Fans of clever wordplay will love “YES, NO, MAYBE SO.” This captivating routine combines two amusing word gags with a classic children’s show format, leading to a surprising twist that delights both kids and adults.

Perfect for ages 7 and up, this trick is great for birthday parties, school events, or family gatherings. At this age, children start to enjoy riddles, puns, and wordplay, making this performance a fantastic fit for their interests.

The magician begins by showing a sign that reads “NO” and asks the children if they can read. They confidently respond, “Yes,” but when asked to identify the word, they insist it’s “No.” The playful exchange continues until they finally recognize the word is indeed NO.

Next, the magician claims he will change the word on the sign. He flips it to reveal ON, OZ, and then ZOO, but the children quickly catch onto his trick of simply rotating the plaque.

In a final display of true magic, the magician transforms the word NO into YES and back again. The children suspect he’s just turning the sign around, but when he agrees to do so, he reveals the word NEVER. He humorously admits, “Actually, I always do that,” and flips the sign to show the word ALWAYS.
