How would you make a homemade magic?

[Alex DiTuro]

I've been looking online and I cant find any good resources on how to make your own magic. Has anybody done this? I would like to try this myself.

I made my own homemade master magic before. Basically you just need the tiles, the paper prints that go betwee, and the strings.

Read Jaap's page at www.geocities.com/jaapsch as to how exactly a magic is strung. I actually learned from other people at competitions how to string the magics, but after reading Jaap's page after that I think it describes it in the best detail.

I can tell you from experience, make sure you use either all thick tiles or all thin tiles. I used a mix of both without realizing for my master magic, and it is not a very good one because of that.

Hope that is at least enough to get you started. Post if you have any other questions.

So, is it that you print the rings on a piece of paper or on other harder stuff like on a cardboard?

Thin paper works well. Make sure you print tiles the right size, and are careful with arrangement.

Do you mean something like this?

Oh, I thought they were talking about DIY magic.

Umm... yes I was talking about that...


*Edit: non-DIY magic xD*

Print out the design like it is (a4 scaling) on thin paper, cut it out, glue the two designs together (easier) and then just string it.

Do that except dont glue it. It will stay between the tiles easily (even if you have two sheets of thin paper between each tile).
