:: Balance Coin On Palm ::
Ask to borrow any coin from a spectator then perform this little miracle!
THE EFFECT: First you take the coin and balance
it upright on the fingers of your open palm - impressive enough i'm
sure you'll agree, but suddenly with a wave of your hand, you get it to slowly and visibly drift backwards into your palm! Simply AMAZING!
Immediately
hand out the coin for examination - there is nothing to find! You can
repeat the trick straight away and even get a spectator to try to copy
you at the same time - they will find it impossible!
• Cool little bar or pub trick
• Zero set up time - repeated immediately
• 1 minute to learn (but a little practice time needed)
• One of the great easy coin tricks

THE SECRET: What's the secret to one of the coolest easy coin tricks? A small sewing pin! This is what you secretly use to act as a stand to balance the coin against. It must be concealed before the trick, in the hand you are going to balance the coin. The pin needs to be placed between your forefinger and middle finger, pin head down. (pic 1)
The head of the pin should be securely pinched between the knuckles where your fingers bend. (try not to prick yourself!)
In this position you can relax your hand in a natural way, palm facing towards your body so the pin can’t be seen. (pic 2)
THE METHOD: Ask to borrow a coin. (Any coin can be used but the bigger the better I find) For example borrow a two pence piece from a spectator. Take the coin and secretly balance it against the pin. It will look to the spectators as if the coin is balancing unsupported!

With the pin gripped between your knuckles gradually release your grip on the pin ever so slightly allowing the coin to slowly and visibly drift backwards under it’s own weight. (pic 3) Please note this bit can take some practice to get the knack, but is well worth the effort. Experiment with what works best for you! Practice in front of a mirror.
When the coin is flat on your palm (pic 4) you should find that the pin rests between your fingers in the crack. You can keep it hidden there and just hand back the coin for the spectator to have a go. Obviously they will not be able to repeat the trick. Alternatively you can let them examine the coin and of course they will find nothing!
If
you are sat at a table you can casually drop the pin into your lap and
spread your fingers showing your hands empty. If you want to perform
again simply keep the pin in your hand and just secretly position it
back into the gripped knuckle position (pic 2) and your set to go again.
If
at any point you want to get rid of the pin to end the trick ‘clean’,
when you have finished performing place the coin into your pocket with
the pin as well. Then act as though you forgot it was the spectators
coin and reach back into your pocket ‘apologizing’ and hand back the
coin, leaving the pin in your pocket. Say something as a joke like “Sorry, I thought that was my tip!”
