Hilarious Magic! Crowd-Pleasing Tricks Perfect for Parties and Performances (21–30)
A magic trick where a torn rubber band returns to its original state
This is a magic trick that uses an optical illusion to make a torn rubber band appear to restore itself.
You can perform it right away as long as you have a rubber band.
First, hold the rubber band with your thumbs and middle fingers on the left and right.
Then insert your index fingers in between and move your thumbs and middle fingers outward.
It will look as if the rubber band has snapped.
In reality, it’s just being pulled upward, so when you let go, it returns to its original state.
It’s great because it’s easy to learn quickly.
If you let the audience clearly confirm that it looks torn, it will make the trick even more exciting.
Human body-sawing magic trick
A magician climbs into a three-tiered box that fully hides their body, and another magician moves one of the sections.
Even though the body parts appear to move inside each separate box, it looks as if the body has been split into three.
Then, using transparent boxes, they reveal how the trick actually works.
Timing, it seems, is a crucial technique in magic.

The rolled-up tissue disappears.
Prepare a small, balled-up tissue and hide it in either your right or left hand.
Then ask, “Which hand has the tissue?” At first glance, it looks like a simple little game, but after repeating it a few times, there’s a mischievous twist where you quickly toss the tissue away.
Others can see you’ve thrown it, so the sight of someone seriously trying to choose the right or left hand becomes surreal—and irresistibly funny.
Mummy’s Finger
A magician says he’ll show an Arabian secret treasure—the “Mummy’s Finger”—as a birthday treat.
He takes out a small wooden box and shows its contents to the audience members one by one.
For some reason, they all start to laugh.
Inside the box is the magician’s own finger.
It’s a joke trick where the bottom of the box is cut out and he sticks his finger through.
A magic trick where chopsticks end up in your nose
This is a magic trick that looks both comical and mysterious: a chopstick pressed against the nose is sucked into the nostril in an instant.
To emphasize that it really went into the nose, be mindful to mimic inhaling air and to show a surprised expression when it “gets sucked in.” Without moving the chopstick itself, you slide your hand along it while it’s held to the nose, and ultimately conceal the chopstick inside your hand.
It’s also crucial to decide how you’ll handle the chopstick hidden in your hand to convincingly show that it was sucked in and vanished.
A coin passing through a cup
One classic trick is making a coin pass through a cup.
As long as you have a coin and a cup, you can do it—handy to remember.
First, borrow a coin from a spectator.
Place it on your left palm and hold the cup in your other hand.
Tap the bottom of the cup against the coin, and on the third tap, make it seem like the cup passes through the coin.
In reality, on the third time you shift your hand slightly and, using the rebound from the tap, flick the coin up so it appears to float into the cup.
It’s a simple mechanism, so even revealing the method can be entertaining.
Surprise magic?
This is a prank disguised as a magic trick using a water-filled plastic bottle and a coin.
Place the bottle over the coin and cover it with a cloth to set it up.
Tell the target that when you chant a magic spell, the coin will move into the bottle.
After chanting, remove the cloth and claim it worked, then have them look into the bottle.
At that moment, squeeze the bottle hard to splash water onto the target.
To shoot the water more forcefully, it might be best to use a soft plastic bottle.
