The burned newspaper came back to life.

[Newspaper Magic] Must-see! The Flaming Newspaper Returns!
The burned newspaper came back to life.

Let me introduce a heart-pounding trick: the “Burned Newspaper Restores Itself” magic.

First, you unfold a sheet of newspaper and keep tearing it in half and stacking the pieces, making it smaller and smaller.

Once it’s reduced to palm size, you set the newspaper on fire.

Then, in an instant, the newspaper returns to its original size—an astonishing effect that seems like real magic.

This video doesn’t reveal the secret, but it’s likely that, in addition to the newspaper intended to be torn, another sheet was prepared.

That extra sheet was probably folded in a way that allows it to open immediately, then placed inside the torn newspaper, and at the moment the fire is lit, it’s opened to create the restoration.

Using fire heightens the sense of the extraordinary.

Give it a try!

If you’re looking for a magic trick that’s easy for beginners to try, we recommend this “Stiff Newspaper” trick.

Newspapers are thin and flimsy, but with a little ingenuity and just a single crease, they can become stiff and hold their shape without moving.

The way the newspaper seems to transform into something completely different will surely amaze your audience.

Another nice point is that all you need is a single sheet of newspaper—nothing else.

If you add too many creases, it won’t stiffen up properly, so make one clean crease with minimal movement.

It’s simple to do, so give it a try!

If a newspaper turned into tissue in an instant

Impromptu Magic No. 56: Eco-Magic Tissues — What if a newspaper instantly turned into tissues?!
If a newspaper turned into tissue in an instant

A newspaper transforms into tissues in an instant! Here’s an eco-friendly magic trick that might let you reuse newspapers.

First, prepare a newspaper and a paper bag, and put the newspaper into the bag.

Then, a box of tissues comes out of the bag—that’s the trick.

It’d be super handy if newspapers could really turn into tissues, right? The reveal is just my guess since it’s not shown in the video, but you can make a hidden pocket inside the paper bag and pre-load a flattened tissue box in it.

Then you tuck the newspaper into the hidden pocket and, while drawing attention to keep the conversation flowing, quickly assemble the tissue box inside the bag as you pull it out.

The key is to assemble it swiftly while keeping the audience engaged.

Roll up a sheet of newspaper, and—like magic!—a beautiful flower appears from inside.

It’s a flashy yet simple trick.

The method is easy, so it’s great to imitate.

First, take a newspaper cut to one-quarter size and wrap it around the flower.

Next, place the flower wrapped in newspaper on the table, and lay another full sheet of newspaper over it.

Now you’re all set! From there, hold the wrapped flower on the inside and roll everything up so it stays hidden behind the larger newspaper.

This makes it easy for beginners to try.

Give it a go!

The initial “failure” is part of the charm, too!

The newspaper I thought I tore up has come back to life!

A newspaper is torn to shreds right before your eyes.

You squeeze the small pieces tightly together in your hands, and when you unfold them… the newspaper has returned to a single sheet! It’s a simple trick, but the secret really piques your curiosity.

Once you learn how it works, you’ll be surprised: “Was it really that easy?” Prepare two newspapers of the same size and stick them together in the middle with double-sided tape.

Crumple one into a ball and hide it behind the other sheet.

Tear the open newspaper from the edge into pieces, then wrap and crumple the torn parts together, and finally unfold the crumpled sheet that was hidden behind to reveal the intact newspaper.

Even when you watch closely, you can’t tell how it’s done, can you?

Newspaper magic where milk disappears

[Revealed] Milk Disappears! 3 Easy, Crowd-Pleasing Magic Tricks!
Newspaper magic where milk disappears

We’ll introduce a magic trick full of surprises: when you pour milk into a rolled-up newspaper, the milk you poured seems to vanish.

The secret isn’t in the newspaper, but in the cup holding the milk.

First, prepare two clear cups of the same size: one with a lid and one without.

Cut a hole near the top of the lidless cup.

Pour about 2 cm of milk into the lidded cup, then nest the lidless cup inside it and finally put the lid on.

When you tilt the stacked cups, the milk flows through the hole, making it look like the liquid level is dropping.

If you use colored water instead of milk, the show will look even more dazzling.
