Coins Through Table
Coins Through Table is considered to be a classic of coin magic,[1] where a magician appears to make coins penetrate a table. Being one of the most popular forms of coin magic, it is described in many magic books with many variations.
Effect
[edit | edit source]Usually the magician is seated at the table with the spectators. In most variations, there are several coins (though, some simpler versions involve a single coin)[2] that appear to be passed directly through the table, with some variations involving passing several coins one by one while others involve passing several or all at once.[3] Because some variations of this trick are impromptu, David Roth recommends this trick as part of dinner table magic.[4] The effect is described, with several variations in J. B. Bobo's book, Modern Coin Magic.[5] And in his eponymous book, Mark Wilson discusses a specific variation of this trick which uses a gimmick. In his show, Mindfreak, Criss Angel demonstrates a version of this trick, which utilizes a single coin, and then teaches it to the audience.[6]
