    Make a fist with your other hand and start walking. The worm will start to follow you.
    • To make it even funnier, pretend you don't know it’s there, and when turning to see, move your fist so that it goes behind you. This works best on younger children. If you want, try with a younger sibling first.

    Make the fuzzy magic worm "ultra jump". Find two flat surfaces that are slightly shorter than the full length of the string.
  2. Image titled Do Tricks with Your Fuzzy Magic Worm Step 12
    2
    Put the fuzzy magic worm on surface one, walk behind surface two, and pull! The magic fuzzy worm will fly through the air and land right in front of you.
    • To make this more believable, stretch your hand out, say, "come here wormie" and then pull to put your hand back in place.

    1
    Make the fuzzy magic worm "sniff" and "follow a scent". Put it on the ground at full length or long enough so that it is on the ground and when you pull all it does is moves its head.
  2. Image titled Do Tricks with Your Fuzzy Magic Worm Step 14
    2
    Gently tug the fuzzy magic worm and move it around, so that only the nose sticks up and it looks like it's sniffing.
  3. Image titled Do Tricks with Your Fuzzy Magic Worm Step 15
    3
    Drag it along. Stop occasionally for sniffs, and continue.
    • To make this more believable, light a scented candle or make a scent and then start the action!
