A Trick With Class That Will Amaze Everyone, Disappearing Coin

Everyone will have heard mention of the vanishing coin trick at some stage.Here is a very simple and effective version that anyone can perform well with just a little practice.A secret person is need to achieve this version of the trick.

For the trick to begin:

There are a few things needed for this; an assistant, two identical coins, a shirt with a pocket in the front and a handkerchief.To begin you will have already placed one of the coins in your pocket or you can have your secret partner put the coin in their pocket.You can pretend you are pulling a random coin from your pocket and then hold it out in your hand for your audience to see.Take the handkerchief and cover your hand and the coin.To do it with flair you will need to practice it.That is when you proclaim, “An assistant please.Will you slide your hand under the handkerchief to verify the coin is still in my hand?”You can point to someone in the audience other than your secret partner.Whether you choose someone else first before you choose your partner to feel for the coin it will not matter.

The grand finale:

When you ask your secret friend to confirm you are holding the coin under the handkerchief they will steal the coin from under the handkerchief and hide it from the audience pretending that they actually felt it.Discretion is needed while taking the coin so that no one suspects your secret friend of lying and actually having the coin.

The coin has now magically disappeared and you can ramble off some magical phrases pulling the handkerchief away to reveal nothing.You can proclaim, “Wait a minute, where is the coin?”Now pretend to look for the coin or dip into your pocket for it.Then ask everyone else to check their pockets for the coin.Your secret partner will pull the coin out of their pocket and the coin is back.Or, you might just reach into your secret partner’s pocket and pull the coin out saying, “Look, it jumped into your pocket!”

Version two of the disappearing coins trick:

This edition of the trick requires some preparation prior to it’s commencement.Take a coin and glue it somewhere near the bottom of the back side of a playing card.Pretend you are balancing the coin on the card even though you are not.Put your other hand a little underneath the card so it looks like you are planning to catch the coin when it falls off the card.

Quickly turn the card over onto your other hand and then pretend you have transferred the coin from the card into your hand.Make it look like the coin is in your possession and carefully put the card with the coin stuck to it in your pocket without anyone seeing the coin.

You now supposedly have the coin in your hand so you can say some magic words and wave your other hand over it opening it to reveal the coin is gone.There is no coin in your hand it looks like it has gone.
