Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

I’ve gathered a bunch of kid-pleasing magic tricks that are perfect for a quick performance! Children in kindergartens, daycare centers, and elementary schools all love magic.

Some kids watch intently, some want to know the secret, and others are so amazed they ask you to do it again—there are all kinds of reactions.

In this article, assuming the goal is to delight children, I’ll introduce a variety of tricks—from ones that are truly simple and over in a flash to those that require a bit of setup.

Master them and be sure to perform them in front of the kids!

Teleporting rubber band

Can you figure out how it works? Teleportation magic 🪄 Our at-home play book is on sale now 📚 “At-Home Play from Age 3.” #stayhome #athomeplay #homeplay #playideas #easyactivities

Teleporting rubber band

A magic trick so easy that even kids can do it! Believe it or not, the rubber band seems to teleport! The secret is that there’s an invisible thread attached to the rubber band, and you just hold the band while the thread is stretched.

Naturally, when you let go, the thread tries to return to its original state, making it look like the rubber band moves on its own.

It’s a very simple gimmick and doesn’t require any practice.

Adults will probably figure it out right away, but to kids it’ll look truly mysterious.

It’s also fun to reveal the trick and have everyone try it together!
