What tricks can you do with a coin? Coin tricks

Comments 0 10/15/2009

Before attempting coin tricks, the beginner should learn through exercise several manual tricks that demonstrate dexterity.

The manual dexterity and attentiveness acquired through these exercises, if he has diligently put them into practice, is of the greatest value. It is safe to say that a skilled card magician will easily study any branch of this magical art - the art of magic.

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

In order to acquire this skill, take a coin the size of a five-kopeck coin and place it on your open hand (see Fig. 59).

Then close your hand very slowly, and if you have placed the coin in the right place (which will soon be revealed by your attempts), it will be held by contracting the palm around the edges of the coin and you can
move your hand and arm completely freely, without fear of dropping it.

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

When you are able to hold the coin in your right hand freely, 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 these objects are often used in tricks.

Once you've thoroughly learned these first techniques, you can begin to learn 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 that it seemed to have just left.

Since the same movement, if repeated frequently, can arouse suspicion among spectators, it is useful to know different ways of producing it. For the sake of clarity of their sequence, we number the described methods.
Reception 1st. Take the coin in your right hand with your second, third and thumb (see Fig. 61) so that these fingers actually hold it, and the thumb only supports it. After this, release your thumb and bend the second and third fingers with the coin balancing on them towards your palm (see Fig. 62).

If the coin was placed on the fingers properly, then you will see that with this movement you place it on the palm, exactly in the place mentioned above as the most convenient.

When you extend your fingers again, the coin remains in your palm, as in Fig. 60.

If you have learned to do this easily with the hand at rest, 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 will touch her palm, and it will seem that she is holding a coin, which you seem to have transferred into her with this movement.

After this, 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.

In case 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 in the palm of your right hand, slightly covering this hand while moving it towards your left.

A larger surface area in this case will give you the full opportunity to hold it without squeezing it in your palm. Just remember that, in any case, both hands should act as harmoniously as when you actually transfer something from hand to hand.

Therefore, you should raise your left hand to meet your right; but it should not begin its movement earlier than the right one. Once this is done, skillful use of the wand can help to conceal the fact that the object remains in your right hand.

For this purpose, the magician can place it before moving the object under the armpit of one or the other hand, as if in order to free up his hands.

Immediately after moving the object, the right hand should, after making a slight backward movement, which in this case will seem quite natural, grasp the rod, remove it from under the arm and then hold it until the coin needs to be manipulated.

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 easier than the first dose and can in some cases replace it. Grab the coin by its edges with the index and ring fingers of your right hand, squeezing the edges of the coin with the sides of your fingers and supporting it from behind with your second finger (see Fig. 63).
Move your right hand toward your left and at the same time gently push your thumb over the front of the coin until the top knuckle passes over the outer edge (see Fig. 64).

Then bend your thumb - and the coin will be well hidden between this joint and the connection of the thumb with the palm (see Fig. 65).

Just as in the previous case, the left hand should close the moment the right hand touches it, and the right thumb should remain slightly bent inward towards the palm so that the coin is not visible to the spectators.

This is a very quick way to hide and when done skillfully it creates a complete illusion.

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

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

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

Move your right hand towards your left, moving your right thumb under the coin and your other fingers over it, and at the same time close them.

It will appear to the spectators that you are grasping the coin with your thumb and fingers, when in reality you are simply dropping it into the palm of your left hand while it is covered by the fingers of your right hand (see Fig. 68).

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

Don’t be in too much of a hurry to lower your left hand, but turn your palm slightly toward you with your fingers slightly bent, and after a while, lower it down.

The cavity created by the bent fingers is sufficient to hold the coin. This method is also convenient for smaller coins, because... they are difficult to hide quickly using ordinary methods. It is also very useful 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, index and middle fingers 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 seems to be grasping the coin, with the back side facing the audience.

At this moment, when the coin is covered by the fingers of the right hand, it can carefully slide into the palm of the left, and the right one 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.

Sharply point your right hand towards 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 into the left hand (as it appears to the eyes and ears of the spectators).

They flip over completely, making a loud clanging noise as the arms come together.

The left hand is, of course, closed, and the thumb of the right hand can gently press the coins so that when the hand comes down along your body, they make no noise and thus do not betray their presence in it.

