I’m going to show you a magic trick where the water you supposedly pour into a newspaper disappears.
Hold a newspaper folded into quarters in one hand, and behind it secretly hold a paper cup along with the newspaper.
Pour the water from a glass into the paper cup hidden behind the newspaper as if you were pouring it into the newspaper.
It’s amazing to see that the newspaper doesn’t get soaked.
I demonstrated this with a quarter-folded newspaper, but feel free to adjust the size as you like and give it a try.
If a child is performing, the key is to use a larger cup so they don’t spill the water.
A mysterious cup that produces sweets

I’ll introduce a delightful surprise magic trick where candy appears in a cup that previously only had colored paper.
The method is simple: prepare two plastic cups, and trim the rim of the one that will hold the candy.
Because the cups are transparent, even when stacked it looks like there’s only a single cup.
A key point is to first take out the colored paper and the cup together and show that the inside is empty.
Then hide the candy-filled cup by stacking it with the colored paper, say your magic words, and lift the paper—candy appears in the cup that was empty! It’s a trick that kids absolutely love.
A paper bag whose contents disappear

I’ll introduce a magic trick where the contents of a paper bag seem to disappear.
Using a paper bag, even though there’s nothing inside, if you pretend to toss something in with one hand, you’ll hear a “kasha” sound as if something landed in the bag.
It looks empty, so you can’t help but wonder why there’s a sound— that’s the trick.
The secret lies in how you hold the paper bag.
Pretend to toss an object into the bag with one hand, wait a moment, then move the bag’s handle to create a sound.
This makes it seem like something actually fell into the bag.
It’s a simple illusion-based magic trick—give it a try with your child!
Magic that changes the color of tea
https://www.tiktok.com/@picoton_craft/video/7375078182854167825Here’s a fascinating magic trick you’ll want to watch over and over, where the color of juice in a cup changes when you stir it with a straw.
First, make “juice” by mixing povidone-iodine (Isodine) with water, and prepare a separate stirring straw for each cup.
Put a bit of your chosen paint color and one chlorine tablet (calcium hypochlorite) inside the mouth end of each straw to set up the trick.
When you use these straws to stir the iodine-made juice, the paint and chlorine dissolve, causing the color in the cup to change.
Stirring quickly with the straw alters how fast the paint dissolves, making the trick more likely to succeed.
A magic trick where candy is broken by hand power
https://www.tiktok.com/@renamama_asobi/video/7445296227589033236I’m going to show you a magic trick where a snack placed on your palm breaks using “hand power.” The secret is a rubber band wrapped around your wrist.
Pull the wrist rubber band and loop it around your little finger from behind; then pinch it between your thumb and index finger.
After that, place the snack on your palm—setup complete.
When you move as if opening the palm that has the rubber band hooked, the rubber band’s force will instantly snap the snack—hand power magic! It happens in a split second, so watch closely so you don’t miss it!
A mysterious ring that changes color
https://www.tiktok.com/@watako.hoiku/video/7407661922704755986It’s a curious magic trick where the color of a hexagonal ring seems to change instantly when you flip its orientation.
The secret lies in how the hexagon is made.
The front and back are different colors, and both the front and the back are split into two different colors.
In other words, of the six sides of the hexagon, three have light blue on the front and pink on the back, while the other three have pink on the front and light blue on the back.
With this setup, simply flipping it upside down can make the ring appear to change color depending on the viewing angle.
However, if it’s seen from certain angles, the secret becomes obvious, so the trick is to perform it while keeping an angle where the method won’t be revealed.

Self-working prediction magic

You’ve probably come across tricks that claim “No practice needed!” but then turn out to require at least a bit of getting used to—like those clickbait thumbnails on video sites.
The magic introduced here, however, is taught from the perspective of a science/engineering college student.
You precisely predict the number of cards handed to you by the spectator, which feels truly mysterious! It looks like a magic trick, but it’s actually just a mathematical phenomenon.
As long as you memorize the steps, anyone—from young children to quite elderly folks—can perform it.
