The first trick uses a coin that sticks to the magnet he has palmed in his right hand.
When he taps the cup up to the glass the one magnetic coin sticks until he lifts his right hand which moves the magnet and lets the coin drop back into the cup.
That is how I figured it as well Dennis. I think the black ring on his right hand is the magnet. Also if you watch close he puts his hand (with the magnet ring) flat on the glass , then he taps the dish of coins up under the glass and one of the coins is held in place under the glass because his magnetic ring is just above the glass. Then as he lifts his hand away the coin drops back into the dish.
I only know one magician card trick. I get you to pick up and observe one card out of the deck. Then I mix the cards up and spread them face down on the table in random fashion.
Then I get
you to keep choosing random cards that are eliminated from the table. Eventually there is one card left and it will be the one
you first picked out of the deck.
I never know which card you picked and because they are face down you will not know which one it is either but
you will leave it as the last one on the table
every time.
I can do it a hundred times over and it will drive you nuts because
you are the one picking the cards,
not me. It is like I confer my magic talents onto you and you perform
your own magic trick against yourself without
you knowing how
you even did it. Now that's real magic!!!
