Hilarious Magic! Crowd-Pleasing Tricks Perfect for Parties and Performances (41–50)
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.
Chopsticks that get more marks
This is a magic trick using chopsticks with a single mark on one side and on the other.
The number of marks appears to increase in an instant.
In reality, there’s only one mark on the front, while the back has many.
At first, when you ask someone to check, you twist the chopsticks and flip them over, making it look as if there’s only one mark on each side.
It’s a simple principle, but if you don’t know it, you’ll be fooled.
Seems like a great trick for a drinking party.
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.
Smartphone Magic
Everyone carries a smartphone.
Let me show you a magic trick that uses it.
First, prepare a 10,000-yen bill folded up and take a photo of it from a distance.
Next, set a real 10,000-yen bill behind your smartphone.
That’s all the setup.
After that, zoom in on the photo and move it left and right as you show it.
Then, at just the right moment, slide to the next screen while simultaneously producing the real 10,000-yen bill.
Make sure the next image you slide to is one where the 10,000-yen bill has vanished.
Jack Byrne
The Jack of Diamonds is selected from a deck of cards.
After returning the Jack to the deck, you write “Jack of Diamonds” on a piece of paper and burn it.
The paper goes up in flames in an instant, as if it exploded.
Then, when you look through the deck again, you find one card with a scorched back.
Turning it over, the Jack of Diamonds appears with artwork that looks like it was caught in an explosion.
It’s a magic trick with an ending like a comedy sketch that finishes with a bang.
