Do you want to hit your friends with simple but effective sleight of hand? If so, keep reading this article!
Steps
Step 1. Hold the coin in your hand between your middle finger and thumb
Make sure your whole hand is pointing slightly towards you.
Step 2. Put your other hand in a position that suggests you are about to grab the coin
Point all four fingers of this hand away from you and the thumb to the other side.
Step 3. As you close the hand approaching the one with the coin, just move your middle finger and thumb into the other hand so that it falls into the palm of this hand
This way, it will look like you are grabbing the coin with the other hand. But, in reality, the currency stays where it is.
Step 4. Finish the sleight of hand by moving your hand with the coin towards your leg and then putting the coin in your pocket; the audience will be focused on the other hand and will not notice
Step 5. Now open your hand and show that the coin has disappeared
Step 6. To finish the sleight of hand, be creative
You can make the coin reappear behind someone's ear in the audience or you could just leave it in your pocket so that it "disappears forever"!
