Magic that excites on Children's Day. Magic tricks kids can enjoy (1–10)
A magic trick you can do with seven playing cards

This is a magic trick where you return the chosen card to a packet of seven cards, and then flawlessly name which card it was.
The key is how you mix the cards after the return—at this point, you bring the selected card to the bottom of the packet.
From there, you use techniques like catching a pinky break and turning over two cards at once to secretly move the selected card.
Adding a phase where a seemingly different card is placed in the spectator’s hand but then transforms into the chosen card makes the effect even more astonishing.
Magic of Light

This is a magic trick where, when you place an illustration of a lit candle into water, only the flame part disappears as if real fire had touched water.
The key is that the illustration is inside a bag; when you put it in water, refraction makes the illustration inside invisible.
Since the candle’s body is drawn not only on the inner sheet but also on the bag itself, only the lines on the bag remain visible, making it look as if the flame has gone out.
If the inner illustration and the bag’s lines shift while you move it, the secret will be revealed, so a crucial point is to hold them carefully aligned.
Eraser Magic

This is a magic trick where you squeeze an eraser in a paper sleeve in your hand, blow on it, and it turns into an eraser without the sleeve.
Then you squeeze it again and blow, and the paper sleeve comes back! You repeat this effect.
It’s more of a gimmick than a secret technique.
All you need is two identical erasers and a bit of tinkering, so it’s something kids can easily try.

vanishing tissue

Hold a tissue lengthwise and start rolling it up in your hand.
Then tear off the part sticking out, and when you open your palm, the wadded tissue that should be there has vanished? In reality, you tear it off while you’re pushing it in and secretly hold it in your other hand.
Try it together with everyone! When you do it as a group, people will go, “Why?” and it’s sure to get everyone excited.
Revival of the newspaper

There’s a routine you often see on TV or at magic shows where a torn piece of paper becomes whole again.
Here’s how to recreate it.
First, prepare two newspapers: one to tear, and the other to reveal later.
Attach a wire to the one you’ll reveal.
Then, hide the wired newspaper inside the opened newspaper.
After you tear the visible newspaper, clamp the torn section between the wires and then open the newspaper.
The torn part gets concealed, making it look as if the paper has been restored.
A coin passes through a glass

A magic trick where you tap a coin resting on your palm a few times with the bottom of a glass, and the coin that should have been on your palm seems to pass through the bottom and end up inside the glass.
There’s no gimmick involved; at the moment you tap with the bottom of the glass, you subtly lift the coin and scoop it up with the glass.
It takes a bit of practice.
From an empty paper bag…?

An empty paper bag—when you pat it and rustle it, something comes out from inside.
The trick is simple: there’s a hole in the back of the bag, and you just put your hand in and pull out something you had in your pocket through that hole.
It might be nice if a little present pops out.
