How to Make Things Disappear - The Easy Way

Making things vanish is what magic is all about. Here's how to actually do it without spending years learning sleight of hand.

The Coin Vanish

Hold coin in right hand. Pretend to put it in left. Don't actually transfer it - palm it in right. Close left hand, show empty. Open right, coin reappears.

The Sugar Packet Vanish

Hold packet in one hand. Make a gesture with other. While moving, secretly drop packet into your lap. Show empty hand. Works great at coffee shops.

The Card Vanish

Hold card between thumb and finger. Close hand slowly while pushing card into finger palm. Open hand - card gone. The slow close is key.

The Phone Disappear

Borrow someone's phone. Cover it with a napkin. Under the napkin, drop it into your lap. Shake napkin - phone gone. Give napkin to them while you "find" phone elsewhere.

The Secret Nobody Tells You

It's not about the move - it's about the throw-away. Make a joke, look at something else, wave your hand carelessly. The moment you stop focusing, that's when the move works.
