[Easy Magic] Special Feature on Smartphone Magic Tricks (41–50)
Smartphone appearance case
This is a mysterious box-shaped magic prop introduced on the MAGICA channel, which publishes numerous magic tutorial videos, that can make a smartphone appear.
When you cast a spell on an empty box, a phone instantly appears inside—it’s so baffling that you can’t figure out the secret just by watching the video.
This magic prop is sold on the official MAGICA website, so if you’re interested, why not consider purchasing it? The appeal of magic props is that they let you create high-quality performances that are a cut above ordinary tricks anyone can do.
A smartphone that won’t fall off your arm
What happens if you extend your arm, place a smartphone around the inner side of your elbow, and then rotate your wrist as it is? If you actually try it, the phone will probably fall off—but this trick makes it not fall at all.
There doesn’t seem to be any particular gimmick or secret, but the key is to place the phone above the bend of the elbow, and to perform it in a way that makes it look like your hand is open and moving broadly to enhance the mystery.
After demonstrating it once, having the audience try it the same way can create a stronger sense of involvement and make things more exciting.
A smartphone that rotates 360 degrees?

♪ Kesha – Take It Off – Yezi (Leaf)
It’s a quick magic trick that makes you do a double take: a hand holding a smartphone appears to rotate 360 degrees.
If you tried to copy it right after watching the video, your wrist probably only turned about 180 degrees, right? That’s when many people have the “oh!” moment.
The secret is starting with your wrist already twisted 180 degrees, which lets you complete a full 360-degree rotation in the end.
It’s a simple, unassuming gimmick, but perfect as a light trick to use in casual conversation or as a fun icebreaker at a drinking party.
Smartphone Vanishing Magic

Original song – MY/💝No War🤝 – MY/💝No War🤝
This is a magic trick where you hold your smartphone with both hands as if wrapping it from the sides and rotate it… and then the phone seemingly disappears, only to reappear when you return your hands to their original position.
The secret is very simple: when your left hand comes to the front, you conceal the phone with just your left hand and show your right hand empty, making it look like the phone has vanished.
If someone views it from a diagonal angle or from the side rather than from the front, the trick will be exposed, so be mindful of your angles when performing it.
A coin penetrates a smartphone
This is a magic trick where a 500-yen coin placed on a smartphone appears to pass through the phone and drop into a glass.
It looks difficult at first, but the method is actually very simple, so with practice anyone can do it.
First, place a 500-yen coin on the rim of the glass, then place the smartphone over it so the coin is hidden.
Next, show another 500-yen coin, pretend to place it on top of the smartphone, but secretly hold it in your other hand.
Finally, slightly shift the smartphone over the glass so the hidden coin drops.
The key is to move quickly without pausing.
Give it a try and practice!
Magic that makes your smartphone stick to your hand
It’s a magic trick where you gradually lift your fingers—one, two, and so on—from the smartphone in your right hand, and in the end even when you open your hand, the phone doesn’t fall.
Some of you may have noticed from the video, but the secret is that the index finger of your left hand, placed against your right wrist, is actually holding the phone in place.
If someone sees it in person, they’ll probably catch on quickly, so it might be useful to remember as a little joke for a drinking party.
That said, it can be surprisingly hard to spot on video, so if you have a chance to show a trick on camera, give it a try.
A prank magic trick that cracks a smartphone screen
It’s a shocking act where you hit a smartphone screen with a brick and appear to crack the display.
In reality, the brick is a soft toy, and the phone is merely showing an image that looks like a shattered screen.
You can use this trick as a basis for other magic, such as “restoring” the broken screen, or incorporating it into different routines.
Since the cracked-screen image really looks convincing from a short distance, performing with confidence is the key to success.
