Magician from Today! A Gentle Introduction to Magic Tricks (21–30)
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.
Simple Magic Tricks with Everyday Items (1–10)
A magic trick where a bill passes through a spoon
It’s a magic trick where you sharply strike the crease of a folded bill with a spoon, the spoon appears to pierce through the bill, but when you remove the spoon and unfold the bill, it’s back to normal.
You prepare two spoons, hold them slightly offset so the back spoon sticks out, and place the folded bill between them.
By pressing the front spoon against the inside of the crease, the back spoon sticks out farther and becomes visible first, making it look as though it pierced the bill.
To avoid revealing that you’re holding two spoons, it’s best to use plain, flat spoons with minimal decoration.
Potato Chips Switcheroo Magic
This is a magic trick where you hold a potato chips tube behind a paper bag to signal a change, and it swaps with a different flavor tube that was supposedly inside the bag.
You use two types of tubes, and you prepare a gimmick in advance on one of them, so be mindful of how you present it to avoid giving anything away.
The preparation involves attaching the outer label of a different flavor to half of the tube, so it’s important to remove and handle it in a way that doesn’t reveal the back half, along with a smooth wrist turn.
To prevent the gimmick from being discovered, it’s also a good idea to clean up quickly after performing the trick.
