Pencil Tap Coin Vanish is a great trick if you are a beginner at magic and want to start with using coins. This is a very simple vanish trick which with a little practice can look amazing.
The first things you need are a coin and a pencil. You can use a magic wand and a bigger coin as you get better at performing this trick.
The secret is in the flick of the coin and the catching of the coin. Once you have mastered that with practice, it will come very easily to you. Keep at it and you will look amazing in front of your friends.
You position the coin in the middle of your fingers. You tap the pencil down twice on to the coin, then the third time to gently flick the coin upwards in to the hand holding the pencil. Then dump the coin in your lap discreetly.
