If you're looking for an ice breaker in a social setting and aren't adept at creating snappy repartee, you can delight people with this simple trick. All you need is a coin and quick hands.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Put you coin in the crook of your elbow. Bend your arm so that your hand touches your shoulder. Wear a long sleeve t-shirt so that the coin cannot be seen.

  2. Step 2

    Practice extending your hand forward and down so that the coin falls into your hand.

  3. Step 3

    Hold the coin in your palm loosely. Use your lower thumb so that the coin is hidden in place while your hand is open.

  4. Step 4

    Reach out to someone's ear and flip your hand. Pull your hand away and show the coin that you have just pulled from behind that persons's ear.

  5. Step 5

    Astound your friends and family as you refuse to tell them the secret.
