Magic Tricks

The vanishing coin

Effect- The wizard displays an ordinary coin and allows the audience to examine it. The wizard places the coin between the four fingers and thumb with the palm of the hand facing upward. The wizard then takes the coin away in the opposite  hand by covering it with the hand and making a fist.  Holding the fist at eye level the wizard then blows on the fist and magicaly the coin has vanished. The wizard then reaches behind a spectators ear and produces the vanished quarter,

Secret- The wizard only pretends to take the coin away in the opposite hand but secretly drops it into the hand that was holding the coin between the four fingers and the thumb. When this is done the wizard simply drops the hand to the side with the fingers slightly curled, while the hand is slightly open this will give the illusion that the hand is empty.  The wizard then reaches behind the spectators ear and produces the vanished coin.

Tip: Never look at the hand concealing the coin, always look at the empty hand,the spectators eyes will always follow what you look at. Practice in front of a mirror until you can perform it smoothly then practice again. and again.  Find a trusted family member to practice on that way you can keep performing until you can do it perfect.  In magic the secret is easy its all in the presentation
