The size of the coin is important in coin magic tricks.

The pinch drop coin magic trick is a variation on the French drop way of making a coin disappear. Hold the coin and between your thumb and the tips of your first three fingers of your right-hand. Bring your left hand over your right as though to grab the coin from your fingertips. As your left hand appears to take the coin, drop it into a finger palm of your right-hand. Drop your right hand to your side and hold it naturally while bringing your left fist up to your mouth to blow on. Follow your left hand with your eyes. As you blow, open your fingers to show the empty hand. Always open your fingers slowly to build the anticipation. This is part of your presentation. While you are showing your empty left hand and the audience is distracted, move the coin in your right-hand from finger palm to classic palm.

Show both sides of your left hand to show it is empty. To make the coin reappear, create a fist with your left hand, make sure that your thumb is over your fingers and that there is a gap between your fingers and the palm of your hand. Keep your hand a little relaxed, so the coin will slip in easily. The coin must be held in classic palm of your right-hand. To move the coin from finger palm to classic palm you need to use your fingers to push the coin into position. As your right-hand comes over to rub the back of your left hand, you let the coin drop onto the gap next to your thumb and let it work its way down as you rub your hand. When the coin is in position you can do your magic by blowing on the hand or clicking your fingers then opening the hand to show the coin.

These are some fundamental and basic methods of making a coin disappear and reappear. You need to learn and understand them as they form the basis for many coin magic tricks.
