Magic tricks are great to fool and astonish your friends and keep you and your family entertained. One of the classic magic tricks is the coin-vanish trick, there are a lot of different ways to do this astonishing trick, some are pretty hard to do, but others are very easy to do, some of them require hours of practice to master them, but some only take a couple minutes to master. There are plenty of different coin-vanish tricks that you could learn to do easily, and yet, others that would be a real challenge for some people, but the one I am about to show you is not that hard to master and not that easy to master, either, so here is how you do one of the many coin tricks that you will learn.

First, take a coin (the bigger the better when you are starting off) and with your thumb, push it lightly against all your other fingers on your left hand, second, take the other hand and, pretend to pick it up using your palm, but really drop it into your starting hand by gently releasing it and dropping it into your first hand, next, close your second hand and pretend that the coin is in it, and put your first hand down by your side and press the coin in the center of your palm and gently tighten your hand, in doing this you should get the coin to stay in the center of your palm without holding it there with your other hand (try not to tighten your hand up too much otherwise your audience might suspect that you are holding something in that hand), Then, while still holding the coin in your first hand, wave your first hand up above your second hand, with your palm facing down to the floor, last, open your second hand and snap using your second hand and show the audience your whole hand so they know that nothing is in it, and after that, open your first hand to show them that the coin is really in that hand and watch them be astonished!

If you practice this trick enough times, you will get very good at it and you could amaze your friends and family with this astonishing trick, another great tip to help you improve your coin-vanishing skills is that you can do this trick to yourself over and over in the mirror, one time when I was doing this, I almost tricked myself, it looked so good! Another great little trick that you can do to amaze your family and friends and family is pretty simple and sort of hard at the same time, and it also requires you to wear a long sleeve shirt, so if you are looking for a challenge to add to your day, you have to try this trick!

First, put a coin on your thumb or pointer finger (for this one, a small coin works best), next, move your other hand's middle finger and thumb into a position like you are going to snap, right above the finger that has the coin on it, next, make sure that there is a space for your coin to shoot through in your sleeve, then, snap as fast as you can so that, your middle finger hits the coin and shoots it up your sleeve so fast, that no one can so it fly into your sleeve, last, show the audience both of your hands and watch the expression on there faces!

If you practice these tricks enough times, you will eventually get good enough to fool all your friends and family! Remember, practice makes perfect, and have fun with your new tricks!
