This is a very simple magic trick you can do with a rubber band, yet it’s surprisingly hard to see through.
All you need is a single rubber band, and the best part is you can practice and play with it on your own—it’s a low-key but fun way to pass the time during little breaks, like between boring classes.

Rubber band and a 5-yen coin
This is a simple game you can play with a rubber band and a five-yen coin.
Cut the rubber band to make it a single strand, then thread it through the hole of the five-yen coin.
After that, you just sway it, spin it, and pull—something like that.
Before long, you’ll get the hang of it and the coin will start to spin.
Once you start doing this, you might surprisingly find yourself doing it for a long time.
You might even enter a kind of trance!
