Easy! Party-pleasing magic tricks for a Christmas gathering: Simple magic and reveals (11–20)
Magic where the Pocky’s chocolate disappears
A magic trick that makes the chocolate on a Pocky stick seem to disappear in an instant.
First, prepare a Pocky and some Choco Balls.
Shave off the chocolate from half of the Pocky, and you’re ready.
For the method: present the side of the Pocky that still has chocolate to the audience, and as you make the motion of removing the chocolate, rotate the stick half a turn.
Then reveal the Choco Ball you had secretly palmed.
To “put the chocolate back,” simply reverse the motions—it’s easy.
Try performing this at a Christmas gathering or party to liven things up.
Mysterious Rope
It’s a magic trick where three colored strings go into a tube and, with a magic spell, end up connected as one.
You take the three strings one by one, roll them up, and put them into a transparent container.
Stack them visibly so everyone can see, leaving the ends of the strings slightly sticking out of the tube.
Then, after casting the spell, you pull the strings out—and for some reason, the three colors are joined together and come out as a single string! The secret is that the transparent tube is divided vertically into two compartments, and on the hidden side there’s already a single string that’s been connected in advance.

While cutting the deck, you ask the spectator to say “stop” at any moment, then you turn the deck face up.
There, written in marker, is the location where a present has been placed—that’s the trick.
The secret lies in the way you cut: it looks like you’re genuinely shuffling, but in reality you only ever move the top portion, keeping the card with the written location fixed at the very bottom.
After that, you simply act as if you’ve done a proper cut and turn the deck face up.
It’s simple, but combined with the impact of “a present is prepared,” it’s hard for people to catch on!
Spoon-bending magic
At Christmas parties, there are always spoons, right? Why not use one to try a spoon-bending magic trick? It’s a trick where you bend a spoon resting on your palm without using your hands—apparently it relies on an optical illusion.
When it comes to pre-bending the spoon, though, it seems you actually bend it with brute force, so it’s recommended for people with some strength.
A bottle placed in an envelope disappears.
If you put a bottle into an ordinary, everyday envelope and press the envelope tightly, normally the envelope should take on the shape of the bottle.
But for some reason, the envelope gets crumpled up instead—and when you restore the envelope, the bottle comes out properly from inside.
In fact, there’s a slit pre-cut at the bottom of the envelope, and when you crumple it, the bottom of the bottle gets pushed out through the envelope.
Adjust your body angle to hide the bottle smoothly.
A magic trick where the color of the water in a plastic bottle changes
A simple magic trick that even kids can do is this one where the water in a plastic bottle changes color.
At first glance, it’s just an ordinary bottle filled with clear water.
But if you say a magic spell and shake it… the water turns bright and colorful! The secret is very simple: a small amount of paint is applied to the inside of the bottle cap.
When you shake the bottle, the paint dissolves into the water and changes its color.
If you put the paint on the cap and close it right away, the paint may drip into the water, so it’s better to leave the cap with the paint on it for a bit to let it partially dry before sealing the bottle.

Magic using a smartphone
A heart-pounding magic trick that lets you know someone’s smartphone passcode.
You can use it as a magic performance, but it’s also a handy technique if you secretly want to find out a family member’s or partner’s passcode.
It uses the iPhone’s calculator: first, have the person enter their passcode so the performer can’t see it, then have them add a random four-digit number.
After that, by pressing the minus button and then the equals button, you can immediately see the originally entered number—taking advantage of how the calculator works.
