Trick #1: The trick involves displaying 2 different boomerangs in 2 different colors. One will be longer than the other. If you want, you can also make the boomerangs with some cardboard or heavy paper.
•Say all the magic words like ABRACADABRA or ALAKAZAM, and one of the boomerangs will become smaller than the other. Let’s see how.
•Both the boomerangs are of the same size. The trick is that the boomerang which is on the bottom will start to appear longer. First, you will place both the boomerangs on top of each other. This will show that both are of the same size.
•Second, you will only take the top boomerang and place it below the other. This will make the illusion of one boomerang longer than the other. When you actually look at both the boomerangs, you will start to compare the arcs. This make the entire illusion possible.
Trick #2: Learn the trick of bending the spoon without actually doing so.
•Place the spoon between the palms of your hands. Grab it properly and put some pressure over the bowl of the spoon. Remember to keep the spoon’s open side up and on a flat surface.
•The top of the handle should not be visible to the volunteer, and hence will be covered with both the thumbs.
•The positioning of the hands is very crucial, so make sure you are not letting any of your audience member and volunteer take a peek. As you are applying pressure over the spoon’s handle to bend, slide the handle into the base of your hands.
•As you hold the handle in your hands, the actual appearance will look something as if the spoon has actually bent. Keep practicing the trick so that it looks believable and also you can reverse the entire trick to make it seem as if you fixed the spoon again.
Dragon Challenge
This is a dueling roller coaster ride where two roller coasters; the Hungarian Horntail and the Chinese Fireball, inspired by Rowling’s fourth book and the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. While this may not be the fastest roller coaster in the world, it surely sets your pulse racing! Both these roller coasters reach a height of 125 feet and have a total of five inversions! What makes this ride even more thrilling than probably the tallest roller coaster in the world is the fact that, at one point, these two roller coasters pass within twelve inches of each other! Yes, that’s the whole thrill of riding a dueling roller coaster. It’s little wonder that Daniel Radcliffe himself rode this ride no less than five times! You need to ensure that you do not have any loose articles while on this ride.
Flight of the Hippogriff
This is an exciting attraction at the Harry Potter theme park, because it is a family-friendly roller coaster. You’ll start with Hagrid’s booming voice telling you the right way of approaching a Hippogriff, which was the magical creature that was shown in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. During the course of this ride, you will get to see glimpses of Hagrid’s cottage, his pumpkin patch and even Buckbeak relaxing. It will also give you a lovely view of the Hogwarts castle. This is a slower roller coaster and goes at a speed of 28.5 mph tops.
The Forbidden Journey
This has also become one of the main attractions at the Harry Potter theme park, as you get to see the inside of Dumbledore’s office and Hogwarts castle. There’s the portrait gallery and an exact replica of Dumbledore’s office. In fact, it is Dumbledore who guides you to the Defence Against Dark Arts classroom, from where you go off to tour the place and then, the 3D holograms of the three stars in their Harry Potter avatar ask you to just skip the boring tour and instead guide you to the rides where you take seat on ‘enchanted benches’. You can see dragons, the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and even dementors that will try and suck out your soul!
