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.

Revival of the newspaper

[Easy Magic Trick] Newspaper Restoration! [With Explanation♪]

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.

Elevator Card Magic

[With Explanations] Professional-Level Card Magic Anyone Can Do Easily!

This is a magic trick themed around an elevator: a card that should be somewhere in the middle of the deck rises to the top with a snap of the fingers.

If you master a few techniques, memorize the routine, and perform it smoothly, it’s sure to amaze your audience! However, the patter you use to explain what’s happening and the actual handling of the cards can differ, so acting skills are also required.

In addition to the essential break used in card magic, this trick calls for a slightly more advanced technique known as the Elmsley Count.

The Elmsley Count lets you display four cards while secretly hiding one of them, making it appear as though all four are shown—this plays a crucial role in the latter part of the routine.

Once you’ve learned these techniques, you’ll be able to perform other card tricks as well, so take this opportunity to give it a try!

Read Your Mind! Math Magic

[Arithmetic Magic] ~I will read your mind and guess the number~

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?

You can do calculations with playing cards!? Simple playing-card magic

[761] [Do It Right Away] You can do calculations with playing cards!? A super fun and easy magic trick [Revealed]

In this magic trick, you do a calculation using two selected playing cards.

For example, let’s say the selected cards are a 6 and a 2.

Add 6 and 2 to get 8… then when you turn over the 8th card from the top of the deck, an 8 will appear.

This is a self-working trick, meaning it requires no sleight of hand.

By placing the 4, 8, Q, and 3 at predetermined positions in the deck beforehand, doing the math will make the correct card appear from the deck.

At the beginning, you show three cards, but in fact all three are 6s—and the next three cards are all 2s!

The answer is always 3!? A mysterious calculation

[Magic] The answer will always be “3”!? Mysterious calculation

Have the audience think of a favorite number, then follow your instructions to calculate.

First, add 1 to the number they thought of.

Next, double that result and then add 4.

After that, divide by 2, and finally subtract the original number they thought of… Did the answer come out to 3? With this curious calculation, no matter what number they start with, if they follow the steps correctly, they will always end up with 3.

Since the audience likely doesn’t know it will be 3, reveal that you had predicted the number after they get their answer to amaze them.

Self-working prediction magic

A no-practice prediction magic trick with amazing cost performance [Revealed]

You’ve probably come across tricks that claim “No practice needed!” but then turn out to require at least a bit of getting used to—like those clickbait thumbnails on video sites.

The magic introduced here, however, is taught from the perspective of a science/engineering college student.

You precisely predict the number of cards handed to you by the spectator, which feels truly mysterious! It looks like a magic trick, but it’s actually just a mathematical phenomenon.

As long as you memorize the steps, anyone—from young children to quite elderly folks—can perform it.
