Do you like the kind of tricks that make people gasp? Aoife explains how to pretend to burn money. Be careful and have adult supervision if you try this one at home!
Would you rather trick a friend into only thinking they are going to get doused with water? See how a regular playing card can help you pull this off.
Are you a fan of squirting flowers but feel like they might be too obvious? Pay attention to the last demo, which involves lightly spraying somebody with a modified two-liter bottle of water.
