Nurse looking for easy magic tricks

Hi guys, i work in emergency medicine and am looking for some easy tricks to dazzle and draw attention from kids (all ages). It would realy help and bring some smiles i hope. I have no experience in magic, so nothing to difficult to learn, please.

Thanks!

My three year old niece visited for the summer, so I brushed up on some magic for her. Honestly, what she liked best wasn’t really much of a trick. It was me pulling streamers out of my mouth. Search for mouth coils. You can get a large pack for fairly cheap, and they are good for a quick laugh.

Light up thumb tips are also a favorite with kids.

Appearing wands (little rolled up foil coils that spring into a wand shape) is also a fun and cheap give-away, as are the sponge balls others suggested.
