A simple roundup of coin magic. Beginner-friendly tricks where palming and gimmicks are easy to try (1–10)
A magic trick where you make a coin in your palm disappear the moment you tap it with a pen.
It’s a magic trick where, after you tap the hand holding a coin with a pen, the coin vanishes from the hand, and when you remove the pen cap, the coin appears inside.
As you make the grasping motion, you lightly float the coin and catch it on the inside of the hand holding the pen.
By the time the hand is closed, the coin has already been transferred, so you can slowly open your hand to show it’s empty, and then, as you open the pen cap, you let the coin drop to make it look like it has appeared.
Paying attention to the hand’s path and quick movements so that the catch isn’t noticed will make the effect look even more mysterious.
Penetration magic using multiple coins
Here’s an introduction to a magic trick where a coin passes through a cup! Out of the three coins prepared, the third one appears to pass through the cup and end up inside it.
The secret is that the third coin, which actually hasn’t been put inside, is hidden by the thumb that’s gripping the cup.
Then at the end, it’s produced together with the two coins that are inside.
For the first and second coins, clearly drop them into the cup so the audience gets the impression that only two coins were put in, creating the illusion.
It also helps to first show the audience that there’s nothing inside the cup at the beginning.
Coin vanish using a handkerchief
How about a magic trick with a coin and a handkerchief? Place a 100-yen coin in the center of the handkerchief, then fold the corners over the coin in the middle.
Cast a little spell, lift the handkerchief, and… the 100-yen coin has vanished! The secret to this trick is to put double-sided tape on the corner of the handkerchief that you first fold over the center.
The 100-yen coin sticks to the tape, making it look like it disappeared.
Once you know the secret it’s very simple, but if you show it to someone who doesn’t, they’ll be amazed.
Be sure to watch the video for reference and give it a try!

A coin that teleports onto a plastic bottle cap
Here’s an introduction to a magic trick where a coin vanishes in an instant! This video even includes a simple explanation of the method.
On the table are a plastic bottle cap and a single 500-yen coin.
You grasp the 500-yen coin with your left hand and then open your hand… and like magic, the coin you just held has disappeared.
So where did it go? It appears from underneath the bottle cap.
The secret is that the bottle cap is just big enough to fit a 500-yen coin.
So there was actually a coin preloaded in the cap, and the coin you seemed to grab was secretly dropped out of sight! Once you know the secret, it’s easy—give it a try!
Coin Through Hand (Simple Version)
In this video, a magic trick is introduced where a coin supposedly passes through the palm and ends up on the back of the hand.
You cover the back of your left hand, which is holding the coin, with your right hand, move your hands, and—look! The coin that should have been gripped is now on the back of the left hand.
It’s quite mysterious when you first see it.
Here’s the reveal: the coin isn’t actually passing through.
Using the momentum from the hand movement, it slips from the gaps in the palm to the back of the hand.
It may require a bit of technique, but it’s a very fun trick—practice it and be sure to show it off at parties!
A magic trick where the coin you had them hold changes
Coins are convenient because you can have them ready even when you’re out and about.
One of the most popular coin tricks is the “spectator-held coin changes” routine.
If you have one 100-yen coin and two 10-yen coins, you can start right away.
It’s even more entertaining when the spectator gets involved.
Practicing with a finger palm may feel a bit difficult at first, but once you get used to it, you’re sure to capture attention even in front of a large crowd! Why not experience the fun of captivating those around you? Give it a try as an easy coin magic routine that doesn’t require advanced techniques!
A bamboo skewer pierces through a coin
A magic trick where a skewer penetrates a coin—just one word: astonishing! All you need is a coin wrapped in paper and a bamboo skewer.
The key is to make a hole in the paper beforehand.
When performing, pretend to push the skewer into the coin while secretly opening the paper so it looks like it’s going through.
By understanding the paper’s gimmick and practicing your presentation, anyone can master it.
It’s an easy, flashy trick that’s sure to wow the crowd.
Give it a try—you’ll definitely amaze the people around you!
