Some magic tricks create one surprise. This one delivers several.
The ABC Block Mystery begins with a simple display that everyone immediately understands. Three colorful blocks labeled A, B, and C are stacked onto a magic wand standing upright on its base. Your audience clearly sees the blocks arranged in alphabetical order. Then the impossible begins. Cover the blocks with the black tube for just a moment. When the tube is lifted, the audience is stunned.
SURPRISE #1 The C block is still on the bottom, but now the A block has somehow jumped to the top... and the B block has completely vanished!
SURPRISE #2 The missing B block can be magically reproduced from almost anywhere you choose. Pull it from a top hat, discover it beneath a spectator's chair, reveal it inside a desk drawer, have it appear inside someone's jacket, or arrange for an assistant to dramatically bring it in from backstage. With a little creativity, every performance can have a different surprise reveal.
SURPRISE #3
And that's not all... You remind your audience that the blocks were stacked on a magic wand. Lift the wand, and a bright red flower appears!
Teachers especially love this trick. Since everyone knows their ABCs, there's no confusion about what just happened. Even young children instantly recognize that something is missing, making this a wonderfully clear and entertaining effect. Plus the missing block can become an ongoing classroom mystery. Not only is it a school-themed trick with the A B C letters, but it can be used as a way to build anticipation and attention. Imagine making the block disappear on Monday and finding it inside your desk drawer. On Tuesday it turns up inside a supply box. By Wednesday, the principal walks into the classroom holding the missing block and asks, "Is this what you've been looking for?" Students will eagerly anticipate where the block will appear next.
Whether you're entertaining children, families, classrooms, church groups, libraries, or group audiences, the ABC Block Mystery combines comedy, audience participation, and multiple magical moments into one memorable routine. It's an easy-to-perform effect that gives you plenty of opportunities to personalize your presentation and keep audiences talking long after the show is over.
