Communication Magic Through Business Card Exchange

Communication Magic: The Magic Business Card 2
Communication Magic Through Business Card Exchange

When you receive a business card, say, “Looks like we have a connection!” and perform a trick where you produce a five-yen coin from the card.

Hold the prepared five-yen coin concealed behind the card, and as you give the card a light shake, make the coin appear.

Move the card naturally and show both sides to emphasize that there’s no trick involved.

Since you’ll be holding the coin along the back side, cover it with your fingers and shift it toward the edge when showing the back to keep it hidden.

It’s a magic trick you can use in many situations as long as you have a card and a coin.

Paper Cup Floating Magic

Simple but pretty surprising magic! With explanation of the secret! Learn simple magic tricks easily with household items.
Paper Cup Floating Magic

Here’s a magic trick you can do right away with disposable chopsticks, paper cups, and a die.

It’s best if the chopstick sleeve is on the larger side.

First, put a die inside each of two paper cups to make them heavier.

Place the cups side by side and hand over the chopstick sleeve.

When you lift between the two cups using a single chopstick, the cups mysteriously rise.

The secret is simple: attach a staple to the back of the chopstick sleeve with double-sided tape, and just thread the chopstick through that spot.

When you rub the rubber band, it disappears in an instant.

Seven never-before-seen rubber band magic tricks revealed!!
When you rub the rubber band, it disappears in an instant.

This is a magic trick where you pull on a rubber band with both hands and knead it in the middle, and then the rubber band seems to vanish from between your hands.

The method is simple: you wear a rubber band of the same color on one arm and just return the band to that spot.

Hook a finger onto the band on your wrist and make it look like you’re pinching the band between both hands.

Then release the hooked finger and slowly guide the band back to the bundle on your wrist.

If the position of the wrist bands shifts, it looks unnatural, so try to pull from a spot as close to the bundle as possible.

It’s also important to transition smoothly from the stretching action to the vanishing action so the audience doesn’t focus on the fine details.

Pen manipulation

This pen manipulation is a magic trick you can practice right away as long as you have a pen.

Simply put, it’s a trick where you make a pen vanish and appear using finger techniques! What you do is simple: lightly hold the pen with your thumb, middle finger, and ring finger, then curl your middle and ring fingers.

From the front, the pen hides behind your hand and becomes invisible! However, to make it look like it vanished naturally, you need to perform the motion smoothly and quickly, so it’s best to practice repeatedly while watching yourself in a mirror.

Magic where sweets come out of a paper cup

[Magic Revealed] A huge hit at banquets and parties! Easy!
Magic where sweets come out of a paper cup

This is a magic trick where you signal to a paper cup that seemed empty—even when turned upside down—and when you turn it over again, candy appears.

In fact, the paper cup has a slit, and when you first turn it over, you press on the slit to keep the candy from coming out.

Since the candy is inside from the start, when you first turn the cup over, present it as empty by tilting it at an angle that hides the contents.

Smooth hand movements that don’t reveal you’re operating the gimmick are also an important point.
