Card Magic / Playing Card Tricks (11–20)
A magic trick where two cards that are far apart stick together.
It’s a magic trick you can do easily with a deck of cards, but it looks really difficult.
The spectator’s chosen card and your chosen card are supposed to be separated, yet before they know it, they end up together.
First, shuffle and mix the cards.
It’s fine to let the spectator cut them too.
While saying, “See, they’re all mixed,” you secretly remember the bottom card.
Then have the spectator choose a card, and pretend to remember the card beneath it.
By stacking the spectator’s chosen card on top of the bottom card you’ve memorized, they’re already together, so you can casually cut the deck a few times to show it off—done!
Card Magic / Playing Card Tricks (21–30)
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.
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!
Coin and Money Magic (1–10)
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!
Magic that changes color in an instant
It’s a magic trick that looks mysterious precisely because the change happens in an instant: the paper clipped in place changes color the moment you take it away.
In fact, while the paper of the initial color is clipped, the paper with the changed color is stacked behind it, and the original paper is retracted to the base of the clip by a concealed rubber band at the same moment the clip is released.
It’s important to be mindful of how you apply pressure to the clip, to achieve a speed that doesn’t reveal the rubber-assisted movement.
Because the color changes distinctly within a small area, it helps the audience focus on the phenomenon right in front of them, which enhances the effect’s appeal.
A magic trick where a coin that should be there disappears
This is a simple magic trick using a coin and a bandana.
It’s the kind where a coin that should be there appears to vanish, and the secret is revealed as well.
You stick the coin to the bandana with double-sided tape so it looks like it’s gone.
It’s very easy, so you can do it right away.
Magic where a coin disappears
A magic trick where a coin that should have been on an empty table vanishes in an instant.
The coin that was supposedly being tapped on the table is nowhere to be found.
The secret is that when pulling the coin toward yourself, you catch it with your left hand positioned under the table, while your right hand only pretends to hold it.
The tapping sound you hear is actually the left hand knocking from underneath the table!
