Coin Tricks

"Learn to do amazing coin tricks with the change in your pockets."

The best coin tricks require skill, but there are few magicians today who are willing to spend the necessary time and practice obtaining that skill.

Take the coin roll for example. This beautiful flourish takes just a little time to practice and master. You can even put in most of the practice time while watching televsion.

Jean Hugard was correct when he said, "There is an unfortunate trend among those who dabble in magic, and even those who rate themselves as magicians, to avoid anything that requires a little study and practice and to rely on tricks that work themselves, tricks that can be done five minutes after you receive them, as we see advertised so often."

Of all the branches of magic none is as practical as coins tricks. Coins are always available. If a magician can do coin tricks like the Flying Eagles he is always prepared to entertain. If he does not possess this ability, and has to rely on mechanical gadgets, there will be times when he will have to embarrassingly shun a request for a few tricks by saying, "I don't have anything with me." People will wonder who is the magician—you, or your apparatus.

A mastery of coin magic will give anyone an invaluable asset that can be put to practical use every day of the year. Take coin tricks like Coin Production from Two Cards as a great example.

Learning the moves of coin tricks and sleights is not enough. They should be practiced over and over, dozens of times, so that you can do them automatically, without thinking. Only then will you be able to give your attention to presentation, patter, misdirection, and all those things that have so much to do with making a magician a success. Learn coin tricks like Metamorphosis Coin Trick to begin to understand this principle. The secret workings of a coin trick are only a means to an end.
A well-presented coin trick is like a beautiful piece of music—audiences never tire of it. The Chinese Coin Trick is a amazing coin trick with a wonderful presentaiton. I have also seen David Blaine take a coin and perform street magic dozens of times. I always enjoy watching great coin magic performed.

How about Lance Burton or Jeff McBride with their beautiful stage magic? Who could tire of watching them! And so it is with all good entertainers—they are masters of their art and people always welcome the opportunity of seeing them again and again. And if it be your desire to master this art, take heart; for 'No man is his crafts' master the first day.'
