Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Do rubber bands connect!?

[Revealed] Astonishing Magic Where Rubber Bands Link Together [Famous on TV] Rubber Band Tricks

Do rubber bands connect!?

The rubber band linking trick is easy to understand and gets great reactions, so I recommend it.

The key is to set it up before performing.

First, prepare two rubber bands, a push pin, and pliers.

Use the pliers to cut part of the push pin down to a size that can’t be seen from a distance.

Then, during the performance, place the part of one rubber band that has the push pin on top of the other rubber band, and it will look like they’ve penetrated each other.

When you restore them, quickly hide the pin in your pocket, and even if someone examines the bands afterward, they won’t notice.

Magic you can do with items from a 100-yen shop

"So that's how it was, lol" Three easy magic tricks you can do with 100-yen shop items that are fun even after the secret is revealed [explanation included]

Magic you can do with items from a 100-yen shop

These are magic tricks that focus on convenience, using familiar items you can pick up at a 100-yen shop.

For example, the angle of a lollipop on a stick appears to change, or when you press an inflated balloon against a smartphone and let the air out, the phone ends up inside the balloon.

The simplicity actually makes them look even more mysterious, doesn’t it? They say they’re not changing the angle of their hand, yet they’re really using that angle; or they’re just using the size of the balloon to make things stick—since the methods are simple, even if you get found out, you can probably turn it into a laugh.

As a setup for a bigger trick, it might even be fun to deliberately reveal the secrets as you go.
