There is a magic coin trick you can teach your friends and family,if you are inclined to give up your magic secrets, anyway here is one you can add to your bag of tricks, it is called the magic coin trick. This is what most magicians call a "slight of hand" move. It may take you a bit of practice to master this coin trick, but as they say, 'practice makes perfect'.

Simply hold a coin between your thumb and index finger, in your left hand. At the same time pass your right hand across the face of the coin to give that split second it will take you to drop the coin in the same hand (left hand) but giving the audience the impression it is in now in the right hand.

The object is to give a good flowing motion in your actions, make them deliberate and impressive, that your right hand has now got the coin, once they believe this , they will keep more attention on your right hand when in fact it is in the same hand.

You need to create the actions of snatching the coin from the left hand into your right, practice releasing and catching the coin in your left hand a few times to get the feel of things. Then you can practice with both hands, it really takes some mastering to learn this magic trick, but with persistence mixed with practice, anyone can do it, but if you ever get the chance to watch the best of these slight of hand magicians at work you will see how easy they make it look.
