The term "coin magic" is self explanitory--magic with one or more coins of the same or differing denomination. Coin magic is one of the least popular forms of close-up magic partly due to the necessity of great skill and grace to perform convincingly.

Coin magic is highly respected among magicians and manipulators and usually well recieved among all audiences. Illusions with coins usually have a significant impact on the observer because they are very common and people often have less suspicion that the item is gimmicked. Coins are also "power symbols and this allows people to feel more of a connection to the illusion.

More to come soon.
