Quick trick: Walk through a piece of paperThis is one of those silly tricks kids love to do to impress their family. All you need is a piece of paper and a bit of dramatics (on the presenter’s part). Tell your audience that you can cut a hole in this piece of paper large enough to walk through. Maybe even have an assistant (who hasn’t seen the trick before) try and cut a hole in the paper. Then impress them with this amazing skill.

  1. Oh, my! This has to be the hit of the party! I love it!

    I’m always looking for something to put in the travel stash to keep the troupes happy along the way and this fits the bill perfectly! I will link this post on my website http://www.theeducationaltourist.com where I write about traveling with the kids and making the family adventures magical. I would love a shout out from you!
