In any company there is always a person who knows how to cheer up and cheer up. Often this is a good storyteller, anecdote lover, or a natural-born entertainer. You don’t have such talents, but would also like to be in the spotlight?

There is a solution: you can try to master the art of magic in order to amaze your friends with real miracles. And for this it is not at all necessary to dissolve in water or to cut yourself in two. Start with a small, but no less interesting performance - learn how to do magic tricks with coins. So, we reveal the secrets of the illusionists.

You will need:

Appearance inside the glass

You need to prepare well in advance, and you can only show the trick once a night. You will need: a transparent glass, a coin, glue and a handkerchief.

Glue a penny to the bottom. Show the audience an empty container, hold it from below, you can turn it over and shake it. Then pour water into it, demonstrating once again that there is nothing in the glass.

Throw a handkerchief on top and announce that a coin will now appear inside. Here it is appropriate to say some kind of gibberish or make magic passes with your hands. Remove the scarf and invite the audience to look into the container - the coin, as you promised, lies at the bottom.

The secret is optical illusion. When you look at the glass from the side, you get the impression that there is nothing in it, you can only see the object from above.

Invisible rise

Put a coin on the table and invite someone to take it without touching the table or the penny itself. Naturally, no one can do this.

The trick is that the hand must be kept 5 cm from the coin and blow on it with great force. Thus, the air is able to lift an object and throw it directly into the palm of your hand. We do not promise that the trick will work the first time, but after a few workouts, learn everything.

Rib stand

Ask the audience for a large coin. Then face them with your right hand outstretched, palm down. Place the disc between your fingers. Then carefully remove your left hand - the penny will remain on the edge and will not fall.

The point is in an ordinary pin. The moment you place the penny on the fingers of your right hand, slide the small pin head down with your left thumb, just behind it. The coin will stand straight on the edge, resting on a support invisible to the viewer.

Lemon

Prepare some fruits and place on a plate. Invite viewers to make sure they are looking at the most casual lemons. Ask which lemon to cut. Divide it with a knife into two parts - there will be a coin inside.

What's the catch? Everything is elementary - you need to glue a coin to the knife using a thin layer of plasticine (closer to the handle, where you will cover it with your hand). While pulling out the knife, clamp the blade with two lemon halves and you're done!

Brush

Place a coin in the palm of your hand. Take a regular brush in your other hand. Invite any viewer to peel a coin from your hand. And no matter how hard he tries, it won't work. As an intrigue, you can even promise a prize to the winner. But that won't happen.

What's the secret of focus? It's just that the fibers of the brush are elastic and always work in different directions - some move it up and others down. In this cunning way, the object always remains in the center of the palm.

Disappearing

Get a penny from your pocket and hold it in your fist. Then ask the person who wants to hold your hand and make sure that the coin does not disappear. He will not be able to do this, because as soon as you open your fist, there will be no coin in it.

How do you do such a trick? Get out of your pocket a lot of little things of different denominations. Pick one, tell them you don't need the others, and empty them back. Create the appearance of pinching a coin between the thumb and forefinger of your right hand. In fact, there is no trace of her, since she went into her pocket with the others.

All these are the simplest coin tricks that are easy to teach even to a child. If you have a more demanding viewer, and you do not intend to stop there, read on.

Sleight of hand

First of all, you need to work out several manual techniques to automatism:

Holding a coin in an open palm

Place 5 kopecks in the center of the brush and very slowly begin to cover it. If you choose the right place, the palm will begin to contract, firmly fixing the position of the coin. Now you can wave your hand as you like without fear that it will fall out.

Practice on both hands. In this case, you should show the audience only the outer or side part of the palm.

Hiding

There are several techniques for making the appearance of moving an object from one hand to another. We recommend that you study them all, since the same method will quickly arouse suspicion in an attentive counterpart.

