Magic that excites on Children's Day. Magic tricks kids can enjoy (51–60)
Make a lollipop stand upright
This is a simple magic trick using a candy that kids love.
All you need is a round lollipop—it’s really that easy.
The key is just balancing.
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 exaggerate your reactions to match the speed at which the stick rises!
Magic Cup
Let me introduce a very mysterious “magic cup”! Once you have some thick paper and colored paper, cut them into a cup shape and create the mechanism.
If you chant a little magic spell together with the children and show the juice inside the cup gradually increasing, everyone will get excited! It also seems fun and thrilling to cover it with a towel while your hands are moving—what will happen to the juice? You can also delight the children with little twists, like revealing the fruit that turns into juice when you remove the towel!
Magic goods from a 100-yen shop
Recommended for those who say they don’t have time to practice magic or the skills to perform it are store-bought magic goods.
These days, even 100-yen shops sell a wide variety of items like wands, coins, and playing cards.
If you’re short on time or confidence, why not make use of them?
Elevator card
We use four red and four black playing cards.
The black cards are a run of numbers from 2 to 5.
In this trick, a black card that supposedly gets placed in the middle of the red cards mysteriously jumps to the top with a tap! It really uses only eight cards, but you begin by secretly offsetting one card as you hold the packet.
Once you get the hang of it, it’s easy, but it will fool your audience!

Spoon bending
Speaking of magic—the classic spoon bending! Rather than being a trick, this actually uses the fulcrum, effort, and load to genuinely bend the spoon, so it’s about mastering the “knack” of bending.
It seems spoons sold at 100-yen shops are easier to bend.
Popcorn is ready in an instant.
The magic of making popcorn appear in an instant will captivate children’s eyes! In fact, the secret is very simple.
It only uses weight and size, so even first-time performers can show it with confidence.
All you need to prepare are popcorn and paper cups.
If you pull it off, applause is guaranteed.
Another great point is that kids can easily try it themselves! The venue will be filled with smiles.
Why not experience this magical moment packed with wonder and fun yourself?
Disposable chopsticks whose mark changes color
When you flick the disposable chopstick marked with a blue symbol, it instantly changes to a red symbol.
The red mark appears on both sides, but when you stroke the mark with your hand, it turns blue again.
The back side is blue as well.
This is a magic trick where a chopstick with a blue mark on the front and a red mark on the back is skillfully twisted to make it look as if both sides are the same color.
