♪ Yes, gladly — Kent from this side
Here’s an introduction to a fun magic trick you can do with just a single plastic bottle.
Start by making a hole in the side of an empty plastic bottle—big enough for the bottle cap to pass through.
Prepare an object you want to put inside the bottle that’s small enough to fit through the hole.
The key is to keep the trick moving at a good pace once you start.
When you put the object through the hole, pretend to apply a quick burst of force as you insert it; this makes it look more realistic and is highly recommended.
It’s perfect for events and will definitely surprise and excite kids, so give it a try!

When you perform magic at events, the kids watch with great interest and the excitement really builds, doesn’t it? This trick features a ghost that mysteriously appears from a box.
The key is to cut a vertical slit in the back of the box to create a space for your hand.
From behind, where the children can’t see, reach in and move the puppet.
The way the puppet pops in and out of the box, or how a ghost puppet suddenly appears when you slide in a drawing of a ghost, is sure to get everyone excited.
Prepare a variety of puppets and enjoy the magic!
A magical cup that produces sweets
https://www.tiktok.com/@renamama_asobi/video/7429310906149932304With a clear plastic cup, you can perform a fascinating magic trick.
The key is to put the cup back together along with the colored paper.
Prepare two plastic cups and a sheet of colored paper.
If you trim the rim of one of the cups, the trick will look even more convincing.
Put some candy into the cup with the trimmed rim, then stack the other cup on top and insert the colored paper between them.
When performing the trick, make sure to pull out the cup with the candy and the colored paper together.
Changing what’s inside when you present it can make the performance even more exciting.
The straw pierced through
This is a magic trick where two tightly wrapped straws somehow slip through each other and come undone when you pull them.
In reality, although the straws look firmly intertwined, a clever wrapping method means they’re actually already undone from the start! It’s a trick that works especially well with slightly stiff plastic straws.
You can perform it repeatedly for kids, and if someone suspects there’s something special about the straws, it’s a great idea to let them handle the actual straws you used.
The number of dice increases
This is a magic trick where the dice placed in a paper plate multiply in an instant.
It includes an incantation element, making it quite fun and lively.
There’s some setup involved, but it’s relatively easy to prepare, and the technique required when performing is simple and not prone to mistakes, so the bar to entry is low.
The excitement of the dice multiplying adds to the appeal, and if you use colorful dice, it looks flashy too—definitely a trick worth trying.
Besides dice, you can also use small candies, blocks, or other items that kids like.
A mysterious envelope from which balloons appear
This is a magic trick where you pull a paper balloon made of drawing paper out of an envelope that was supposed to be empty.
Since you open the envelope partway through and show that there’s nothing inside, the audience has no idea how it works.
If you write a special message on the balloon, it adds to the surprise and might make the kids even happier.
When you open the envelope to show it and when you pull out the balloon, move slowly so the children can watch closely.

Make a lollipop stand upright
This is a simple magic trick using candies that kids love.
All you need is a round lollipop—it’s really easy.
The only real trick is balancing it.
Place the candy on your palm with the candy part down and the stick pointing up.
Tilt the stick and pinch it between your fingers as if holding it down.
When you open your fingers, the stick slowly rises, moving in a slightly mysterious, almost lifelike way.
Before releasing your fingers, say a magic word, and react dramatically in time with the speed of the stick rising!
