coin tricks
Sleight of hand
Coin tricks are sleight-of-hand illusions performed with coins—making them appear, vanish, multiply, or pass through solid objects.
The genre includes classics like pulling a coin from behind someone's ear or making one travel between closed hands.
Coin magic requires precise finger manipulation and misdirection: He practiced coin tricks until the palming became invisible.
