Trick Three - Hi Ho Silver

Hi Ho Silver, alright I am not a big fan of this trick to be honest. Here is the trick in a nutshell: You introduce a deck of cards and a half dollar. (I included the wand as motivation) You take the coin in one hand, cover it with a card. Then impossibly the coin jumps from under one card to the other. No gaff cards or coins, just pure sleight of hand. So here is the trick:



Pros: Perfect quick trick for the right situation. This effect could be a simple way to get a spectator involved in your magic. I think this would go great after a matrix like effect or a prelude to a coin across effect. Just some ideas

Cons: Once again, you a kind of foreshadowing what is about to happen. Once the coin is covered by the card I think the spectator might have a feeling about what is about to happen.

Coming up next, Grasshopper!

See you next week
