Hello guys and this is TheRussianGenius and I want to show you a coin trick which looks
just like this.
So look, we're going to grab a coin, there is it, and the idea is that the coin is going
to jump from hand to hand, so let me show you how it looks like.
Now I'm going to place it in my palm and then it jumps just like that.
Let me show you this one more time, just like that.
That is amazing, we can also do it like that, as you can see, it jumped from hand to hand
and then it jumps once again from hand to hand and then we can even take it one more
time and just like that.
Something like this.
So let's move on to the explanation.
Alright so for this you need a coin of course and the coin needs to fit into your palm and
a lot of magicians they use the half dollar or a whole dollar for this trick and I like
to use the half dollar coin for this and that is what most magicians they actually
prefer and this is a move which can be used for a lot of stuff.
This move can be used for like vanishes, we snap, the coin actually disappears and you
know, then you snap again and it reappears.
I know that I flashed right there, so let's do this again.
Can you snap?
The spectator snaps their fingers, I show them that it vanished and then by snapping
one more time it jumps again into the hand.
Now that can be the idea that you're holding the hand inside your palm and once you're
ready to muscle pass the coin you can snap your fingers and if you do it from the right
angle then it looks very good.
Gio Monti, he is a great magician and he showed me this where you take the coin, you know,
you make it vanish however you like and once you are ready then you can pass the coin from
hand to hand and he says that if you just block with the eyes and then snap the fingers
then it looks like the coin just reappears inside the hand.
So the idea is once you have taken the coin into your hand, once you make it vanish you
can actually come right here, snap your fingers and the coin reappears.
Now that's also something that you can use if you want to use the muscle pass.
Now let me show you how this is done.
Now if you want to learn this move as quick as possible then try to get something that
looks like a half dollar.
You can use a poker tip if you want to, if you use a poker tip then you can actually
shoot it very high in the air and you can also do this move without touching the coin
with these fingers so if you are in this position and you have it in the right place then you
can do it.
Dynamo he can do this move really good, Gio Monti he can do this move really good and
also David Williamson and Eric Jones they can do the muscle pass really good in my opinion
and it looks very good when they do it.
Now I have also seen another magician do something like this.
He borrows a coin from a spectator and he places the coin into his palm and he starts
to rub his fingers and when he rubs his fingers like this the coin jumps and lands on top
and that looks very good.
And he does it very nice.
I think it was Marcello Inzuela who did that at his lecture a few years ago.
So he borrowed my coin, he just placed it over there and he made it look very clean
where it jumped and it just landed on the fingertips and it looked really nice when
he did it.
Alright guys, so here is the explanation to this move.
You need to find the perfect position for the coin on your palm.
So you are going to palm the coin inside the classic palm on your hand and you need to
find the grip which works best for you.
When I learned this move for the first time then I used to do it always on the bottom
of the classic palm.
So I used to do it on the bottom of my palm and if you do this move on the bottom of the
palm it is going to be really difficult to shoot out the coin.
So whenever you are doing it try to put it around the middle close to your thumb and
you need to find the grip which works best for you.
And it is kinda like a classic palm but you still need to experiment a little bit and
try to find where it works best for you.
So this is what is happening when you are shooting the coin.
When you are holding it in this position it is exactly the same as if you were holding
it like this.
And this is exactly the same as this.
But you are just holding the coin in a better way and it looks much more impressive.
And that's how it looks like once again.
Once you have the coin inside your classic palm in the position which works best for
you then your thumb is going to push like this.
So your thumb is pushing downwards and while your thumb is pushing downwards your pinky
is pushing upwards.
As you can see like this.
That is how you are doing this and you are using this part of the muscle of your thumb
to do this.
So anyways when you are holding the coin in here in your palm your thumb is going to bend
down and your pinky is going to bend upwards and that makes the coin jump.
Now if your hands are wet that is going to be very difficult.
Make sure that your hands are dry.
If your hands are a little bit sweaty that is ok.
That will not be a big problem for the move.
When I practiced this move for the first time I used to do this.
As you can see I am squeezing very hard.
When I started to learn this move I used to squeeze really hard and nothing would happen.
After this my hand was always wet.
And let me show you this example.
I used to practice like this.
I used to squeeze as much as I could and every time I did that my hand would be really wet
in the end.
As you can see like right now.
Right now I have a mark on my hand.
When you practice this it is ok to have a mark.
Because every magician who used to practice the muscle pass they used to get a mark on
their hand.
So there is no problem of getting a mark.
Just make sure you do not hurt yourself doing this move.
That is one of the things that is good to remember.
If you cannot shoot out the coin.
If you try to bend your thumb and your pinky and the coin just does not pop out.
Try to put the coin a little bit more farther away from your palm.
And that way it is going to be easier to shoot the coin.
If the coin is all the way into the palm sometimes it can get difficult for the coin to pop out
of your palm.
So if it is all the way in the middle try to take it and put it a little bit away from
the palm.
But still somewhere near the palm and then shoot it out.
I have been practicing with the other hand but I cannot do this really good with the
other hand.
But sometimes I can shoot the coin on a little distance but not always.
So anyways guys thanks a lot for watching.
If you want to get better at the muscle pass then make sure to buy a giant protein shake
and buy a few pounds of protein powder.
So after your workout with your thumb then drink some protein so you can make the muscle
a bit bigger.
This has been a difficult move for me to learn and one of the things that I want you guys
to do.
I want you guys to practice on catching the move with your fingertips.
Now this is something that I do every time I am on a table because it is difficult to
catch on your fingertips all the time.
But if you can catch it on your fingertips that looks very nice when you do it.
