Multiplying Money Illusion Magic Trick Revealed

Video Transcript

" Hi! This is Dave Foydel with expertvillage.com. I am going to teach you how to multiply your money. This next trick is the trick we all like to do, multiply the money. I have a regular quarter here, I will take it and split it into two 50 cent pieces, so I took 25 cents and made them one dollar. Here is how it works the multiplying your money. I have three coins, two half dollars and a quarter, you could use a dime and two nickels, because most people don’t have half dollars, Basically you put the two large coins together and grip them in between your thumb and pointer finger, with just enough room where you can grab the quarter. Now if you notice from then on, you really can’t see the half dollars anymore. They are just hidden right behind here. You can turn your hands from side to side, as long as that you are pointing them towards the person’s eye, he won’t be able to see those half dollars. I am going to tilt it here so that you can see what happens when I do the trick. As my other hand comes up and as I hit here, my thumb hits the quarter’s, pushes it behind and I separate just like that. So here is what it looks like from the front version; when you come up, I am going to hit this coin to the back, come out and separate with the two coins. Just one more time we are just going to try and slide this back here. As it comes out, you know I put the two coins together, really the third ones hidden behind, and I lay them in the palm of my hand and because those coins are bigger they hide the little coin underneath and as I pick them up, I just turn this hand away and close this hand holding that extra coin, then I can show these two coins, that is multiplying your money.
