Learn How To Do Basic Coin Vanishes And Coin Drops

Sometimes, the ability to perform a trick with just a simple coin instead of a deck of 52 cards can provide you and your audience with a lot more enjoyment. You’ve only got one item to work with, so your audience often feels like they can identify exactly what is going on when often times they wind up baffle. Coin magic tricks do require a significant amount of hand dexterity so don’t get frustrated if you can’t get a hold of it off the bat. As is always the case with magic tricks, practice makes perfect.

One of the most basic and vital sleight of hands you can learn as you enter into coin magic is how to perform a coin drop or coin vanish. These are two simple ways of making your coin disappear.

Where card magic allowed you to hide cards behind each other and rig the deck, coin magic can be very see through no matter where the audience is watching from. Make sure to practice coin magic tricks in a mirror relentlessly or you will find yourself fumbling the trick in front of your audience. Don’t get discouraged and keep up the practice!
