Communication Magic Through Business Card Exchange
When you receive a business card, say, “Looks like we have a connection!” and perform a trick where you produce a five-yen coin from the card.
Hold the prepared five-yen coin concealed behind the card, and as you give the card a light shake, make the coin appear.
Move the card naturally and show both sides to emphasize that there’s no trick involved.
Since you’ll be holding the coin along the back side, cover it with your fingers and shift it toward the edge when showing the back to keep it hidden.
It’s a magic trick you can use in many situations as long as you have a card and a coin.
Rope escape magic
If you want to amaze your friends with a simple trick, the Rope Escape Magic is perfect.
You only need two items: a string and a handkerchief.
Interlace your fingers tightly, tie both thumbs firmly with the string, and cover your hands with the handkerchief to hide them.
The key is to pull on the string with your thumbs while tying, leaving just a bit of slack.
It looks securely tied, but you can actually slip your hands out.
Fan your hands a little and say, “Whew, it’s a bit hot,” and you’ll start hearing, “Wait, did you get out?” along with murmurs and laughter.
It’s a trick anyone can master quickly—ideal for beginners.

String Magic
This is a magic trick where, when you grip a knot in a rope with your hand and move it, the knot appears to slide along the rope and eventually come off the rope entirely.
By keeping a firm grip, it looks as if you’re gradually pushing the knot along with strength.
The key is how you tie the rope: use a knot that will come undone when pulled.
That’s what sells both the illusion of applied force and the movement of the knot.
You should also secretly hold a separate knot in your hand beforehand, and make it look as similar as possible to the knot on the rope.
That resemblance is crucial to making it appear as though the knot has come off the rope.
Coin Transformation Magic
The coin swaps in an instant! Here’s an idea for a coin transformation magic trick.
Anyone would be surprised if the coin in your hand suddenly turned into a completely different one.
This trick is simple and easy to understand, so it’s recommended for beginners.
You’ll need a 500-yen coin, a 10-yen coin, a thin rubber string, duct tape, and scissors.
Using coins that differ in color and size makes the switch easier to notice.
Give it a try!
3 Easy Magic Tricks
We want even clumsy beginners to give it a try! Here are three ideas for easy magic tricks.
These are perfect for anyone thinking, “I want to try magic, but I’m clumsy and worried I’ll mess up…” or “I want something simple that still gets people excited!” Of course, performing magic does require some practice.
In the video, we introduce three relatively easy tricks.
The tricks use items like chewing gum, sugar cubes, and chocolate, so they’re likely to catch visitors’ interest as well.
The disappearing middle finger!
A simple magic trick you can do without any props is the disappearing middle finger.
Open one hand with the palm facing you, then place your other hand on top.
As you slide the top hand, fold your middle finger at the same time so it looks like it disappears.
If your audience says, “You’re just bending your finger,” reply, “It really disappeared,” and flip your hands over.
The key is to keep your middle and index fingers pressed together, then open them as you turn your hands over.
Learn this two-phase trick and try performing it in front of everyone!
A huge amount of water appeared in the empty bucket!
I’ll introduce a magic trick where water gushes out from a bucket that was empty.
Prepare a child’s bucket, a water balloon inflated with water, and a chopstick with a safety pin stapled to it so the pin’s point sticks out at the top.
Show the child’s bucket to the audience and tell them there’s no water inside while secretly hiding the water balloon that’s set inside.
Say, “I’ll cast a spell,” pick up the chopstick, and casually poke the water balloon with it—that’s the key move.
Remove the pieces of the burst balloon as you swirl the water with your hand.
If you pour the water from the child’s bucket into a large bucket, the magic is a success!
