Easy! Magic tricks that liven up a Christmas party: Simple tricks & reveals (21–30)
Envelope and Star Magic
It’s a magic trick perfect for a romantic Christmas night: when you cast a spell on the envelope, the stars you put inside multiply, or the stars that should have been separate turn out to be connected.
The method is simple—prepare an envelope with a double structure and preload a string of connected stars in one of the pockets, then, after the cue, take the stars out from that side.
Since you show the inside of the envelope before putting the stars in and after taking them out, make sure the flap can be closed perfectly so the audience doesn’t notice it’s double-layered.
Smoothly switching pockets when you remove the stars, as well as your hand angles and how you hold the envelope, are key points.
Eraser Case Magic
It’s a magic trick using an ordinary-looking eraser: you remove the sleeve, hold just the eraser in your hand, and blow on it… and the sleeve reappears as if it were never taken off.
Blow on it again, and the sleeve disappears.
In reality, the eraser with the sleeve removed has a gimmick—pieces of the sleeve are attached to just two sides.
While making the gesture of blowing, you simply roll the eraser in your hand to switch the faces.

Smartphone magic where candy pops out
These days, everyone has a smartphone.
Let me show you a magic trick using one.
First, take a small photo of a little snack with your phone, then enlarge it to life size.
Hide the real snack between your phone and your palm, and as you slide your thumb across the screen and pull sideways, it looks just like the snack pops out of the phone screen.
It’s easy, so give it a try! It’s simple, but it will amaze everyone.
Magic where juice comes out of a smartphone
Are you familiar with an iPhone app called ichocolatedrink? With just this app and a small paper cup filled with a drink, you can create an effect that makes it look like the beverage is pouring out of your smartphone.
First, download the app and pour a drink into a small paper cup.
Since you’ll need to hold the phone in front of the cup, try to use a cup that’s as flat as possible, and make the spout area especially narrow.
Try to coordinate it so that the drink on the phone screen and the drink in the paper cup disappear at the same time.
Smartphone coin magic trick
It’s a magic trick where you press a coin against a smartphone placed over a glass, and even though there’s no hole, the coin appears to pass through the phone and drop into the glass.
The fact that the coin you were pressing is no longer there makes it really look like it penetrated.
You prepare two coins: in addition to the coin you press, another coin is set up between the smartphone and the rim of the glass.
Then, as you make the pressing motion, you slide the phone to let the hidden coin fall, while using the angle of your fingers to make the coin on top seem to vanish.
Magic that turns smartphone photos into reality
It’s a magic trick that makes a wish come true: turning a photo on your smartphone into a real, physical picture you can hold.
Even though a finger touching the screen should only make the image move, if you slide it briskly outward, the photo on the screen disappears and the real one pops out.
The key is preparing the image in advance: display an enlarged version of a photo taken from a distance, and leave blank margins around the outside.
Then, as you slide, you bring up the blank margin on the screen while producing the real photo hidden behind the phone.
That’s the flow of the trick.
3 smartphone magic tricks
This is a magic trick where various phenomena happen around a smartphone—something that might feel especially uncanny to people who use their phones every day.
The phone remains steady even in situations where it should lose balance, the numbers on a calculator vanish with just a wave of the hand, a coin passes through—impossible scenarios unfold one after another.
The secret is thread for stabilization, pre-set calculations and a swipe for the calculator, and a coin set up in advance, so proceed in a way that doesn’t reveal the preparation.
If your hands are examined front and back too closely, you’ll be exposed, so keeping a brisk pace is also crucial.