1. Use your index and middle fingers to grasp the coin with your thumb. Then bend it, and pull the coin to your palm - it will fall exactly in the place that you identified in the previous exercise. Now you need to work with both hands. One hides a coin, while the other seems to take it. As a result, the empty palm is kept closed, and the hand with the coin must be opened and lowered freely.
2. Hold a coin between the index and ring fingers of your right hand. Moving it to the left, at the same time place your thumb on the coin, covering it with the upper knuckle. Bend your finger and hide the coin in this place, keeping it slightly bent. At the same time, make a movement with the other hand, as if the money is already in it.
3. Place a coin in the middle of your palm, and with the other hand make a realistic movement, as if you are taking it and hiding it in a fist. Lower your first hand, keeping it open - the penny is hiding in our secure hollow.
4. The coin lies on an open hand. Move the other so that your thumb goes under it, and the rest on top, and immediately close your palm. From the side it seems as if you took the object, but in fact you will drop it back, covering it with your fingers.
5. The penny is held by the index, middle and thumb, the inside of the palm is directed towards the magician. With the same fingers of your other hand, you seem to grab it, while allowing it to slide into a bent palm.
6. Ideal for large coin use. Hold it with your index, middle and thumb and at the moment when you put it on your other hand, move it to the middle phalanges with the tip of your thumb. The hand remains open, and the coin is held at the ends by the pressure of the index and little fingers.

All movements should be calm, soft and as believable as possible. The gaze should always be directed to the empty hand, this encourages the audience to also focus on it.

There are other ways, but for a start it is enough to master the described ones. Do not forget that these are just tricks, and not the actual tricks. Do not limit yourself to just hiding - you can surprise the audience with your dexterity a couple of times, but at the same time you will half reveal your secrets. We recommend that you accompany all actions with magic spells and waves of hands without fail, the presence of a "magic" wand, which often helps to hide the location of money and hide it in a secluded place, will not hurt.

Now it's time to learn some more advanced coin tricks.

Penetration through glass

Show an empty glass and close its open part tightly with your hand. Turn it upside down, tap it with a coin and push it inward - it will ring between the walls and the palm.

To do such a trick, you need two absolutely identical pennies. One is shown to the audience, and the other is hidden in an open palm. Cover the container with this hand, knock on the bottom with the first coin and, with the last movement, release the secret money inside, and quickly and imperceptibly hide the one that was knocked on.

Disappeared money

Place your left elbow on the table and start rubbing a coin into your forearm with your right hand. Let it fall on the table in a few seconds - this is how it is needed for focus.

Thanks to tricks with money, you are guaranteed success!

Today we will talk about how to master the art, how difficult it is and how to learn this skill with the help of video. Such tricks are a great opportunity to attract attention, causing a stir and ovation from the viewer.

But everyone hides a riddle, in his skillful hands miracles deftly and enchantingly occur. Admit it, everyone, at least once in their life, enthusiastically watched a man who skillfully demonstrated tricks with money in front of the public.

In childhood, everything seemed like magical magic, but today you and I will be able not only to look behind the scenes, but to gradually reveal with the help of videos and instructions all the secrets of a man in a mantle with disappearing banknotes in our hands.

Basic techniques of a professional magician

The magician's techniques include: sleight of hand, optical illusion, "magical" equipment, distracting maneuvers and constant psychological contact with the viewer - joke, grimace, create a natural image, all this will only help to divert the attention of the attentive viewer from your preparation for the trick.

First you need to master the basic movements, after which you can proceed to the techniques of secret steps.

Start with simple tricks

Important: When preparing a trick with bills, you need to monitor the position of your hands and train their dexterity. However, regular rehearsals in front of the mirror are undesirable. The thing is that, fixating on his movements, the magician misses the important thing - the reaction of the viewer.

It should be remembered that each one is made up of worked-out parts to perfection.

Let's take a look at several options for deft money maneuvering.

Focus "The Lost Coin"

We will need:

• Jar (1 liter) + lid
• Coin
• Assistant

You pour water into the jar, and then close it with a lid. Convince the assistant that everything is fair and that the coin is really real.

When he puts it on the table, put a prepared container of water on the coin and invite the assistant to examine the jar from all sides and wait for his answer (he will not find it). After you remove the can, the coin will be in place safe and sound.

The secret of focus- the reflection of light from the can, which will throw it back from the surface.

In details coin trick you can watch this video:

Focus "Chewed bill"

For the next trick, you'll need one large bill folded five times and a little savvy.
The bill should be defiantly put in your mouth and pretend that you chew it thoroughly, convincingly swallowing it.

After showing empty palms, suddenly cough, pulling out a whole and unharmed bill, folded into 5 parts.

The effect: the audience will think that you, having swallowed the bill, took it out of the belly.

Secret The focus is unusually simple - in the process of imitating the chewing of a bill, you unnoticeably from the audience put it under your tongue.

Important: During bending, you should deftly get out from under the belt another previously hidden bill

Focus "Coin out of thin air"

This classic money game is effortless, you only need one coin and sleight of hand.

