[For Kids] Magic Tricks to Perform at Nurseries and Kindergartens (21–30)
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.
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.
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.
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!
Escape! Magic Card
This is a magic card that lets you free an animal trapped in a grid! Anyone can make it by following the steps, and the only material you need is construction paper, which is a big plus.
The mechanism is simple: the card opens from both sides.
You can free the animal just by opening the left side, so no special technique is required.
When you perform it, make sure the audience doesn’t realize you’re actually opening the opposite side.
After the trick, it’s also a great idea to let the kids play with it so they can experience that sense of wonder for themselves.
Pen magic that produces a coin
It’s a magic trick where, after signaling with a ballpoint pen to a hand that should be empty, a coin appears in the hand.
In fact, a coin is fitted into the pen’s clip from the beginning, and while keeping that part out of view, you move it into the hand.
Pay attention to how you hold the pen when showing that your hand is empty, and how you conceal the coin when moving the pen.
If the clip or coin catches inside your hand, people will suspect a gimmick, so it’s also crucial to judge the position where it can be removed smoothly.