Reception 7th. This method is best applied to a large coin like a metal ruble. But if the student has a small hand (a very important disadvantage for tricks in general), he can apply this method to another coin.

Take the coin in your right hand with your index, middle and thumb fingers, and while you seem to move it into your left hand, gently move 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 is that when performing it, the baton is held in the hand - a case to which all other techniques are inapplicable.

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

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

But when doing this, you should be careful that the coin does not clink against 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 each of them has their favorite technique or techniques.

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

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

It is advisable to practice 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 must get used to constantly watching with your eyes the hand in which everyone thinks the object is located.

This is the best means to ensure that the eyes and attention of the viewers also follow the same direction. Once you get used to accurately performing these techniques with one coin, you can begin to practice with smaller coins, two, and then three or four at a time.

There is one caveat here. These techniques should not be considered tricks themselves, but only means for performing tricks.

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

But in this way 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 sideburns of some spectator, or in another place convenient for him, and he must first announce in what place it will be found, thus distracting , general attention from myself.

When the coin is already in his hand, he only needs to transfer it to the tips of the fingers of the same hand when he touches it to the named place, as if taking it out from there.

After these instructions concerning the hand that actually contains the coin, a few words should be said about the hand that does not contain the coin.

Wherever you place an object, whether in a clenched hand or in an apparatus from which it is subsequently to disappear, you must make it a rule not to show that the object has disappeared from there without some preliminary magical action, however small, which may seem like a plausible excuse to such a disappearance.

The most insignificant action is enough - touching with a wand, pronouncing a magical formula like the word “pass”, pressing with a finger; but in one form or another this ceremony should never be omitted.

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

If you simply open your left hand and show that there is no coin there, then the audience will, of course, guess the truth, that is, that you did not place the coin there at all.

But if you wait a minute or two before opening your hand so that the spectators are accustomed to think of the coin as being in it, and then, before opening it, mysteriously touch your 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 an activity incompatible with hiding anything 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 the spectators. And although they know very well that touching a clenched hand with a staff or a finger of the other hand cannot make the coin disappear, yet since it is certain that the coin has disappeared, their mind involuntarily accepts the explanation that you offer.

Before the hand is unclenched, the hand that holds the object has already somehow freed itself from it. In this case, the viewer is no longer able 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, you can leave it to the viewer 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 may even say that three-quarters of her miracles are based on it. When a substitution is made, the dummy object remains in full view of the audience, and the magician, having secretly received the real object into his possession, disposes of it as required by the trick. We will now describe various methods of substitution, also denoting them with numbers.

Substitution 1st. Let's assume that you want to replace the coin marked by the audience with some other one.

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

Taking the marked coin in your right hand, you hide it in your palm using technique 1, but instead of closing your left hand when the fingers of the right touch it, you leave the first one casually open and show the dummy coin lying on it, which is accepted by the public as the real one. , just placed there by your right hand.

Substitution 2nd. It differs only in that you do the 2nd technique with your right hand instead of the 1st.

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

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

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

Then, by means of the 4th technique, you take the coin with your right hand and at the same moment discover the counterfeit that was already there.

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

Take the latter with your right hand, while at the same time dropping the counter coin into your left hand, and the fingers of your left hand should be 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 took this coin openly. I will make her return invisibly to her original place.”

Hold your left hand, do the 1st or 2nd technique with your right hand, moving it towards the left, but without bringing your hands together. The marked coin will be hidden in the palm of your right hand.

Immediately then open your left hand and show a dummy coin, which the audience will consider to be real.

There are many other substitutions; their number is even too large to describe them all in this book. If you are skilled at hiding coins in your palm and performing various tricks, then you can invent ways of substitution yourself.

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

The secret of the trick: If you touch a coin with your middle finger while clicking, it will fly into the sleeve of your right hand. After a short training, the 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.

Coin with a Vanishing Side

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 back of a coin disappear and leave only one side. The audience is perplexed! And you calmly proceed: ask the audience, who have already come to their senses, which side of the coin you should make disappear.

