To make the Magic show - each panel had the same features apart from the creatures.

These are the steps to make the project:

  • Use purple tissue paper for the background and glue on to wither A4 or A3 paper/card for middle image. For side images- use pink tissue paper.

  • Use red crepe paper, cut 4 strips and glue on for the side curtains. Bend the crepe paper to give the angle of the curtains. Use yellow or red card for the curtain ties.

  • Print out the hand templates, 3 sheets needed. Cut the hands out, and place them on each panel to show the magic trick. Paint in sleeves with black paint.

  • Cut out 3 hats from black card and place with one the hands. Draw white with white paint stick on the hat to show its shape.

  • Cut out shape of bird out of colour paper/card and cut out, then paste on top of hat.

  • Cut out shape of rabbit out of yellow paper/card and cut out, paste on top of hat.

  • Paint other details on both creatures and on surroundings, for extra effect.

  • Use colour glitter to make the images sparkle for the magic effects, using glue.

  • Finally mount with black card around the edges, and fix each images together as 3 panels using black card behind the side edges.

The magic show can show any feature out of the hat, so consider colour ribbons, or flowers or anything of your choice that a magician might conjure up from the hat >>

Once the background and curtains have been pasted on, position the hands and the wand on an angle to show the magic trick. Then paste on.

You can choose whether to put the audience in the background or foreground.
