A rubber band passes through a smartphone
This is a simple magic trick using a smartphone and a rubber band.
The secret lies in how you put on the rubber band.
First, put the rubber band on the phone normally.
Then twist the band, hold the crossed part with your thumb, twist it once in the opposite direction from the first twist, and hook it onto the phone again.
After a magical gesture, pull the band and release your thumb: it will slip off smoothly.
If you fumble while putting on the band, it will look suspicious, so practice until you can do it smoothly.
It’s easy to replicate, yet it feels very mysterious.
blurry screen
https://www.tiktok.com/@magician_veve/video/7099757720986750209A must-see for iPhone users! Here’s a trick to make the screen look blurry.
The trick itself is quite simple.
First, open any screen you like and hold your phone as if pinching it with your thumb.
Then lightly shake your wrist.
At the same time, gradually slide your thumb across the screen.
The screen will naturally appear to blur.
The key to this trick is making people believe the blur comes from shaking the phone, not from your thumb.
Specifications may vary by model, so give it a try and see how it works on yours.
Numbers that don’t flip over
This is a magic trick where you use the calculator app on a smartphone to turn a screen full of 6s into 9s.
The secret is to enter 3 on the display beforehand, press the plus button, and then press 6 just once.
When performing the trick, say, “Today I’m going to turn these 6s into 9s,” then tap 6 repeatedly, and finally press the equals button.
The pre-entered 3 and 6 get added, so every digit shown becomes 9.
A tip for presenting this trick is to turn the phone upside down before pressing equals and joke that the 6s have already become 9s, then do the reveal.
It’s sure to amaze your audience!
A magic trick where a smartphone goes inside a balloon
An ordinary inflated balloon.
How could a smartphone fit inside it!? And then the phone comes back out afterward! It can be anyone’s phone, and as long as the balloon is the kind that inflates into a round shape, any balloon will do, which makes it even more convincing! If you master this magic trick, you might become the talk of your friends!
Try stabbing a sword into a smartphone
There’s a classic magic routine where you plunge a sword through something.
With its flashy visuals, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
To perform a sword-through trick using a smartphone, you’ll need a bit of prep.
Cut a hole in a flat piece of cardboard to mount the smartphone, and set it up so you can thrust a cardboard sword through it.
You can find detailed instructions on websites and YouTube.
By the way, the secret is that the sword you thrust is collapsible, and the tip of a fake sword pops out on the other side.

Magic where snacks come out of a smartphone
It’s a magic trick where, when you quickly flick a piece of candy displayed on your smartphone screen toward the outside of the screen, a real piece of candy pops out.
What you prepare is the candy you want to produce and a photo of it taken from a distance.
Enlarge the photo to actual size and set it up so that when you move it quickly, it disappears off the screen.
Then, as you move the candy on the screen, you simply produce the candy you’ve been holding behind the phone.
The key is to match the real candy and the image in size precisely and to move the candy behind the phone smoothly.
