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!
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.
We were supposed to be on the same side…!?
This is a simple magic trick you can do with just your hands.
Be careful not to force your hands, as it can be dangerous.
It’s performed with a magician and a participant.
The magician says, “First, please stretch both hands out in front of you.” This is like the “mae ni narae” position that elementary school students know.
Next, the magician says, “Now, point both thumbs downward.” This makes the palms face outward, symmetrically.
To reveal the secret: at this moment, only the magician will have their palms facing a different direction.
A helpful tip is to distract the participant so they don’t notice the magician’s hand movement by chatting—saying things like “Got it?”—which also makes it more fun.
