Coin Play Magic
Here’s a coin trick you can do with a 500-yen coin.
Stand the coin on its edge with your fingers, then rub it with your index finger to make it spin—it’s a simple magic trick.
After rubbing your finger a few times, you switch to using your thumb at the end to set it spinning.
The key is timing the switch from index finger to thumb and keeping your finger movements smooth.
You can use other coins besides the 500-yen coin, so once you learn it, you can perform this trick in all kinds of situations.
Magic that turns juice into water
This is a magic trick where juice in a glass in front of you turns into water.
Prepare a transparent cup and a cut-out piece made from another cup that includes the rim and the bottom, then color the entire piece with a permanent marker.
Stack this colored insert inside another cup, pour in water, and cover it with a handkerchief or cloth.
When you lift out the colored insert along with the cloth, it creates the illusion that the liquid’s color has changed.
It’s also fun to try with Halloween-themed yellow or purple inserts.
Magical Egg
It might be a little different from actual magic, but there’s a product called a Magical Egg that comes with a toy inside.
It contains small magic props, and many of them are simple enough for children to do.
Buying a bunch and opening them together while having fun, then showing off magic tricks to one another, really makes for a lively time!
A magic trick where you guess where the contents are
This is a magic trick where you guess which paper cup the item has moved to.
After lining up three paper cups, the magician turns away so they can’t see, and a spectator places an item into any cup they like.
After asking the spectator to swap one of the empty cups once, the magician identifies the cup containing the item.
The trick is that only the middle cup has a mark, allowing you to tell where it has moved.
Using paper cups and items with themes like ghosts, Dracula, or jack-o’-lanterns can enhance the Halloween atmosphere.
A magic trick where a different pattern appears than the one cut out
It’s a magic trick where a cutout shape in origami reveals a different design.
Fold one sheet of origami paper in half, then fold it again, leaving about 3 mm uncreased in the middle.
Open one side, fold the other side up to align with the top edge, and cut out a heart shape at the center.
For a Halloween event, cutting out ghosts or pumpkins will excite the audience.
Prepare another sheet of origami, turn it face down, fold it in half, and fold it once more.
Apply glue to the back of the cutout sheet and attach it to the edge of the second sheet—now you’re ready.
When performing in front of an audience, cut out a larger shape than the original cutout and open the paper, creating the illusion that the design has suddenly changed.
