One of the basic techniques in magic is the palm.

Palming means secretly concealing an object in your hand.

As ideal practice for this, let me introduce a trick where a coin vanishes from your fingertips.

You use a single 10-yen coin, holding it as if pinched between the thumb and index finger of your right hand.

Then, with a brief wave of your left hand, the coin disappears.

All you’re doing is hiding the coin in a position outside the audience’s line of sight, but when you try it, you may find it surprisingly difficult.

Still, it’s a versatile technique, so it’s certainly worth mastering.

Toothpick Vanishing Magic79rank/position

Simple magic trick with reveal: Make a toothpick disappear!

Here’s a simple magic trick you can do with just a toothpick and a rubber band.

The toothpick disappears in an instant.

It’s perfect for killing time while you’re waiting for your food at a restaurant, so give it a try.

First, wrap the rubber band around the toothpick and pull it tight so it won’t come off.

With the rubber band still on your hand, hold the toothpick between your thumb and index finger.

When you release your thumb, the band snaps back and the toothpick vanishes instantly.

Long sleeves are recommended to keep the band out of sight.

You can do calculations with playing cards!? Simple playing-card magic80rank/position

[761] [Do It Right Away] You can do calculations with playing cards!? A super fun and easy magic trick [Revealed]

In this magic trick, you do a calculation using two selected playing cards.

For example, let’s say the selected cards are a 6 and a 2.

Add 6 and 2 to get 8… then when you turn over the 8th card from the top of the deck, an 8 will appear.

This is a self-working trick, meaning it requires no sleight of hand.

By placing the 4, 8, Q, and 3 at predetermined positions in the deck beforehand, doing the math will make the correct card appear from the deck.

At the beginning, you show three cards, but in fact all three are 6s—and the next three cards are all 2s!

Brain Dive81rank/position

[3 min] A brain dive on you watching this magic [no cuts] — Dive to your brain!! Magic

This is a magic trick where you riffle through a deck of cards, have the spectator remember just one card from the spread, and then reveal the card they chose.

The way you riffle the deck is crucial: as you quickly riffle, you deliberately give extra viewing time to just one card.

Since controlling the speed purely with the riffling motion is difficult, lightly putting a bend in the card is also recommended.

The key is to riffle the rest of the deck quickly so the spectator can’t remember any other cards.

Because the card they end up choosing is predetermined, combining this with a prediction can really heighten the impact.

Potato Chips Switcheroo Magic82rank/position

Behind the Scenes: This kind of magic trick is the biggest hit with kids [Easy Magic]

This is a magic trick where you hold a potato chips tube behind a paper bag to signal a change, and it swaps with a different flavor tube that was supposedly inside the bag.

You use two types of tubes, and you prepare a gimmick in advance on one of them, so be mindful of how you present it to avoid giving anything away.

The preparation involves attaching the outer label of a different flavor to half of the tube, so it’s important to remove and handle it in a way that doesn’t reveal the back half, along with a smooth wrist turn.

To prevent the gimmick from being discovered, it’s also a good idea to clean up quickly after performing the trick.

Lemon IN Card83rank/position

[Revealed] A shocking magic trick where a card moves into a lemon!? [Guaranteed to be a hit] Magic tutorial

One classic magic trick is making a playing card appear inside a lemon.

You’ll need to prepare this in advance.

First, get a lemon and a deck of cards, and remove the stem end of the lemon.

Then push a rolled-up playing card into the lemon through the opening.

During the performance, have a spectator draw a card from the deck, and present it as if the same card appears from inside the lemon.

If you tear or burn the selected card beforehand, it can make the effect even more impactful.

Guessing the numbers after tearing up the paper they were written on84rank/position

A magic trick that can do almost the same things as a psychic [explanation of the secret]

Magic with a touch of psychic flair is fun, isn’t it? Here’s one I recommend: a trick where you tear up a paper with a number written on it and still guess the number.

First, have someone write a three-digit number on a sheet of paper folded into quarters.

Next, fold the paper again, tear it into small pieces, and then reveal the correct number.

The secret is that before tearing, you briefly bring the paper under the table, reverse the fold, bring it back up, and tear it while secretly seeing the number.

If you pay attention to natural movements and eye direction, your audience will think, “How did they know when it was torn to bits?”
