Magic that excites at cultural and school festivals (61–70)
Two straws
It’s the perfect trick to perform at a school festival magic show.
Cross two straws and wrap them together, then simply blow a ‘magical breath,’ and the straws—which should be impossible to undo—mysteriously come apart with ease.
With this unexpected moment happening right before the audience’s eyes, the venue is sure to erupt in astonished excitement.
Once you’ve set up the gimmick, it’s easy to perform; with practice, you’ll be able to pull it off flawlessly and amaze everyone with a performance worthy of a pro.
Definitely give it a try!
Card magic
When people think of magic performed at a school or cultural festival, many might imagine large, dynamic tricks suited for the stage.
But if you film your hands with a camera and project the footage onto a screen, you can perform card magic even on a big stage like a gymnasium.
Card magic often involves audience participation, so inviting a few people from the seats to help will make it even more exciting! There are many types of tricks—like elevator cards, card revelations, and predictions—so be sure to research various routines and give them a try.
Magic where the hole in the playing card disappears
It’s a magic trick using an ordinary-looking playing card: when you cast a spell on the card, your finger seems to pass right through it.
That alone is surprising, and then the card returns to normal.
Of course, there’s a solid method behind it—you use a gaffed card.
Prepare two cards of the same face and one different card, for a total of three.
With a utility knife and double-sided tape, you can easily make the gaffed card.
After that, just practice your presentation!
Handkerchief magic: a knot that comes undone in an instant
It’s handy to have a magic trick you can perform on the spur of the moment during small bits of free time.
So here’s one to introduce: a handkerchief trick where a knot instantly comes undone.
You take an ordinary scarf and tie its ends tightly together, but with a slight tug it mysteriously unravels.
There’s no special gimmick—through the knotting method and your presentation, it looks like it’s tied very tightly.
That means you can even borrow a spectator’s handkerchief or use any other cloth to perform it.
It’s also a perfect lead-in to other handkerchief magic.
Ring Magic
Ring magic is so exciting to watch, isn’t it? The way a ring appears and disappears with just a flick of the fingers—that quick, snappy pace is irresistible.
If you perform it on stage at the school festival, it’ll definitely get the crowd going.
Plus, the great thing about this trick is that it doesn’t require difficult techniques.
As long as you set up the gimmick, all that’s left is practice.
Wow the audience with a performance worthy of a pro.
Make it a wonderful magic show that captivates everyone’s eyes.
A magic trick where a cellphone goes into a plastic bottle
An ordinary plastic bottle filled with water.
Pour the water out of the bottle, then tap your smartphone against the bottle and—boom! In an instant, the phone is inside the bottle! It’s a quick magic trick.
The secret is that the bottle actually has a large hole in the back, and you just insert the phone through it.
If you use a bottle with a square, bumpy pattern, you can’t see the slit at all from the front.
Just practice pouring the water into a cup in a way that hides the hole, and you’re good to go!
Water from newspaper!?
Even though you pour liquid into a newspaper, wait—somehow it ends up in a paper cup! This magic trick will astonish anyone watching.
The secret is to hide a paper cup behind the newspaper from the start.
When you make it look like the liquid disappears into the newspaper, quietly nest two paper cups together and set them on the table—success! Then just cast a little spell on the newspaper and pretend to pour water into the empty paper cup.
It’s simple, yet a fun trick that will keep everyone’s eyes glued to you!
