IMPOSSIBLE COIN MAGIC THAT HAPPENS RIGHT IN YOUR GUESTS’ HANDS

Coin magic is one of the most visual, surprising forms of close-up entertainment. Using ordinary coins - the kind people carry every day - Slightly Unusual create impossible moments just inches from your guests. Coins vanish, reappear, melt through solid objects, jump between hands, and even appear in places no one expects.

​

A coin disappears from a spectator’s palm and reappears inside their closed fist. Multiple coins travel invisibly from hand to hand. A signed coin ends up somewhere completely impossible. Nothing looks prepared… and yet everything happens exactly as the magician says it will.

​

Performed with Slightly Unusual’s trademark comedy and high-energy style, coin magic becomes fast, fun, interactive and guaranteed to generate huge reactions.