Having shown the viewer an empty palm, the magician makes a sharp movement away from himself, pulling his hand back, after which a coin appears in his hands.

The Secret of the Coin Out of Air Focus revealed in this video:

For reference:

• With the help of sleight of hand, the coin should be, as indicated in the video, between the thumb and palm and hide there until you make a movement away from you.
• Then you should sharply clench your hand into a fist - the coin will appear between the middle and forefinger.
• "Pulling out" a coin - you unbend your fingers to show it to the viewer enchantingly.

The foundation- the way of regular training, ease, accuracy and confidence in movements. Once you've mastered this skill, you can easily get the audience excited, especially when the big bill is on the line.

Do not be afraid to experiment and learn, the main thing is to be patient and after a few carefully watched videos you will learn simple tricks and be able to surprise others with one wave of your hand.

In this article, we will learn how to do coin tricks. Learning these tricks depends on your patience. It is necessary to repeat these tricks until they become automatic. This is the most important thing in performing these tricks.

Trick with coin and glass

You will need: a glass, a coin, a handkerchief measuring 50 x 50 cm.

Show the audience a glass of water. Glue a coin to its bottom in advance. But it is not visible if you look at the glass from the side. Hold the glass in your hand, cover it with a handkerchief, then remove the handkerchief. Invite any spectator to look into the glass from above, and he will see that a coin has appeared in the glass.

The secret of focus.

The coin must be glued to the bottom of the glass in advance. It can be seen through its walls when the glass is empty. When it is filled with water, the coin cannot be seen through the water, if you look from the side of the glass. It is visible only from above.

Trick with a coin and a talking bottle

You will need: an empty 2 liter plastic bottle, a coin with a bottleneck diameter.

Place an empty plastic bottle in the freezer. After 5 minutes, remove it and close the bottle neck with a coin, having previously moistened the coin with water. The coin will bounce, crackle, as if the bottle is talking.

Fancy coin

You will need: a coin, a 30 x 30 cm handkerchief, an assistant.

Put a coin on the table, cover it with a handkerchief, invite the audience to come up and check that the coin should be under the handkerchief. When several spectators are convinced of this, take a handkerchief, put it from hand to hand, and show everyone that the coin has disappeared. Say that it is now in the pocket of one of the viewers. Approach him and take out a coin from his pocket.

The secret of focus.

The secret of this trick is simple: you need to have a partner-assistant. He should sit among the audience. When they do, to make sure the coin is under the handkerchief, he should come up last and take it with him discreetly.

Trick with a coin and a scarf.

You will need: a coin, a scarf 30-30 cm in size, an elastic band.

How to make a magic scarf.

To do this, sew two identical scarves together, inside, sew a coin into the center of them. Coin in a scarf

Ask the audience for a few coins and choose one from the handful. Take a handkerchief out of your pocket, spread it out and put a coin in its center. Flip the handkerchief over, the coin remains under it. From your pocket, take an elastic band - a ring, put it on a scarf, squeezing it, under a coin. Invite the viewer to put their palm up and, stretching the scarf at the corners, make the elastic come off the coin. But the viewer's palm will remain empty - the coin did not hit it. You need to pretend that you are taking it, for example, from a table or cabinet, where it seemed to be during the focus.

The secret of focus.

When, during a trick, you take a coin from the viewer and turn over the handkerchief, then his coin falls imperceptibly into your hand. A specially sewn coin remains in the scarf, and an elastic ring is put on it. You discreetly hold the spectator's coin in your fingers during the focus and then show it.

Before embarking on the coin tricks, the beginner should learn, through exercises, several hand techniques that demonstrate dexterity.

The sleight of hand and mindfulness acquired through these exercises, if he diligently put them into practice, are of immense importance. It is safe to say that a skilled card magician will easily study any branch of this magical art - the art of focus.

The first thing a beginner should learn is the ability to hide in the palm, that is, to imperceptibly hold an object in an open hand by contracting the palm.

To acquire this skill, take a five-kopeck coin and place it on your open hand (see Fig. 59).

Then close your hand very slowly, and if you put the coin in the right place (which you will soon find with your attempts), then it will be held by the contraction of your palm around the edges of the coin and you can
completely free to move your hand and arm, without fear of dropping it.

You must remember, in practice in this regard, that the inside of the palm should be facing either downward or towards your torso, as some careless movement may reveal the hidden coin.

