Simpliest Coin Trick Ever

The only trick I knew was from my grandpa when I was Chase's age. Basically you take a coin, preferably a dime because it is so small and hard to see, put it on the corner of your palm between your thumb and index finger. Hold both hands out with palms up and flip them over really fast. While you do this, make the dime fly from the one hand to the other and ball you fists up like you do when you say "which hand?". Of course this is when you say, "which hand?". Chase chose the hand it started in and then I showed him the other hand. The excitement you see in a 4 year olds face the first time you do this dumb trick is priceless! He was so thrilled he said "Do it again daddy!". Loving the look on his face, I did it again. This time the coin flew past my other hand and landed on the floor about 3 feet away! Chase laughed and laughed! Then he said "I can make the coin disappear too!". So he grabbed the coin, put it in his hand and threw it across the room! That was PRICELESS! We both just look at each other and burst into fits of laughter for what seemed like 5 minutes! He is the cutest kid in the world!

Ok here's the trick!

Hold two coins flat on top of each other between your thumb and forefinger, sideways to your crowd. Say you will make an extra coin by rubbing them together.

Rub the coins quickly backwards and forwards against each other. It looks as if there are three coins, not two.

It is almost certain that a someone will mention that this is only an optical illusion.

Now is the time to close your fist and re open it showing the three coins.

You need a hidden coin in a classic palm position. (That is when a coin is squeezed between the fleshly base of your thumb and palm, hidden from view.)

Again, this trick needs practice to get the rubbing of the coins to look like a third one is appearing, once you got it, it looks very real!

It made me feel so good inside to see my son, his friends and 12 adults gleaming over these tricks that were so easy to learn! For now, I am forever his hero again!

Now every time Chase's friends come over to the house, guess who has to do some coin magic tricks!
