Amazing Planes 1

Introduction
 In this series of blogs I will be teaching you how to make amazing paper planes. All of them will either glide, do tricks or return back to you. But all of them are definitely masters of the air. So lets get started.

Nakumura lock
This plane is great at gliding and doing tricks. This plane is actually on of my favorite planes.

1. Start with a sheet of A4 paper and fold it in half  like this

2. Unfold like this

3. Then take the corner of a sheet and take it to the center so it looks like this

4. Take the other corner and do the same thing


5. Take the point and fold it down

6.I can't explain this so look at the picture

7. Now take the point and fold it up

8. turn it to the other side



9.  fold it in half

10. Fold the wing flaps

Now pop up the wings and let your Nakumura lock soar through the sky.

magic mania!

Introduction
All beginner magicians take out your magic wands and lets do some magic ! the magic that I will teach you are very simple but a great illusion to your eyes and your audiences. In this magic mania I will teach you how to do two very simple tricks.

Number magic:
First ask your spectator pick a number between 0 and 9 and ask them not to tell you. Lets say it is seven.  Ask them to multiply it by 2 then add it by 2 It becomes 16. Now ask them to multiply it by 5 then add it by 5. It is now 85. now ask them to multiply it by 10 and add it by 10. Now ask them to tell you the answer. It is 860. Now subtract the hundreds number by one. It becomes seven. The spectator will be amazed.

The cups and balls magic trick:
Take three cups and four balls and one pencil (the pencil is your magic wand).  Secretly put one of the balls in one of the cups then pile the rest of the cups on top of the cup with the ball.  Then take the first cup and lay it down then the second one then lay down the cup with the ball inside and don't let anybody see it. Put one of the other three balls on the middle cup then put the cup with no ball on top of the middle cup then put both cups on top of the cup with the ball. Now say I will make this ball go through both cups. Then with your magic wand tap the top cup and then mysteriously the ball would have gone through both of the cups. do this with the other 2 balls. The only difference will be that you already have secret ball in one of the cups.
 Try these tricks at home

My sister wrote her name in cursive

While I was blogging my sister was drawing. Or at least I thought she was. But actually she wasn't.  She was trying to write her name in cursive.  At first she could not write anything.  Then she figured out how to write ahana. But she couldn't write the capital S. So she called my name.  I asked her what do you need she said I don't know how to write S in cursive.  I told her I will teach her and I did. I wrote it on some paper and she copied it. Then she connected it to the rest of her name. Then she showed me and asked is this correct.  I said yes. She was pleased with herself. So she started showing it to my mom and dad. They were impressed. Then she thanked me for teaching her how to write S and connect it.  I said no problem. And that is how my sister wrote her name in cursive.

Amazing game!

 My friend taught me how to play this amazing, puzzling, mind boggling computer game. It is called forest temple. In the game their are two characters. One is Fireboy and the other is Watergirl. There are many levels. The first level, as you can tell is very easy, but as you go on they become more challenging and puzzling. I'll teach you how to play.  You move Fireboy with the up or the sideways keys. You move Watergirl with the W,A, or D keys. Here is how you pass the levels. First of all you should not mix fire and water together.  Second the green water kills them both. Third you will know when you are done because there is a finish line. You should push levers to stop the fa or to rise elevators up. If you push a button it does the same thing. the only difference of levers and buttons are that you have to stand on to the button until the other player is done with what they need to do and if you push a lever it stays like that forever. In forest temple there are three versions.  The first version is the one I am telling you about. The second one is called the light temple. The third version is called forest temple but is much more challenging.  If you want to here my opinion of the game. It is AMAZING !
