Explanation of Coin Fold Office Magic Tricks

Video Transcript

Hi everybody I'm going to show you how to the coin thing that we just did, this is actually a viral principal called the coin fold and this has been used for hundreds of years long as coins and paper have existed. Now one of the good things about index cards being made out of flimsy paper now you can use an index card for this. This use to be to thick for this but you want to get yourself a standard index card, I prefolded this one so I can show you without the coin. What we're going to do your going to fold the card so it's less than 1/2 you want to have a little overhang here and then you want to fold the edges over, not quit half way so this is sort of a general size that you want. You want to fold the bottom up this way, now what that does is when you put the coin in here that creates the little tube that the coin is going to slide right out of. Okay but we're going to before we do the bottom fold we're going to let the coin slide into our fingers like that, then we're going to fold this section up here just like this okay, and then actually the coin is missing and now you have this and you can tear that up. Now I've hidden another coin already under another index card but I want to show one other cool little thing you can do with this to kind of make it a little more mystical. Is when your doing this you can squeeze the quarter and kind of put an impression in the paper, don't know if the camera can see that but there a little outline of the quarter there in the card. So when you fold this up like this now even after the quarter slides out it's still looks like it's there and you can fold up the bottom piece so it's nice and sealed up in there. And then you tear this up the quarter is gone and we can reproduce it from under the index card, that's just a second quarter hidden under there. And I'll show you variations on that in just a second.
