Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

A magic trick where a ball passes through a cup that even elementary school kids can do, and its secret revealed

The ball passes through the cup.

This is a fascinating magic trick where a ball appears to pass through a cup.

You will need three opaque cups, four small balls, and a wand or similar prop.

Before the trick, stack the three cups, placing a ball inside the middle cup.

First, line up three balls on the table, and set the three cups behind them.

Then place a ball on top of the middle cup and stack the left and right cups over it from above.

When you tap the cups with the wand and lift them, it looks as if the ball has penetrated through and come out.

In reality, it’s just the ball you placed inside beforehand coming out.

You repeat this process.

Simple, right?
