A magic trick where the contents of a plastic bottle are switched
The contents of the cola and water swap!? Here’s a magic trick using plastic bottles that will amaze kids! Put diluted throat gargle solution into an empty cola bottle and stick a chlorine tablet to its cap.
Paint black paint on the cap of the water bottle.
During the performance, shake both bottles vigorously—the color will change quickly and surprise everyone.
Since the color changes in an instant, tell the kids, “Watch closely!” Saying a magic chant together will make it even more exciting!
Surprise Bucket
Once you know the secret, it all makes sense! This magic trick is really fun.
It’s called the “Surprise Bucket,” and it looks like a ball passes straight through a bucket.
It seems like there are three balls, but in fact there are four.
By hiding the fourth ball between the buckets in advance, it appears as though the ball has slipped right through.
Kids can take part in this trick, so it’s perfect for birthday parties and other events.
Practice so you can really capture children’s attention.
The Mysterious Socks
When you put a tiny star into a sock and cast a spell, the sock suddenly grows larger.
And the star inside gets bigger too.
It’s the perfect magic trick for Christmas! In fact, a large sock folded up is attached to the back of the small sock shown at the start.
The large star is already inside that large sock as well.
When performing, you need to unfold the large sock in an instant.
Also, make sure to open it so that the small sock that’s attached faces toward you.
Keep the large sock folded tightly so it stays out of sight.
Magic Fingers Hand Play
Crafted by Aimyon herself while staying true to the world of the film Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window, this song unfolds as a love ballad that gently embraces the listener’s heart.
Its melody and lyrics, imbued with a unique atmosphere, evoke a sensation that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
Since its release, it has continued to receive high acclaim among music fans, reaching No.
9 on the weekly download chart and No.
4 on the weekly singles chart.
Through her music, listeners can relive the gentle worldview of Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window.
It’s a special track that is likely to linger in memory alongside the film.
Immerse yourself in Aimyon’s profound sensibility, woven through its soothing rhythms and melodies.
Drink juice with disposable chopsticks
It’s a magic trick where you appear to drink the juice in a cup through a pair of chopsticks.
Since chopsticks aren’t hollow, you normally couldn’t suck up juice with them.
But the juice keeps getting sucked up and the level goes down.
The secret is simple! There’s a straw attached to the back of the chopsticks.
Using a white or clear straw makes it harder to notice.
A thinner straw is also recommended.
It’s an easy trick that anyone can perform, so give it a try!
Mysterious Rope
If you roll up three ropes and put them into a tube, they mysteriously come out as one long, connected rope! This is a magic trick called the “Mysterious Rope.” In fact, there’s a divider inside the tube, and a pre-connected rope is hidden in advance.
You place the three separate ropes into the empty side of the tube, and then have an audience member pull on the rope at the end.
The secret is to guide them to pull the side with the already connected rope—it’s a trick that relies on how you present it to the audience.
Easy! Rubber Band Magic
If you master it, this rubber band magic trick is guaranteed to delight kids! By using the rubber band’s stretchy nature, it can look like the band snaps or teleports.
There’s a lot to learn—like the viewing angles and how to wrap the band—so you might not get it right on the first try.
But if you practice repeatedly and get the hang of it, a single rubber band becomes a special skill you can use to entertain people anywhere.
Keep at it and give it your best!
