Pen and the quarter
To start the trick, you need a pen and a quarter. You also need a shirt with a left
breast pocket. Make sure your spectator is to the left of you when you begin. First,
turn your left palm upwards at waist height and place the quarter in the centre.
Hold the pen in your right hand, and make a downwards-stabbing motion with it
from your right ear to your palm. Repeat these "practice" movements 2 times. On
the third time, place the pen behind your right ear, but keep your hand in the same
position as if it was still there on the way down. Now it appears as if the pen has
vanished. Turn towards the spectator and show where the pen is. Let them feel
that they are in on the trick. As they are looking at your ear, quickly drop the
quarter in your shirt pocket while simultaneously telling your spectator that you will
try again. Now that they are ready to concentrate on the "real" trick again, they
will find that this time the quarter has vanished!
Back and Forth Coins
Effect
Magician gives two coins to spectator to hold, one in each hand. He then explains
that he will magically exchange the two coins from hand to hand without the
spectator s knowledge. After making the appropriate magical passes, he proclaims
the coins have switched places. Opening his hands, the spectator complains that
the coins never moved. At that, the magician claims he will switch them back, has
the spectator close his hands again, makes the proper magic wave, and declares
they have switched places again.
At the spectator s continued insistence that the coins have not moved, the magician
takes one coin, places it in the spectator s right hand, and closes the hand over the
coin. Taking the other coin, with a marker, the magician draws a big X on the coin
to identify it. Placing this coin in the spectators left hand and closing the hand over
the coin, he then makes a magical pass and has the spectator open his hands to
show the coin with the X has changed places and is now in the spectator s right
hand and the unmarked coin is in the left.
Secret
There are actually three coins and two markers, one regular indelible marker and
the other, a white board or dry erase marker both black. This trick works well
with 50-cent pieces but can be performed with quarters if preferred. On one coin,
with an indelible marker, draw a large X from edge to edge. Make note of how you
draw it because you will duplicate the mark during the trick.
This coin should be classic palmed in the left hand. The set-up of doing the coin
transfer is to get the spectator used to the handling of the coins and get him off-
balance for the actual trick. When picking up the coins from his hands, exchange
the unmarked coin in your left hand for the marked coin. Either thumb clip the
unmarked coin and drop the palmed coin in his hand, X down, folding his hand over
the coin before he can look at it. When you reach into your pocket to get the white
board (dry erase) marker, drop off the unmarked coin in your pocket. Using the
white board marker, mark a large X on the coin identical to the X you marked on
the other coin in indelible marker.
Blow on it to dry the marker and show to the spectator and explain that now
anyone should be able to keep track of the coin. When you place it in the left hand,
wipe the X off with your thumb. Due to the aspect of the white board marker, the X
will wipe off from the coin very easily. Make the wiping move natural and place in
the left hand, folding the hand over the coin. Make your magical passes and have
the spectator open their hands and go "What the& This is a quick and easy trick
that has good impromptu aspects. Use the regular marker to sign a card for the
spectator to reinforce the idea that the marker on the coin was indelible.
Copper-Silver Penetration with a few modifications
Effect
A penny is wrapped in a handkerchief. A spectator holds the handkerchief by the
closed and open ends. A quarter is thrown at the handkerchief and is heard to fall
inside. Both coins are in the handkerchief.
Secret
2 quarters, 1 penny, a handkerchief, and a spectator are needed
Secretly palm a quarter in your left hand.
Hold the penny in the fingers of your left hand. Be careful not to show the palmed
coin.
Drape the handkerchief over the penny and the left hand. The centre of the
handkerchief should be on top of the penny.
Grasp the penny with your right hand through the handkerchief.
As you remove your left hand from under the handkerchief, place the palmed
quarter in the palm of your right hand.
Hand the penny to the spectator to hold through the handkerchief. Slide the right
hand toward you, pulling the quarter to the centre.
Hold the quarter still by the left hand and give the other end (open end and
corners) to the spectator's other hand.
Pick up the other quarter and "vanish" it any way you like. (I prefer the French
Drop).
With the hand that supposedly is holding the quarter, hit the handkerchief in the
centre. This causes the handkerchief to fall out of one of the hands and the coins
heard hitting each other. This is one of my favourite coin tricks. It always receives
a "Do that again" If possible.
Coin Optic
A magician has two coins in his hand when he starts to rub them it looks like a
third is appearing and when he opens his hand there are three coins now.
Hold two coins flat on top of each other between your thumb and forefinger,
sideways to the audience. Say you will make an extra coin by rubbing them
together.
Rub the coins quickly backwards and forwards against each other. It looks as if
there are three coins, not two.
You need a hidden coin in a classic palm position that is when a coin is squeezed
between the fleshly base of your thumb and palm.
Then if a spectator says it is only an optical illusion, you can throw three coins
down onto the table. This trick needs practise to get the rubbing of the coins to
look that a third one is appearing once you got it looks very effective I have done
this trick lots of times and not been caught yet.
