Magic
coin tricks can be
relatively easy to
learn and are fun to perform. They take some practice to perfect, but
it is worth it.
For this magic coin trick you will need two
coins. I recommend that you use a penny and a nickel.
To begin this trick, you will need one of
the coins in the hand of someone in your audience. They will need to
hold the coin with their palm facing upward with the coin sitting in
the hand.
You will then explain to the person that you
will grab the
coin before they can close their fingers around it. You will hold your
hand with your fingers slightly separated over the palm of the person
with the coin. You will then attempt to quickly pick up the coin with
your thumb and first three fingers.
The participant will think that they can be
quicker than you; they think this because they still feel a circular
object in their hand, but it ends up being the other coin.
Learning magic coin tricks can be really
fun, but sometimes you need someone to know the trick to be able to
practice it effectively. Ask a friend to help you who you know will not
reveal how the trick is done.
You will want to put a coin in your
friend’s hand and put the other coin on your palm in the
crease between your thumb and forefinger. Hold your hand so it looks
like you are going to grab the other’s coin.
As you begin to snatch up the coin in your
friend’s hand, tell your friend to slowly close their hand
because you are still learning how to do this. You will then pick up
the coin and quickly drop the other coin at the exact same time into
their palm from your hand.
You can then instruct your friend to close
their hand. As you continue practicing, you will get quicker and your
friend can begin to close their hand as fast as they can.
After you have the coin trick down, you can
try it out in front of an audience. Do not close the trick by showing
your have the coin that was originally in their hand. Let them open up
their fist and see that they have a different coin than the one they
started out with.
Magic coin tricks are great to perform with
kids. This is one of those fun tricks to try out on an audience of
children.
