Tejina Senpai is a series currently being serialized in Weekly Young Magazine, and is set to be adapted into an anime in the summer of 2019! In the story, Senpai attempts various magic tricks, but is generally unsuccessful. We've made a subjective, opinionated ranking of the most outstanding magic tricks that appeared in the series, including failed ones!
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai's Magic Ranking #1 "Body Dismemberment Magic"
There is a way to make a body dismemberment magic trick look like it is done by one person, but in fact it is done by two people who fold the body to make it look like it is dismembered, but it is pointed out to them that if Senpai and Saki do it together, they will be found out because of the thinness of their legs. Senpai gets angry and tries to use his assistant as a test subject for the dismemberment magic.
This is what happens when Senpai does it alone
But Senpai also had a way to do it alone. After cutting it, he would move around using the hollow part of the pedestal. However, the sound of what Senpai was doing gave away most of it, and when he moved, Senpai took a wrong turn and was stuck there with only his ass. It was Senpai's specialty to fail a magic trick and expose his ass.
【Magic Senior】Magic Senior Magic Ranking 2nd Place "Instant Disappearance Magic"
The magic club is going to the beach for their summer training camp. The excited seniors all go together to pick out swimsuits. At that moment, the seniors come up with an idea in the fitting room. If they make their shoes, which are placed in front of the fitting room, look like they are in the fitting room next door, it will look like a disappearance magic trick. The seniors who come up with this idea move their shoes and call their assistant.
The store clerk's consideration
However, the store clerk noticed that the shoes had been moved and thought it was a child's prank or something, so he put the shoes back in their original position. And the senior, of course, didn't notice. Moreover, he was so engrossed in the magic trick that he was naked. Naturally, the assistant opened the fitting room in the correct position. The store clerk's consideration made it a failure, but in a way it was a child's prank.
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai's Magic Ranking 3rd Place: Card Magic
To celebrate the one month anniversary since the assistant joined the magic club, Senpai, who started talking like a bothersome girlfriend, went to the trouble of preparing a card with "One Month with Senpai" written on it. When he shuffled the cards and snapped his fingers, the cards were supposed to return to their original positions, but...
Extreme!! Senpai for 1,000 yen per shot
But as expected, the cards were all over the place. What's more, they were rearranged in a clever way and rearranged into Kageki Ippatsu Sen♡n. Senpai seems to be a woman who costs 1,000 yen per shot. Also, Senpai seems to be a dead fish.
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai's Magic Ranking 4th Place "Escape Magic from a Box"
This is a magic trick that Senpai tried to show to welcome the new students. He enters a box, covers it with a cloth, and locks it. After that, he escapes through another door that opens. The assistant who locked the box was feeling uneasy, and as expected, Senpai did not come out no matter how many minutes passed.
Senior can't get out
Thinking it was all over, the assistant quickly moved the box with Senior in it and opened it. Senior had turned upside down and was no longer able to escape. Senior was saved from a pinch by the assistant, but the assistant was so vulgar that he backed off and closed the box again.
【Magic Senior】Magic Senior's Magic Ranking 5th Place "Pigeon Birth Magic"
Senpai kept a white pigeon that he often uses in his magic tricks. Pigeons are generally gentle and easy to get along with, but Senpai's pigeon was a rowdy one and did not like Senpai at all. When he let the pigeon out of the birdcage, it flew around the clubroom. Senpai tried to lure it with food, but the pigeon charged into Senpai's clothes. After raging inside the clothes, the pigeon escaped from Senpai's skirt. Senpai tried to cover up this pathetic series of events by insisting that it was "Pigeon Birth Magic".
Bahamut never came back
The wild pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the sky through the open window of the clubroom. The senior could only watch the pigeon fly away while calling out its name. The pigeon's name was "Bahamut." It's a familiar name from games. The one that shoots megaflares and blows away followers. But Bahamut never came back.
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai Magic Ranking 6th Place "Dove Magic Part 2"
In order to film a magic trick for a video, Senpai attempts a magic trick where a dove appears out of nowhere. However, the results are disastrous, with doves appearing before the magic trick is even done, the dove almost lifting her skirt, and the dove being visible from behind.
Under that girl's skirt
After making a lot of mistakes and making a fool of herself, the senior tries to pull out a pigeon from her right hand, but the pigeon doesn't come out. Then, a few seconds later, the pigeon appears from under the senior's skirt. The assistant takes a video of the scene. Magic tricks are quite difficult.
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai's magic ranking 7th place "Magic that makes a stick appear"
A magic trick in which a stick appears from nothing. The stick is folded and stored, and appears with the same agility as when you retract a tape measure. Senpai tries to show Saki and the others the magic of the stick. However... the extended stick hits the stomach of the assistant behind him.
The assistant turns black
Then, the assistant, who received a heavy blow, clutches his stomach and looks like a black costume, saying "I'll kill you." Even so, the senior doesn't seem to care at all and just laughs. He continues with the next magic trick without being discouraged at all.
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai's Magic Ranking 8th Place "Flower Pot Magic"
An idea magic trick in which holes are made in a picture of a flower pot, and the buds are like eyes, the flowers are like noses, and the leaves are like teeth. It may be closer to street performance than magic. In the middle of the trick, he sneezes and releases nectar.
However, at the end, he tries to roll up the paper to release real fruit, but fails at the last moment.
The seeds came out
The senior somehow manages to cover up the situation by saying that the seeds came out before the fruit. It makes for a pretty good punchline. The fruit is a mandarin orange, which was given to him by a nearby farmer. However, he gets some mandarin oranges from his older sister teacher, so he ends up with even more mandarin oranges.
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai's Magic Ranking 9th Place "Four Ball Magic"
Four ball magic is a magic trick where you hold a ball between your fingers and when you hold your hand over it, the ball disappears. This magic trick uses a technique called palming, where you hold the ball in your palm, but Senpai has small hands and suffers from stage fright, so his hands get really sweaty and, above all, the size of the balls was big, so it didn't work. One of the reasons for this was that Senpai bought a large ball and played with it because he thought it looked cool.
Food disappearing magic trick
The senior tried to do a similar trick using the snack bell castella, but he had food on his cheek and it was obvious where he had hidden it, but the game of eating snacks as if they had disappeared became popular in the magic club.
【Magic Senpai】Magic Senpai Magic Ranking #10 "Balloon Magic"
Senpai was originally not good with balloons, but he thought he could overcome that with magic. But as expected, the balloon flew away and ended up flipping Senpai's skirt. Senpai then tried a trick that anyone could do: threading a bamboo skewer through a bamboo stick.
Magic trick of sticking a bamboo skewer into a balloon
The trick is simple. Just stick a bamboo skewer into the thickest part of the rubber on the opposite side of the balloon's inflating hole, it's a simple trick that anyone can do. That part is stronger than the other parts, and the thickness of the rubber can cover any small holes. Senpai tries to insert and remove the tip little by little, but the moment he lets his guard down, it breaks. This is a story about a balloon.
