Easy! Magic tricks that liven up a Christmas party: Simple tricks & reveals (21–30)
Mean Christmas Tree
Here’s a magic trick that’s very easy to do, quick to learn, and looks great.
A card placed in a bottomless envelope is held by both the spectator and the magician; although they flip it over in the same way, the orientations end up mismatched.
You only need an envelope and a card, so it’s easy to try.
The secret isn’t revealed in this video, but try thinking it through and see if you can figure it out.
Teleporting Gum Magic
Prepare boxes of gum labeled mandarin, grape, and strawberry.
Shake them and let the audience hear the sound to confirm there’s something inside.
Then, by making a motion as if you’re moving the mandarin gum into the grape box with your finger from the outside, the mandarin box becomes empty and the mandarin gum appears to have moved into the grape box.
Some of you may have figured it out already, but the mandarin box was empty from the start.
You have a box with contents attached to the arm hidden by your sleeve, and when you “shake” the empty box, you’re actually letting them hear the sound from that hidden box.
It’s a seasonal trick, but it requires no practice and is easy to perform.
Cocoa Cigarette Appearance Magic
Let me introduce a magic trick that would make anyone happy if it were real: cocoa cigarettes appearing from an empty box! The setup is very simple—just place a piece of cut cardstock inside the box.
When you want to show that the box is empty, use the cardstock to hold the cocoa cigarettes in place so they don’t come out.
When you want the cocoa cigarettes to appear, simply release your hand from the cardstock.
If the cardstock is too small, it may come out together with the cocoa cigarettes or fail to hold them properly, so cut the cardstock to the largest size that will just barely fit inside the box when creating the gimmick.
erasable pen
Let’s try a magic trick where a pen in your hand vanishes right before your eyes when you cover it with your other hand! First, hold a pen horizontally with one hand.
With your other hand, cover it from above so the pen can’t be seen.
Then, suddenly, the pen disappears.
To reveal the secret: attach a string to the end of the pen, and at the same time you cover it with your hand, pull the string to tuck the pen into your clothing.
The key is to hide the string well with your hand and give it a quick, firm pull.
Since this trick works best with long sleeves, try wearing a Santa outfit and give it a go at Christmas!
Magic of moving illuminated lights
It’s a magic trick where illuminated lights move in sync with your hand movements.
Put on a Thumb Tip Light—a glowing fingertip—and show off freely flowing motions! Since you can make it look like you’re actually moving Christmas tree ornaments and decorations, it’s perfect for a Christmas party performance.
You can create the illusion of lights traveling through the air or even make it look like you’re eating them—there are plenty of creative ideas to explore.
Pay attention to the timing of switching the lights on and off, and give it a try!
I’ll teach you a coin magic trick that’s surprisingly hard to see through.
It would be great to have a magic trick that’s simple yet hard to figure out, right? If you’re looking for such a trick, I recommend this coin teleportation magic.
In this trick, you simply toss the coin to the other hand at the moment you appear to close your fist, but with practice you’ll be able to toss the coin at a speed that can’t be seen.
It’s very easy, so be sure to learn it.
A can of juice you can control
Let me show you a simple magic trick using a can of juice.
In this trick, the juice you’re pouring into a glass will stop when you say “Stop,” and start flowing again when you say “Start.” The secret lies in the pull tab.
By rotating the pull tab so it overlaps the spout and pushing the tip down inside, the juice won’t come out when you turn the can upside down.
It’s an easy trick you’ll want to try if there are canned drinks at a party.
Adults can do it, and kids can too!
