Easy! Magic tricks that liven up a Christmas party: Simple tricks and reveals (1–10)
Illusion Chimney
It’s a dreamlike magic trick: a flat sheet of paper turns into a chimney when flipped over, and then presents come out of the chimney one after another.
The secret is that a milk carton is actually attached to the flat paper; while showing it to everyone, the carton is hidden inside the table.
When the paper is flipped, the carton is smoothly pulled in, and the preloaded presents come out from inside.
Magic that makes a tissue disappear instantly
It’s a magic trick where the tissue you’re holding disappears when you cast a spell.
You hold a single tissue in your hand.
You let a few centimeters of it stick out between your thumb and index finger, and you crumple the rest into your palm.
Then you tear off the part that’s sticking out, and when you cast the spell, the crumpled tissue in your hand has vanished.
The secret is that you actually tear the tissue while holding it in one hand, and as you crumple it, the tissue is transferred to the other hand—the one doing the crumpling.
Rubber Band Penetration
This is a magic trick where an ordinary rubber band seems to pass through your finger.
With a small tweak to how you hold the band, anyone can do it easily.
It’s important to hide your grip from the spectator’s line of sight.
Practice in front of a mirror!
A bottle comes out of an envelope.
This is a magic trick where a hard, three-dimensional bottle is produced from a thin envelope that was folded flat just moments before.
It’s perfect for celebrating Christmas with a festive drink or for presenting a Christmas gift that’s similarly rigid and three-dimensional like the bottle.
The preparation involves a slit cut into the envelope; you proceed in a way that the envelope’s fold conceals it.
Then, you take the gift you’ve hidden under your jacket or similar clothing, conceal it behind the envelope, slide it through the slit, and pull it out from the top.
Key points include how you display the envelope so the slit isn’t discovered, choosing clothing that can hide the gift, and maintaining smooth, natural movements and posture that don’t give anything away.
gushing juice
Rub a black sheet of paper over an empty, transparent cup, and orange juice will seem to gush out! The sight of juice appearing from thin air is sure to liven up your Christmas party.
The secret is to prepare two transparent cups: one empty and one already filled with juice.
Keep the juice-filled cup hidden behind the black paper, and at the moment you bring the paper over the empty cup, nest the two cups together to reveal it.
There are actually two cups there, but because they’re transparent, they look like a single cup.
Give it a try!
An ordinary rubber band turns into a star shape
This is a magic trick where you blow on a rubber band that was stretched and hooked on your fingers to form a star shape, and the rubber band—which should be a circle—ends up set in a star shape.
You use a rubber band that has been pre-conditioned to remember the star shape, and proceed in a way that conceals this by switching it and stretching it.
From the moment you take it out, you hook it on your thumb and index finger and keep it stretched, but to make it seem circular, you start with a penetration trick using two rubber bands.
By removing one and showing it placed as a circle, you lead the audience to assume that the other one forming the star is the same type of rubber band.
Magical Christmas Card
This “Magic Christmas Card” is sure to amaze kids with card tricks that seem almost like real magic! But it’s actually very simple and can be made easily with things you have at home.
Prepare several cards.
These cards should feature Christmas-themed illustrations.
Then make a special gimmick card with a question mark on it: fold it in half and set a rubber band inside as the mechanism.
Prepare a box that fits the cards.
When a card is chosen, pretend to mix it with the others, but secretly hook it onto the rubber band inside the gimmick card, push it in firmly, and put everything in the box.
As long as you hold the box tightly, the card won’t come out.
When you loosen your grip, the card will smoothly rise up.
