Some people believe that magic tricks are real magic. However, such miracles only happen in fairy tales and science fiction films. In real life, all the tricks performed by a person appear thanks to his intelligence, ingenuity, constant training and sleight of hand.
The coin trick is most popular among fans of home arts. It can be learned not only by masters of “miracles,” but also by ordinary amateurs. It is enough to unravel the secret of such tricks, rehearse them - and you can surprise your friends with your abilities.
How to perform tricks
Even if the spectator does not believe in magic, the magician must convince him that miracles exist. Before we talk about how to learn magic tricks with a coin, paper, scarf and other props, we will tell you a few rules.
- A magician must always be confident in himself.
- You should start with the basics, learn simple tricks and gradually move on to more complex ones.
- The audience needs to be involved. To enhance the effect, you can use the help of a friend.
- You need to prepare distracting details in advance. This could be a classic “magic” box.
- The magician must remember that the viewer wants to experience a feeling of delight and surprise.
- A good artist never reveals the secret of his tricks.
Money inside a glass
Before using a coin and a glass, you need to prepare glue, a transparent glass, a coin and a small scarf (50 x 50 cm).
The coin should be glued to the bottom of the glass and water should be poured into it.
Focus. Show the audience that you have a glass filled to the top with water. Prove that it does not contain unnecessary items by showing it from different angles. Say that in a few minutes a coin will appear in the container. With these words, cover the container with a scarf, say the “magic” words and invite one of the spectators to look inside. Let a person look at the glass from above, and he will see that a metal banknote has appeared at the bottom. If the viewer is amazed, the trick was a success.
Secret. The trick with a coin and a glass is one of the simplest tricks of visual deception. Guests need to show a vessel filled with water only from the side. In this case, the person does not see what is at his bottom. The banknote is clearly visible when the glass is empty. When it is filled with water, the coin in it is visible only from above.
Surprise inside a lemon
The magician must prepare several lemons, a knife and a small coin.
Focus. Lemons are on a plate. The artist proves that these are ordinary fruits. He asks the viewer to choose any lemon, after which he takes a knife, cuts the indicated fruit and discovers a metal currency note inside it.
Secret. The trick with the coin and lemons has one little trick. It consists of a knife, to the blade of which a banknote is glued in advance using a thin layer of plasticine (closer to the handle). While slicing a lemon, the performer pushes the coin off the knife with his thumb. The magician firmly grips the blade with the halves of the fruit, trying to pull the knife out. This way the coin ends up inside the lemon.
Disappearing money
The coin behind the ear trick is a classic trick. Its implementation does not require additional distracting details.
Focus. The performer tells the audience that he can make money disappear. With these words, he takes out a coin, shows it to the audience, and then begins to rub it on his right elbow. Two times he fails, and on the third time the banknote disappears without a trace, after which the magician takes it out from behind his ear.
Secret. A trick with a coin that disappears and then appears in an unusual place is a method of visual deception.
The artist must take the coin in his right hand and, in front of the audience, transfer it to his left. The elbow of your right hand must be placed on the table and your chin resting in your palm.
The performer begins to rub the coin on his right elbow, but suddenly (intentionally) drops it. He picks up the money with his right hand, puts it in his left and starts rubbing again. And again the coin falls on the table.
The magician once again lifts it with his right hand and pretends to transfer it to his left. But the coin remains in the right palm. Next, the artist rubs the imaginary banknote on his right elbow. After a few seconds, he demonstrates that the coin has disappeared from his left hand. And then he quickly pulls it out from behind his ear with his right hand.
Coin tricks are a great starting point for the beginning magician. In this article, you will learn four easy-to-perform tricks that, with some practice, can liven up any boring moment. Just don’t reveal your secrets under any circumstances; let your friends guess where you acquired these “magical” abilities.
Steps
Coin teleportation trick
- The success of a magic trick depends entirely on the confidence of the magician and his ability to distract attention. The more you try to “warm up” the audience, the less they will follow your hands and the manipulations you perform. If you put a little more emphasis on the production of your show, the audience will be too busy being skeptical of you.
-
Make a fist with your hand, but leave it tiny the gap between the index and middle fingers. Look at the video for this step, do you see a small gap between the magician’s fingers? This is ideal.
- In the future, the coin will have to jump out of this hand without its disclosure. It's easy to mess things up here, so at the very beginning, try to make sure that the coin is positioned correctly in your fist so that it can freely pass through this gap.
-
Bring the hand with the coin over your other hand, dropping the coin into it without opening your fist. It should look as if you were simply shaking the coin in your fist over your other hand. The spectators should not notice how the coin falls into the second hand. Once the coin is in your other hand, make a fist as well.
- When dropping a coin, widen the gap between the fingers in your fist slightly so that the coin can move more easily to the other hand, otherwise it may get stuck in the original hand.
-
Ask a volunteer to say which hand the coin is in. You just hope that this person chooses the original hand, since you never opened it to move the coin to another hand.
- If the volunteer chooses a new hand, ask him to explain which other possible In a way, if not by amazing telekinesis, you could move a coin from one hand to the other.
-
Slowly open both arms: an empty original one and a second one with a coin. If you clearly didn't move your fingers when you dropped the coin from your fist and managed to catch it in time with your other hand, your friends will be delighted! Will you now be able to move the table from one place to another?!
- If you find it difficult to master this trick, try using a smaller coin. It will be easier to drop it through the gap between your fingers.
Trick with coin disappearing in elbow
-
Announce the trick to the audience. Tell them that you can make a five-ruble coin change color if you rub it hard enough on your elbow. This is not the point of the trick, but the audience is not supposed to know that. Such an explanation should only distract attention from the main trick so that the audience does not have unnecessary suspicion about your actions.
