Some require a few simple props (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4nFcAT7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I\u2019ve linked the accessories* for you<\/a>), while others you can pull off on the spot without much effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">), while others can be done spontaneously with little effort.\n\nThe most important item for elf magic is \u201cmagic dust\u201d! Of course, you can perform tricks without it \u2014 but a sprinkle of glitter makes everything a little more magical. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4nFcAT7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Craft glitter* works beautifully,<\/a>and for edible tricks, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4nFcAT7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">edible shimmer dust*<\/a> is absolutely perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(*The links marked with an asterisk (*) are affiliate links.
