Coloring Book Magic Trick

A very easy-to-do magic trick that is sure to get a great response from the audience/congregation. Show a full-size coloring book that is blank and then, with a wave of the magicians hand pictures appear in the book – all outlined in black. The magician then takes the trick a step further and colors the pictures – all by magic! For a fitting finale the pictures then change back to their original state. This is a wonderful visual magic effect that can be used in any service, school assembly, children’s party or special celebration and it is especially well received by kids!

A coloring book magic trick is exciting to kids because it takes something familiar to them and makes it magical. This effect is the perfect way to grab the audience’s attention right from the beginning of a performance and it is also a wonderful closing trick to a program.

The secret behind the coloring book magic trick is in how the gimmicked book is constructed. The pages are made with different widths so that as the magician riffles the book, wider pages will fall and hidden narrow pages will rise. One page shows outlines in black and white, the next page has brightly colored images and the final flip returns everything to normal.

The Royal Magic coloring books are the finest on the market and make this amazing effect very simple to perform. The pocket size is 4.25″ x 5.5″ and ideal for walkaround work.
