EASY BURNT MATCH MAGIC
A simple but very effective trick that requires a bit of set up.
Secretly, before the performance take a burnt match and normal match from a box of matches.
Draw, with a black marker, the same burn-marks on the clean, ready-to-use match from the burnt match. Cover the sides as well until it is basically impossible to tell them apart from each other. You are now ready to start the trick.
Show the proper burned match with your right hand, hiding or palming the marked clean match.
Put the burnt match in your pocket and pretend to take it back out. This means that the hidden clean match is now in your hand. Say that this is the only match you have and that (showing an empty box of matches) it is burnt, posing a problem. However, saw that using your magical skills, you will be able to set the match alight. Strike it against the side of the match and will set alight!

AMAZING MAGIC
I just recently put 12 playing cards into a wine bottle to show that anything is possible. Sadly I cannot find my camera download cable so there will be a wait for videos and pictures. Enjoy the holidays!
P.S: I just discovered a card levitation trick and a sponge ball-secret. (The sponge ball secret is that the sponge-balls sticks to any part of your body if it has been smeared with moisturising cream!)

EASY MAGIC TRICK
Another easy card trick......
Firstly, secretly move the four aces on to the top of the deck. You can fake shuffle to your audience if you want, but make sure that the audience doesn't know that the aces are on top and that they remain there till this next step.
Cut, or even better, get the spectator to cut the deck into two. Make sure that you know which pile is the top half of the deck, the one with the four aces neatly stowed on top.
Then cut the deck again into four piles, making sure you take at least four cards from each of the two piles. Then you are ready for the next step.
Keeping the deck facedown, starting off from the pile furthest from the pile with the four aces, pick up the deck (still facedown) and move 3 cards to the bottom, then deal out the top card onto each of the other piles.
Then do this with the second pile, then third until you get to the fourth. Now, move three cards to the bottom of the final pile (with the aces on top, facedown) and deal out one card to each of the other piles. This means that every pile will have an Ace on top.
The final step casn be done in your choice. I often patter and say that the Royal family has had some tough times, cut-ups, breaks etc, but they will be always together. Then turn over the top card on each pile to reveal the Aces. Or, you can simply say that even with the randomness of the cuts, you will have a full suit of Aces. Then turn over the top card of each pile to reveal the Aces. This is one of my favourite tricks!

HOLIDAY MAGIC
I just went on a holiday and bought Glen Singleton's 101 Cool Magic Tricks. I also bought The Exclusive Magic Collection Set 1. I also watched Criss Angel Boxing Day special where he levitated 500 metres over a pyramid in Las Vegas with artificial lights which had a temperate of 800 degrees Celsius and could burn flesh. Keep up the good work!