When you are able to freely hold the coin in your right hand, do the same exercises with your left hand; after which you can replace the coin with a clock, an egg or a lemon, since all of these items are often used in magic tricks.

After you've thoroughly studied these first techniques, you can begin to explore different ways to hide a coin in your hand.

All methods have the same goal - to create the appearance of moving an object from one hand to another, although in reality the object remains in the hand, which it seemed to have just left.

Since the same movement with frequent repetition can cause suspicion in the audience, it is useful to have different ways of doing it. For the sake of clarity in their sequence, we will number the described methods.
Reception 1st. Take a coin in your right hand with the second, third and thumb (see Fig. 61) so that these fingers actually hold it, and the thumb only supports it. After that, release your thumb and bend the second and third fingers with the coin balancing on them to the palm (see Fig. 62).

If the coin has been properly placed on your fingers, you will see that with this movement you place it in the palm of your hand, exactly in the place that is mentioned above as the most convenient.

When you extend your fingers again, the coin stays in the palm of your hand, as in fig. 60.

If you have learned to do this easily with the hand at rest, then you should practice the ability to do the same while the right hand is in motion towards the left hand, which should be open until the fingers of the right hand are touch her palm, and it will seem that she is enclosing the coin, which you seem to have shifted into her with this movement.

After that, the left hand should remain closed, as if holding a coin, and the right hand should be lowered and open, as if it were empty.

If the object is larger than a coin, such as a watch or an egg, you should not take it with your fingers, but simply leave it on the palm of your right hand, slightly closing this hand while moving it towards your left.

The greater extent of the surface in this case will give you full opportunity to hold it without squeezing it in the palm of your hand. Remember only that, in any case, both hands should act as harmoniously as when you actually shift something from hand to hand.

Therefore, you should raise your left hand towards your right; but it should not start its movement earlier than the right one. Once this is done, skillful use of the wand can help to hide the fact that the item is still in your right hand.

For this purpose, the magician can put it down before starting to move the object under the armpit of one or the other hand, as if in order to free the hands.

Immediately after moving the object, the right hand should, making some movement backward, which in this case will seem quite natural, grab the wand, remove it from under the arm and then hold it until it becomes necessary to manipulate the coin.

The position of the fingers while holding the wand should be such as to hide the hidden coin, while the hand should appear completely free and natural. The same method can be applied with equal convenience to other techniques.

Reception 2nd. It is somewhat lighter than the 1st reception and can in some cases replace it. Grasp the edges of the coin with the index and ring fingers of your right hand, squeezing the edges of the coin with the side parts of your fingers and pulling it from behind with your second finger (see Fig. 63).
Bring your right hand toward your left and at the same time gently slide your thumb over the front of the coin until the top joint is over the outer edge of the coin (see Figure 64).

Then bend your thumb and the coin will be well hidden between this joint and the junction of the thumb and palm (see Figure 65).

In the same way as in the previous case, the left hand should close at the moment when the right one touches it, and the thumb of the right hand should remain slightly bent inward towards the palm so that the coin is not visible to the audience.

This is a very quick way to hide, and with skillful execution, a complete illusion occurs.

Reception 3rd. Hold your left hand palm up with a coin in the position shown in fig. 59. Move your right hand towards your left, make a movement with your fingers as if you are taking a coin, and immediately close your hand.

At the same time, slightly close your left hand so as to squeeze a coin with the palm of your hand, as in Fig. 67, and lower it so that it hangs freely along your body.

Reception 4th.(Turnstile). It is sometimes called the "French way". This is a very easy and at the same time very convenient way. Hold your left hand palm up with a coin as in fig. 66.

Move your right hand towards your left, moving your right thumb under the coin, and the rest of your fingers on it, and at the same moment close them.

Viewers will feel like you grabbed the coin with your thumb and other fingers, when in reality you are simply dropping it into the palm of your left hand while it is covered with the fingers of your right hand (see Figure 68).

Move your right hand back and forth after you take it away from your left hand, following it with your eyes, which will distract the audience's attention from the other hand.

Do not rush to lower your left hand, but slightly turn your palm towards you with slightly bent fingers, and, after a while, lower it down.

The cavity formed by the bent fingers is large enough to hold the coin. This method is also convenient for smaller coins, because they are difficult to hide quickly in ordinary ways. It is also very suitable for ball tricks.

Reception 5th.(Tweezers). This is a modification of the method just described. The coin is held as in fig. 69 with the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the left hand.

