Card Magic / Playing Card Tricks (11–20)
A shuffle with a setup? Super easy card magic
A mysterious magic trick where, as if guided by the chosen card, you add the numbers of two cards and turn over that many cards to find the card you selected at the start.
It seems mysterious, but the secret is very simple: the deck is cut so that the initially chosen card is on top, and you pretend to make a mistake once at the beginning.
After that, the card reveals itself automatically.
Card Magic / Playing Card Tricks (21–30)
You can do calculations with playing cards!? Simple playing-card magic
In this magic trick, you do a calculation using two selected playing cards.
For example, let’s say the selected cards are a 6 and a 2.
Add 6 and 2 to get 8… then when you turn over the 8th card from the top of the deck, an 8 will appear.
This is a self-working trick, meaning it requires no sleight of hand.
By placing the 4, 8, Q, and 3 at predetermined positions in the deck beforehand, doing the math will make the correct card appear from the deck.
At the beginning, you show three cards, but in fact all three are 6s—and the next three cards are all 2s!
Number Guessing Card Magic
I’ll introduce a magic trick that uses playing cards to find a spectator’s chosen card.
This one requires almost no sleight of hand, so just learn the steps and practice to perform it smoothly.
First, have a spectator choose any card.
Return that card to the deck, then deal the cards onto the table one by one into three groups.
Ask the spectator to confirm which group contains their chosen card.
Repeat this process three times.
After the third round, the chosen card will inevitably end up in the middle of its group, so finish by making that card dramatically pop out to surprise your audience.
Coin and Money Magic (1–10)
A magic trick where a 10-yen coin turns into a 500-yen coin
This is a reveal video for a delightful magic trick where a 10-yen coin turns into a 500-yen coin.
You can use any small coins without any problem.
It’s a trick that changes money.
It’s simple, so it could be great for pleasing or surprising people at a drinking party.
A magic trick where a coin instantly teleports into the spectator’s hand
It’s a magic trick where you hold the other person’s hand with your right hand, and there should be a coin in your left hand… yet somehow the coin drops from your right hand into their palm, as if it teleported.
In reality, you pretend to transfer the coin from your right hand to your left, but you never move it to the left hand; instead, you clamp it at the base of your right thumb and index finger.
It takes a bit of practice, but once it’s smooth, it’s a flashy trick using just a coin.
The coin inside the handkerchief disappears.
Let me show you an easy magic trick using a handkerchief and a coin! It’s best to perform it where there’s a table.
Once you stick a piece of double-sided tape—smaller than the coin—on the top-left corner of the handkerchief, you’re ready to go.
Place the coin in the center of the handkerchief, then start folding it up from the taped corner.
The key is to show the back side of the handkerchief while keeping it folded so that the spot where the coin is stuck isn’t noticeable.
If you cast a magic spell using some funny words, it’ll make the performance even more exciting!
Pen magic that produces a coin
It’s a magic trick where, after signaling with a ballpoint pen to a hand that should be empty, a coin appears in the hand.
In fact, a coin is fitted into the pen’s clip from the beginning, and while keeping that part out of view, you move it into the hand.
Pay attention to how you hold the pen when showing that your hand is empty, and how you conceal the coin when moving the pen.
If the clip or coin catches inside your hand, people will suspect a gimmick, so it’s also crucial to judge the position where it can be removed smoothly.
