The pen vanishing magic trick, which has a big visual impact, is also a must-see.
The method is very simple: hold a pen in your right hand, briefly wave your left hand over it, and the pen disappears.
Even if someone checks your hands afterward, they won’t find the pen.
The key to this trick is to wear long sleeves.
Extend an elastic string from inside your sleeve and tie it to the pen.
Then, when you let go, the pen is pulled up and vanishes.
Using the same idea, you could probably make a pen case or an eraser disappear too.
A coin that disappears from your fingertips

One of the fundamental magic techniques is the palm.
Palming means secretly holding an object in your hand.
As perfect practice for this, let me introduce a trick where a coin vanishes from your fingertips.
You use a single 10-yen coin, holding it as if pinched between the thumb and index finger of your right hand.
Then, after briefly passing your left hand over it, the coin disappears.
All you’re doing is hiding the coin in a blind spot, but when you try it, you’ll find it’s surprisingly challenging.
That said, it’s a versatile technique, so it’s definitely worth learning.
An empty plastic bottle becomes like new
Many people love flashy performances, right? In that case, here’s a trick I’d love you to try: turning an empty plastic bottle into a brand-new one.
In this trick, you place an empty bottle into a paper bag and it transforms into a new bottle.
The secret is that you’ve already placed a new bottle inside the bag and you secretly switch them.
Also, prepare the empty bottle so it can collapse or shrink.
That way, you can crush the paper bag afterward and really surprise your audience.
Be sure to put care into your performance when you present it.
Read Your Mind! Math Magic
First, choose a number from 1 to 9.
Then add 1 to that number and multiply by 2, then add 6 and divide by 2.
Finally, subtract the number you originally chose, and you’ll end up with 4.
It’s a magic trick where no matter which number you pick, the final result is always 4, so as long as you remember the steps, anyone can perform this prediction trick successfully.
As long as the arithmetic or mathematical expression holds, you can change the content and arrange it in different ways, so why not come up with your own version?
Revival of the newspaper
There’s a routine you often see on TV or in magic shows where a torn piece of paper is restored.
Here’s how to recreate it.
First, prepare two newspapers.
One is for tearing, and the other is for later reveal.
Attach a wire to the one you’ll reveal.
Then hide the wired newspaper inside the unfolded newspaper, and after you tear the outer one, trap the torn section against the wire before spreading the newspaper open.
This conceals the torn part and makes it look like it has been restored.
