Coin Vanish and Production recap
So as you can see it is a very neat trick but will take plenty of practice to master.
You need to practice this in front of a mirror before you perform it in front of an audience. It is a difficult thing to learn and once you have mastered it you will find you will fail straight after so keep doing it until your fingers and hands can do it with your eyes closed.
So a few points to learn.
- After clipping the coin into the thumb palm separate both your hands before the transfer. (watch the comparisons on the video)
- The coin should not be seen when pinched by the middle and index finger. It should be pinched about halfway so the coin is hidden by the skin.
- The hand that is clipping the coin must be opened behind the other hand to prevent the coin from being flashed in that position.
- It is better to perform this vanish and production at face level for optimum angle proofing and to minimize any flashing of the coin.
- The index finger is the only finger that flicks. Only flick once. More will look suspicious!
There are two ways of picking up the coin from behind your fingers:-
- The first way is to grab the coin from behind using your thumb to drag it into the other hand.
- The second way is to drop the coin into the palm or toss it into your hand which puts you in danger of flashing the coin. This is the advanced way of producing the coin.
And there you have it. A fantastic coin trick to learn and enjoy performing.
