It's late here and it's not perfect but here are three of the first vanished I ever learned, from Bobo's Coin magic, my first ever magic book

I liked it, Seize. Those are in fact very basic, and even I started out with those, coin related of course. :)

Average 'Two Card Transpo' for me. Obviously David 'Blame's fault. ;);)

'the teleporting card'
Funny thing is that the trick is so simple and effective, that I often use it nowadays as well.:D

Time machine effect for me, kinda like the easier handling of Tivo 2.0. First ever non-self-working trick i learnt( the first EVER was too long ago for me i actually know it's name...)

My first ever trick was the seperating thumb trick which I learnt when I was about 6. Next was the finger chop gimmick I think, and a really bad 3 card monte from "Magic Shop By Post" which was an awesome leaflet style mail order catalogue which came along with "Joke Shop By Post". I got some awesome things from that. Best ever was the "water squirt camera" for about £3 :p

The first magic move I learned was a back palm. My friends just freaked out when I showed it to them 2 years ago, so that was kind of a starting point for me in magic.

Ha Fin, I used to have that Joke catalouge by post when I was a kid. I had the whoopie cushion and stink bombs - a cliche I know - but my favourite was a little puddle of sick inside a small sort of gift box. You could go round to all the girls in the playground and be like "I've bought you something back from my holidays..."

[Fin]

YAY! My sister bought the sick-in-a-box and had many successes with it, usually blaming a dog for the mess. Which reminds me of "turd in a box", another classic.

Without reading anything, I actually mistook that for a piece of sausage..