Then you make a movement, as if you are taking it with the same fingers of your other hand, which at the same time, as it were, grasps the coin, with its back facing the audience.

At this moment, when the coin is closed with the fingers of the right hand, it can gently slide into the palm of the left, and the right immediately rises, as if enclosing it.

Reception 6th. This method is adapted to the use of three or four coins, since the clinking of one coin against another contributes to the illusion. You take the coins in your right hand as shown in fig. 70, slightly bent.

Briskly bring your right hand to your left with your fingers forward so that the tips of the fingers of your right hand are almost at right angles to the palm of your left hand, and the fingers should be slightly bent.

The coins remain in the cavity formed by the fingers of the right hand, as in Fig. 71, instead of being thrown over to the left hand (as it seems to the eyes and ears of the audience).

They flip over completely, making a loud clink when the arms come together.

The left hand, of course, is closed, and the thumb of the right hand can gently press the coins so that when the hand is lowered along your torso, they do not make noise and thus do not betray their presence in it.

Reception 7th. This method works best with a large coin such as a metallic ruble. But if the student has a small hand (a very important drawback for tricks in general), he can apply this method to another coin.

Take a coin in your right hand with your index, middle and thumb, and while you seem to move it to your left hand, gently bring it with the tip of your thumb to the position shown in Fig. 72.

Moreover, it is held by the pressure of the first and fourth fingers on its opposite edges, while the hand remains completely open.

Reception 8th. The peculiarity of this technique lies in the fact that during the performance, the rod is held in the hand - a case to which all other techniques are inapplicable.

Holding a rod and a coin in his right hand, as shown in fig. 73, you press the edge of the coin firmly against the palm of your left hand and instantly squeeze that hand.
As a result of this movement, the coin (pressed only slightly) is pushed back to the position shown in fig. 74, and in this position, being behind the index, middle and ring fingers, remains completely covered.

Without wasting time, you remove the fingers of your left hand from their previous position and gradually squeeze them, grabbing the coin, since their extended extended position may seem suspicious.

But, in doing this, one should be careful that the coin does not clink on the rod, for this sound, of course, will attract the attention of others.

It should not be assumed that all of the above techniques are used by every magician. Almost every one of them has a favorite trick or tricks.

The beginner should be convinced by experience which method best suits the arrangement of his hand. We have described these techniques as if they were constantly being performed with the same hand.

But if you want to achieve perfection, then you must practice until you learn how to do them both from the left hand to the right, and from the right to the left.

It is advisable to exercise in front of a mirror, performing in front of it, firstly, everything that you subsequently intend to perform in front of others, and carefully monitor the position and movement of your hands.

You must learn to act in such a way that the audience does not have any suspicions. You have to get used to keeping your eyes constantly on the hand in which, as everyone thinks, the object is.

It is the best way to keep the eyes and attention of the viewers in the same direction. Once you get into the habit of carefully performing these techniques with one coin, you can start practicing with smaller coins, two, and then three or four at a time.

There is one caveat to be made here. These techniques should by no means be considered tricks themselves, but only means for performing tricks.

If the magician, as it were, transfers a coin, for example, from his right hand to his left, shows that it has disappeared from the left hand, thus forcing the audience to guess that it remained in his right hand, then they, of course, will be surprised at the dexterity with which he averted their eyes for a moment.

But by doing so, they will half penetrate into the secret of those tricks in which the coin is hidden in the palm.

If it is necessary to directly reproduce a coin, then the magician must do this, as if finding it in the hair or in the sideburns of some spectator, or in another convenient place for him, while it is necessary to first announce where it will be found, distracting, thus , from myself the general attention.

When the coin is already in his hand, all he has to do is place it on the tips of the fingers of the same hand, when he touches it to the named place, as if taking it out of there.

After these instructions concerning the hand in which the coin is actually held, a few words should be said about the hand in which there is no coin.

Wherever you place an object, whether in a clenched hand or in an apparatus from which it will subsequently have to disappear, you should take it as a rule not to show that the object disappeared from there without some preliminary magical action, even a small one, which may seem a plausible excuse to such a disappearance.

The most insignificant action is enough - touching with a rod, pronouncing a magic formula like the word "pass", pressing with a finger; but in one form or another, this ceremony should never be overlooked.

So, taking the simplest example, we assume that by means of Technique 1, you put a coin in your left hand, actually leaving it hidden in the palm of your right hand.

