Magic that excites on Children's Day. Magic tricks kids can enjoy (21–30)
A banknote that should have been cut but isn’t
You thrust a knife into a banknote sandwiched in paper, yet when you pull it out, the bill is pristine with no hole! It’s an astonishing magic trick, but the method is simple.
First, prepare a sheet of paper folded in half.
Fold the banknote in half the same way, align the creases, and place the bill between the paper.
Holding it with the crease on top, insert the knife from below, but shift the bill to one side so that you only pierce the paper.
Be mindful of your finger movements while performing so it doesn’t give away that you moved the bill to one side.
A magic trick where the coin in your hand disappears
Making a coin disappear in your hand is a classic magic trick! It’s simple, yet truly astonishing.
Here are three ways to perform a vanishing coin trick.
To make the coin appear to vanish, you can hide it in your hand, flick it into your sleeve, or drop it onto your lap.
These tricks require technique and practice, but if you keep at it, you’ll succeed—so stick with it patiently.
It’s best to practice in front of a mirror or by recording yourself to make sure the coin isn’t visible to your audience.
Rope escape magic
If you want to amaze your friends with a simple trick, the Rope Escape Magic is perfect.
You only need two items: a string and a handkerchief.
Interlace your fingers tightly, tie both thumbs firmly with the string, and cover your hands with the handkerchief to hide them.
The key is to pull on the string with your thumbs while tying, leaving just a bit of slack.
It looks securely tied, but you can actually slip your hands out.
Fan your hands a little and say, “Whew, it’s a bit hot,” and you’ll start hearing, “Wait, did you get out?” along with murmurs and laughter.
It’s a trick anyone can master quickly—ideal for beginners.
Card Throwing
They’re small, flimsy cards that would normally drop right away if you threw them, but for some reason they fly with great force and can even slice a cucumber! The cards aren’t ordinary paper playing cards but plastic playing cards, and with a few throwing tricks they seem to fly straight and powerfully.
Chopstick floating magic trick
This is a magic trick where a chopstick inserted into an empty plastic bottle slowly rises as if lifted by invisible force, without touching it.
The supporting hand only holds the bottom, and the gesturing hand does not touch the chopstick—this change creates a sense of mystery.
A fishing line is attached to the chopstick in advance and connected to the performer’s clothing, allowing the chopstick to be moved by adjusting the distance between the bottle and the clothing.
It’s also important to consider the viewing distance so the fishing line isn’t noticed.
Magic that changes color in an instant
It’s a magic trick that looks mysterious precisely because the change happens in an instant: the paper clipped in place changes color the moment you take it away.
In fact, while the paper of the initial color is clipped, the paper with the changed color is stacked behind it, and the original paper is retracted to the base of the clip by a concealed rubber band at the same moment the clip is released.
It’s important to be mindful of how you apply pressure to the clip, to achieve a speed that doesn’t reveal the rubber-assisted movement.
Because the color changes distinctly within a small area, it helps the audience focus on the phenomenon right in front of them, which enhances the effect’s appeal.
Simple and Mysterious Magic
It’s a magic trick using a board with arrows pointing in different directions on the front and back.
By supporting the board with your fingers and rotating it, or changing where you hold it, the arrows can appear to line up or differ even more.
The illusion comes from switching between holding the side or the corner, which changes the rotation and makes it seem like the directions have changed.
Since there’s no hidden mechanism altering the arrows, you can turn it slowly and still clearly show the change—adding to the sense of mystery.
The explanation based on optical illusion is tricky, so even the performer can find it puzzling.
