For example, say you want to make a coin disappear from the palm of your hand. Here's how you do it step by step:

1) Start this magic coin trick with a coin in the centre of your palm up hand.

2) Keep the coin secure in your palm by pressing the coin into the center of your palm with the fleshy part under your thumb.

3) Making it very obvious, pretend to throw the coin into your other hand and then close it as if it caught the coin.

4) As you do this remove your other hand that actually holds the coin.

All the attention of your audience is focused on the hand that caught the coin and of course when you open it, the coin is gone.

Now this is a very simple magic trick but the secret to learn how to do magic tricks fast is to break them down into their simple steps and then just practicing them so that you can execute them flawlessly.

The secret to almost every magic trick is to successfully divert your audience's attention while you subtly place your object into it's final position.

That is the art of illusion, the art of magic!
