It’s a love hate relationship….coin and money magic. Some magicians love it. They are addicted to it. They can perform it anytime, anywhere. Other magicians hate it. They think it’s boring or uncreative. Perhaps that is simply because they have seen some poorly executed tricks.
If you fall into the latter category, you may want to rethink this. Coins magic is wildly successful and here are some reasons why you should be implementing it into your routines.
- Coin magic has a psychological affect on an audience. Maybe it’s people attachment to or love of money that has them be so crazy about those tricks. Or maybe it’s the anxiety they feel when their money disappears and the relief they feel when it reappears. This creates engagement! Who knows why, but people love it. So if you have no other reason, do it for that.
- Most of us will never know what it feels like to perform on the big stage, so at our level coins are really easy to carry around and bring out on the street, in a bar or restaurant, wherever!
- Borrowing someone’s money to do a magic trick with will automatically capture their attention.
- Card tricks really don’t seem “impromptu”, no matter how good the magician is. I mean, who carries around a deck of cards in their coat pocket. But everyone has a coin on them. It makes the magic appear to be completely spontaneous, leading to the wow factor.
- Learning coin magic is the absolute best way to work on sleight of hand. All the different sizes of the coins, and different weights, contribute to the dexterity that is needed to properly execute millions of magic tricks.
- The mechanics of coin tricks are so simple that it can have you really honing your misdirection skills.
- And finally, coin tricks can be done for all ages, and in all venues.
