Appearance Magic
Let me show you a production magic trick that’s easy to adapt.
All you need is a paper bag with a slit at the bottom and the gift you want to give.
Tuck the gift at your waist and hide it under a jacket or other outerwear.
Then take out the paper bag folded flat and open it up.
Naturally, people will assume there’s nothing inside.
Next, slip the gift into the bag through the slit and then take it out—done.
It seems perfect for giving a birthday present, too.
Fork Bending Magic
Spoon bending is a classic in magic.
Let me introduce a developed version of it: fork bending.
Before tackling this trick, there’s something you should know—the power of the axis of rotation.
Skipping the finer principles, if you apply force around the narrowed part of the fork and twist the tip, it will bend easily.
In other words, you’re bending it with physical force.
Therefore, the key to this trick is how convincingly you can make it look like you’re not using any strength when you bend it.
Practice, including your facial expressions.
Magic where a pen disappears
Magic tricks with a pen are surprisingly easy.
The disappearing pen trick, in particular, can be learned in just a few seconds.
Perfect for a last-minute performance! Just pick up a pen and add a small movement, and it vanishes in no time.
It’s such a simple technique that you can show it off to classmates or coworkers right away.
Great for year-end and New Year parties, farewell parties, weddings—you name it.
Be sure to master it and enjoy the looks of amazement.
Now, it’s your turn to become a magician!
Rubber band magic
How about this magic trick for your next party? All you need are two everyday rubber bands—no special prep required.
You simply hook them around your index finger and thumb, and they appear tangled and impossible to separate.
But with a small trick, they come apart in an instant.
Everyone will be captivated by the mystery unfolding right before their eyes! It’s great because you can perform it anywhere, even on a small table or in a cozy space.
It’s a perfect icebreaker and a fun way to warm up the atmosphere.
Give it a try at your next get-together!
Magic that turns juice into water
It’s a magic trick where you place a handkerchief over a glass containing a colored drink, give a signal, and in an instant it appears to turn into clear water.
In reality, what looked like the color of the liquid was just a colored inner glass nested inside, and by palming it along with the handkerchief, you make it seem as though the color vanished and the drink turned into water.
Since the colored insert is placed in the water, be careful when removing it so the handkerchief doesn’t get damp and water doesn’t splash.
If the color looks odd, people will realize it isn’t a real drink, so it’s best to make it in a color that looks as natural as possible.
iPhone Calculator Magic
I’ll introduce a calculator magic trick you can do with an iPhone or smartphone.
First, enter “12345678” so the audience can see it.
Then, when you shake the device, the sequence appears to change to “87654321.” It seems mysterious, but the method is surprisingly simple.
In fact, you’ve already entered “68888889 + 0” at the start.
Then, as you shake your hand, you press the equals button, which displays the result and makes it look like the order has changed.
