Activity Overview
Add a touch of magic to your day with this quick and easy Magic Comb Trick. Mesmerize your audience when you are able to pick up small scraps of ordinary paper with your incredible magic comb.
Your comb is not magnetic like it seems, however. When it combs through your dry hair, it produces static electricity which attracts the opposing charge of the lightweight pieces of paper. This creates a small amount of magnetic activity.
Aspiring magicians of all ages are sure to master this fun magic trick with ease. Perform this trick for your friends and family at your next gathering. It is so quick and easy that it can be performed any time of day!

How To Do It
- Talk to your audience about your magical magnetic comb.

- Say some magic words and instruct the comb to pick up the mess of paper in from of you.
- Move the comb over the tiny pieces of paper.
- The paper fragments will leap up onto the teeth of the comb.
