Teleportation tricks and their secrets revealed: A roundup of magic with coins, cards, and more (21–30)
Teleportation magic using two Jokers
Introducing a magic trick where two Joker cards teleport in an instant—you won’t be able to take your eyes off it.
When holding the cards, subtly adjust the angles so you’re not seen.
It’s also key to keep things fast-paced while directing the audience’s gaze toward other cards.
Practice so that spreading and counting the cards becomes smooth.
Ahead of the performance, practice in front of a mirror to check how it looks from the audience’s perspective—highly recommended!
The coins that were in four places gather in one place.
It’s a magic trick where four coins placed at the corners of a table move and gradually gather into one spot when you wave your hands over them.
The key is to create a moment when your hands come closer together before and after the wave; at that instant, you flick a coin with your thumb to move it.
If you focus on moving only your thumb without moving your whole palm, it’s harder for the audience to notice you’re physically moving the coins.
By carrying out the four moves in a smooth, continuous flow, you leave no time for the audience to think about where the secret lies!
Coin Transformation Magic
The coin swaps in an instant! Here’s an idea for a coin transformation magic trick.
Anyone would be surprised if the coin in your hand suddenly turned into a completely different one.
This trick is simple and easy to understand, so it’s recommended for beginners.
You’ll need a 500-yen coin, a 10-yen coin, a thin rubber string, duct tape, and scissors.
Using coins that differ in color and size makes the switch easier to notice.
Give it a try!
The coin teleports to the opposite hand.
This is a coin magic trick where you put three coins in just one palm and supposedly nothing in the other, yet with a light wave of the hands, the number of coins in each changes.
You control the count by the way you hold and pass the coins—such as pretending to hand over all of them while keeping one back with a finger.
The shape of the hand that’s “not holding anything” is also important; if you clench too tightly, it looks suspicious, so keep the hand relaxed while secretly pinching the coin between your fingers.
Paying attention to the sound of the coins clinking also helps—it enhances the feeling that the coins have teleported, which I highly recommend.
Winged Silver, the coin teleportation
Winged Silver is a coin transposition magic routine that is a signature piece of the American magician David Roth.
Four coins appear to travel one by one to the opposite hand, but the secret is that it actually uses five coins.
To perform it, in addition to fundamental coin techniques like the Classic Palm and Finger Palm, you also need a move called the Shuttle Pass, so it requires more practice than a verbal explanation alone might suggest.
Not only the techniques but also the patter during the performance play an important role, so be sure to study that aspect as well.
Teleporting Coin Winged Silver
David Roth, a magician renowned as a leading figure in coin magic, created a routine called Winged Silver.
Let me introduce it.
In this routine, coins are secretly palmed and made to travel from hand to hand.
It’s simple, yet it incorporates a variety of techniques.
For example, the action of receiving a coin from the palm with a hand that is already secretly holding a coin is a technique known as the Shuttle Pass.
First, take your time to watch the performance carefully and try to imitate the graceful movements.
Simple and mysterious coin teleportation: “Chink-a-Chink”
It’s a magic trick where, when you pass your hand over coins placed at the four corners of a table, the coins gradually appear to jump to a single spot.
In addition to the four coins, there is one coin secretly palmed in one hand, and this is cleverly used to create the illusion of the coins jumping.
Be mindful to keep your hand relaxed so as not to reveal the palmed coin, and move the coins by using a motion that presses the coin with the base of your hand.