The secret of the trick: Let's say that you were offered to leave the "heads" and make the "tails" disappear. Then place the coin as stated above, with the “eagle” side up. Now quickly bend your thumb at the base into your palm. As a result, the coin will slide off the base and will be 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 above your hand. Bring your other hand under the coin to later catch the coin. Now the coin is (still in the air) between your hands! And “slam” it between your palms. It will seem to the audience that the coin and your palm have turned over, but in fact only your palm has turned over, and the coin remains on heads. Show the audience the coin. This is where they will be stunned.

A coin with two identical sides?!! Only YOU can do this!!!

Sticky coin

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

The secret of the trick: First you wet your hands, then the spectator gives you a coin and you press the coin on your wet hand. A vacuum forms there, you turn your hand over, and the coin remains on your hand!

The magic secret is to make money out of water

Turning coffee into coins

David Blaine turned a cup of coffee into a cup full of coins on his TV show. It turns out that this is very easy to repeat!

Secret trick: You will need a cardboard coffee cup, preferably with a pattern. Using a modeling knife or scissors, carefully cut off the bottom of the cup. Insert the upper part into the lower part with a slight screwing motion. Fill the cup three-quarters full with coins.

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

Hold the cup by the top and pull out the bottom slightly. Then shake. The coffee will spill down and the coins will appear. This trick can be done with any cardboard cup from the machine. Do not use hot coffee!

And the coin is intact!

The secret of the trick: Take two corks and poke five holes into them in this way: four holes around and a fifth in the middle.

Take five knitting needles and one coin (the coin should be five or ten kopecks). Place a coin in one cork and cover it with the other cork. Start piercing the knitting needles in a circle. When you pierce the last knitting needle in a circle, the coin becomes an edge. And the middle can be easily pierced. When you remove the spokes and the top plug, the coin will have no holes.

lungs

Coin tricks can be performed anywhere. This trick can be performed among friends or for a very small audience.

Take a fifteen-kopeck coin out of your pocket and place it on the back of the outstretched fingers of your right hand. The audience's attention naturally focuses on this coin - they are interested in finding out what will happen to it. And then, in front of the audience, the coin crawled along the hand, as if it were a living creature.

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

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

Nylon thread is extremely thin and completely invisible on the human body. You use this quality of nylon thread.

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

Then you take a tiny piece of plasticine and roll it into a tiny ball. 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 jacket loop, where the lapel ends.

Now you can start demonstrating the trick. With your right hand you take a coin out of your pocket, and with your left you feel for the ball at the end of the thread. The moment you are about to place the 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 at the bottom, under the coin.

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

Having placed the coin on your hand, you carefully begin to move this hand forward, and the coin attached to the thread 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 towards your right hand, carefully moving the moving coin onto it. Alternately transfer the coin to one hand or the other.

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 hide from the audience the thread that can 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 spectators. After demonstrating the trick, you will give it to the audience for inspection, quietly peeling 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 in illusionism it has become subject to errors. Ask the audience:

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

- Okay, tell the audience, now we will check it. Take 10 coins and a tobacco pouch from the table. Submit all this for inspection. Ask two spectators to help you. Give one 10 coins and the other a pouch. Taking a small tray from the table, ask to place five coins on it, counting one at a time. The spectator puts it down and counts out loud. Ask another spectator 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? Great! Place the remaining five coins on my tray. Count. The spectator counts the coins out loud and places them. Offer to open the pouch and pour the remaining five coins into it from the tray. The pouch closes.

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

- You see what magic 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 design is chosen so as to well mask the holes for the coins to come out.

Between the real and false bottoms, sides are soldered a little higher than the thickness of the coin and a little wider so that the coins can easily enter and move along this path. There is a hole on each side of the tray through which coins are “charged” into the tray. When demonstrating, the tray should be held by the short sides so that spectators do not discover the hole.

You need to pour coins from the tray with a sharp movement so that the coins from the entrance spill into the pouch at the same time as the coins on the tray.

Glass goblet with lid

This contraption consists of a fairly large glass goblet and a painted tin lid, shaped like the lid of a coffee pot, but of such size that it can hold two coins in a standing position.

They are placed side by side in a flat tube, wide enough to contain them, attached in a slightly inclined position to the top of the lid and divided into two parts by a tin partition.

