Start the Magic Trick
Step1
Make a "C" shape with your hand by placing the thumb on top and the fingers on the bottom.
Step2
Place the coin inside the "C."
Step3
Pretend to grab the coin and enclose it in the opposite hand. While your opposite hand briefly blocks the hand holding the coin, let the coin drop into the hand holding it. The coin should land at the base of your fingers. Hold it in place with a finger palm.
Step4
Switch from a finger palm to a classic palm. Do this by allowing the coin to drop from the base of the fingers into the center of palm.
Step5
Wave the fingers on the original hand across the closed hand. Some magicians prefer to blow air into the closed hand or say magic words.
Step6
Open the hand and show the front and the back of the hand to the audience.
Finish the Magic Trick

Step3
Tap the top of the closed hand.
Step4
Open the closed hand and reveal the coin.
