Simple Magic Coin Tricks

View:

You'll need two coins to perform your first magic coin trick. A nickel and a penny are the best to use.

You'll need a volunteer for this trick. Press a coin into the hand of someone in your audience. They need to hold the coin with their palm flat and facing upwards.

Now you'll tell everyone that you'll be able to grab the coin before the volunteer can close their hand. You'll position your hand just over the coin in your volunteer's hand, with your fingers slightly spread.

Using your thumb and first three fingers, you will very quickly try to take the coin.

Your volunteer is going to think they can be a lot faster than you. They'll be further encouraged when they still feel this circular, flat object in the palm of their hand. But, it turns out to be another 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.

Here's what you do: Place a coin in your friend's hand and then place the other coin on your palm, just at the crease between your forefinger and thumb. You'll hold your hand so it looks as though you are about to grab the other's coin.

Just as you are about to snatch that coin away, tell your friend to slowly close their fingers since you're still learning how to do this trick. Then you'll pick up the coin and very quickly swap it with the other coin you've been holding, just in the same exact place.

Now tell your friend to close up their hand. As you keep practicing, you'll get better and faster at it. Your friend will then be able to close their hand as fast as they possibly can.

Once you're comfortable and good at the trick, it's time to perform it for an audience. Remember, don't halt the trick by showing the coin you took from the volunteer. Let them discover the different coin in their hand when they open up their fist.

Magic coin tricks like this are popular with kids.

Simple Magic Coin Tricks

Coin Trick 1: Money Making Magic

Your hands are empty and there are three coins on the table. You sweep the coins off the edge of the table and into your hand. When you open your hand, there are five coins instead of three.

The Secret: Before you begin, stick two coins to the underside of the table at the edge where you plan to do the trick. When you sweep the coins off the table with your right hand, detach the other two coins with your left hand. When you open your left hand, the three coins will have magically increased to five.

Coin Trick 2: The Teleporting Coin

A coin mysteriously travels from one hand to the other. Start with your palms face up on the table and a coin in the palm of each hand. Flip both hands over and when you remove one hand there's nothing under it. When you remove your other hand, both coins are safely hidden under it.

The Secret: Place one coin in the palm of your left hand and another coin at the base of your fingers towards the right hand side of your right hand. Due to the positioning of the coins, when you flip your hands over the left coin will end up under your left hand, while the right coin will be pushed towards your left hand.

The trick should work automatically. If you flip your hands using enough speed, your audience won't be able to see what happens.

Practice flipping your hands until you can get the trick right every time. The hand that fires the coin across should flip slightly before your other hand. It's also important to make sure that the coins don't collide and make a noise, which will reveal the secret of this trick.

Coin Trick 3: Mind Reading Money

When you leave the room or turn your back, someone from the audience hides a coin under a cup that's placed in the center of the table. When you return to the room, you can guess the type of coin that has been hidden.

The Secret: Once a member of the audience has placed a coin in the middle of the table, your secret assistant places the cup over the coin. They use the handle of the cup to secretly inform you the value of the coin under it.

All you have to do is agree on a secret code. Each different handle position relates to a different value of coin. Just make sure that both of you are perfectly clear on the secret code that you're using and can remember it without having to think about it.

The other advantage of this trick is that you can perform it anywhere in the world regardless of the currency.
