During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

It’s pretty cool to be able to casually perform a magic trick at a party or as entertainment, isn’t it?

That said, many people probably think, “Magic is a hassle because you have to prepare props in advance.”

But with money magic, you can perform using the coins or bills you’re already carrying, so it’s easy and convenient.

In this article, we’ll introduce plenty of magic tricks that use money.

Some of them do require solid technique, but there are also self-working tricks that you can do just by following the steps.

Muscle Pass Vanish

How about trying the Muscle Pass Vanish, a trick that’s been trending on magic shows and social media? The Muscle Pass Vanish uses a technique called the muscle pass—launching a coin from your palm—to make it disappear.

Think of it as pinching the coin between the base of your thumb and your palm.

It’s fairly difficult, but once you get used to it, you can aim and shoot the coin into your other hand or even your breast pocket.

The speed of the launch is also crucial, so practice repeatedly.

Once you master it, you’ll likely be able to apply it to other magic routines as well.
