[For Middle Grades] Easy Magic Tricks for Elementary School Students: Fun Magic Everyone Will Love! (1–10)
The coin placed in the hat disappears.
A great trick for people who usually wear caps is a magic trick where a coin placed in a hat disappears.
All you need for this trick is a 500-yen coin and a cap.
First, turn the cap upside down and put the 500-yen coin inside.
Then turn the cap over again and make it look like you’ve transferred the coin into your palm.
In reality, you hide the coin in the space along the cap’s brim and don’t move it to your hand.
Finally, when you show your palm, it looks as if the 500-yen coin has vanished.
Coin passes through a bottle! Penetration magic
Place a coin on top of a jar with a lid, put your palm over it, and… the coin that should have been in your hand passes through and ends up inside the jar? It’s a penetration magic trick.
The method is simple: a coin is lightly stuck to the underside of the jar’s lid with cellophane tape.
The coin that appears to be in your hand is actually held in the other hand.
When you tap the jar, the impact knocks the coin off the tape and it drops inside.
All four aces appear! Card magic
You deal a few cards off the top of a shuffled deck, asking the spectator to say “stop.” Then you distribute the dealt cards one by one into four piles.
After casting a little spell on each pile, an Ace appears on top of all four piles.
It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser that makes people exclaim, “But you were just dealing normally—how!?” The secret is to arrange the four Aces on top of the deck beforehand.
The key is the initial shuffle: it uses a type of false shuffle, a technique that appears to mix the cards while leaving the top portion undisturbed.
With a bit of practice, it becomes easy, so give it a try! Tricks like this make your card magic look much more professional.
Rubber Band Penetration Magic
It’s a magic trick where two rubber bands that are interlocked in a cross seem to slip apart smoothly when you blow on them.
The secret is simply switching the way your fingers are linked just a little.
By changing your finger positions, the bands slip free—but if you can’t make that switch smoothly, the trick will be exposed.
It’s easy to do with just two rubber bands.
Practice is key to making it look natural!
The numbers disappear! Smartphone magic
Smartphone calculator apps are handy, aren’t they? Here’s a simple magic trick using a calculator app: by just waving your hand over the screen, the numbers disappear one by one.
The secret is actually a little-known feature available only in the iPhone’s calculator.
If you slide across the area where the numbers are entered, they delete one digit at a time.
To perform the trick, make it look like you’re hovering your hand over the screen while secretly sliding a part of your palm across the number display.
The key is to move your hand in a slightly mysterious way so it looks like you’re casting a spell.