If you just open your left hand and show that the coin is not there, then the audience, of course, will guess the truth, that is, that you did not put coins there at all.

But if you hesitate one or two minutes before you open your hand so that the audience gets used to counting the coin in it, and then, before opening it, mysteriously touch the hand with your wand, or simply, slowly opening your hand, touch wrist with the second and third fingers of the hand holding the coin (see Fig. 75), then, thereby, not only give the hand something incompatible with hiding something in it, but convince the audience that this gesture is the reason for the disappearance of the coin ...

It is surprising what effect such deception has on the judgment of viewers. And although they know very well that touching the clenched hand of the wand or the finger of the other hand cannot make the coin disappear, since there is no doubt that the coin has disappeared, their mind involuntarily accepts the explanation that you propose.

Before the hand is unclenched, the hand that holds the object has already somehow freed itself from it. In this case, the viewer is already deprived of the opportunity to assume that you are holding the object in the hand in which you originally showed it, because this hand turns out to be empty.

And since the complete disappearance of the coin remains an obvious fact, then you can leave the viewer himself to explain this fact as he pleases.

The various techniques described above serve not only to make an object disappear, but also to secretly replace it with another similar one.

This exchange is constantly used in magic; we can even say that three-quarters of her miracles are based on it. When the substitution is made, the dummy object remains in sight of the audience, and the magician, having secretly obtained the real object in his possession, disposes of it, as the focus requires. We will now describe the various methods of substitution, denoting them also with numbers.

Substitution 1st. Let's say you want to swap a coin marked by the audience for something else.

You hide the last one, which we will call “fake,” “substituted,” in the palm of your left hand, trying to keep this hand facing away from the audience.

By taking the marked coin in your right hand, you hide it in the palm of your hand through Move 1, but instead of pinching your left hand when the fingers of your right touch it, you leave the first one at ease open and reveal the dummy coin lying on it, which is accepted by the public as the real one. just put there with your right hand.

Substitution of the 2nd. It differs only in that you make the 2nd reception with your right hand instead of the 1st one.

Substitution of the 3rd. And here you resort to trick 2, but instead of your right hand, you hide a dummy coin in your left. Taking the marked coin with the same hand, you do the 2nd technique with it, simultaneously lowering the dummy coin from her palm into your left hand.

This is a very elegant and effective substitution. Some magicians are skillful enough to make this substitution by taking the 1st instead of the 2nd, so that the real coin takes the place of the counterfeit in the palm of the hand; but for this purpose more than ordinary dexterity is needed.

Substitution of the 4th. For this substitution, you must hold the dummy coin in the palm of your right hand, and the marked coin between the thumb and second fingers of your left hand.

Then, through the reception of the 4th, you take the coin with your right hand and at the same moment you find the dummy, which was already there.

Substitution of the 5th. Hide the dummy coin in the palm of your right hand, and keep the marked coin open in the palm of your left hand.

Surprise for real !!! Props for every taste in the largest Magic Shop.

Take the latter with your right hand, at the same time dropping the dummy into your left hand, with the fingers of your left hand being slightly bent in order to more conveniently hide the falling coin.

Show the marked coin in your right hand and say, “You saw that I openly took this coin. I will make her return to her original place invisibly. "

Clamp your left hand, make the 1st or 2nd reception with your right hand, moving it to the left, but without bringing your hands together. The marked coin will be hidden in the palm of your right hand.

Immediately then unclench your left hand and display a dummy coin that the audience will consider to be real.

There are many other substitutions; there are even too many of them to describe them all in this book. If you are skilled at hiding coins in the palm of your hand and in performing various techniques, then you yourself can invent methods of substitution.

The magician puts the thumb of his left hand vertically upwards and puts a coin on its tip, with his right hand he begins to make clicks around the coin. after one of them the coin disappears ...

Trick Secret: If you touch a coin while clicking with your middle finger, it will fly into the sleeve of your right hand. After a short workout, focus will be achieved 100% of the time. It is advisable to show 1-2 spectators, who should be exactly opposite the magician - then they will not be able to see how the coin disappears.

Disappearing side coin

Maybe many people know how this trick is performed, but still. So, borrow a coin from someone. Place it at the base of your thumb. Then tell the audience that you can make the other side of the coin disappear and leave only one. The audience is at a loss! And you calmly proceed: ask viewers who have already come to their senses which side of the coin you should make to disappear.

