Magic that excites crowds at cultural and school festivals

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids.

With both arms tied together with a cord, you thread another cord through that cord and have a spectator hold it.

With the cords neatly overlapped, you cover them from above with a handkerchief.

Then, when the spectator pulls the cord they’re holding…

it slips right out, yet the hands beneath the handkerchief remain firmly tied.

How on earth did the cord come out? It’s a baffling magic trick, but the secret is simply this: under the handkerchief, use the strength of your palms to loop the cord being pulled over one of your wrists.

When the spectator pulls, it slides free.

This is definitely the kind of trick that’ll get a “Do it again!” request.
