[Coin, Trump, Pen, etc.] Compilation of Magic Tricks Where Objects Disappear (21–30)
A magic trick where the coin in your hand disappears
Making a coin disappear in your hand is a classic magic trick! It’s simple, yet truly astonishing.
Here are three ways to perform a vanishing coin trick.
To make the coin appear to vanish, you can hide it in your hand, flick it into your sleeve, or drop it onto your lap.
These tricks require technique and practice, but if you keep at it, you’ll succeed—so stick with it patiently.
It’s best to practice in front of a mirror or by recording yourself to make sure the coin isn’t visible to your audience.
Trump disappears in midair
A magic trick where, even though you’re watching right in front of you, a card doesn’t just vanish once—it repeatedly disappears and reappears on the magician’s hand.
Rather than an exposure, this is an application of a card magic technique called the “back palm.” So let’s learn this technique, master card control, and amaze everyone! Once you’ve got it down, you can present it in many different ways, and as long as you have a single card—not just a full deck—you can perform it anywhere.
Ultra-simple yet difficult coin vanish
It’s a magic trick where a coin that you seemingly placed firmly in the center of your palm disappears when you open your hand.
The key is how you grip the coin: by holding it with a slight gap, you create a mechanism that causes the coin to pop out when you shake your hand.
The next important part is how you catch it—the motion of the gripping hand and the way you overlap the other hand cleanly conceal the coin that pops out.
If you also pay attention to how you hold the coin with the catching hand, you can control where the “vanished” coin later appears, which I highly recommend.
Eraser disappearance magic
This is a magic trick where, after signaling with a pencil to an eraser placed on your hand, the eraser seems to vanish from your hand in an instant.
The action of tapping and counting with the pencil is crucial; on the final signal, you quickly move the eraser.
Since you’re moving the eraser while being watched, be mindful of making the movement fast enough not to be noticed, as well as of your hand angle.
Rather than striking with just the pencil tip, it’s better to bump with your whole hand holding the pencil—this shortens the distance you need to move the eraser and is recommended.
The routine of making a cigarette vanish and appear
This is a magic trick where a cigarette that appears to go into the nose comes out of the mouth, or a cigarette that looks like it’s absorbed into the elbow comes out of the ear—freely controlling the disappearance and reappearance of the cigarette.
It’s a simple routine where the cigarette is merely concealed to look like it has vanished, depending on how you hold and move it.
Be mindful of sliding your fingers when putting it into the nose, and of the motion of hiding it inside the other hand when touching the elbow.
Not only delicate finger movements but also facial and body reactions are crucial points for concealing the moment of appearance.
Disappearance and reappearance of a lit cigarette
The smoke is billowing up, yet the cigarette is nowhere to be seen? How about a magic trick where a lit cigarette seems to vanish? If you can perform it smoothly, it might give you a cool edge.
The trick uses blind spots created when your hands are crossed or your fingers are pressed together, and the method is to keep showing the side that doesn’t have the cigarette.
It’s somewhat like pen spinning.
Of course, since it involves a lit cigarette, be careful not to burn yourself! Actually, you can do it even without the cigarette being lit.
Pinky Steel Varnish
This is a magic trick where you flick a coin into your hand, give the closed hand a light shake, and the coin seems to disappear.
The key is the hand that appears to receive the coin: instead of actually putting it into the hand, you secretly trap it between the pinky and ring finger.
As you apparently drop the coin into your palm, you catch it with the extended pinky, then immediately clamp it with the ring finger and pull it back toward your hand.
Keeping your index finger extended to indicate the coin is in the hand is also crucial—it helps conceal the coin you’re secretly holding.
