Astonishing magic: a coin moves inside a matchbox by itself


The magic trick

The audience will see how the magician moves the coin inside the empty box from matches without actually placing it there. All they will see is the coin that is positioned on the table is covered with the matchbox and then suddenly ends up inside the box.

How to perform this trick

The magician will show the audience the half-open box of matches and the coin that is placed on the table. Then the magician closes the box completely and places it on top of the coin. When the box is lifted, the coin on the table disappears. The magician opens the box and the audience sees the coin inside the box.

The secret

The trick is to place another coin inside the box before the trick. Since the magician shows the audience the half-open box, the audience will not see the second coin. Also, the double-sided sticky tape is attached to the bottom of the box. When the magician places the box on top of the first coin, it just glues to the bottom of the box. The audience will think that the coin disappeared.

Items you'll need for this magic trick

  • Two coins
  • A box of matches
  • Double-sided sticky tape
