Magic Secret: Simple Coin Across

One of my first time magic trick. About 15 years ago a girl named Hanna show me this coin trick and I'm very amazed that time. I beg her a few times to teach me this trick. Once I know the trick, it;s not so hard to learned it.

So now, I'm here to share with you the secret of this magic trick. I don't know what's the trick name. I just called it Simple Coin Across, because it is really simple but have amazing effect once you master it.

Enjoy! Happy magic : )

Coin Across (Magic Video)

This is one of my first time trick. I learned this Coin Across about 12 or 13 years ago. Some of the people think this trick is too old, but I think it is still enjoyable. I like the effect where the coin across from one hand to another hand through the air.

Many magicians play coin across with their own way, some play with 4 coins, some with 6 coins, but I used to play with 8 coins. In Indonesia, this tricks used to be called "8 Dewa" or "8 of Gods" if we translate it in English.

If you are a magician, try a Coin Across routine in part of your show (close up show of course, such as table hoping and street magic), believe me it is simple but your audience will applause for you.

For you who are not a magician, please don't think too hard for the secret behind it and enjoy the show : )

I think this is a unique coin magic routine which combine coins and cards. Not many coin magic routine that could be combined with card. I try to learn this coin magic routine called Coin Matrix, and this is the result.

"DIME AND PENNY TRICK"

This is a fine impromptu mind reading effect that requires no preparation whatsoever. The magician has an audience member hold a dime in one hand and a penny in the other. He's instructed to close both hands into fists. The magician turns his back and asks him to concentrate on one of the coins. After a moment the magician turns around and correctly identifies the mentally selected coin.

SECRET: Begin by handing the audience member the two coins. Place the dime in his right hand, the penny in his left and tell him to close both hands into a fist. Look directly at him and say, "I want you to concentrate on one of the two coins. You can think of the dime or the penny, but, please don't give me any help. Don't glance at your hands, just concentrate on one of the coins and I'll try and tell you exactly which one you were thinking of."

Close your eyes as if you're actually trying to read his mind. After a moment open them and say, "I'm having some difficulty, I'm not getting anything. You're going to have to help me. I'll turn my back, and while my back is turned I want you to place the hand holding the coin you're thinking of, against your forehead like this." Demonstrate by holding your fist against your forehead. Turn your back and say, "All right place the hand containing the coin you're thinking of against your forehead. Have you done that? Good. Now hold it there and concentrate on the coin. Concentrate, trying to visualize it in your mind's eye."

Pause for a moment and then say, "All right, I think I've got it. Please take your hand from your forehead and place it alongside the one holding the other coin. Have you done that? Good. Then it's all right for me to turnaround." Turn to face him and, as you do, glance at his hands. One will be considerably lighter in color than the other. The hand he held up against his forehead will be much lighter due to the fact that the blood has rushed out of it. Do not stare at his hands--a cursory glance is all that is needed. Instead, look directly into his eyes and dramatically name the coin he's been concentrating on. If his right hand is lighter, it's the dime. If his left and is lighter, it's the penny.
