[Easy Magic] A Special Feature on Smartphone Magic (1–10)
A simple yet fun Magic Smartphone
It’s a magic trick where, even though you supposedly multiply random numbers, the final result ends up being a sequence of digits related to a birthday.
You have the spectator multiply a two-digit number, then a three-digit number, then a four-digit number in order, but in reality the calculations have nothing to do with the number that appears at the end.
The trick uses a function that gets hidden when the smartphone is held vertically, allowing you to force the number you want to display at the end.
A key point is to use calculations that produce as many digits as possible so the spectator won’t realize the final number doesn’t match the true calculation.
iPhone MAGIC SPIDER TRICK PRANK
Someone placed a smartphone set to camera mode on my hand.
Then a spider starts walking across my palm from the edge of the screen! It’s a bit startling, but I figured it was just something happening on the phone screen… or so I thought—there’s actually a spider on the back of my hand too!? If someone did this to me, I’d probably be scared out of my wits!
I’ll guess your phone!
It’s a magic trick where you simply follow the steps using your smartphone’s calculator, and the final total displayed becomes the last eight digits of your own phone number.
Rather than the magician doing it, it works best if the audience members input the numbers themselves.
You multiply, divide, and add numbers that seem completely unrelated, but by dividing by 2 at the end, the last eight digits appear.
As long as you follow the order and avoid mistyping, it will work—give it a try!
iPhone magic 100-yen bonus
A 100-yen coin is placed on a smartphone screen.
A card is then placed over it.
Suddenly, the 100-yen coin appears inside the screen! And when the card is placed over it again, the coin disappears and is now in the palm of the hand holding the phone! It looks as if the coin passed through the smartphone.
How on earth did that happen?!
The numbers are gradually disappearing.
Here’s a simple magic trick using a little-known iPhone feature! All you need is the iPhone’s built-in calculator.
First, open the calculator and type in numbers until the screen is full.
Any numbers are fine.
Then, when you gently swipe across the screen, the numbers mysteriously disappear one by one until it returns to 0.
In fact, this just uses a feature where swiping from right to left across the number display deletes one digit at a time.
If you don’t know about this feature, it really feels like a magical trick!
I’ll guess your birthday!
Let me show you a fun magic trick that guesses your birthday.
To make this trick work, you’ll need to remember and follow the steps.
First, multiply the number of your birth month by 4.
Then add 9 to the result and multiply by 25.
Next, add the day you were born and subtract 225.
Your birthday will appear! You can easily do this using your smartphone’s calculator, so give it a try if you like.
It could be a delightful surprise to perform on someone’s birthday.
Coin magic using an iPhone
A 10-yen coin is casually placed on top of a smartphone.
After watching for a while—huh!? Did it slip into the phone? Before you know it, the top of the phone is covered with 10-yen coins.
It seems to be a trick using an app and the phone’s gravity sensor! The music and the magic were both mysterious!
A simple magic trick anyone can do: make an iPhone disappear!
It’s a magic trick using a smartphone… or is it okay to call it that? It’s a trick where the phone that was in your hand disappears.
To be precise, it’s more like a magic-style effect you can create using a smartphone’s video editing features.
You’re probably thinking, “What is he talking about?” If you want to see the whole thing, be sure to watch the video!
Smartphone coin magic trick
It’s a magic trick where you press a coin against a smartphone placed over a glass, and even though there’s no hole, the coin appears to pass through the phone and drop into the glass.
The fact that the coin you were pressing is no longer there makes it really look like it penetrated.
You prepare two coins: in addition to the coin you press, another coin is set up between the smartphone and the rim of the glass.
Then, as you make the pressing motion, you slide the phone to let the hidden coin fall, while using the angle of your fingers to make the coin on top seem to vanish.
Calculator App Magic Where the ‘8’ Moves
Here’s a magic trick where the number on a calculator app instantly changes from “12345678” to “81234567,” making it look like the 8 moved from the back to the front.
It’s a very simple setup, so anyone can do it.
First, without letting the other person see, enter “68888889” and then “+”.
Next, in front of them, type “12345678.” With a magical flourish, press “=” and it will display “81234567.” It’s a trick that uses a calculation.
You can try it right away with any calculator app or physical calculator, so give it a go!
