Coin and Money Magic (11–20)
Transformation Card
This is a transformation card magic trick.
You use three queens from a deck of cards.
After showing the three queen cards and turning them face down, when someone pulls out the middle card, a joker appears.
Here’s the setup: cut one of the three queen cards diagonally and tape it onto another queen card.
Hide a joker underneath that and place it in the middle.
Then hold the cards in a fan so the joker can’t be seen.
This way, it looks like there are three queens in a row.
When you turn the cards face down and have someone pull the middle one, the joker appears, which is sure to surprise them!
A magic trick that turns 1,000 yen into 10,000 yen
Have you ever daydreamed that the money in your wallet might somehow increase without you noticing? Here’s a magic trick that seems to grant that wish: a folded 1,000-yen bill turns into a 10,000-yen bill when unfolded again.
All you need is a 1,000-yen bill, a 10,000-yen bill, and some cellophane tape.
Fold the 10,000-yen bill down to a size small enough to be hidden by your fingers, and tape it to the corner of the 1,000-yen bill.
Next, fold the 1,000-yen bill until it’s the same size as the 10,000-yen bill, then flip it over and unfold it—this makes it look as if the bills have been switched.
Glass penetration magic using the classic palm
This is a magic trick where a coin you’re holding seems to pass through a glass.
It uses the classic palm, a method of hiding a coin at the base of the thumb.
You make it look like you’re holding a glass in your left hand and a coin in your right, but in reality the coin is palmed in the same hand as the glass.
Then, at the moment it appears to transfer from the right hand, you simply drop the coin into the glass.
Since the sound of the coin falling adds to the effect, use a transparent glass.
A magic trick where a coin passes through the hand
This is a coin magic trick where a coin that should be clenched in your hand seems to pass through your palm and appear on the back of your hand.
It’s a classic trick you can do anywhere as long as you have a single coin.
For this trick, you hold the coin inside your closed hand with your index finger and thumb slightly parted, and at the moment you shake your hand, you smoothly let the coin slip out through that gap, transfer it to the other supporting hand, and bring it to the back of your hand.
With a little practice, it seems doable!
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.
Magic that makes it disappear just by rubbing a coin
This magic trick requires no preparation and can be done with just a single coin.
Try this mysterious routine where, as you rub the coin on the table, it somehow disappears before you know it.
The secret is simple: while you’re rubbing, you secretly move the coin under your hand, let it fall off the table, and trap it between your feet.
People’s eyes stay glued to where the coin just was, so they don’t notice at all.
It’s a good idea to practice in front of a mirror to refine your hand movements.
A magic trick where a pen penetrates a banknote
It’s a magic trick where a pen is thrust straight through a banknote folded in thirds! But after a little “incantation,” strangely enough, there’s no hole anywhere.
The secret is that on the back side of the note, which is folded in thirds, the section where the pen goes through is pre-creased as a mountain fold into a triangle.
If you make the crease in advance to set the shape, it will fold into a triangle smoothly when you fold the note in thirds, so you can confidently push the pen through that spot!
