Video Transcript

"Were back here with Glen the magician and now we are going to learn how to arrange the coins. OK, Grace so we have learned how to hold back that seventh coin when we pick up the sixth coin stack and were going to place them onto the table like this in front of the spectator, two rows of three. This is the first time that you will ask the spectator to go ahead and count the coins out. Great! So go ahead and do that. One, two, three, four, five and six. Excellent! Now what this does is it reinforces into the spectators mind that six are used because they counted it out and there are no more than six. Great! And notice how the hand is being held. And is there a particular shape that you prefer to arrange them? Yes, this is how there going to be picked up and during the trick so there will be three on one side and three on the other and this get me right into the trick. And its easier to count too. Exactly. Great so this how you arrange the coin and were going to the next step."
