A large amount of candy comes out of a paper tube.
Wouldn’t it be great if sweets appeared out of nowhere? This magic trick, where a large amount of candy comes out of a paper tube, makes that childhood dream come true.
The gimmick is actually very simple.
First, roll up a piece of paper to make a tube and put candy inside.
It helps to stuff some tissue paper into the bottom.
Next, wrap paper around the tube from both the left and right sides.
When you open it up, the tube is hidden and it looks like a single sheet of paper.
Once you’ve set up the trick, all that’s left is to produce the candy and amaze the kids!
A cup wrapped in paper disappears?
Cover the glass on the table with paper and crumple the paper around the glass.
Then grab the glass over the paper and spin it around on the table.
Next, pound the paper with your fist from above and—“The glass is gone!” The trick is that while you’re moving it around on the table, you secretly drop the glass underneath and just crush the paper that’s shaped like the glass.
It’s simple, but flashy enough to liven things up!
A magic trick where chocolate appears
This is a magic trick where chocolates that should be gone seem to magically reappear.
Prepare two identical chocolates: empty one case and stack it underneath the case that still has chocolates.
When you take a case out of the box, show the audience the empty one to emphasize that there’s nothing inside.
The next time you take a case out, show the one with the chocolates—this is the gimmick.
As long as the case can be smoothly taken out of the box, you can substitute other sweets as well.

Ghost Magic
It’s a magic trick where a matchbox starts moving on its own, as if an invisible ghost were playing a prank.
The simple act of moving a small matchbox perfectly fits the image of ghosts having fun on Halloween.
The method is simple: you set up a piece of invisible thread inside the matchbox beforehand, then pull the thread without letting anyone notice to move the box.
Since it’s a gimmicked matchbox, the key points are how well you conceal the setup and how smoothly you hook the thread with your hand.
A little ghost coming out of a box
This is a perfect magic trick for Halloween where a ghost pops out of a box.
By having the ghost appear and go back inside repeatedly, you can try out various movements.
Prepare a divider inside the box and place a puppet inside.
Make a hole at the back of the box so you can put your hand in and move the puppet—this is the trick.
The key is to keep your gaze on the audience when putting your hand into the box and when moving the puppet.
As an advanced variation, you can use a puppet whose head and hands can move, and perform a routine that includes making voices and expressing movements.
Magic that turns drawings into real sweets
This is a magic trick where the illustration on a candy box disappears and turns into real candy.
First, cut out the illustration on the candy box with a craft knife.
Place the cut-out illustration back over its original spot and then put it into a clear bag.
After taking the box out of the case’s bag, move the illustration by hand to make it look like the candy picture has vanished.
The trick where you show the audience the real candy hidden in the palm of your hand succeeds if you conceal it properly when moving the illustration and during the moment of hiding.
A pencil piercing through a banknote
You might think, “Stabbing a pencil through a 10,000-yen bill? What a waste!” But when you pull the pencil out… there isn’t a hole anywhere.
The secret lies only in how the bill is folded—super simple.
A regular pencil works just fine.
It’s a magic trick with big impact thanks to the thrill of “Am I about to ruin a 10,000-yen bill?”
