Magician from Today! A Gentle Introduction to Magic Tricks (21–30)
Read Your Mind! Math Magic
First, choose a number from 1 to 9.
Then add 1 to that number and multiply by 2, then add 6 and divide by 2.
Finally, subtract the number you originally chose, and you’ll end up with 4.
It’s a magic trick where no matter which number you pick, the final result is always 4, so as long as you remember the steps, anyone can perform this prediction trick successfully.
As long as the arithmetic or mathematical expression holds, you can change the content and arrange it in different ways, so why not come up with your own version?
Four magic tricks using numbers
In this idea, four number-based magic tricks are introduced.
The first predicts the total of numbers written by the spectator; the second produces a result that becomes your and the spectator’s numbers; the third is a calculation trick using random numbers; and the fourth solves a multiplication instantly.
These tricks work by using formulas whose answers are determined by the numbers written, and methods that combine numbers to reach the result.
Once you memorize them, anyone can easily perform the tricks, so give them a try!
The answer is always 3!? A mysterious calculation
Have the audience think of a favorite number, then follow your instructions to calculate.
First, add 1 to the number they thought of.
Next, double that result and then add 4.
After that, divide by 2, and finally subtract the original number they thought of… Did the answer come out to 3? With this curious calculation, no matter what number they start with, if they follow the steps correctly, they will always end up with 3.
Since the audience likely doesn’t know it will be 3, reveal that you had predicted the number after they get their answer to amaze them.
Magic Circle Magic
It’s a magic trick where you instantly break down a number suggested by the audience and write it out.
For example, if the number is 35, you split it into four numbers like “7, 2, 17, 9” or “12, 14, 3, 6.” Anyone can do it if they think about it, but producing it in an instant is the impressive part.
What’s more, you write out four such groups of numbers, and no matter how you add them—by rows, columns, diagonals, the four corners, or the center number—they always total 35.
To pull off this trick, you need to memorize a base set of numbers.
Conversely, once you memorize that, you can instantly break down any number they give you!
How to bend a fork to impress girls
Classic, long-standing magic tricks: spoon bending and fork bending.
When you see how easily they’re bent, you might think, “Aren’t they just using brute force?” In fact, they really are using force—but by using a fulcrum, an effort point, and a point of action.
If you apply force well at those three points, you can bend them easily with just a little strength.
Of course, you can also easily restore a bent fork to its original shape.
Once you get the knack, it’s very simple; after that, with some showmanship, you can make it look like you bent it just by blowing on it, or even bend the fine tips of a fork into a wavy shape!

Super easy rubber band magic
Prepare two rubber bands.
Loop one around your index and middle fingers, then twist and place the second rubber band over the first as if putting a lid on it.
But in an instant, the first rubber band appears to jump to the neighboring finger—like magic.
In reality, the “lid” rubber band is also twisted, so it doesn’t actually function as a lid.
It’s a simple trick you can do using only rubber bands.

The disappearing chopsticks envelope magic trick
It’s a magic trick where you put a pair of disposable chopsticks into an envelope, give a signal, and the chopsticks seem to vanish so the envelope can be crushed flat.
If the contents were something soft, it would just look like you were crushing them along with the envelope, but because it’s something rigid like chopsticks, it conveys the idea that they’ve actually disappeared.
In reality, what looked like chopsticks is just a paper tube with chopstick-like wrinkles, made of soft paper, so the whole envelope can be easily crushed.
Since a close look would reveal the fake, it’s important to handle everything smoothly up to the moment you put it into the envelope.
