     It is fairly simple to learn how to do coin tricks and anyone can pick them up with a little bit of practice and confidence. The key here is to appear calm and to distract the audience with constant banter. The objective of doing this is so take the audiences attention away from your hands, even though they feel that they are watching every single move of yours. Every person, who knows how to do coin tricks, must also have the ability to weave fancy stories and ramblings off the tip of their tongue, in order to carry out these tricks properly.

     The Vanishing Coin
     This is a coin trick that starts off with the ‘illusionist’ showing the audience 4 coins in the palm of his hand. He then proceeds to close his fist, and when he reopens it there are only 3 coins left.

     The trick here is to make a fake coin beforehand, using aluminum foil. By placing a square shaped foil over a coin and pressing it extremely hard, it can be made to resemble a real coin. One must make sure that the square shaped foil is cut off very carefully though. Upon closing the fist the foil is crushed, and only 3 coins thus remain. With some practice you can get better at this trick, and you can also learn to make the fake aluminum coins better.

     The Vanishing Coin – 2
     This is another fairly simpler way to make a coin vanish. What you need to do is glue a coin onto the face of a card and then appear to drop the coin into your other hand by turning the coin over that hand. Put the card in your pocket and keep your fist closed, giving the impression that the coin is still in your hand. After a little bit of talking, you can open your hand and there will be no coin there. This is an amateur trick and it can be improved by improving the distracting talk of the magician. Every person, who sets out to learn, how to do coin tricks has tried this trick at the beginning of their careers. Read more about famous magicians. read more »
