A magic trick where you catch a fish from plain water! All you need is a plastic bottle with the top cut off, water, a one-way mirror, and a fish and fishing rod made from construction paper and a chopstick, etc.

Attach magnets to the fish and the rod.

First, place the mirror diagonally inside the cut plastic bottle.

Then pour water into the front section separated by the mirror, and hide the fish behind the mirror—prep complete.

Since the fish is concealed from the audience, it looks like you’ve caught a fish out of nowhere!

Water and a bag

Water and a paper bag

Water and a bag

An evolved take on a classic magic trick—be sure to check out the water and paper bag version.

One of its charms is the comedic presentation.

First, you open a paper bag and pour a glass of water into it.

Next, as if searching for the water, you put the paper bag over your head.

But no water comes out.

Then, when you tilt the paper bag back over the glass, the water pours out—that’s the effect.

If you want to try this trick, dedicated kits are available for purchase and are recommended.

By the way, the paper bag is polypropylene-coated, so it can be reused.

Magic where shaking the bottle colors the water

[Easy Magic] Water that changes color when you shake it…? ✨ #shorts #MemoryTreeNursery #nursery #nurseryTeacher #kids #earlyChildhoodEdStudent #play #nurseryTeacherLife #parenting

Magic where shaking the bottle colors the water

It’s a magic trick where you pour water into a plastic bottle and shake it vigorously, and the water turns colored.

Small children will really enjoy it.

The trick is to apply some water-based paint to the inside of the bottle cap and let it dry beforehand.

When performing, carefully close the cap so the water doesn’t touch it.

In winter or when the water is cold, the paint won’t dissolve easily even if you shake it, so using slightly warm water makes it mix more readily—highly recommended.

Magic that turns juice into water

Juice turns into water! A simple, crowd-pleasing magic trick [secret revealed] Magic trick explanation revealed

Magic that turns juice into water

A mysterious magic trick where juice turns into water in an instant… The truth is, there was never any juice in there to begin with! All you need are two clear cups, water, colored pens, and a cloth to cover the cups.

Cut one of the clear cups with scissors and remove the bottom with a utility knife.

Color it with pens so it looks like juice, then fit it inside the unaltered clear cup.

Next, pour water up to the colored section to make it look like juice.

Finally, while covering it with the cloth, use your thumb to pull out the inner cup you prepared.

Success! It looks like the water has changed color.

The magical straw that makes water rise

[Magic] The Magical Straw That Makes Water Rise [Revealed]

The magical straw that makes water rise

Wouldn’t it be strange if a straw stuck in a cup started drawing up water all by itself? With that, let me introduce a magic trick: the magical straw that makes water rise.

All you need for this trick is a perfectly ordinary cup filled with water and a slightly shortened straw.

When you insert the straw, grip the tip firmly and then release it.

The water will start drawing up on its own.

It’s the same principle as a pump.

It can also be fun to mime sucking it up in midair for added effect.

Magic where water disappears

[Magic Revealed] Easy Magic Kids Can Do! 'The Disappearing Water Magic' [#TryItAtHome]

Magic where water disappears

A magic trick where the water you poured disappears! What you need: a paper cup and confetti, a paper cup with a white lid, and a disposable diaper.

Pack the absorbent pad from the diaper into the paper cup and secure it with tape.

Also, attach a plastic bottle cap (to hold the confetti) to the inside of the paper cup.

Then add the confetti and you’re set! Pour water into the paper cup, avoiding the cap, and when the diaper has absorbed the water, tilt the cup forward so the inside can’t be seen and flip it over.

If done right, the water will seem to vanish—trick successful!

A magic trick to float a 1-yen coin on water

https://www.tiktok.com/@me.mino.steam/video/7262518314683862274

A magic trick where a 1-yen coin that normally sinks in water floats easily! Cut a piece of tissue paper (like the kind sold at 100-yen shops) to a size that fits the 1-yen coin, place it on the water, and then set the coin on top.

Gently remove the tissue paper with a toothpick, and the coin will float beautifully on the water.

However, if you put a bit of detergent containing surfactants on the tip of the toothpick and touch it to the water, the 1-yen coin will sink to the bottom in an instant! If the tissue paper stands out too much in clear water, we recommend tinting the water lightly.

Give it a try!
