Simple magic tricks you can do with everyday items (11–20)
Magic that makes the mark on disposable chopsticks disappear
Chopsticks with patterns drawn on them in pen—when you cast a little spell, the patterns disappear in an instant.
Then, mysteriously, the patterns come back.
The secret is that the pattern is actually drawn on only one side of the chopsticks.
Even when showing the “back,” you’re just twisting your wrist to show the same side.
Once you hear the secret it makes sense, but without it you’d never know.
Simple, but an amazing trick!
Color-changing! Straw Magic
A visually striking magic trick where rubbing a straw with your hand seems to change the color of the lines printed on it! If you’re sharp, you might already know the secret.
In fact, McDonald’s straws have one red line and one yellow line.
At the moment you rub the straw, rotate it 180 degrees with the hand holding it.
That way, it looks like the line instantly changes from red to yellow or yellow to red! All you need is a single straw, so it’s easy to perform on the spot.
Pen Vanish Magic
https://www.tiktok.com/@joejoemagic/video/7197341542544182529The pen vanishing magic trick, which has a big visual impact, is also a must-see.
The method is very simple: hold a pen in your right hand, briefly wave your left hand over it, and the pen disappears.
Even if someone checks your hands afterward, they won’t find the pen.
The key to this trick is to wear long sleeves.
Extend an elastic string from inside your sleeve and tie it to the pen.
Then, when you let go, the pen is pulled up and vanishes.
Using the same idea, you could probably make a pen case or an eraser disappear too.
Magic that changes the color of water in an instant
It’s a magic trick where ordinary water suddenly turns colorful when you shake a plastic bottle.
The setup is incredibly simple: just put a small amount of your chosen paint color on the inside of the bottle cap that contains water.
When you shake the bottle, the water hits the paint, dissolving it and turning the water colorful.
Try it with lots of bottles and lots of different colors!
Chopsticks that spin on their own
When you hold your hand over a pair of chopsticks crossed like a plus sign, the chopsticks you supposedly aren’t touching start to move! It looks like magic, as if you’re using psychic powers.
At first glance it seems very difficult, but there’s a simple trick you can do with nothing more than the chopsticks themselves—no clear thread or other props needed.
All you use is your own breath.
In fact, you’re moving the chopsticks by gently blowing on them.
When placing the chopsticks, set them so both ends are slightly raised to make them easier to move, and when you blow, do it slowly.
Master these little tips, and starting tomorrow, you’ll be a psychic!
The magical straw that makes water rise
Wouldn’t it be strange if a straw stuck in a cup started drawing up water all by itself? With that, let me introduce a magic trick: the magical straw that makes water rise.
All you need for this trick is an ordinary cup filled with water and a straw cut slightly shorter than usual.
When you insert the straw, grip the tip firmly and then release it.
The straw will start drawing up the water on its own.
It works on the same principle as a pump.
It can also be fun to mime sucking the water up in midair as part of the performance.

Super Easy! Floating Magic
An ordinary disposable chopstick—if you let go, of course it will fall.
But by focusing your will, you can actually make the chopstick float! This magic works with a very simple trick that requires nothing but a chopstick.
Hold the chopstick in one hand, and with the other hand, grasp the wrist of the hand holding the chopstick—but here’s where the trick is hidden.
With the hand holding your wrist, you secretly support the chopstick with a finger.
That makes it look like the chopstick is floating!
