A magic trick where a torn tissue comes back together
It’s an amazing magic trick where a tissue you supposedly tore apart comes back to life.
All you need is a tissue! You can even take this to school without getting in trouble with your teacher.
Here’s how: First, separate the two layers of the tissue.
Lightly roll one layer so that one end comes to a point, and actually tear off just the very tip.
Keep only that torn tip pinched between your fingers, hidden.
Next, take the other intact layer and place it into the hand that’s holding the torn tip.
While pretending to tear the balled-up tissue, secretly produce the hidden torn tip to make it look like you’ve really torn it.
In the end, reveal the untouched, un-torn tissue, and the magic is a success!
Magic trick where you guess the card without looking at it at all
This is a magic trick that feels a bit rough around the edges, but it’s easy to learn, so it might be perfect for elementary school kids.
It might be hard to figure out in just one go.
When you see the explanation, you might think, “Oh, that’s all it is,” but it could be a good trick to start with.
You should definitely give it a try, too.
A simple card trick using key cards
All you need is a deck of cards! This is a super simple card prediction magic trick.
While the spectator is choosing a card, all you have to do is remember the suit of the bottom card of the deck.
Then comes a technique called the false cut, which looks like you’re shuffling the cards but actually isn’t.
You can just give the cards a simple mix, but take this opportunity to practice the false cut as well!

A magic trick where a coin passes through the hand
A magic trick where a coin that should be tightly clenched in your palm passes through your hand in an instant and appears on the back of your hand.
Even if you watch closely, it looks like the coin is firmly gripped, but the secret is very simple.
When you move your hand, you briefly turn the clenched hand vertical and let the coin pop out through the gap between the thumb and index finger inside the fist, then press it onto the back of the hand with the other hand.
With a clever presentation, it really looks like the coin is penetrating through the hand, so practice hard! It’s great because you can do it anywhere as long as you have a coin.
A magic trick where a coin penetrates into a bottle
Prepare two coins.
Since lighter ones are better, 1-yen coins are ideal.
The secret is to pre-attach one 1-yen coin, moistened with water, to the underside of the jar lid.
By wetting it, the 1-yen coin will stay stuck to the lid.
Then place the other coin on top of the lid, strike a “pressing the 1-yen” pose over the lid, and perform it as if you’re focusing your will—adding a psychokinesis-style performance will really hype things up!
Magic where candy appears from a cup
Wouldn’t it be exciting if you could cast a spell on an empty cup and have lots of candy appear? This is just that kind of dreamlike magic… or so I’d like to say, but in fact there’s a setup prepared beforehand.
You’ll need two clear plastic cups, one sheet of origami paper, and lots of candy.
First, cut off the rim of one of the plastic cups and fill that cup with candy.
Next, place the candy-filled cup inside the uncut cup, and set the origami paper between them to act as a cover.
Once you’re ready, it’s time to perform! Begin by lifting the origami paper together with the candy-filled inner cup to show that there’s nothing inside the uncut plastic cup.
Then, when you cover it with the origami paper, slip the candy-filled cup back into the uncut cup—that’s all there is to it.
It requires no difficult techniques, yet the sudden appearance of a bunch of candy is sure to get everyone excited!
A magic trick where a coin vanishes using a handkerchief and a coin
You can do this magic trick with just a handkerchief, double-sided tape, and a coin, so it’s something you can perform with everyday items.
Plus, it’s simple and easy to understand.
If you handle the coin well at the end, some people might really think it disappeared! It’s the kind of trick that makes you want to try it right away.
It would probably be a hit at a school presentation or a class party.
