Smartphone & Digital Magic (11–20)
Smartphone magic that no one has ever seen
This is a magic trick that makes it look like you’re controlling numbers: the digits on a smartphone calculator gradually disappear, and when you wave your hand over it, they come back.
It uses the calculator’s functions—numbers are erased with swipes, and then a prearranged calculation is displayed to make it seem like the digits have been restored.
If you only show swiping and the calculation result, it ends up just looking like a feature demo.
The key is to make it feel mysterious by staging it so the vanished numbers seem to be in your hand, and by lightly touching the screen as you wave your hand to bring them back.
Smartphone & Digital Magic (21–30)
I’ll guess your phone!
It’s a magic trick where you simply follow the steps using your smartphone’s calculator, and the final total displayed becomes the last eight digits of your own phone number.
Rather than the magician doing it, it works best if the audience members input the numbers themselves.
You multiply, divide, and add numbers that seem completely unrelated, but by dividing by 2 at the end, the last eight digits appear.
As long as you follow the order and avoid mistyping, it will work—give it a try!
I’ll guess your birthday!
Let me show you a fun magic trick that guesses your birthday.
To make this trick work, you’ll need to remember and follow the steps.
First, multiply the number of your birth month by 4.
Then add 9 to the result and multiply by 25.
Next, add the day you were born and subtract 225.
Your birthday will appear! You can easily do this using your smartphone’s calculator, so give it a try if you like.
It could be a delightful surprise to perform on someone’s birthday.
Magician from Today! A Gentle Introduction to Magic Tricks (1–10)
Magic of eating a balloon
The balloon-eating magic trick you often see on TV and in magic shows.
You can kind of imagine, “They must be deflating it and hiding the shriveled balloon in their mouth,” but the secret isn’t as obvious as you’d think.
In fact, you make a small hole near the balloon’s opening with a toothpick—that’s the whole secret.
Then you put the balloon in your mouth and press it with your tongue, letting the air slowly escape.
Once all the air is out, the deflated balloon remains in your mouth, so you casually retrieve it while pretending to wipe your mouth with a handkerchief.
Unlike card or coin tricks, this one can amaze people even from a distance, making it a great choice to perform in front of a large audience.
Magic of Light
This is a magic trick where, when you place an illustration of a lit candle into water, only the flame part disappears as if real fire had touched water.
The key is that the illustration is inside a bag; when you put it in water, refraction makes the illustration inside invisible.
Since the candle’s body is drawn not only on the inner sheet but also on the bag itself, only the lines on the bag remain visible, making it look as if the flame has gone out.
If the inner illustration and the bag’s lines shift while you move it, the secret will be revealed, so a crucial point is to hold them carefully aligned.
A simple magic trick you can do with a pencil and an eraser
A magic trick where you hold a pencil in your right hand and an eraser in your left; when you tap your left hand with the pencil, you think the eraser will vanish, but instead the pencil in your right hand has disappeared.
And then next, even the eraser vanishes! The first disappearance of the pencil is done by quickly tucking it into the neckline of your shirt; while you’re explaining that, you slip the eraser into your pocket—an easy trick that uses the audience’s divided attention.
A simple magic trick with a rubber band and a bill
How about trying some easy magic with a rubber band and a bill? With familiar materials, you can create surprising moments.
Make it look like the bill passes through the rubber band, or move the bill with just a flick of your fingers—anyone can gain a touch of mystery with a little practice.
Timing and movement are key, but once you get the hang of it, it’s simple.
You might just become the magician who captivates every eye! It’s a trick everyone can enjoy, from kids to adults.
Perfect for thank-you parties, birthdays—any occasion is sure to be a hit! Now, why not dive into the world of magic?
