Although there are a few steps to this magic trick, it's not at all
complicated and is very entertaining for the audience. Two small
coins in your local currency will be perfect for the trick.
- Obtain two small coins and a stick of glue. Apply some glue to
one side of one coin. Also place some glue to the palm of your left
hand.
- Glue the coin with glue on one side on your left hand pinky
(little finger). Hold the other coin in between your thumb and
pointer finger. Keep the rest of your fingers closed.
- Ask for a volunteer from your audience. Tell the volunteer to
put his or her right hand out, palm facing upwards.
- Put your right hand out over your volunteer's hand. Put the
clean coin (unglued) on top of your hand, while at the same time
take the glued coin from your pinky finger and move it under your
hand on your palm, and make sure it isn't touching your volunteer's
palm.
- Keeping the glued coin on your right hand palm and the clean
coin on top of your hand, say something like "I will now make this
coin go through my hand."
- Hit the clean coin with your left hand palm (which is glued)
and the coin will stick. Then pull your left hand away and close
it.
- Wait for the glued coin to fall. The glued coin stuck on your
palm should fall off your hand into your volunteer's hand.
- Use glue because anything else like tape or liquid glue is
visible to your spectators and to your volunteer.
- Make sure the two coins you get have the same dates, just to
make it look more realistic.
- This trick should be practiced a lot to get the feel for how
much glue and how much pressure you need to apply. Try it out on
friends and family first.
Warnings
[edit]
- This trick works best for kids.
- Make sure the volunteer doesn't examine the coin too closely or
he or she might feel the glue that sticks it to the bottom of your
hand.
Things You'll Need
[edit]
- 2 small coins
- Glue (make sure that it is safe for your skin); a glue stick is
probably the easiest to use
