Easy Magic Tricks: Elbow Coin Vanish

By Wayne Kawamoto, About.com

1 of 4

Here's an easy magic trick that allows you to vanish a coin. The coin seems to vanish into thin air and the trick is a great follow-up to another coin routine such as "Coin Through Table."

The routine requires no sleight of hand and relies on a bold move. At the end, the coin has completely disappeared.

Requirements:
A coin

Place your left hand so it's touching your left shoulder. Take the coin in your right hand and begin to rub it up and down against the forearm of your left arm, near the elbow.

For purposes here, we'll assume that you will be vanishing the coin by holding it with your right hand. If you wish to hold the coin in your left hand and vanish it against your right arm, simply reverse the instructions.
