Coin manipulation

Coin manipulation

Coin manipulation is the art of manipulating coins in skillful flourishes, usually on or around the hands.[1] Although not always considered coin magic, the tricks are sometimes used in magic shows. The difficulty of the trick ranges greatly, from some that take a few minutes to accomplish, to much more complex ones that can take months, even years, to master. One of the most well-known tricks around is the coin walk, one of the more advanced tricks.
