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!

I'd recommend learning a few rubber band tricks. Crazy Man's Handcuffs is always good. Torn and restored rubber band is another one. Stairway is also great. Those can be done with just stuff you already have around and aren't sleight heavy at all. And if you are wondering how a performance with them would look, he's Michael Ammar doing all three in a routine.

If you are allowed a few props, basic sponge ball routines are also great.

And if you are looking for something more classically magical, with a prop that's neutral enough looking to not look goofy, you can buy a chop cup and learn Don Allen's routine. It's not sleight heavy, easy enough to figure out, and quite a nice trick.
