Easy Magic Trick Ideas for Kids
Ice cube lifting with string
This is a really fun activity with some science behind it. You have to get your hands on some little things. You’ll need some ice cubes, strings, salt, and a cup of water. You can add a little food color to the water so that the ice is visible properly. Put two ice cubes in a cup of water and place a string on top of both the cubes. Add some salt to the water. Wait for a minute. Because of the salt, the ice cubes will melt quickly as it reduces the temperature of the water. However, as the salt overindulges in the water, the temperature will decrease again and the ice will freeze again. Because of this, the strings will stick to the ice and you can pull out the cubes with just a string.
