Hey Guys,
Last week I saw Jay Nobelzada's Video : In the Beginning There were Coins and I saw the coin bend trick. from this I made my own trick . It is a trick where you take 3 coins and you bend them in you fists. As im Australian I use the local 10c 20c and 50c peices. As you can tell I would have to switch normal coins in for the gimmicks which I made. This is where my problem begins. What switch should I use for this? And after I make the switch how do I ditch the normal coins which should be in my right hand?
Ok thats my problem this is what I do for my trick:
The Beginning
I secretly palm 3 bent coins in my left hand. I ask a spectator to give me a 10c 20c and 50c pieces which he has. Now I put these three coins in my right hand in an order of smallest to biggest where the biggest is on the top most of my right palm. This is to ensure that when i make the fake transfer the coins will be safely palmed and not fall out of my hand.
The Fake Transfer
For the fake transfer I literally let the coins talk ( rattle ). This is a way of misdirection and a subtlety which I found to work nicely. I dont know whether any magicians have made any transfers like this so for now let me call it my personal fake transfer till someone corrects me. Ok the transfer now. So up till now we have secretly hidden 3 coins in our left hand( classic palm )and now we are in position to classic palm the three coins in our right hand too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How the spectator sees it
If a layman was to transfer three coins from his right to his left hand how would he do it????
Well as the right hand ( with the coins) turned face down, the left hand would turn face up to catch it. Also the coins will talk as they fall and hit the other hand.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok using this principle I made a fake transfer. All of the about motions should be taken in account to make it as realistic as possible. As we are already ready to palm the three coins in our right hand, if we turn our hand over (palmdown) the coins wont fall as they will be palmed. So I use this same motion as I turn my left hand palm up. This take scare of the simultanious motions of both hands, but this does not make the coins talk as the coins dont actually fall to your left hand. To make the coins talk I jerk my left hand down wards as I turn the same hand palm up. This makes the coins stay in the air for a second then fall straight back to your left hand. These are the bent coins. As soon as this fake transfer is over close your hands quickly but let the spectator glimpse the coins to make sure they are there.
Ditch and Patter
Now we have three bent coins in our left which are bent and concealed under our tightly bent fist. and three coins palmed (classic) in our right hand which is not known to the spectator. The question now is how will we ditch the coin and what type of patter will we have to use for this. This is my main problem with the trick so here is what I do!
Tell the spectator to put his right on your left hand and tightly wrap it around your left hand. (This is some sort of misdirection) Ask them to make sure I do not open my hand Before I finish counting down to 0 from 20. ( this will make the spectator's attention stay on the left hand only). Now I ditch the coinsby simply putting my right hand into my pocket and dropping the coins. This is lame stupid and not a good way to ditch but it works. You are clean and you can now reveal when you finish the count down finishes. Here is the patter which I use exactly from after the left hand is known to have the "normal coins" by the spectator:
"See when I put these three coins in my hand and squeeze it with my left hand, my hand becomes really hot on the inside and starts to hurt my immensley so Bob (spectator) I want you to squeeze my hand really tightly and what ever you do do not let go until I finish counting down to 0. If I do get down to 0, the coins will... well watch for yourself....
20 .... 19 ... 18..... agggg 17 ... 16 ...15....14.... ahhhhahhh It burns...... 13.....12.....11.....10.... oh my god let go please ah.... 9....8....7...6....5...come on ... 4.....3...2...1....0....LET GO AHHHH.
Ok Bob ( in a panting voice like you atually got burnt) look at the coins...."
And thats it. Now The burning patter works becasue if you really do squeeze your hand tightly for 1 minute with coins in it, your hands turn red from the pressure and you will have coin marks all over your hand from pressure too.
And there we go 3 Way Coin Bender.Thats my version, and I need help for the ditch so could someone help??? I don't mind people tryign this trick or posting it on youtube or what ever but please give the acknowledgments to Ashwin Ramesh of Sydney, Australia.
Thankyou for reading and please try to help me. Hope you enjoy the trick if you can't help though.
ps. to bend coins use two pliers and you know bend the coin.
