Eraser Cover: Appearance Magic
This is a magic trick where you hold an eraser with its case removed, blow on it, and the case you supposedly removed appears.
All you need is one eraser and two cases.
Cut one of the cases so that only two sides remain, and attach it to the eraser.
Then put the other case over it, and you’re ready.
In front of your spectator, remove the outer case and show the side without a case.
Then, as you grip the eraser and blow on it, rotate the eraser so the side with the case faces the spectator.
The key is to present it in a way that doesn’t reveal the gimmick attached to the eraser.
Since the viewing angle and smoothness of your movements are crucial, perform it for many people and keep practicing.
Your chosen card appears on top! Card magic
You’ve probably seen this on TV: a magic trick where a card that should be in the middle of the deck magically rises to the top when a spell is cast.
This kind of trick is called the “Ambitious Card.” There are many ways to perform an Ambitious Card routine, but this version is relatively easy.
Here’s how it works: Split the deck into two piles and place the selected card on top of one pile, briefly turning it face up to show it.
When you return it face down, place the bottom card of the other pile on top of the selected card.
That way, the top card is a dummy and the second card is the selection.
If you then insert the top card somewhere into the middle of the deck, the selected card will appear on top.
It may sound complicated in text, so be sure to watch the video to see the method in action.
In the Ambitious Card, the selected card gets secretly switched without you noticing.
Once you’re comfortable with this, try tackling other Ambitious Card techniques too.
The rubber bands switch colors.
This is a magic trick where you stretch two differently colored rubber bands to create a pattern, then compress them and blow on them, and the colors appear to instantly reverse.
You start by twisting one wrist and stretching a rubber band into an X shape, then hook a rubber band of a different color around it to frame the X.
After that, when you return the twisted wrist to match the orientation of the other hand, the colors in the pattern switch places.
Since it’s obvious that the wrist orientation changes, be sure to direct the audience’s gaze firmly onto the rubber bands so they don’t notice, and focus on keeping all the movements smooth.
Rubber Band Revival Magic
In front of everyone, you cut a rubber band with scissors, and it becomes a single strand.
Then, after pulling and snapping that strand a few times… the rubber band has been restored—it’s a loop again! The secret is that you hide a rubber band rolled into a loop in one hand, and when you pull and release the cut band, you secretly hide it in the other hand.
Because rubber bands can be rolled up small, you can naturally conceal them between your fingers!
In conclusion
We introduced magic tricks for upper elementary school students.
When you see the secret revealed, you might be surprised and think, “Huh? Was the mechanism really that simple?” The magician’s skill is what makes it look amazing and cool! Show your tricks with confidence and wow everyone!
