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.
A magic trick where a coin disappears using a pen and a coin
This is a simple vanishing magic trick using a pen and a coin.
There’s no complicated principle— the key is how smoothly you transfer the coin from one hand to the other.
It’s also important not to let the coin make a sound by hitting the pen while it’s palmed.
It takes practice, but it’s sure to amaze your friends! You could probably substitute the coin with a small magnet or something similar, too!
The color of the balloon changes in an instant!
The magic trick where the color of a balloon changes in an instant with “hand power” is perfect for parties and events! Here’s how to do it: First, prepare two uninflated balloons, and place one balloon inside the other so they are layered.
In that state, inflate the inner balloon and tie its neck.
Next, prepare some sticker remover fluid and a small dropper.
In fact, when you apply sticker remover fluid to a balloon, the rubber dissolves and the balloon pops.
Once you’re ready, pretend to channel hand power into the balloon while secretly using the dropper to apply the sticker remover fluid to it…
The outer balloon will pop, revealing the inner balloon, making it look like the color changed instantly!
Magic in which black dots appear on disposable chopsticks
This magic trick makes the black dots drawn on a disposable chopstick appear to move just by shaking it! The key is how you move the hand holding the chopstick.
First, draw a cluster of black dots on one side of the chopstick in advance.
Then, while you’re shaking the chopstick vigorously, quickly flip it so that the side with the densely drawn dots faces the audience; it will look as if the dots suddenly appeared.
When ‘transferring’ the black dots to your hand, you can do the same: at the moment you grip it, just flip it so the side without the dense dots is facing outward.
Magic that turns 1,000 yen into 10,000 yen
A magic trick like a dream where a 1,000-yen bill turns into a 10,000-yen bill! Fold the 1,000-yen bill into a small shape and, the moment you blow on it, it transforms into a 10,000-yen bill.
Before you start, pre-fold a 10,000-yen bill into a small shape and hide it in your palm so the audience can’t see it.
Once that’s ready, fold the 1,000-yen bill the same way as the 10,000-yen bill.
Before folding, secretly position the 10,000-yen bill from your palm behind the 1,000-yen bill.
During the final fold, make sure the 10,000-yen bill comes to the front as you fold the 1,000-yen bill.
Then, when you blow on it, reveal the 10,000-yen bill and begin to unfold it.
Be careful how you unfold so the 1,000-yen bill remaining in your hand isn’t visible! Also take care while folding so that the larger-sized 10,000-yen bill doesn’t show.

Finger-severing magic trick!
The thumb comes off! It’s a magic trick that will surprise anyone.

If you draw the same X mark on your index finger and thumb beforehand, it makes the trick easier to understand.
You don’t need anything other than your own hands, so it’s easy to try.
Show it to your friends and you’re sure to get screams!
