Free coin magic tricks are all around you. When you need a magic trick that is easy to find and easy to learn, go for coin magic tricks. With not too much trouble, you certainly could overcome the need for being dextrous with just a little practice.

Redirecting the attention of the audience is the most you have to do to unload the coin easily while doing the simpler coin magic tricks. Boring and just does not work. To put it mildly, one needs to have a little more spark or flash.

There are lots of free coin magic tricks out there that can be used and they are fairly easy to learn but seem to be difficult.

One of these tricks uses a glass, a string, and some sticky substance like wax. Make sure your clothing has buttons down the front and that you are standing some distance from the onlookers. Get the coin from the audience.

To perform the trick, start with tying one end of the string to a shirt button, then dab some sticky stuff, wax or whatever you have, to the other end and press that end against another shirt button to hold it in place temporarily. Anyone watching you should not see any of this.

Have someone in the audience give you a small coin. Pulling off the trick depends on the weight of the coin, make sure it is light. Get the coin from the audience, and press the small gob of wax to it without letting anyone see you do it.

The trick here is to hold the glass in close proximity to your body when you drop in the coin, and make the coin look like it is walking up the inside of the glass into your hand. What makes the coin walk is the string attached to it.

Without the audience seeing what is going on, extend the hand with the glass in it away from you and move it just a little bit so you will hide any little jerks or jiggles on your part that will give you away. It’s amazing but it works; move the hand holding the glass slowly away from you, and the coin just travels right up the side of that glass without a hitch.

As you have waved your other hand around to look like you were helping the coin to walk up the glass, your hand is now outstretched near the glass and you can make the coin seem to jump into that hand as the coin tops the glass. You can really move your hand around now so the audience can see that there is nothing attached to your hand that made the coin walk.

Remove the wax without anyone seeing and return the coin to its owner. That sure was a neat trick, and fun to do. And that was just one of lots of free coin magic tricks available to you.
