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.

Card magic

Don’t say I flipped two cards! An advanced technique explanation used only by experts.

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

[Revealed] The Ultimate Card Magic Where a Hole Closes Up [Also Works with a Cigarette or Straw] magic trick revealed

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!
