I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

[Revealed] A Vanishing Magic Trick You Can Do with a Single Coin [A Must-See for Beginners!]

It’s a beautiful coin magic routine where you supposedly pass the coin from your right hand to your left, but the coin vanishes, isn’t in either hand, and ultimately reappears from the left hand.

Of course, the coin never truly disappears—it’s been concealed in the right palm the whole time, while you make it look as though you’re not holding anything.

This trick uses the Classic Palm, which hides a coin in the center of the palm, and the Wiped Clean technique, which makes both hands appear empty.

Both are fundamental techniques in coin magic, but mastering them to the point where they can’t be detected requires considerable practice.