Trick Secret: Let's say that you were asked to leave the "heads" and make the "tails" disappear. Then place the coin as described above with the "heads" up. Now quickly bend your thumb at the base into the palm of your hand. As a result, the coin will slide off the base and remain in the air for a moment. It is at this moment that you turn your hand, palm down. At this time, the coin is still in flight over your hand. Move your other hand under the coin to catch the coin later. The coin is now (still in the air) between your hands! And "Slap" it between your palms. It will seem to the audience that the coin turned over with your palm, but in reality only your palm turned over, and the coin remained "eagle". Show the audience a coin. Then they will be stunned.

Coin with two identical sides ?! Only YOU are capable of this !!!

Sticky coin

The magician asks absolutely any spectator for a coin, accepts it and puts it in his palm. Then he turns his hand over and ... a miracle happens: the coin stuck to his palm!

The secret of focus: First you wet your hands, then the viewer gives you a coin and you press the coin on your wet hand. There is a vacuum, you flip your hand, and the coin remains on your hand!

The magic secret is to make money out of water

Converting coffee into coins

David Blaine turned a cup of coffee into a cup full of coins in his television show. It turns out that repeating this is very easy!

Trick Secret: You will need a cardboard coffee cup, preferably one with a picture. Carefully, using a modeling knife or scissors, cut off the bottom of the cup. Insert the upper part into the lower one with a slight twisting motion. Fill the glass three-quarters of the way with coins.

Tamp the coins (you need to shake them a little in the glass) and pour in some cold coffee so that it covers the coins. Coffee works best because it is dark enough to hide coins. Now we have a regular cup of coffee that can be shown to the audience.

Holding the top of the cup, slide the bottom out slightly. Then shake. The coffee will spill down and the coins will emerge. This trick can be done with any cardboard cup from a vending machine. Don't use hot coffee!

And the whole coin!

Trick Secret: Take two plugs and poke five holes in them this way: four holes around and a fifth in the middle.

Take five spokes and one coin (the coin should be five or ten kopecks). Place a coin in one cork and cover with the other. Begin to pierce the needles in a circle. When you poke the last needle in a circle, the coin becomes an edge. And the middle can be easily pierced. When you pull out the knitting needles and the top plug, the coin will be hole free.

Coin tricks can be shown anywhere. This trick can be shown to a circle of friends or to a very small audience.

You take a fifteen-kopeck coin from your pocket and place it on the back of the outstretched fingers of your right hand. The viewers' attention naturally focuses on this coin - they are interested to know what will happen to it. And now, in front of the audience, the coin crawled down the hand, as if it were a living creature.

When the coin approached the edge of the thumb, substitute your left hand to this hand, holding it in the same position, and the coin obediently moves to your left hand, continuing its movement. The audience is at a loss - how could you get the coin to move along the hand?

The secret and the props of this trick are remarkably simple. The props consists of a fifteen-kopeck coin and a nylon thread 25-30 cm long (the thread can be pulled out of a nylon stocking that has become unusable).

The nylon thread is extremely thin and completely invisible on the human body. You are using this quality of nylon thread.

The secret of focus lies in this thread. You attach one end of the thread to the left side of the lapel of your jacket, just below the middle.

Then you take a tiny piece of plasticine and roll a tiny ball out of it. This ball is attached to the second, free end of the nylon thread. The end of the thread with the ball should be at the level of the buttonhole of the jacket, where the lapel ends.

Now you can start demonstrating focus. With your right hand you take a coin out of your pocket, and with your left hand you find the ball at the end of the thread. The moment you are about to put a coin on your hand, quickly and carefully stick this ball to the coin. Then place the coin on the back of the outstretched fingers of your right hand so that the ball is below the coin.

Thus, the coin is attached to a thread invisible to the viewer.

Placing a coin on your hand, you carefully begin to move that hand forward, and the coin attached to the string remains in place. This gives the viewer the impression that the coin is moving. As soon as the coin is on the edge of your thumb, place the edges of the fingers of your left hand to your right hand, carefully transferring the moving coin to it. Alternately transfer the coin to one or the other hand.

While the coin is moving along one hand, you hold the other over it, pretending that this hand has a magical effect. In reality, the function of the free hand is to cover from the audience the thread that might be seen against the background of the jacket.

To prevent the audience from suspecting that the coin is secret, you can repeat this trick by taking the coin from one of the viewers. After demonstrating the focus, you will give it to the audience for inspection, imperceptibly peeling off the coin from the plasticine with a thread.