- Or you can immediately tell the public that you are going to make the coin disappear. This is also acceptable, but the audience will try to catch even the slightest movements of your hand.
-
Take the five-ruble coin in your dominant hand. Place your other hand with your elbow on the table and support your head with it. Instead of changing color, the coin will mysteriously “disappear.” To do this, you will rub the coin on your elbow standing on the table.
- Please note that in order to further perform the trick, the second hand should support your chin not with an open palm, but with a fist.
-
Start rubbing the coin on your forearm, holding it with your hidden hand. After a couple of movements, “accidentally” drop the coin on the table in front of you. Express your own clumsiness. Here, to distract the audience's attention from your hands, you can mention that you should practice more as the coins are very slippery.
-
Pick up the five-ruble coin with the hand that supported your chin. Nevertheless the audience shouldn't notice this. This can be done in one of two ways, which are listed below.
- Pretend to take the coin back into your dominant hand to return to the friction. Just make a very quick fake move with a substitution.
- Pick up five rubles with your dominant hand, but drop it in your other hand under the table. Success lies more in the timing of actions than in trying to hide the coin, as in the above technique.
-
Continue rubbing the coin on your elbow (despite its actual absence). This time you will not have a coin in your hand. Rub your elbow for a few seconds and then let the audience know that something strange is happening. Five rubles do not change their color... five rubles... disappear! You can then reveal your empty hand to the public.
- If people want to test your other hand, you can discreetly drop the coin down your collar before opening your empty palm.
-
Make the coin appear again. The trick can be completed with the previous step, or you can magically make the coin return. There are a number of ways to do this, ranging from scratching the head with your non-dominant hand, acting out a situation where a coin appears from under your hair, “taking” a nickel out of someone’s clothing, and ending with simply “coughing up” the coin. Use the illusion you like best.
- If you want to present everything more skillfully, wait until people forget about this trick. Then make the coin mysteriously appear: "Oh, that's where she's gone. Hm. Who would have thought?! How amazing!”
Psychological trick with a coin
Find a coin with different surface relief on both sides. For example, a coin with a face value of five rubles could be a good option. If you're not sure whether the coins at your disposal are suitable for your trick, sit down and study them. You may notice a thicker edge or more raised relief on one side of a coin. Make sure you can identify the side of the chosen coin with your eyes closed.
- You can also put a scratch on one side of the coin, but if anyone notices this, the audience may become suspicious and reveal the secret of your trick. Therefore, it is better to use a coin without obvious damage.
-
Practice flipping a coin and guessing which side it will land on. Now you know both sides of the coin by touch and can predict which side the coin will face when you open it on the wrist of your other hand. The secret lies in the ability to catch a coin and feel it unnoticed. Only make your “predictions” after the coin has already passed through your fingertips.
- Spend some time practicing flipping a coin, identifying its side, and flipping it in one smooth motion that feels completely natural. The moment you judge the position of the coin should not be visible to the unsuspecting public.
-
Call a friend and try to take turns guessing which side the coin will face. Let your friend flip the coin himself a few times so that he can see that there is nothing special and no secret hidden in it. Then ask a friend to guess which side of the coin will be when You you'll throw it in. Toss the coin and catch it, but don't rush to put it on your wrist. Do this more slowly than usual, and as you do this, feel the future underside of the coin (which can only be done with your thumb, comfortably facing upward, as you catch the coin with your open palm).
- If you are able to manipulate the coin, it can be placed on the side you want. In this case, you can make your own prediction either immediately before opening the coin, or five minutes or ten seconds before, and you will always be right.
-
If necessary, skillfully manipulate the coin in your hand. Before placing the coin on your wrist, rotate it as needed so that the side you declared is on top. Your movements must be agile; Remember that perfection comes from practice. Once you've flipped the coin (or figured out that you don't have to do anything), you'll be sure which side it'll land on, so you can put it away with peace of mind. That's the whole secret.
- The beauty of this trick is that it can be repeated an infinite number of times, unlike many other tricks that require special secrecy.
- However, you won't be able to perform this trick if someone else is tossing the coin. Tell the audience that to perform this trick you need a special connection with the coin and direct physical contact with it.
Trick with a coin disappearing in a napkin
Take a napkin, a ruble coin and a piece of double-sided tape. Secretly place double-sided tape in one corner of the napkin. Check that the coin can stick to it securely.
- The napkin can be fabric or paper, or you can use a paper towel. It is not necessary to use a coin with a denomination of one ruble, but it has the most suitable average size.
- It is better to use a small piece of tape (it will be less noticeable if you have not yet achieved perfect sleight of hand), however, this increases the risk that the coin will not stick to the tape during the trick.
-
Take a napkin and show it to the audience. Keep the tape hidden from prying eyes on the side of the napkin facing you. All the public needs to know is that it is a regular paper napkin (or whatever you use instead).
- Be careful where you place your finger on top of the tape, as you don't want to damage its adhesive properties with finger oils before you perform the trick.
-
Place the ruble in the center of the napkin facing up side with tape. Display items to the public. It's just a regular ruble in a paper napkin, right? That's right. Just make sure that your hand does not allow the audience to notice the tape.
- The softer the napkin, the better. In this case, when demonstrating its middle, the edges will sag on their own and fall out of sight.
First, tell the audience that you are going to magically move a coin from one hand to the other. Let them doubt it for a second. But be convincing and explain that you have been studying the forgotten art of telekinesis for some time. The more the audience doubts, the funnier the effect of performing the trick will be.
In this article you will be taught tricks with a coin. Learning directly depends on your patience. You need to practice until everything becomes automatic. This is the most important rule for performing these tricks, and tricks in general.
