Money Magic - Coin click
The magic effect:
You start this magic trick by placing a coin onto the palm of a volunteers outstretched hand, then with the click of your fingers the coin will seem to have vanished in an instant, this magic trick takes quite a bit of practice to perform but when you get it right it is quite an amazing magic trick.

What you will need:
To perform this magic trick you will need a coin, long loose sleeves and good accuracy.

How to do the magic:
Take a coin and place it in the palm of a volunteers hand, then tell them you will make the coin disappear with the click of your fingers. Put your hand over the persons hand with your fingers ready to click near the coin, build up the anticipation by counting down from three to one then click your fingers, making sure the force of the click flicks the coin off the volunteers hand and up your sleeve. Raise your arm slightly making sure that the coin doesn’t fall back down your sleeve, if you perform this magic trick well the coin will move to fast for the volunteer to see. Even if you don't manage to get the coin to shoot up your sleeve it should disappear out of site (be careful that you don't hit anyone with the coin projectile) and if there is enough background noise no one will hear it, the problem will be when you try to find it again.

Money Magic - Match box coin, make a coin vanish from a match box

The magic effect:
You take a match box and show your audience that it is empty, then you ask a volunteer to place a coin into the box. You then close the box and shake it from side to side so the audience can hear that the coin is still there. Now for the magic bit, when you open the box the coin has vanished.

What you will need:
Take one ordinary match box and cut a hole in to the bottom of one end, as shown in the animation above, you will also need a coin.

How to do the magic:
Once you have your magic match box with a hole cut into one end, open the box and show your audience that the box is empty (you should be able to separate the two parts of the match box without anyone being able to see that there is a hole in one part, as long as you hold the part with the hole at an angle). Ask a volunteer to put a coin into the box (do not give the box to your volunteer), now close the box and shake it from side to side so as to show the coin is still in the box. Tilt the box up so the coin can slide out into your hand, palm the coin and put it into your pocket while focusing your audiences attention on the match box. Now to finish the magic trick, open the box to reveal that the coin has vanished.

Money Magic - Vanishing coin

The magic effect:
Make any coin vanish, by holding the coin in one hand then it will appear that you have taken it with the other hand but instead it will appear to have vanished. On its own this is a very simple and unimpressive trick but when used as part of more elaborate magic it’s a very useful technique.

What you will need:
To do this trick you will need two hands and one coin.

How to do the magic:
Take a coin between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand then make a fist with your right hand over the coin, as you do this drop the coin into the palm of your left hand. To direct attention to your empty right hand point to it with your left hand, now raise your right hand to the viewer, as you do this loose the coin by dropping it into your pocket, to finish the trick slowly open both empty hands.


Money Magic - Vanishing Tenner

The magic effect:
You show the spectator that you have three ten pound notes in your hands (can be any currency, as long as it is paper notes), then you fold over the notes and count them out onto a table. Magically there are only two notes.

What you will need:
To perform this magic trick all you will need is two tenners and a little practice.

How to do the magic:
This trick takes a bit of practice to perform it well and so it doesn't look daft, also it will work better if you do not to let on that you intend to make one ten pound note disappear, it would be better to say something like ‘here’s a bit of magic using three tenners’ or something similar. You start the trick with one of the notes folded in two under the other flat note, so as to hide the fact that one is folded, then count the three ends. As you do this start to fold the top note around to match the folded one underneath and finally finishing the trick by flattening both notes out to reveal there are only two ten pound notes.
