You're going to learn about the types of coins that you need to use for this particular trick. So Glenndolph, what kinds of coins do we need? Okay, the trick that I'm going to show you is going to work great with half dollars. And if you can place that in your hand, you can see the size of that. Yes. This is about the perfect size for my hand. Okay. Now if you have smaller hands, I'll demonstrate what the quarter looks like. And so you have a choice if you're maybe younger you can use the quarters. But a little bit older people with larger hands, the half dollars works great. The dollar size is probably a little bit too big, so I would definitely recommend the half dollar size coins. Okay, for my hand, which one do you recommend? Well actually your hand isn't that much smaller than mine. It isn't. So I would recommend the half dollar. It's the perfect size, it really is. Okay, great. So that would make the trick easier for me to do? Yes it is, it makes it that much easier. You'll see in the next section. Great. So that's the types of coins that we need."
