[2026] Liven Up the Party! Recommended Magic Tricks Summary (61–70)
Revealing Arashi’s Nino (Ninomiya-kun)’s magic
This is a magic trick that Kazunari Ninomiya from Arashi supposedly performed on TV, and it’s a truly flashy one.
First, after having someone choose a card, the deck is thoroughly shuffled.
Then five possible candidates that might be the chosen card are drawn.
The magician then identifies the selected card, but the trick has a two-phase structure that ensures the correct answer, and even the card’s back design—which should never change—ends up changing, making it a very surprising trick.
A card trick where all the reds and blacks align in just one second
You have the spectator choose and remember two cards, then divide the deck into four piles and mix them.
After recombining into two piles and looking through each, astonishingly, one pile consists entirely of red cards and the other entirely of black cards—and what’s more, one of the chosen cards is found in the red pile and the other in the black pile.
Magic that changes clothes in an instant
It’s a magic trick where the T-shirt you’re wearing under a jacket changes its design when you spin all the way around and turn back.
You’ll need to cut up one T-shirt to wear, so why not try it using an old T-shirt you were thinking of throwing away?
In conclusion
As mentioned at the beginning, all the tricks introduced here require no special props—indeed, the disappearing finger trick doesn’t need any equipment at all.
These kinds of magic tricks can be practiced in secret, so you can master them without your friends or coworkers noticing.
Be sure to show them off at just the right moment and become the life of the party!
