[2026] Liven Up the Party! Recommended Magic Tricks (21–30)
Eraser Magic

You don’t need any special props—this magic trick uses ordinary stationery you’d find in a pencil case, like a pen and an eraser.
It’s a flashy routine where the pen or eraser vanishes and reappears, but the secret lies entirely in how you hold them.
By using joint angles and your line of sight, you can palm the pen or eraser out of view.
You might rub the pen to make the eraser disappear, or have an eraser wrapped in your palm vanish and then “teleport” to emerge from beneath your pocket.
Use smooth, swift handling to captivate your audience.
As long as you have an eraser and a pen, you can try it anytime—highly recommended!
The world’s fastest card magic

It’s a magic trick where you have someone choose one card from a face-down deck, return it to the stack, and then you name the card without ever looking at it.
The method is simple, but it happens so quickly that you’ll probably go, “Huh?” Once you know the secret, it’s incredibly easy.
A card trick where the spectator’s card teleports

It’s a magic trick where you set aside the aces from each suit first, and then use those four aces to find the card the spectator chose.
The amazing part is that, before anyone realizes it, the chosen card ends up in the magician’s hand.
It’s a trick that’s sure to astonish.
The Vanishing Ring

A magic trick that astonishes everyone: the ring on your finger vanishes in an instant.
With a bit of presentation, you can make it look really cool, so it’s a great one to show off at a mixer or party! The key is to make it look like you’re putting the removed ring back on the same finger, while actually slipping it onto a different finger.
Do this while acting with your hands so the audience can’t see what’s happening.
It takes a bit of practice to get the knack, but run through it a few times to learn the flow.
Another great thing is that as long as you have a ring, you can perform it anywhere!
Magic trick where a large amount of money appears

It’s a magic trick where you keep producing bill after bill, fanning them out from one hand.
The method is simple—you just unfold pre-folded bills one by one—but depending on how you fold and display the bills, it can look very impressive.
Of course, it does assume you have ten 10,000-yen bills to start with.
Authentic spoon bending you can do right away

It’s the spoon-bending magic trick you often see.
You might think the spoon is a special prop, but it’s actually an ordinary spoon—apparently the ones from 100-yen shops are soft and easy to bend.
What you need is the lever principle: fulcrum, effort, and load.
The rest is all about smooth hand movements and the power of presentation.
Teleportation of a coin

It’s that classic coin trick where you open your hands to show one coin in each palm, then the next time you open them there are two coins in one hand.
You don’t need any special props.
It’s a “showmanship” technique, so it takes a bit of practice, but watching the video makes it look easy and makes you want to try it.
