Echo Eggs Magic Trick And Method -Tutorial

Effect

Three plastic eggs are shaken, and at will of the magician, each egg will either make a sound or not. Even after the eggs are mixed up, each one can still make a sound or not make a sound. (This trick is just like the 'Rattle Bars' trick, except there are eggs instead of bars.)

Preparation
Get three plastic easter eggs, with a hole at the bottom of each one. It is best if they are the same color, but it doesn't matter if they are not.

Then, get three buttons. They can be any size, as long as they fit inside the plastic eggs.

Finally, get some thread. It can be invisible thread, or normal thread. (Invisible thread is the best, because you do not have to hide the thread.) Tie a piece of thread to each button, not cutting the thread too long. Then, put each end of thread through the hole at the bottom of the eggs. Leave the thread hanging out, then close the eggs with the buttons in them.

Method

Start out by picking up a random plastic egg, hiding the thread. Hold onto the thread, but do not pull. Shake the egg to make a sound. Then put it down, and mix up the eggs, still hiding the thread sticking out.

Then, you can let them choose the egg they think does not make a sound. Each time they say an egg will make a sound, do the opposite of what they say. To get an egg to not make a sound, pull the thread in your hand, still hiding it. Shake the egg, to hear nothing. Continue to do this for a while, but end either each egg making a sound, or each egg ending silent.

Advice: This trick can seem easy, but really is not. You cannot let the spectator(s) see any thread throughout the trick. Work on hiding the thread, unless it is invisible thread. If it is invisible thread, then this trick is examinable, just don't let them touch the plastic eggs.
