold the cards in columns and put the indicated column of cards back in the middle. And finally, for the third time, lay out the cards and again put the column with the selected card between the other two. Count out ten cards. The eleventh card comes out.

Focus secret: the main thing is to always put a column with a hidden card between the other two.

cunning trick

Take a deck of cards. Invite one of the spectators to choose and remember some card and put it on top of the deck without showing you. Then remove the deck and put its bottom part on top. Lay out the cards face up and accurately indicate the hidden card.

Focus secret: To find the hidden card, we apply a little trick. Before demonstrating the trick, remember the lowest card of the deck. Now, when laying out the deck, the hidden card will lie in front of the card that we spied on.

Guessed card

You invite four spectators to sit at the table with you. Deal five cards to everyone. After that, the spectators must memorize one card from those that are in their hands. You collect cards and lay them out on the table in five piles. Spectators choose one of the stacks. You take the cards and fan them out to the audience. Then you ask which of them sees their card. After receiving the answer, you accurately indicate the card that they remembered.

Focus secret: You start collecting cards from the spectator who sits to your left and further - clockwise. Moreover, you collect all five cards at once, and not one at a time. You will collect your cards last, and they will be at the top of the deck. When you then lay out the cards in five stacks, in any of them the cards are in the order in which the audience sits at the table. If, for example, a third spectator recognizes "his" card, it will be the third one, counting the piles from above, etc.

Kings and Ladies

Kings and queens are selected from the deck. You lay them out in front of the audience in two rows - separately for kings and separately for ladies. Stack the cards by placing a stack of kings on top of a stack of queens. The resulting deck of eight cards can be removed by the audience any number of times. Then you hide the cards behind your back, take out two cards and show them to the audience. They see that it is a king and a queen of the same suit.

Focus secret: Initially, you stack the cards so that the sequence of suits in both decks is the same. Behind your back, you divide the deck into two of four cards each and take the top card from each mini-deck. It will always be a king and a queen of the same suit.

Conceived number

Invite one of the spectators to think of a number. After that, the viewer must multiply it by 2, then add 8, divide by 2 and subtract the number that he had in mind. After a meaningful pause, you announce that the resulting number is 4.

Focus secret: There is no secret, pure mathematics!
