Professional magician, magic inventor, and magic teacher! This magic secret will reveal how to make the illusion of putting a borrowed coin through your head.
This is more of a silly sight than a real magic trick. Although you'll find that some people are very astonished by this! Here's how it goes:
NAME OF TRICK: "Coin Through Your Head"
EFFECT: A coin goes through your head (I bet you guessed that though.)
SECRET: Block your ears with your palms so your fingers touch behind your head. That's the secret. I'll explain:
METHOD: Put a coin in your right hand. Put both hands up to your ears as described above. This is where you act funny and make all sorts of silly faces.
While you're doing all of that silly stuff (actually called misdirection), your right hand slides the coin around the back of your head to your left hand. Take both hands away and triumphantly show that the coin has passed through your noggin! Talk about in one ear and out the other!
TIPS: Try to move your right hand as little as possible. If the audience sees your right hand moving, then it's a dead giveaway.
Also, make sure nobody is behind you...that helps too!
Now go practice!
