Sleight of Hand Magic Tricks : How to Make a Coin Disappear

Hi, this is Doug on behalf of ExpertVillage.com. What we're doing here is emphasizing the reappear in the French Drop. How do you make an object reappear? And different ways of doing that. Catching up with the trick, of course we started with a coin. We brought the hands together, we did the drop and steal. Bringing the hands apart, a little bit of delay, and of course the vanish. Now of course you want to make it something disappear. And especially if you borrowed someone's coin, because they'll be thinking that was my coin, and now it's gone. Unless you want to make a lot of money off of it. No, you definitely want to make it reappear. It's just going to be your kicker ending to a great trick. So of course you're starting up here. And if you remember here, the coin has vanished, but didn't vanish all along. It started down here, this hand. It's going to be at the side of your body, just relaxed. Several different ways I like to make things reappear. Of course you want to say oh, well I disappeared and it has reappeared. Go into your hand, or your pocket, and pull out the coin. Just again, if you see your hand is just palming the coin like this. Or in a very relaxed motion like this. You want to bring your hand into your pocket, then draw attention to the pocket. Pull out the coin. A couple other ways I like to do it, so you have your hand down to the side and say well, you didn't' see it, but I actually put it in my shoe. Kind of a fun one there. This one, the making your coin reappear, the options are endless. Of course, you're the classic magician secret of course making it, a coin disappear and then making it reappear behind someone's ear. How that vanish works, or that reappear works is you have the coin in your hand like so. And what you're going to do is actually push the coin to your fingertips. That's how it works there. Again, you're going to take the coin in your hand and just push it to your fingertips. Very important. And I also like to bring emotion, where you're actually bringing it forward, and bring it backwards into sight. And how it looks from the front is forward, backwards into sight. So it's almost as if the coin produced itself. Again, being very magical. And again, you can use it as if you're making it appear and anyone, any sort of place. Behind somebody's ear, in your shoe, in your sock, in your pocket. You guys do the math, you figure it out.
