Magic where chopsticks disappear
It’s a magic trick where you vigorously shake a bag containing a pair of chopsticks, and the chopsticks seem to vanish from the bag and instantly appear in your other hand.
You’ll need two chopsticks and a bag; add a gimmick to the chopstick that goes into the bag.
Simply shorten that chopstick so it’s shorter than the bag, allowing it to retract inside when you shake the bag.
Hide the other chopstick inside your palm, and as the chopstick in the bag is concealed, produce the hidden one on the outside at the same moment.
Pay attention to your angles and presentation so the audience doesn’t realize the chopstick is stowed inside the bag or that you’re concealing one in your hand.
A magic trick where a coin disappears from the table
It’s a magic trick where you slide a coin across the table with your fingertips, then move your hand away—and the coin has vanished.
Even though you’ve been sliding your finger on the table right in front of the spectator the whole time, they’re left wondering: when and where did it disappear? The method is very simple: while you’re sliding your finger, you secretly have your other hand waiting under the near edge of the table, and you just drop the coin into that hand.
As for the tapping sound when you appear to tap the coin on the table, it’s actually made by the coin held in the other hand, tapping the underside of the table.
Silk that disappears from inside a handkerchief
It’s a fascinating magic trick where, when you put a silk into a handkerchief, it somehow disappears from inside the handkerchief.
This uses a thumb tip prop, and by placing the silk inside it, it makes it look as though the silk has vanished.
Tissue Vanish Magic
A magic trick where the tissue you’ve been holding in your hand disappears.
You take a single tissue and roll it up so it fits in one hand.
You tear off the bit that’s sticking out and place it on the table, and then—what should be the remaining tissue in your hand is gone.
In reality, the part that’s sticking out is torn off before you start rolling, and the rolled portion isn’t in the hand that’s supposedly holding it, but in the hand doing the rolling.
You then simply hide or dispose of it.
It’s an easy trick you can do anywhere as long as you have a tissue.
Coin vanish using a handkerchief
It’s a magic trick you can do right away with just a handkerchief and a coin.
Spread the handkerchief out on the table and place a coin in the center.
Fold each of the four corners of the handkerchief in toward the coin, placing them over it.
After folding, have the people around you touch the handkerchief to confirm that the coin is still in the middle.
Then, when you unfold the handkerchief right there… the coin has vanished.
It’s so simple that it makes you go, “Huh?” The secret is just as simple: attach double-sided tape to one corner of the handkerchief so that, when you fold it, the coin sticks to that spot.
Disappearing!? Beaker
Ordinary glass, like that of a beaker, lets us see what’s inside by using light reflection and refraction.
However, oil and glass have the same refractive index, so when you pour oil into the glass, you can no longer distinguish what’s inside.
As a result, the beaker inside seems to mysteriously disappear.
It’s a science magic trick that requires no technique at all.

Snap change
When you see a magic trick where a card instantly changes into another one, it’s astonishing, isn’t it? With a single technique, you can make a card change to one with different numbers and suits, or even transform a card into a coin.
It’s called the Snap Change, said to be named after the snapping motion of the fingers.
By snapping your fingers and moving the card carefully, the card appears to teleport.
Once you learn the Snap Change, it’s a technique with a wide range of applications.
No matter the age, people will be riveted by a card that changes in an instant.
