Disposable chopsticks move on their own
When it comes to classic magic, telekinesis tricks are the go-to, right? They look flashy and get the crowd excited, but many people think they’re difficult.
However, there are telekinesis tricks that are actually easy.
One of them makes a disposable chopstick appear to move on its own.
First, attach a rubber band to the tip of the chopstick with tape.
Then loop the rubber band around your thumb, grip the chopstick, and gradually loosen your hold.
It will look as if the chopstick is moving by itself.
This one is sure to amaze kids.
A magic trick where juice comes out of a magic bag

Juice appears from an empty paper bag! To pull off this simple trick—where there’s a hole on the side of the bag—it’s crucial to handle the bag smoothly.
Punch a hole in the bag, place the juice inside, and you’re ready.
Slip your hand through the hole to hold the juice, then use your other hand to casually rotate the bag to show there’s “nothing” inside.
Set the juice on the bottom of the bag and recite a magic spell.
Then, present the juice to the audience as if it has just appeared.
Head-dropping magic
One trick that became famous because the renowned TV magician Cyril often performed it is the “falling head magic.” This trick requires some preparation.
First, you make a base using a hanger, tape, and an S-hook.
Then you hang this base over your shoulders and put your clothes on over it to hide the setup.
During the performance, you tilt your head left and right and act like something’s off.
Then, as you pretend to sneeze, you push the base up from below, lifting your clothes from the inside.
From the audience’s perspective, it looks like your head suddenly drops down.
It’s a pretty scary-looking trick, so it’s perfect for the Halloween season!
Head Detachment Magic
Challenge the illusion magic of decapitating your head! Once you inflate a balloon and stick it to a sheet of spread-out newspaper, you’re ready to go.
Hide your head with the newspaper, tilt your head forward, and wrap the balloon with the newspaper.
From the audience’s perspective, the balloon looks like your head, so if you slowly move the “head” (the balloon) away from your body, the decapitation trick is complete! This can be hard to perform with long hair, so it’s recommended for those with short hair.
Inflate the balloon to roughly the size of your head, and make sure the audience can’t see what’s really happening.
A magic trick where you can no longer place a card
It’s a magic trick where, when you try to place a card on the table, it ‘refuses’ and jumps back to the deck.
It really looks like the card doesn’t want to be placed, but in fact you’re pressing the card against the table with your finger and catching it as it springs away from the surface.
The key is to press the corner of the card with your index finger.
Start by practicing making the card jump.
Once you can get good distance, practice sending it to a specific spot, then practice the catch.
Work through these steps to master the move.
Magic trick where sweets appear from a paper cup
Two stacked paper cups that should have been empty produced candy when a spell was cast! In truth, this magic trick already has candy hidden in the cups from the start.
The candy is placed in the bottom cup, and on top of it is another cup with the bottom cut out.
You remove the top cup, turn it upside down, and show that there’s nothing inside.
Then, instead of putting it back on top, you place it on the bottom, making it look like you’re now checking the lower cup.
In reality, you’re showing the same bottomless cup twice.
Magic where juice gushes out
Some people want to perform magic using items available at the party venue.
In that case, I recommend the magic trick where juice seems to gush out.
First, cut a paper cup into a shape like a guitar pick.
Then prepare another paper cup and attach it diagonally from the rim.
Using a hot glue gun makes the attachment smooth.
When pouring, if you position the modified rim at the bottom, it will look as though the cup has emptied once.
Be sure to test it once beforehand to make sure the setup works before performing.
