Teleportation magic and explanations: A roundup of tricks using coins, cards, and more (31–40)
Grasshopper
This is a transposition-style magic trick performed with a total of five cards: four Jacks and one card chosen by a spectator.
The chosen card is apparently sandwiched between the two red Jacks, but after a magical gesture, it disappears and reappears between the two black Jacks.
The secret is that the card placed between the red Jacks was actually a black Jack, secretly switched to avoid detection.
In other words, at the moment of the ‘teleportation,’ the two red Jacks and one black Jack are together in one packet, while the other packet contains the remaining black Jack and the spectator’s chosen card stacked together.
Watch the video closely and see if you can spot where the switch happens.
The trump card teleports to the opposite packet.
Let me introduce a teleporting playing card magic trick.
First, shuffle the deck well.
Next, riffle through the cards and have a spectator say “stop.” From that point, use only eight cards.
Ask them to choose any card from those eight, then return it to the deck.
The trick is that you’ll then find the selected card from within the deck.
The key points are to separate the remaining seven cards while the spectator is memorizing theirs, and to do any necessary setup while keeping their attention diverted with patter.
When performing, as shown in the video, involving the spectator really amps up the excitement! Try using inviting prompts so they can enjoy participating.
Teleportation magic you can do with disposable chopsticks
How about a teleportation magic trick using disposable chopsticks? All you need are two pairs of chopsticks in their sleeves, a utility knife, and glue.
When you shake these chopsticks sideways while they’re still in the bag—like magic!—the chopsticks that were inside the bag jump out on top of it.
You’ll need to prepare the props in advance for this trick.
Please use the video as a reference to set up the gimmick.
Once the gimmick is ready, the trick itself is very easy, so you’ll master it in no time! Give it a try!
In conclusion
We introduced a variety of teleportation magic tricks.
Teleportation magic is fundamentally about “hiding an object and making it appear somewhere else,” so many of these tricks require concealment techniques.
That means you’ll need a certain amount of practice, but the effects are flashy, and performing them will definitely amaze your audience! Be sure to practice repeatedly in front of a mirror or by filming yourself on video.
