A roundup of finger magic tricks: 10 tricks you can do using just your fingertips (1–10)
Fingers linked into a ring
This is a penetration magic trick where your linked fingers, which form a loop and shouldn’t come apart, mysteriously pass through each other.
First, use both hands to touch your thumbs and index fingers together to make loops.
Then interlock the two loops.
Show the audience that the loops can’t come apart.
While you’re moving your fingers, secretly insert the middle finger of one hand into the loop, and in that moment, slip the index finger out to make it look like the loops have separated.
It might feel tricky at first, but practice makes perfect!
The rubber band penetrates.
The rubber band penetration trick is a mysterious bit of magic that captures the hearts of onlookers.
This trick uses an illusion that makes it look as if the rubber band passes right through your fingers, making it perfect for enjoying with your kids or showing off to friends.
It’s sure to be a hit at parties and gatherings, too.
You hardly need any props, so it’s easy to get started.
With a little practice using guides or videos, you can master it quickly.
Its simplicity makes it easy for audiences to understand, so give it a try!
Teleporting between fingers
This is a magic trick where a ring made from a banknote teleports from finger to finger.
Even if you watch closely, you can’t figure it out at all! The trick is surprisingly simple, but it may feel a bit difficult if you’re not dexterous.
As with any magic, practice is everything to make it look natural! If you’re confident in your dexterity, give it a try!
Finger Magic Roundup: Tricks You Can Do Using Just Your Fingertips (11–20)
broken finger
This magic trick where the index finger bends 90 degrees in an impossible direction could make people scream on the spot if performed well.
But in reality, it’s not the left index finger that’s bending—what looked bent was the right thumb.
The left index finger is bent at the second joint and hidden, and the right thumb is pressed against it.
On top of that, the seam is cleverly covered with the right index finger.
Keeping a good pace is the key to making it look clean, but it’s a good idea to practice in front of a mirror to learn a natural way to cover it.
Vanishing Little Finger
A magic trick where you make your pinky disappear using nothing but your hands and practice.
If you bend your pinky backward and hide it behind your ring finger, it looks perfectly gone from the front—that’s the idea.
Once you know the secret, you might think, “Oh, that’s all?” but it’s surprisingly hard.
It takes quite a bit of practice to make it look cleanly vanished.
Another key point is to do it smoothly and naturally so the moment you hide it isn’t noticed or caught.
Once you can make your pinky disappear smoothly, it seems you can do the same with other fingers using the same method, so give it a try!
Tape wrapped around a finger
Wrap a piece of tape all the way around your index finger.
When you cover that finger with your other hand, the tape vanishes.
Then, with a quick little magic gesture, it’s back exactly where it was, wrapped around the same spot.
It’s a simple trick, but it gives you a little jolt for a moment.
Finger light
A man’s fingertips suddenly begin to glow faintly.
That alone is a curious sight, but the light moves to his other fingers, seems to disappear into one ear only to pop out of the other, and wanders about at will.
The gently wavering light makes for a slightly dreamlike piece of magic.
