Easy! Magic tricks that will liven up a Christmas party: Simple tricks and their secrets (41–50)
Magic coin
It’s an easy-to-understand magic trick where a 100-yen coin in a case disappears and reappears.
There’s a gimmick inside that fits snugly into the lid, and by skillfully inserting and removing it, you can make the 100-yen coin seem to move.
To avoid revealing that you’re removing the gimmick, smooth lid handling and how you apply impact are crucial.
If you mess up the step of aligning the lid with the ring, the gimmick can spill out, so practice until your movements are precise before performing the routine.
Match, where are you going!!
I’m holding a match in my hand.
When I open my hand, the match disappears.
Then, when I close my hand, the match reappears—that’s the trick.
It’s easy to prepare because all you have to do is pre-fix the match to your thumb! Adding a sound effect, like a “boom!” when you open your hand, will enhance the atmosphere even more.
A matchstick is piercing through
If you’re looking for a super easy magic trick that anyone can do, I recommend the penetration trick using two matchsticks.
You just hold the matchsticks between your fingers and quickly release them to make it look like they pass through each other—so anyone should be able to pull it off.
By the way, this trick works not only with matchsticks but also with cotton swabs or toothpicks, so it should be easy to perform at a Christmas party too.
Magic that changes clothes in an instant
Flashy, high-energy magic tricks are a hit at parties, right? If you’re looking for that kind of magic, I recommend a trick where your outfit changes in an instant.
In this trick, your clothes literally change in a split second, which really surprises the audience.
The setup takes a bit of work, but even so, the excitement this trick creates is well worth it.
A magic trick that turns 1,000 yen into 10,000 yen
Fold the 1,000-yen bill in your hand into a small square, gently blow on it… and it turns into a 10,000-yen bill! A delightful magic trick that makes you want to do it over and over—if only it really worked that way.
Of course, there’s a method behind it (lol).
First, pre-fold a 10,000-yen bill into a small square and palm it.
Then, in front of your audience, fold the 1,000-yen bill, secretly adding the folded 10,000-yen bill behind it.
When you blow on it, it looks as if the bill has transformed into a 10,000-yen note.
Next, conceal the 1,000-yen bill while unfolding and displaying the 10,000-yen bill!
Pinky-shrinking magic
A simple magic trick you can do anywhere with just your hands—no props needed.
Hold your right pinky firmly with your left hand, then apply pressure and…
the pinky gets shorter! It’s a trick where the finger appears to shrink.
As you might guess from watching, you hide the base of the finger with the hand that’s holding it, and then simply bend the pinky backward while making it look like you’re pressing hard.
Still, doesn’t it give you a little shiver when you see it? With the right presentation, it really gets a reaction.
Practice so the pinky looks straight from the viewer’s angle.
The signature I thought I wrote…
A magic trick that makes it look like a signature written on one playing card has moved to another.
First, remove the jokers, shuffle the deck, and have a spectator pick a card.
Next, after signing the card, perform the action of removing it from the deck twice.
When you bring the two chosen cards close together, the signature appears to transfer onto one of them.
In reality, you use a double lift to stack the same card.
Practice so your hands move smoothly from the spectator’s point of view.
It’s a sure-fire trick to liven up a festive Christmas party.
