Ben demonstrates how to produce a coin from Downs Palm. One wave of your hand and the coin will just pop into existence. How does it work? As you may have guessed, you are simply going in and out of Downs Palm. Simple enough, right? How does something so simple appear to be so magical, though?

Your hand is completely and undeniably empty. You make a fist and suddenly a coin appears? How is it possible? Another clever little production from Classic Palm, the L'Homme Masque Production, is how.

Using nothing but the production from Finger Palm, Ben shows you how to make a coin appear from your or your spectator's clothing. A pull there, a slight tug here and suddenly, a coin materializes right out of the material on yours or their shirt.

This is a production that works wonderfully at a dinner party. If you have a napkin or handkerchief accessible, you can perform this sleight. Your friends and family will be positively charmed when you produce a coin from the handkerchief, especially after you've provided ample proof that there w...

Now it's time for the fun stuff: vanishes. Kicking it off with an easy one, the Finger Palm Vanish. It depends upon your timing and ability to really sell a move. If you slack there, your audience will know something's up. You wouldn't want to expose this move, right?

This variation on the Finger Palm Vanish follows the same principles as its predecessor. It's all about your ability to sell your act, again. Even though you never actually pick the coin up, it'll look just like it evaporated as soon as it touched your fingers. One second it's in one of your hand...

This vanish is equal parts pretty and easy. The French Drop is a very popular and widely used sleight that every great magician should know. It's a highly versatile sleight, one that's not just useful in coin magic, but in sleights of all kinds. Mastering this move is sure to pay off in the long ...

Using the same mechanics, this variation on the French Drop packs in an extra illusion with its completion. Since you are vanishing multiple coins at once, you have the added bonus of sound. The clicking of the coins, while you're performing this vanish, is a value add that works to further convi...

Your audience will swear on their lives that they saw the coin enter your hand, no doubt about it. How can they be so sure of a farce? It's made possible thanks to something called retention vision or the persistence of vision. The visual perception of an object persists despite it no longer bein...

This next sleight takes everything you learned from the Thumb Palm and turns it into a vanish, instead of just a mere concealment. Similarly to the previous Retention Vanish, the audience will believe you've dropped the coin into your outreached and waiting hand. Instead of just not dropping the ...

As we talked about before, this move begins in open Classic Palm. This prepares the coin to easily transition into Classic Palm, readying it for the vanish. The audience will again believe the coin has dropped into your empty hand. Again, they'll be proved wrong when your unclenched hand reveals ...

Ben teaches you how to retain a coin with your fingertips. This allows you to complete another striking and wholly convincing vanish. This is helpful for when the retention vanish seems to take a little too long sometimes, and you need something a little snappier to match your style and speed. If...

This next brilliant vanish was created by the even more brilliant magician, David Williamson. After innocently tapping the coin with a pen of your choice, it will actually vanish right before your audience's eyes. You'll never close your hand or obstruct their view of the coin in any way. How is ...

The J.W. or Jimmy Wilson Vanish uses the mechanics you previously learned with the J.W. Grip. It's a top-notch coin concealment turned into one of the most striking and shocking coin vanishes in magic.

Ben introduces the next segment in this series, jumbo coins. They're big three-inch, metal coins that you can find in novelty shops, magic shops, or online. Jumbo coins are perfect for producing at the end of a coin routine for a big, flashy finish, from someone's ear, or you can use it for when ...

Ben demonstrates some of the basic grips you'll need to know when handling jumbo coins. The first grip up is the good old Tenkai Palm. This grip is the most popular and widely used when using jumbo coins.

An extension of the Tenkai Palm is this move, the Curl Palm. Curl Palm holds the coin along the middle fiddle and curls around it. This action creates a shield around the coin and frees up the thumb, allowing for you to multitask while hiding the coin. Maybe you could pick up a handkerchief or si...

Ben demonstrates what he uses to produce a jumbo coin from a spectator's ear. The Full Palm is almost like a classic palm done with a jumbo coin, but a bit different for some obviously big reasons. Your fingers will wrap around and over the coin, with your thumb running along its edge. This is th...

Now to move into some of the basic productions to be utilized with jumbo coins. Ben kicks it off with the Full Palm Production. To perform this you'll need to push your thumb underneath the coin, and kick it upwards to your fingertips. Keep in mind, the more of the coin you show and the less hand...

Now you'll learn how to produce a jumbo coin from a regular-sized one. Just like the Shuttle Pass, you'll be substituting one coin for another, just with a bit larger results. This is something that'll come in handy later when practicing the Flurry routine.

Moving on, Ben introduces some basic vanishes for when you're working with jumbo coins. Can you really still make a coin disappear when it's 5x its original size? You may pleasantly surprise yourself.

Just like the Toss Vanish, you'll be able to make a jumbo coin disappear by placing the coin into Tenkai Palm. This cover will hide the coin as you continue to act out the rest of the vanish. The audience will be none the wiser until you turn over your hand to reveal... the jumbo coin has been lo...

The last segment of this series sees Ben covering full-blown routines with coins, where you'll put everything you've learned so far together into a cohesive whole. You finally have all the pieces of the puzzle and are ready to present your finished product to the world. The first routine up is th...

Where are the coins? Which hand are they in? Where will they end up next? These are all questions your audience will be asking themselves when you perform Coins Across for them. You'll always be one step ahead of the curve. Or one coin ahead, should we say?