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, only one coin will be released, but if you press it harder, the second coin will also fall out. The lid mechanism is hidden by a flat bottom made of tin, with an oblong hole just wide enough to admit coins.

You take care not to show the cup and lid until you have taken possession of the two coins you borrowed for the trick. Going for the cup and lid, you prepare the latter by investing the borrowed coins.

You do this by holding the lid upside down, pressing the button and moving the movable ring away: the coins drop inside. When you stop pressing the button, the movable ring returns to its normal position.

Then you expose the cup and lid and place them on the table. Holding the cup upside down to show that it is empty, you cover it with a lid, as if to prevent anything secretly being thrown into it, and, for still greater security, you throw a handkerchief used for this purpose over the whole thing. .

You now announce that, in spite of all the difficulties to which you have been subjected, you will pass both coins through the handkerchief and through the metal lid in the cup.

Taking in your right hand one of the substitute coins that remained in plain sight and which the spectators mistook for real ones, you pretend to transfer it using the first technique to your left hand, and, quietly pressing the button with the above-mentioned hand, force one of the coins fall from the lid, while simultaneously opening your hand to show that the coin has disappeared from it.

The audience hears but does not see the coin fall. For the second coin, it's better to introduce an element of variety, and so you might suggest ditching the scarf so everyone can see what's going on with the coin.

For further variety, you can use your wand as a guide. Taking the 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 move them down, while at the same time pressing the button with the rod, 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 cup and allow the spectators to take the coins from it themselves and make sure.

It is very good to have a second lid, exactly the same in appearance, but simple, without any mechanism. Then you can have both the cup and the lid examined before the trick begins.

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

Hello again!

Sergey Kulikov, aka Sailor, is in touch with you again!

I think that based on the title of our article today, you guessed that it will be devoted to several tricks with a coin. And that these tricks are really simple, and any beginner can do them!

Despite the fact that it is necessary to train very carefully before performing absolutely any trick, these same tricks do not require such rigorous preparation. You just need to know the secret and rehearse it in front of the mirror for about five minutes.

So let's move on to our tricks!

Trick number one!

If you try to describe it verbally, it will look something like this. We show the viewer a coin that we hold with the fingers of our left hand. Next, take this coin into your right hand.

After a few seconds we show the viewer that this coin has disappeared!

But absolutely all tricks with coins are subject to the rule of “prestige”, which states that if something has disappeared from somewhere, then it must appear somewhere!

And this coin will appear in a very unexpected place! We'll blow her nose! Yes, yes! It will appear right from our nose!

Demonstration and training

The technique with which this trick is done is called the “French drop”, or “French drop”.

This is one of the most useful and important techniques in coin magic in general, which allows for the easiest and wildly natural and plausible ways to pick up a coin in the “finger palm”, that is, palming the coin with your fingers.

In general, I advise everyone who wants to practice magic at a more or less good level to first learn this technique and this trick.

By the way, I'll give you a little hint. It is not necessary to exactly blow the coin. You can, for example, manifest it from the viewer's pocket or from any other place. It's a matter of your imagination. The author of the trick showed it from the nose because it breaks the viewer’s template a little, and he definitely doesn’t expect this.

Trick number two!

This trick is classic, but very few people know about it, for reasons unknown to me. This trick requires virtually no practice or preparation. It is enough to find out the secret, and at that very moment you will be able to surprise your viewers.

That's why this trick is perfect for those who don't want to practice magic seriously, but just want to learn a couple of cool tricks just in case. For example, surprise friends or your family and friends.

It can be described something like this: we show the viewer a coin in our right hand. We take the coin with our left hand and... a second later we open our left palm and we see that the coin is gone!

And she appears under our palm! This is a very quick and visual trick that is also simple. That is why it is ideal for all beginners and simply interested amateurs.

Demonstration and training

Focus number three!

But this trick is not exactly for beginners. He will need to be trained for a day or two.

After all, he will teach you one of the most important components when performing any trick - angle control.

Yes, this trick is foreshortening. But don't be afraid of this. On the contrary, we should strive for difficulties, because they increase our experience!

The trick looks something like this: show the coin in your right hand, take it with your left hand. We open our left hand and... the coin has disappeared! It is not in any of our hands! But we can easily manifest it in a few seconds!

