"Hi, you are watching Arts and Crafts and Everything Fun. And today, we are going to have some fun with some magic for beginners. You are going to learn about the types of coins that you need to use for this particular trick. So Glenn Dahl what kinds of coins do we need? The trick that I am going to show you is going to work great with half-dollars. If you can place that in your hand you will see the size of that. Yes. This is about the perfect size for my hand. Now, if you have smaller hands, I will demonstrate what a quarter looks like.

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 is 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 will see in the next section. Great. So that is the types of coins that we need."
