Best Answer

As an active magician and magic effect collector, I believe the oldest known magic trick is the Cups and Balls routine, which some say dates back to ancient Egypt. The Cups and Balls involves the most fundamental principles in magic, such as misdirection, and is one of the most learned tricks for beginner magicians and enthusiasts alike.

What was the first magic trick?

Nobody knows exactly what the first magic trick was, or when magic began. The earliest known magic performance was around 2600 B.C., performed by and Egyptian named Dedi. This trick was similar to the modern "cut a lady in half" trick, but instead of cutting a lady in half, it beheaded an animal and then brough it back to life, unharmed. However, it is suspected that magic had been developeding long before that. Many people will think that the Cups and Balls trick is the oldest, because it is the most common today, but it developed somewhere between 2500 and 2200 B.C., over a century after Dedi's magic.

Is magic tricks a verb?

No, Magic Tricks is not a verb. Trick is a noun. It is being modified into more than one trick using the 's'. Hence - Tricks. Magic, while also typically a noun, is acting like an adjective here and modifying tricks to explain what kind of trick it is. Eg. Is it a nasty trick or a mean trick? No. It is a magic trick. So no, magic tricks is not a verb. The exception would be if you said magic does tricks. Like how mirages trick the eye.
