Tricks and surprises

:star: Sneaky Magnets - A good one for the surprise element - if you haven't got this in a science resource box already !!!
:shootings Use a paper plate and two magnets.
:shootings On the underside of one of your small world animals - like a ladybug or spider glue on one of the magnets.
:shootings Let the child see the insect moving freely on the top of the plate.
:shootings Then 'sneakily' use the other magnet from underneath the plate to 'bring the insect to life' and move it each time the child tries to touch it.

:star: Magical moving hanky ....
:shootings Tie one end of a length of thread from the edge of a hankerchief or cloth and the other end to your shoe!
:shootings Place the Hanky as far away as the thread allows - then as you are stood or sat and a child passes by - ask them if they could please pick it up for you.
:shootings As they bend to pick it up - flick your foot so that the hanky/cloth moves away and surprises the child !

One of my favourite gags is for the person who LOVES their car. Simply wet some white or grey cotton sewing thread and lay along the paintwork in a prominent position - it really looks like a very deep scratch!!! :D I've got many people with this one! lol :rotfl:

Wow the paint looks fantastic have ordered some for the gents.
Like the sewing thread idea.
