[Surprising] Collection of Body-Based Magic Tricks [Party Entertainment/Performances] (41–50)
Magic Finger
It’s a magic trick where you twist off the index finger of your right hand wearing a work glove as if it were mechanical, then twist it back on the same way—and with just a quick shake of the hand, the finger becomes real again.
At first you’d think, “Are they hiding the finger? Is there some gimmick in the glove?” But after the shake, there’s nothing suspicious about the glove that was removed from the hand, nor about the hand itself, which is the mystery.
This is sold as a magic prop called “Finger Drop Revolution,” so if you want to try it yourself, definitely consider buying it.
Salt that vanishes in the hand
This is a magic trick where you pour salt into a tube made with your hand and, when you press it in firmly, the salt seems to vanish from your hands.
The prop used here is a thumb tip, a tool that imitates a thumb.
You load the salt into it and secretly remove the prop as you push the salt in with your other hand.
Because the salt takes up space, the thumb can look unnaturally long when the tip is on, so it’s best to keep your hands at angles that make it less visible.
It’s a simple setup where you move both hands while using a case, so you can not only make the salt disappear but also perform a production, which makes the effect look even more mysterious.
An arm clipping through the aquarium
The fish tank arm penetration magic trick that was performed on a TV show and became a hot topic.
It’s a tank with no holes, of course, and the magician thrusts an arm in from the side and pulls out a playing card.
What’s more, the arm is thoroughly wet afterward.
That proves the arm really did go into the tank.
Whatever the method, the visual impact is huge! It’s a large-scale trick that astonishes everyone.
Flashy stuff like this isn’t something you can easily imitate, even if you want to.
In conclusion
Were you surprised? I think there were tricks ranging from quite difficult to ones you can try right away.
You can copy them as they are, or consider your strengths and weaknesses and make your own tweaks.
