Simple Magic! Recommended Tricks for Performances and Entertainment (61–70)
Insanely easy magic
This is a magic trick using a coin and a handkerchief.
You wrap the coin placed in the center of the handkerchief.
It’s fine to let the audience touch it and check.
But when you unfold the handkerchief, the coin has disappeared! The reveal is that the secret move happened at the very moment the audience was checking it! Well done.
No prep needed: Thumb magic
The thumb-detaching-and-reattaching magic trick—many of us were amazed by it as kids, weren’t we? Of course, the thumb isn’t actually coming off; you simply bend the thumb of the opposite hand at a right angle and cover the joint with your index finger.
But when it’s performed well, it really looks as if the thumb has vanished.
It’s perfect for surprising children, and it’s also an ideal, prop-free magic trick for kids to try for the first time.
Give it a go!

A ring that climbs up something like a white string held with both hands! It climbs very, very slowly.
Not just the ring—5-yen coins and paper clips climb too.
The secret is that it wasn’t a string at all, but a cut rubber band.
The rest is super simple.
You can do it right away!
Simple card magic anyone can do
“There are four kinds of cards in a deck, right? Red and black, and…” he says, casually dealing out four cards as if stating the obvious.
You’re thinking, well, of course—until you’re stunned! Because when he says red and black, he means those red and black!? That’s the magic of it.
Super easy! The coin disappears! Coin magic!
It’s a magic trick where you slam a coin onto the table hard enough to make a loud sound, and then the coin seems to vanish from that spot.
The fact that you could hear it just a moment before but can’t see it now makes it feel even more mysterious.
The key is the hand movement right after making the first sound with the coin: while making a motion as if putting the coin into your hand, you actually drop it off the near edge of the table.
Then, in sync with the slamming motion on top of the table, you produce the coin sound from underneath to make it seem like the coin is still on the table.
It might be important to check in advance how different the sound resonates from the top and bottom of the table.
