Swindled Coin trick
Effect: Excellent coin trick
where the magician removes a hand full of coins from his left pants
pocket. He then holds out the handful of coins and a black marker pen,
in front of the spectator. He then tells the spectator to choose a
coin and to mark ithe coin with an X and then return it to the
magicians left palm.
The
magician then appears to take the spectator's coin with his right
hand and returns the rest of the change to his left pocket.
The
coin is then placed against the leg directly below the pocket. The
coin is then rubbed into the cloth, whereupon the coin vanishes. It
is then found back inside the magicians pocket with the rest of the
change.
Method: After the spectator
marks the coin, the right hand "pretends"
to take it. In reality the right hand is covering it up with another
coin. Hold your hand in the air as if you have the coin.
Hesitate for a second with your left hand so that the spectator can
see that the marked coin is not in your left hand anymore (this
way the spectator mentally concludes that the marked coin must be in
your right hand). Place the rest of the change back into your
pocket.
Take
the right hand and its supposed coin and place it against your leg, in
the area of the left pocket.
Now
rub the imaginary coin into your leg. Then slowly part your right
fingers to show that the coin has vanished. Reach into your left
pocket and pull out the coins, ask the person what kind of coin they
chose. They might say a quarter.
Then
go through the coins and find the marked coin, put it on top of the
pile and show the spectators . |