Demonstration and training

So, dear friends, these are the three wonderful tricks with a coin and how to learn them.

I highly recommend that you learn all three and combine them into one great routine. It will be possible to show a kind of amateur performance for a couple of minutes.

And I recommend this trick to all lovers of card magic " Triumph"from the legendary Dai Vernon!

That's all I have for today! These are the video tricks we had today with a coin for beginners!

Sergey Kulikov was in touch with you.

Thanks to money tricks, your success is guaranteed!

Today we will talk about how to master the art, how difficult it is and how to learn this skill using videos. Such tricks are an excellent opportunity to attract attention, causing excitement and applause from the viewer.

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

In childhood, everything seemed like magic, but today we can not only look behind the scenes, but gradually reveal, with the help of videos and instructions, all the secrets of a man in a robe with disappearing banknotes in his hands.

Basic techniques of a professional magician

An aspiring magician has a lot to learn before going out in public.

Magician's techniques include: sleight of hand, optical illusion, “magic” 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 should master the basic movements, after which you can begin the secret steps techniques.

You should start with simple tricks

Important: When preparing a trick with banknotes, you need to monitor the position of your hands and train their dexterity. However, regular rehearsals in front of the mirror are not advisable. The thing is that by focusing on his movements, the magician misses the important thing - the reaction of the viewer.

It should be remembered that each consists of worked out parts to perfection.

Let's look at several options for deftly maneuvering with money.

Trick "The Disappearing Coin"

The disappearance of money attracts the attention of viewers

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 the coin is indeed real.

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

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

More details solution to the coin trick you can watch this video:

Trick "Chewed bill"

For the next trick you will need one large bill, folded five times and a little ingenuity.
The bill should be pointedly placed in your mouth and pretend that you are chewing it thoroughly, swallowing it convincingly.

Trick: “Coins Move Across”

To perform the trick, you need to stock up on four identical coins and use everything that is at hand. It could be a napkin, scarf, towel... The main thing is that the product is square in shape. You will also need 2 coverings: you can use paper napkins, playing cards... whatever you can find.

Let's get to the trick:

1. Place four coins in the corners of the napkin in a square shape.
2. Before performing the trick, it is necessary to prepare the audience well for future manipulations: to do this, we aimlessly move napkins or cards from place to place several times. It’s a good idea to wave and move them and thus attract the viewer’s attention to them.
3. All these manipulations in the previous step prepare the ground for the upcoming trick, which is better to start doing after one or two minutes, once everything necessary is prepared.
4. During the trick, covering the coins with covers, you need to say something like “This is your side, this is my side, this is the left, this is the right...” All this will distract the viewer’s attention from the main thing and allow the trick to take place.
5. Carefully covering the coin with the coating, discreetly pinch it with your fingers under the napkin. To make this happen as unnoticeably as possible, with all your gestures, words and emotions, draw the viewer’s attention to the other coin at the end of the napkin.
6. Then we wave the napkins a few more times and place the coin in another place, right in front of the audience.
7. Then we carefully move the coin under the napkin and bring it to the edge, discreetly pinch it between our fingers and the coin is in our hands!
8. During all important manipulations, it is necessary to distract the viewer and draw his attention to another coin, showing with all your intentions that it is this coin that interests you most at this moment.
9. When collecting coins in one place, show that there are already 2, 3 of them... this will surprise the viewer and make it possible to take another one as discreetly as possible.
10. Then we show that there are already three coins in one corner (the fourth is already between the fingers) and emphasize that only one remains in the corner under the napkin. Using active movements, we depict how the coin moves to the three in the corner, and imperceptibly add a fourth to them, covering the coins for a second with a napkin.
11. We open the napkin - there are all 4 coins under it! The simplicity of the trick is that all the coins move in the same ways and the main thing is to distract the viewer’s attention and perform the trick as naturally and believably as possible.

This interesting and simple trick can be done anywhere and anytime, because everything you need for it can be found in your pocket! The main thing is to be as focused as possible and constantly distract the viewer to another angle. Remember that the audience is looking where the magician is. If you do all the manipulations calmly, confidently, skillfully and without looking at your hands, then after a few attempts the trick will definitely succeed. Give your loved ones a piece of magic!