Five plus five is not always ten

Tell the audience a few words about the accuracy of arithmetic and add that it began to suffer from errors in illusionism. Ask viewers:

- What is five plus five?
They will answer:
- Ten.

- Okay, tell the audience, now we'll check it out. Take 10 coins and a tobacco pouch from the table. Send all this for inspection. Ask two viewers to help you. Give one 10 coins and the other a pouch. Taking a small tray from the table, ask to put five coins on it, counting one at a time. The viewer lays down and counts out loud. Ask another viewer to open the pouch. Ask:

- How many coins are on the tray?
- Five.

Pour them into a pouch:

- Okay, five.
Ask to tighten the pouch and hold it by the laces.
- How many coins are in the pouch? Five? Fine! Put the remaining five coins on my tray. Count it. The viewer counts the coins out loud and puts them down. Offer to open the pouch and pour the remaining five coins from the tray into it. The pouches are closing.

- You put in five, then five more coins. Five plus five. How much will?
- Ten.
- Ten? Let's check it out now.
Holding the tray with both hands, ask the viewer to take out one coin at a time from the pouch and, counting out loud, place them on the tray. The viewer counts, but the coins are not 10, but 18.

- You see what focal arithmetic is. It turns out that five plus five is not ten, but eighteen.

The secret of the trick is in the tray, which has a double bottom and is painted with oil paints: the pattern is chosen so as to well mask the holes for the exit of coins.

Between the real and the fake bottom there are soldered sides with a height slightly larger than the thickness of the coin and a little wider than it, so that coins can easily enter and move along this path. On each side of the tray there are holes through which coins are "charged" into the tray. When demonstrating, the tray should be held by the short sides to prevent the audience from discovering the holes.

It is necessary to pour coins from the tray with a sharp movement so that the coins from the entrance spill out into the pouch simultaneously with the coins on the tray.

Glass goblet with lid

This device consists of a rather large glass goblet and a painted tin lid, the shape of which is similar to the lid of a coffee pot, but it is large enough to hold two coins in a standing position.

They are laid side by side in a flat tube wide enough to accommodate them, attached in a slightly tilted position to the top of the lid and split into two by a tin divider.

A fixed metal ring is attached to the lower end of the tube, which closes with a spring, and moves back if you press the button on the lid.

If you press it lightly, then only one coin is released, and if you press it harder, then the second coin will fall out. The mechanism of the lid is hidden by a flat bottom made of tin, with an oblong hole just wide enough to allow coins to pass through.

You take care not to show the goblet and lid until you have got hold of the two coins you borrowed for focus. As you go for the goblet and lid, you prepare the last one by investing the borrowed coins.

You do this by holding the lid upside down, pressing the button and pushing the movable ring: the coins fall inward. When you stop pressing the button, the movable ring returns to its normal position.

Then you expose the goblet and lid and place them on the table. Holding the goblet upside down to show that it is empty, you close it with a lid, as if in order to prevent you from secretly throwing something in there, and, for even greater security, you throw a handkerchief over it all. ...

Now you announce that, despite all the hardships that you have experienced, you will pass both coins through the handkerchief and through the metal lid in the goblet.

Taking in your right hand one of the replacement coins, which remained in plain sight and which the audience took for real, you pretend to transfer it with the first technique into your left hand, and, gently pressing the button with the aforementioned hand, force one of the coins fall off the lid while opening your hand to show that the coin has disappeared from it.

Viewers hear but do not see the fall of the coin. For the second coin, it is better to introduce an element of variety, and therefore you can propose to abandon the headscarf so that everyone can see what is happening with the coin.

For further variety, you can use your wand as a guide. By taking a replacement coin in your left hand, you pretend that you are transferring it in the fourth move to your right hand.

Then, taking the wand in your left hand, you hold it perpendicularly, so that its lower end rests on the button of the lid. Holding it between the thumb and second fingers of your right hand, you quickly slide them down, pressing at the same time with the wand on the button, then the second coin will fall into the goblet, which will be heard.

By removing the lid and leaving it on the table, you show the goblet and allow the audience to take coins from it and make sure.

It is very good to have a second cover, exactly the same in appearance, but simple, without any mechanism. Then you can let both the goblet and the lid be examined before focusing.

Returning to your table and turning your back to the audience, you have the full opportunity to replace a simple mechanical lid by dropping the first one into one of your hidden pockets.
