We love magic tricks around our home! This magic holiday card for kids is guaranteed to fool your friends and family this holiday.

Materials

Make the Card

1

Print the template on card stock, if possible.

2

Cut out the main card by following the red outline. Fold card along the center line.

The Magic Trick

1

Show the card to a friend and ask, "Can you walk through this card?" Most likely they will say, "No way! That's not possible."

2

You will then cut the card as follows...

  • Cut along lines marked Cut 1 and Cut 2.
  • Cut along the card spine between Cut lines 1 & 2 (labeled Cut 3).
  • Fold the card again and cut the remaining solid lines on the front, stopping short of the ends as shown.
  • Carefully open up the card to reveal a giant ring. Now walk through it!

Tips for Success

1
  • Be sure to practice the cutting first before doing the trick! You must cut the spine as directed or the paper will not open up.
  • Open the cut card up slowly -- the paper is fragile and can easily tear.
  • Once you have mastered the cutting method, this trick can be easily repeated with any holiday card!
