Skill toys, card tricks, juggling, magic, etc...

[ShawnFuzz]

Does anyone dabble in the simple skills or tricks like Rubiks cubes or yoyos? Maybe sleight of hand fun like juggling or card tricks? Magic? Anything else I am most likely forgetting?

I was interested in these things as a kid, but then I went "adult". Turns out, as I get older, these things have become fun again, and they are things I want to learn for fun! There are so many things that I have yet to learn! I would love to hear what entertaining "party tricks" you all might know and share!

I love party and magic tricks, even if I'm not great at them! I love having card tricks done on me, it's always fun

I learned how to solve a rubiks cube a few years back, I still do them from time to time to keep the memory of how to solve one! I really do enjoy it though, and it gives me something to do with my hands when I'm watching a show or a movie. I have three, so I cycle through each of them from mixing up #1 -> mixing up #2 -> mixing up #3 -> solving #1 and so on. In not exceptionally fast or anything, but if im ever in a scenario where I'm told to solve the rubiks cube or die, I'm making it out of there alive

I can do probably only three or four card tricks: one is with the Jack cards, another the Queens, and the third one I can think of off the top of my head is the one with 21 cards. There's this other one that's for any two cards, but I don't personally like it because part of the trick is springing the cards into the person's face and it ending up like 52 card pick-up, but you actually do get their cards right (terrible explanation, ik ) I definitely don't have the stage presence to perform these well for others, but it's cool to know how to do them lol

I can't juggle or yoyo for the life of me, but it's funny to try regardless. I also can never wrap my head around a lot of sleight of hand, so I don't really attempt them. Maybe someday though!
