Teleportation magic and its secrets: a roundup of tricks using coins, cards, and more
In magic, many mysterious phenomena occur, and among them, teleportation tricks are especially flashy, so they tend to get great reactions from audiences.
That’s why many people probably think, “I want to try a teleportation trick!”
In this article, we’ll introduce teleportation magic with coins, cards, and other objects, along with explanations of how the tricks work.
We’ve included tutorial videos by magicians uploaded to YouTube, so be sure to practice repeatedly and show them off to your family and friends.
Teleportation magic and how it’s done: A collection of tricks using coins, cards, and more (1–10)
The selected card instantly teleports to the performer’s pocket.
A classic example of teleportation magic is “the chosen card instantly travels to the pocket.” It’s a fundamental trick, so I encourage you to give it a try.
First, prepare a deck of cards.
Have a spectator choose one, then return it to the deck and shuffle.
At this point, make sure the chosen card ends up on top.
Then palm it secretly.
After that, just put your hand into your pocket and take out the card.
This palming technique is called the Top Palm.
Once you learn it, you can apply it in many ways.
Teleporting a plastic bottle with Pringles and a magic trick where something unexpected appears
For those who want to work on a magic trick with an element of surprise, I recommend a teleportation routine using a can of Pringles.
Prepare an empty Pringles can and a plastic bottle cap.
First, make the cap teleport.
Next, produce a potato from the empty can, and then restore the empty can to a factory-sealed state.
The unexpected structure guarantees more excitement than a straightforward performance.
By the way, the method is simply taking out and putting back items you had secretly palmed.
Coin vanish magic using Wiped Clean
This is a magic trick that uses techniques known as the wipe clean or change-over.
Coin magic is convenient because you can perform it anywhere as long as you have a coin.
The idea is that when you appear to transfer the coin from the hand holding it to the other hand, you actually don’t transfer it; instead, you shift it from the fingers holding it into the palm and grip it there.
The key point is the technique that, with smooth hand movements, makes it look as though neither hand is holding anything.
Coin teleportation using a card called the Coin Matrix
Introducing a coin matrix that fuses coin magic and card magic.
You use four cards and some coins.
First, place the coins at the four corners, then put a card on top of each coin.
Have the audience confirm at this point that there are no hidden gimmicks.
Then, when you turn over the cards, the coins appear to vanish.
The underlying principle is surprisingly simple: when you handle the cards, you secretly palm and move the coins.
It requires dexterity, but if you pull it off, it will amaze your audience.
Teleportation of the ring
The ring teleportation magic trick is so mysterious and really captivating, isn’t it? The ring suddenly jumps to a different finger in an instant.
The secret is actually very simple: you bend the finger that’s wearing the ring and quickly slip it onto the free middle finger.
But to pull off this trick, you have to attract the audience’s attention while hiding the move so it doesn’t get noticed.
If you practice it over and over until it’s smooth, you’ll definitely be able to amaze the people around you.
A magic trick that can make a coin disappear without using any techniques
There actually aren’t many coin tricks you can do right away without any practice or difficult techniques.
But this one you really can do with no practice at all! It’s simple yet impactful: you hold a coin in your right hand, shake it up and down as you count “1, 2, 3,” and it vanishes.
You can even have someone hold out their hand, give a signal, and the coin that disappeared will drop from somewhere, getting the audience involved and having fun! The secret is that on “1, 2, 3,” you just place the coin on top of your head while it’s in your right hand.
Once you know the trick you might think, “Oh, that’s all?” but people focus on the hands when watching magic, so if you perform confidently, they surprisingly won’t notice.
Magic where a card teleports into a lemon
There’s a magic trick you often see on TV where a playing card seems to teleport into a piece of fruit.
In fact, once you learn how it’s done, anyone can reproduce it.
First, prepare a lemon and two decks of cards.
Use a utility knife to cut off the stem end, then insert a chopstick or something similar through the opening to create space inside.
Once that’s done, insert a card.
After that, have the spectator choose the same card that you put into the lemon, have them put it away somewhere, and then later cut open the lemon.
It will look as if the card has teleported inside.
