The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using physics tricks to practice the critical thinking skills of senior high school students. The critical thinking skills determined are analyzing, evaluating, applying, generating ideas, and exploring ideas. This type of research is pre-experimental using one-shot case study design. The effectiveness of the use of physics tricks is seen from the critical thinking skills and student responses. Research subjects were 50 senior high school students. Analysis of the data used is descriptive statistics. Effectiveness scores are measured using a Likert scale. Physics tricks are effective if the scores of critical thinking skills and student responses indicate more than 60% are good and very good. The results obtained are 1) the score of students' critical thinking skills is categorized good and student responses are categorized very good. The results concluded that the physics trick was qualified to be used to practice the critical thinking skills of senior high school students. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
