This is a magic trick where a drawing placed on a rubber band appears to move against gravity.
To perform it, use a rubber band cut with scissors and a piece of construction paper folded in half with a drawing on it.
The secret lies in how you hold the rubber band.
Hold one end of the rubber band with your right hand, grip and stretch the middle area with your left hand.
Once you place the folded paper on top, you’re ready.
Gradually relax your left hand to let the stretched rubber band return.
In reality, it’s not the drawing that’s moving—it’s the rubber band underneath.
A magic trick where juice comes out endlessly
The idea of juice flowing endlessly is like a dream come true for kids, isn’t it? This is, of course, a magic trick, so the juice isn’t actually increasing.
The method is very simple: twist the can’s pull tab around and tuck the corners at both ends under the spout.
Doing this makes the juice stop when the can is held upright and flow again when it’s tilted.
Both the setup and the performance are easy, so be sure to show kids this dreamy magic trick!

A magic trick where a paper ball passes through a cup
Roll a tissue into a ball and place it in a paper cup, then cover the cup with a handkerchief and secure it with a rubber band.
Since the cup is covered by the handkerchief, the ball shouldn’t be removable, right? However, this paper cup actually has a removable bottom.
While it’s hidden by the handkerchief, remove the bottom, take out the ball, and put the bottom back—this makes it look as if the ball has passed right through.
If you have an audience member do the steps up to securing the rubber band, it feels even more convincing that there’s no trick, and the surprise when it “passes through” is greater.
A magic trick where a paper cup balances on a paper plate
It’s a magic trick where you balance a paper cup on the rim of a paper plate.
Since the plate is very thin, normally it would be impossible to place a cup on it.
But with a certain gimmick, it works! The secret is to support the bottom of the paper cup with the thumb of the hand holding the plate.
It’s a very simple method, but the audience usually doesn’t notice it.
To make the trick seem even more mysterious, after placing the cup, move your hand around it to show there’s no string attached!
Magic that manipulates light
The mysteriously glowing light that emerges in the darkness is a motif that really emphasizes Halloween’s eerie image.
This is a magic trick where you snatch that uncanny light with your left and right hands, move it around, and even capture it in a paper bag.
The method is simple: light-up gimmicks with buttons are concealed in both thumbs and in the paper bag, and you switch them on at just the right moments.
The key is to keep your whole body in motion as you go through the routine so there’s no suspicion about your thumbs or the contents of the bag.
Being mindful of your facial expressions and using them to draw the audience’s gaze can also be very effective.
A magic trick where sweets come out from all sorts of places
When it comes to Halloween, candy is an essential element, isn’t it? This is a magic trick that captures that Halloween excitement, with sweets appearing from all sorts of places.
The phenomenon of treats emerging from seemingly impossible spots also evokes the idea of a playful ghost’s prank.
The setup is simple: hide a tissue-wrapped candy and pull it out at the same time as other tissues.
The key is to proceed in a way that, through your other actions, prevents the audience from noticing the mechanism or the sound of the candy.
Magic that makes a match light again
Halloween is an event strongly associated with nighttime imagery, like ghost motifs, and flames are essential as a way to light up the darkness.
This is a magic trick where a used match, whose bright flame has already gone out, appears to ignite once more.
You use a pen to color the tip of an unused match black and mix it in with the used matches, making the audience assume they’re the same.
Paying attention to how you apply the black coloring is important too, so that it looks as natural as possible when placed among the used matches.
