Sometimes finding a simple magic trick for your Cub Scout to do can be a little tricky (pun intended!). With the Cub Scout Magic Book, you can teach your Cub Scouts lots of age-appropriate magic tricks in a fun way that’s easy for their (curious) little minds to follow along. Whether you’re a den leader who wants to get your pack’s attention before a meeting or a parent trying to keep your Cub Scouts entertained during some downtime in your day, the new and improved Cub Scout Magic Book will quickly become your go-to guide for all things fun and magic!
When Does the Cub Scout Magic Book Come in Handy?
Magic is a great way to entertain, inform, and get a Scout’s attention. From coin tricks and puzzle games to cup turning, mind reading, and much more—the Cub Scout Magic Book is like having a treasure chest of cool ideas to help you captivate an audience of restless Cub Scouts whenever you need to!
You can perform any magic trick found in the Cub Scout Magic Book at your next magic-themed award ceremony, den meeting, or family outing. You can even teach them how to plan and perform a magic show in front of an audience of friends, family, and other Scouts! If you feel like your Cub Scout might enjoy (and be comfortable with) this idea.
We love this video produced by CubScoutIdeas.com that showcases some simple magic tricks for Cub Scouts!

Whether you want to help your Tiger complete the elective adventure "Curiosity, Intrigue, and Magic Mysteries," or help your Bear complete the achievement “How to Do Magic Tricks With Rope,” this new and improved magic book can make the task much easier to accomplish!

What Tricks Can You Find in the Cub Scout Magic Book?
The Cub Scout Magic Book features dozens of tricks that you and your Cub Scout can practice performing at home or camp. From tricks and puzzles with matches to checker tricks, puzzles, and games, every trick is easy to follow. And there’s no need to worry about buying expensive props or not being able to find the items you need for your magic show. Most of the tricks and puzzles featured in this magic book are more on the reasonable side and you can do them with easy-to-get items like paper clips, pencils, and paper drinking cups.
The Cup Moving Magic Trick
Place six paper cups in a row on the table. Every second cup is to be upside down as shown. Two cups that are side by side are to be moved at a time. Only three of these double moves are to be made, and when this has been done, the cups that are turned the same way are to be together in the row. Give each of your friends a chance to try to make the moves before you do the trick!
When you have learned the moves, make them quickly so that your friends will find it hard to follow what you are doing. If asked to do the trick a second time, do it in reverse. Move 2 and 3 to the left of 1, 5, and 6 between 1 and 4, and then 6 and 4 to the left of 2. Leave space at the left side of the row for these reverse moves.
We like this trip because paper drinking cups aren’t expensive and are generally easy to find at the grocery store. It’s also an illusion that can get your Cub Scouts to be invested so you will have their full attention!
