Magic where a mask floats in midair
In recent years, we’ve had more opportunities to wear and carry masks, right? So I’d like to introduce a magic trick that uses a mask.
All you need for this trick is one mask, a thin, nearly transparent thread, and some clear tape.
First, for the setup, tape one end of the thread to a wall and the other end near your face.
This will stretch the thread from the wall to your face.
Next, slightly bend the mask and hook it onto the thread.
It will look as if the mask is floating.
If you don’t have a mask, you can substitute something like a banknote.
Authentic spoon bending you can do right away
Spoon-bending magic makes you blurt out “Wow!” without thinking, doesn’t it? The method is really simple.
You just apply force using the principle of leverage.
I recommend looking for a soft spoon at a 100-yen shop.
Once you get the hang of it, a few small tricks will make it bend naturally.
If you show it off at a party or a get-together, you’re sure to grab everyone’s attention! Doing it casually with an everyday spoon might even get you a “That’s amazing!” Give it a try and practice.
A magic trick that turns a 1,000-yen bill into a 10,000-yen bill
When it comes to money magic, this is the easiest crowd-pleaser.
Stack a folded 10,000-yen bill and a 1,000-yen bill, then make a smooth switch—your audience will be amazed.
It’s a simple setup with a big impact.
In a relaxed setting with friends, it’s guaranteed to spark conversation.
Once you get the hang of it, the prep is easy.
Perform it at a party or as a quick act, and you’ll energize the room instantly.
With practice, you might even look like a pro magician.
It’s effortless yet highly effective—be sure to master this trick!
A coin passes through the hand
The coin passes through the hand! It happens in an instant, so it’s hard to process what you’re seeing.
This uses a fundamental magic technique called a “palm,” where you secretly hold something in your hand.
I say fundamental, but if you master it, you can perform a series of penetrations like in the video.
In other words, it’s basic and essential.
Practice is everything: at first, use videos as a reference, and once you get used to it, try it without looking at your hands.
Aim for natural hand movements that make the audience think, “It went through!”
A coin disappears from the handkerchief
It’s a magic trick where a coin wrapped in a handkerchief disappears when you open the handkerchief.
The method is simple: attach double-sided tape to the edge of the handkerchief, fold it so the coin sticks to the tape, and then discreetly retrieve it as you open the handkerchief.
It’s simple, but when someone performs it on you, you really can’t tell how it’s done.
Levitation Step
This step has a mysterious look, as if you’re gliding through the air.
It’s a technique called the “slick back,” where you move sideways by alternating your feet, and the way each foot moves is key.
The foot in the direction you’re traveling pushes outward as if pressing the heel into the ground, and the other foot moves in the same direction as well.
Both feet move the same way, but the difference in how far they travel creates the floating illusion.
To keep people from figuring out what’s happening, it’s best to finish the step quickly and leave the audience with a sense of wonder.
Never-ending tissues
This is a magic trick where you put a spell on a hand holding a single crumpled tissue, and it turns into two.
The secret is to have another tissue hidden in the hand opposite the one that’s gripping; when you pretend to take the tissue, you also secretly make them grip the hidden one.
The important move is to hold one of the two tissues and “put” the other into your pocket—by only pretending to pocket it and actually keeping it in your hand, you can repeatedly show the tissue multiplying.
Be mindful of your hand angles so the audience doesn’t realize the tissue has increased at the moment you close your hand.
A recommended variation is to apply this principle and make the tissue in your hand vanish at the end.
Guessing cards with a fidget spinner
Card guessing with a fidget spinner—now that’s a surprising combo, right? But it’s actually pretty brilliant.
Something that’s usually just a toy instantly turns into a solid magic prop with a simple trick.
Just clamp a card and give it a spin, and it will pinpoint the chosen card perfectly.
And you don’t need any difficult techniques.
You can practice in spare moments and master it quickly.
Show it casually at a get-together with friends or an office party, and you’re guaranteed to wow everyone.
Use fidget spinner magic to liven up the atmosphere in no time!
Magic that changes clothes in an instant
Flashy costume-change magic makes you want to try it at least once, doesn’t it? The truth is, as long as you prepare properly, it’s not that hard.
If you use an old shirt, it won’t cost anything, either.
Just imagining the surprised look on people’s faces is exciting.
Watching clothes change in an instant is like real magic.
Show it off at a party or a reunion, and it’s sure to be a hot topic.
Once you get used to it, you’ll be able to do it smoothly.
Give it a try!
