Magic: Ideas for Tricks That Get Elementary School Kids Excited! Perfect for Fun Parties, Too (71–80)
Penetrating Magic with a Plastic Bottle Cap
It’s a magic trick where, by slamming the cap forcefully, it appears to pass through and end up inside the plastic bottle.
There are two methods: one where you crush a soft, thin cap and push it through the mouth, and another where you insert the cap through a slit and hide it under the label.
In both cases, you use a cap and conceal the hidden cap with a vigorous motion of striking the bottom, so the audience doesn’t catch on.
If you perform the two methods in sequence, you’ll surprise people even more, since the first method won’t seem possible the second time.
The middle finger moves toward the little finger.
It’s a mysterious magic trick where you seem to remove your middle finger and attach it to where your pinky is.
In reality, the finger that looks like it’s removed at the start isn’t the right hand’s middle finger—it’s the left hand’s middle finger.
At the same time, the right hand’s pinky is bent back toward the back of the hand and hidden at an angle where it can’t be seen.
If you watch it a few times, you’ll notice that unnatural part and figure out the secret, but on first viewing you won’t understand what’s happening and it feels astonishing! Practice in front of a mirror and show it off to your friends!
Eraser disappearance magic
This is a magic trick where, after signaling with a pencil to an eraser placed on your hand, the eraser seems to vanish from your hand in an instant.
The action of tapping and counting with the pencil is crucial; on the final signal, you quickly move the eraser.
Since you’re moving the eraser while being watched, be mindful of making the movement fast enough not to be noticed, as well as of your hand angle.
Rather than striking with just the pencil tip, it’s better to bump with your whole hand holding the pencil—this shortens the distance you need to move the eraser and is recommended.
Magic where legs disappear
It’s a magic trick where you cover your feet with a black cloth, give a signal, and when you lift the cloth, the feet that should be there have vanished.
The key point is the angle at which you show the gaps in the cloth, and the mechanism is simple: you’re just moving your feet to a position where they can’t be seen.
You place your weight on the leg pulled back, lift the other leg up, and keep your body position unchanged, so your ability to maintain posture is tested.
Let’s proceed while balancing mystery and ease: figure out how low you can lower your foot to make it look like it has disappeared.
The rubber bands switch colors.
This is a magic trick where you stretch two differently colored rubber bands to create a pattern, then compress them and blow on them, and the colors appear to instantly reverse.
You start by twisting one wrist and stretching a rubber band into an X shape, then hook a rubber band of a different color around it to frame the X.
After that, when you return the twisted wrist to match the orientation of the other hand, the colors in the pattern switch places.
Since it’s obvious that the wrist orientation changes, be sure to direct the audience’s gaze firmly onto the rubber bands so they don’t notice, and focus on keeping all the movements smooth.
Revealing the Secret of the Rubber Band Teleportation Magic Trick
This is a simple magic trick where a rubber band that was hooked around the index and middle fingers moves to the ring and little fingers.
The key is how you hook the rubber band in the part hidden by your palm: the band, pulled by the little finger and thumb, is firmly secured.
When you release the thumb, it jumps to the other side; then when you release the little finger, it moves again.
Because it’s done in two stages, it creates an even stronger sense of mystery.
The angle of your wrist so your audience doesn’t notice the complex hooking, and the way you move your fingers so they don’t realize anything is fixed, are also important points.
A magic trick where a 1-yen coin turns into a 10-yen coin
This is a coin magic trick where a single 1-yen coin transforms into two 10-yen coins.
The key seems to be how skillfully you can conceal two 10-yen coins behind the 1-yen coin.
Also, be careful not to make any clinking sounds when transferring the coins to the other hand.
Once you master these points, it’s a simple trick you can perform anywhere.
Give it a try!
