Magic that changes the shape of a hole in a newspaper
What do you think happens if you round off the corner of a newspaper that’s been folded into quarters and then unfold it? Normally, you’d expect the center to be rounded, right? But in this magic trick, it’s not a circle—it’s cut out as a square! The secret is in how the newspaper is prepared.
In fact, two sheets are glued together along the edges, and the second sheet has a square pre-cut in it.
When you cut the first sheet, you fold it cleverly so the second sheet doesn’t get cut.
With a little preparation, it’s easy to perform—give it a try!
Mysterious magic where colored pencils disappear
@takuro_magic Colored pencils disappear!! A magic trick anyone can doMagic tricksTranslationreveal of the trick
Good music – neguse.
It’s a magic trick that surprises the audience in two stages: first, the colored pencils seem to vanish from the box in an instant, and then they appear again.
Of course, this trick has a method: about 60% is preparation and 40% is performance technique.
First, cut the colored pencils to about two-thirds of their original length and tape them together so they don’t come apart.
During the performance, place these modified pencils in the box and hold them firmly so they don’t fall.
Cover the box with your other hand and say a magic word; at the same time, relax the grip of the hand holding the box… and the pencils drop to the bottom of the box, making it look like they’ve disappeared.
The key is whether you can make it look natural, as if they truly vanished, so be sure to practice thoroughly.
Magic with moving tissues
This is a magic trick using tissues that anyone has.
You and your spectator each hold a crumpled tissue in your hands, but in an instant, yours appears to travel into the spectator’s hand.
It requires no setup, yet creates a surprising effect that involves your audience—so give it a try.
The secret: you pretend to grip the tissue in your left hand, but secretly move it to your right.
Then you hand over both that tissue and the one you were supposedly going to give the spectator, passing two tissues together and having them unknowingly hold both in their closed hand.
Old notebooks like new!
Let me show you a simple magic trick using a notebook! If you rub the cover of a notebook covered in pencil scribbles with an eraser, it turns into a brand-new notebook.
Here’s how to do it.
First, on a two-page spread, write something in pencil.
Leave the next two-page spread blank, then write something on the following spread—repeat this pattern.
Next, simply cut off the bottom-right corner and the top-left corner of the pages you wrote on.
Mysteriously, when you flip the pages from the bottom, only the written pages open, and when you flip from the top, only the blank pages open—making the notebook look brand-new!
Elevator Boy Magic
A mysterious magic trick where a card you supposedly insert in the middle rises to the top like an elevator at the cue “Going up!” All you need are four red cards and the black 2 through 5.
Keep the black cards in numerical order.
When you separate the cards by color, secretly move one red card over to the black side—this is the key to making the trick work.
Since the black cards are in order, even if you turn them face down, spectators will still assume they remain in order.
With that preconception in place, as you insert cards one by one into the red packet, the secretly added red card causes the black sequence to shift, making the card that should have been in the middle rise to the top like an elevator.
It takes a bit of technique, so practice and earn your place as a crowd favorite!
Magic using a rubber band: revealing the secret of the restoration trick
A mysterious magic trick where a snapped rubber band miraculously comes back to life.
Tricks that restore objects seem difficult, but even elementary school kids can do this one with a little practice! Hold a single rubber band in its normal looped state, then use your hand or teeth to “cut” it.
But right away, the rubber band that should have been torn returns to its original shape! The key to this trick is how you hold the rubber band before the cut.
You hold it so the circumference of the band is doubled, and when you “cut,” you only perform the cutting motion—you don’t actually cut it.
When the band’s circumference is doubled and held taut, it looks like a single rubber band.
If you practice your hand movements properly, it’s easy to pull off!

How to make playing cards disappear
Card magic is a classic, so it’s handy to learn at least one trick.
Here, we introduce a basic trick where you make a playing card disappear.
The secret is simple: when you grip the card, pinch it with your index finger and pinky.
Then use your middle and ring fingers to flip the card over and hide it on the back of your hand.
To your audience, it looks like the card vanishes in an instant.
You can do this with anything made of non-rigid paper, like business cards or clinic cards, so give it a try as a quick party trick.
