[Handle with care] Collection of magic tricks using a lighter
First of all, since this article introduces magic tricks that use a lighter, I want to strongly emphasize the need for great care in handling it.
Because fire is involved, there is a risk of burns and other dangers, so children must never try this.
Some tricks are simple and easy to attempt, but even adults could cause a serious accident with a small mistake.
Please make sure to carefully check your surroundings before giving it a try.

[Handle with Care] Collection of Lighter Tricks (1–10)
Magic of fire that goes out and lights again
It’s a Zippo lighter trick, but it looks a bit nerve‑racking, like you might get burned.
The explanation is very easy to understand, and many people in the comments say they pulled it off easily, so if you have a Zippo, definitely give it a try!
Mental writer
If you memorize the design on a lighter that has the same pattern printed on both sides and give it a shake, one of the designs vanishes.
Just as you’re thinking, “Wait, how did it disappear?” the lighter itself disappears next.
Even if you’re told to remember just one design, it feels like you’ll be easily tricked; and when you try to remember a different one, the most noticeable spot ends up disappearing anyway, so anyone would be astonished.
The letters on the lighter are disappearing.
Huh? What’s going on!? You can’t help but do a double or even triple take.
Just by shaking or lightly squeezing a lighter with text printed on its side, the letters magically disappear.
It’d look really cool to casually and smoothly show off this trick.
[Handle with Care] Magic Tricks Using a Lighter (11–20)
A magic trick where magic penetrates a lighter
This is a magic trick where you slowly press a pen against a lighter in your hand, and without any sign of cracking, the pen appears to pass through the lighter.
You prepare a lighter with a hole gimmick and another lighter of the same type, and you switch them at the moment you insert or remove the pen.
It’s important to clearly show the lighter without a hole from both the front and back, and to create the sense of wonder that the hole has disappeared.
Since the pen is actually going through the original hole, moving the lighter while it’s in the penetrated state enhances the mystery even more—highly recommended.
Magic that makes a lighter bigger
Just when you think an ordinary lighter has appeared, it transforms into a lighter more than twice the size when you wave your hand over it.
The impact is quite strong, and it’s so big that you can’t help but chuckle when you see it.
It’s a unique magic trick that’s sure to get laughs.
A dazzling ignition with a lighter
It’s a brilliant ignition technique that involves pre-applying oil to create a path for the flame to travel like a fuse, and setting up both long-burning and quickly extinguishing flames in advance.
It’s more of an illusion or performance than magic, but if you’re shown it suddenly, it feels like magic, doesn’t it? It’s very mysterious and beautiful.
Fire Pinch Magic
It’s a magic trick where you pinch and move the flame with the hand opposite the one lighting the lighter.
There’s actually a hidden lighter in the hand that’s pinching the flame, and you transfer the flame using gas from the two lighters.
The way you hold the lighter in the pinching hand is crucial: place your fingers so you can control the gas while keeping the lighter hidden from the front with the angle of your arm and hand.
The way you move each finger is also important—keep movements as small as possible so people don’t notice you controlling the gas.
