Precise handling: how to balance one coin on top of another


The magic trick

The magician will show the audience how to balance one coin on top of another. The audience will see the magician place one coin on the top edge of another coin and balance it in such a way that the top coin does not fall down.

How to perform this trick

Before the magician performs the trick, he will show two coins, side by side, to the audience. Then the magician slowly turns the two coins, still being held next to each other, in such a way that one coin is on top of another. After that the magician takes his fingers of the top coin and starts making balancing moves.

The secret

To perform the trick and to make the audience believe, the magician needs to simply glue a match to both coins in such a way that the top part of the match is glued to one coin and the bottom half to the second coin. This will ensure that the coins are firmly connected to each other. When the magician balances the coins, they will not fall apart as they are glued to each other.

Items you'll need for this magic trick

  • Two coins
  • A match
  • A small amount of glue
