Simple magic tricks with everyday/household items (11–20)
Magic where the contents of a snack move
This is a magic trick where the candy inside seems to move, and you can do it without any practice.
Prepare something like gum that comes in a small box.
Choose something as small as possible that makes a sound when you shake it.
Once you have four, empty three of them, and attach one to your right wrist with a rubber band or something similar.
Then say, “Out of these three, only one has something inside,” and shake the boxes.
When you want to create the illusion that the contents are in the box, grab and shake with your right hand; otherwise, use your left hand.
Casually switch hands so it doesn’t get noticed.
pierced plastic bottle
This is a penetration magic trick using a plastic bottle! You’ll need a plastic bottle with a label, a utility knife to make a hole, and tape glue to reattach the label.
For the prep, first peel back the label.
Then, at a spot that will be just barely covered by the label, cut a hole large enough for the bottle cap to easily fit through.
Since you’ll be using a knife here, make sure to do this with an adult.
After making the hole, stick the label back on.
If the adhesive has weakened, use tape glue to help it stick.
That’s all the prep! Now you can strike the cap forcefully against the hole you made, making it look as if it passed through and went inside!
Toothpick Vanishing Magic
Here’s a simple magic trick you can do with just a toothpick and a rubber band.
The toothpick disappears in an instant.
It’s perfect for killing time while you’re waiting for your food at a restaurant, so give it a try.
First, wrap the rubber band around the toothpick and pull it tight so it won’t come off.
With the rubber band still on your hand, hold the toothpick between your thumb and index finger.
When you release your thumb, the band snaps back and the toothpick vanishes instantly.
Long sleeves are recommended to keep the band out of sight.
Toothpick jumping magic
Here’s a magic trick that makes it look as if a toothpick moves on its own by telekinesis.
All you need are two toothpicks, so it’s easy to try at a meal, over drinks, or at home—and the casual vibe really adds to the charm.
The method is simply to apply pressure to the toothpick you’re holding and move it little by little, but because the spectators’ attention is drawn to the other toothpick, they won’t notice that you’re actually moving it.
It’s easy, so give it a try!
Tissue Vanishing Magic
This is a magic trick where a tissue held in your hand disappears in an instant, and all you need is a single tissue—so it’s easy to try! First, place the tissue between the thumb and index finger of your left hand, then use your right hand to roll the tissue into a ball in your left palm.
Tear off the part sticking out of your left hand, say a magic word, and… the balled-up tissue vanishes.
The secret is that before rolling it up, you’ve already torn the tissue with your left hand, and when you roll it with your right hand, you secretly switch the tissue to your right hand.
It might be a bit tricky to do without the audience noticing, but it’s simple and worth trying!
