Box Appearance and Disappearance Magic
Here’s an introduction to a card-box magic trick that a famous magician has even performed on TV.
While shuffling a deck of cards, the card box suddenly appears.
In fact, by adding a certain gimmick to the deck, you can make the box appear and disappear.
You stick a panel showing one face of the card box onto a single playing card.
When you set this gimmicked card at the bottom of the deck and then flip the deck over, the box appears.
Once you know the secret, it seems simple to do, but to keep the method hidden, quick and skillful hand movements are also important.
Master it and be sure to show off a surprising magic performance!
Oil and Water
Oil and Water is a magic trick where red and black cards separate like oil and water.
When you see it on TV, it’s hard to tell what the secret is, right? It can even feel like it uses high-difficulty techniques.
But actually, as long as you follow the steps, it’s a relatively simple trick you can pull off! However, you will need a technique called a break, where you use your pinky to create a small gap in the deck.
It takes practice to make this look natural, but once you master it, you’re sure to amaze your audience! Give it a try.
Card revelation using a civil cut
It’s a magic trick where someone picks a card, returns it to the deck, and you shuffle.
From that state, using a special mixing method, the chosen card seemingly rises to the top.
Because it’s an unfamiliar and complex-looking sequence called the Sybil cut, it appears as though the cards are being thoroughly mixed, but in the end, it simply reveals the bottom card of the deck.
It also gives the impression that a classic technique—bringing the selected card to the very bottom—is being concealed by the Sybil cut’s elaborate appearance.
The way the packets are split and the finger movements are handled smoothly throughout is what makes it look complex and keeps the secret from being noticed.
Visitor
A magic trick using the four Queens and a freely chosen card.
The chosen card is sandwiched between two of the Queens and mixed into a deck that has been cut in half.
The remaining two Queens are placed on top of the other half of the deck.
Now you have two packets, but astonishingly, the originally selected card travels to the other packet and appears between the Queens there.
It’s baffling and seems inexplicable, yet the secret and the techniques involved are surprisingly simple and not hard to understand.
However, the real challenge lies in how smoothly and naturally you can perform it without creating any sense of awkwardness.
collector
Prepare four Aces and have the spectator choose three cards.
The three chosen cards are lost separately in the deck, and the four Aces are placed on top of the deck.
Then, with a snap of the fingers… the three selected cards appear sandwiched between the four Aces.
This is a classic of magic, and there seem to be many methods to perform it.
The key is how naturally you can set up the trick within a very smooth flow.
Practice thoroughly so you can perform breaks, triple lifts, and thumb counts naturally.
Prophecy Card
Prophecy card magic is the ultimate technique for astonishing an audience! Even though they think they freely chose a card, the outcome matches the prediction, leaving everyone blurting out, “Huh!?” But behind that surprise lies a finely tuned setup and lots of practice—aligning card orientations, hiding a prediction on the back of a slip of paper, and so on.
Once you learn these behind-the-scenes techniques, you’ll be well on your way to joining the ranks of magicians! Even IU acknowledges the charm of this magic, and you’ll surely be captivated by it.
Keep practicing and get ready to amaze your friends!

It’s called the Snap Change, said to be named after the snapping motion of the fingers.
By snapping your fingers and moving the card carefully, the card appears to teleport.
Once you learn the Snap Change, it’s a technique with a wide range of applications.
No matter the age, people will be riveted by a card that changes in an instant.
