Hilarious Magic! Audience-Pleasing Tricks Perfect for Parties and Events (31–40)
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.
monkey bars
Three ropes hang down from a single stick.
A handkerchief is tied to the rope on the far right.
With the cue, “Now this handkerchief will instantly jump to another rope! Three, two, one!” it’s hidden behind the performer’s back for a moment, and when brought to the front again, the handkerchief has moved to the rope on the far left.
It’s a simple trick—just flipping the stick while it’s hidden—but an unexpected twist awaits afterward.
banknote watermark
It’s a magic trick that makes a banknote float.
I’m trying to perform it using playing cards, but an unexpected mishap occurs.
If you look closely at the cards, you can see the thread attached to the bill.
This little accident makes everyone chuckle.
Teleportation of the ring
The ring that was supposed to be on my index finger vanishes after I briefly cover it with the other hand.
But in the next moment, it’s back where it was.
The trick is simply swapping the ring-wearing index finger with the bare middle finger.
It’s so simple that you can’t help but laugh and say, “Oh, that’s all it was.”

Clear Nose!
The classic gag costume item, the “nose glasses,” hides a trick: if you pinch around the nostril area and give it a sharp tug, a lit match pops out.
Acting like you’re about to sneeze can make it even more surprising and funny.
It’s a magic trick with more impact than you’d expect.
stretchy tongue
It’s a simple idea: you wear a tongue-inspired prop and try to surprise people with the tongue’s unique appearance.
If someone looks closely, they’ll quickly realize it’s fake, so the impact at the moment they turn around is what really matters.
There are various types—tongues that start out long, or ones you can extend at will—so try using different kinds depending on the situation.
The extendable type often matches the real tongue’s color and texture fairly well, so if you can mask any difficulty speaking, you might be able to keep up the act for a while as someone with a very skillful tongue.
