Magic that excites on Children’s Day: A collection of simple magic tricks (21–30)
Magic where the Pocky’s chocolate disappearsNEW!

One of the snacks kids love most: Pocky! When you think of Pocky, you picture chocolate coating a stick, right? This is a magic trick where that chocolate seems to vanish and reappear in an instant.
The secret is super simple: just shave off the chocolate on the back side of the stick! Rotate the Pocky with your fingers—show the back when you want the chocolate to disappear, and show the front when you want it to come back.
If you hold another chocolate snack in your other hand and reveal it when you show the back side, it will feel like only the chocolate has transferred over there.
Finger-multiplying magicNEW!

Many people have five fingers on each hand—ten in total, right? This trick turns those ten fingers into eleven.
You don’t need any props, so feel free to give it a try.
First, while singing “I have one finger,” raise one finger from a closed fist.
Then continue: “two, three, four.” After you finish the same way up to seven, end with “nine, ten, eleven.” In other words, you skip eight.
But when people are watching your fingers as they listen, they surprisingly don’t notice!

Magic where something real comes out of a pictureNEW!

It’s a magic trick where real candy pops out from a basket drawn in a picture book.
At the end, the drawing itself changes, and the candy that was inside disappears, which adds to the sense of wonder.
The key points are the angle at which you show the illustration and how you use up-and-down movements, hiding a gimmick such as a bag of candy behind the book and using it during the routine.
Be mindful of smoothly turning pages and your reactions so the audience doesn’t catch on to the secret.
Magic that changes the pictureNEW!

It’s a magic trick where the picture changes when you dip it in water.
The setup is very simple! First, draw any picture you like on a white sheet of paper.
Then put it in a transparent, sealable bag, and next, draw another picture on the outside of the bag.
That’s all the preparation for this trick! When you perform it, just fill a cup with water and dip the bag in.
Since it uses light refraction, no special technique is required! It’s great for beginners to try.
It’s recommended to coordinate the drawing on the bag with the one inside!
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.
Magic you can perform with three playing cards

It’s a magic trick where you lay out the Ace of Hearts and two Kings on the table and ask the spectator to track where the Ace of Hearts is, but the Ace ends up in a different spot than they think.
The key lies in the card positions and the way you turn them over.
Using a pinky break technique, you make the spectator believe the Ace of Hearts is in a different place within the packet.
You also arrange the cards on the table so the faces can’t be seen, and because the order of the packet isn’t what they think it is, they’ll also imagine the table layout incorrectly.
There are unique moves, like turning over two cards as one, so it’s crucial to make your actions smooth to avoid creating any sense of inconsistency.
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.
