Free Magic Trick - Coin Clip  

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

Put a glass mouth upward on the table.
Carefully balance two coins opposite each other on the
rim of the glass.

Challenge your friends to take the 2 coins off the glass
at the same time but they must only use the thumb and
a finger from one hand to do it.
This will need a little more practise than other items I
have shown you.

Put the tip of your thumb gently on the center of one
coin and the tip of your middle finger on the center of
the other coin.

Gently press the coins and slide them down opposite
sides of the glass.

Keep pressure on the coins and, when they are about a
third of the way down, draw them toward you. As the
coins come off the glass, tighten your grip and drag
them away.

Free Magic Trick - Give Money Away  

Ask your friends to put all the twenty-cent coins they
have on the table with the side showing the year of
production downward.

Say you will give them ten cents for each of the twenty
cent coins where you get the date wrong! Does it sound
like they can’t lose?

They will as long as you make sure you get the dates
WRONG! That’s because your offer is that you will
exchange (give them) ten cents for each of their twenty
cents where you get the date wrong.

You make ten cents every time you "lose"!

Free Magic Trick - Coin Catch  

Show a glass, a coin and a straw.
Bend the straw in half, then put the glass mouth down
on a table and put the coin on top of the glass.
Offer the bent straw to a spectator and ask them to lift
the coin off the top of the glass using just the straw.
Don’t give them too long to work this out. But no matter
how long they have, your wager is safe. They cannot
win!

This is a "betcha" or "bar bet", not a trick. The straw is
only for taking their attention from your carefully chosen
words.

Whatever chicanery or skill your friends have, the result
will always be in your favour because the coin is on the
bottom of the glass, so no-one can meet your challenge
to remove it from the top!

Camel Coin  

Fold a sheet of paper from top to bottom and then fold it
left to right so that it is a quarter its original size
Unfold the paper, then cut a small hole where the
creases meet.

Show your friends the paper and a coin that is wider
than the hole in the center of the paper.
Ask them to push the coin through the hole without
tearing or cutting the paper?

You will be the only one who can do the deed.
The creases in the paper are only there to mislead your
spectators!

Put the coin on the table and hold the paper over it with
the hold right above the coin.

Push at the coin through the hole in the paper with the
tip of a finger or the point of the scissors.
You don’t have to make the coin travel through the hole
- you push (at) it through the hole!

With the right props you could push "a camel through
the eye of a needle" but you might upset the camel.

Free Trick Magic - How To Match Puzzle  

You lay 6 matches side by side in a row with their
heads nearest to the spectators.
Ask them can they move just 2 matches and leave
nothing?

This is simply a play on words. When they have tried,
you just take the third match and lay it diagonally
between the head of the first match and the other end
of the next match. This gives a fair representation of a
capital "N".

Leave the 4th match where it is ("I") but turn the 6th
match ninety degrees and lay it back down with its
head at the bottom of the 5th match ("L").

You have filled the conditions by moving only 2
matches and leaving nothing - NIL

It is okay if your friends groan, because you will almost
certainly hear of them pulling this stunt on other people.
If you are in the group where they do this, please play
along and pretend you do not know the puzzle. Part of
the Magician’s Code is to be a good spectator as well
as a good trickster.
