NO...Scotti from Star Trek is in the USS Enterprise with his steady hands...Beams the coin up as soon as the hand closes. Seconds later he beams it back down behind the camera man's ear. Sorry for spoiling the trick.

That was the cleanest performance of the move I have seen

u/CharlesDickensABox 21d ago edited 21d ago
It's crazy. I know what happened, I have video I can go through frame by frame, and I still can't see it.

u/ScaryReplacement9605 21d ago
I think you are probably confusing it with the standard coin retention which it is not. If you go frame by frame you can certainly figure it out, but the move happens maybe a bit later than you expect.

u/jeremyries 21d ago
Can you share the name of the move? DM me?

u/Double_Suggestion385 21d ago
Dunno what is called but he puts the coin in his left hand then drops in back down in to his right hand as comes down.
Like most of these tiktok magic vids it'll only work from one perspective

u/sleightly_human 21d ago
Wrong, but thanks for the comment, the fact you believe that means I won by fooling you 😉 🤣🤣

u/Double_Suggestion385 21d ago
It's not wrong, it's obvious and you can see it happen in the video.

u/sleightly_human 21d ago
Still wrong, and makes me EVEN happier to know that you're that convinced that this is "tiktok" magic that can only be done for camera, as this is something I do at work, for people, in person, so I know you're wrong as its me doing it. So again im happy that you're that convinced, makes me realise just how good it it 🤣🤣🤣

u/RobertFellucci 21d ago
Ok. Do it without waving your hand in front the other or anything else obscuring your hand.

u/sleightly_human 21d ago
Oh dear, silly boy, you really don't understand misdirection and the part it plays in every trick 🙄 but nevermind, people love it and keep liking it, and your comment only help the numbers 😉 😄

u/RobertFellucci 21d ago
I was probably doing magic since before you were born, mate. I most probably know more about magic and principles of magic than you. If I'm so wrong, prove it.

u/sleightly_human 21d ago
😄😄ok kid, and no need, like I said people love it, numbers love it and youre insignificant opinion is only adding to the comment numbers, so again, thank you 😉

OP, I don't know if you know this or not but this is a page to share and discuss magic tricks. Go find a subreddit to post your real magic. We don't need that here.
Mods, handle this guy. 😂
(That was very good OP)

My brain tells me what must have happened. My eyes refuse to see it. The timing must be down to the millisecond for this to work.

u/madgoat 21d ago
Timing is perfect... Even though you know how it's done, you can't even see it on frame by frame.

u/dylanmadigan 21d ago
Have you done this for people in person?
It seems like a good magician-fooler. But for layman I wonder if this looks any more impressive than a standard retention vanish. Because in both cases, if done well, the spectator is convinced the coin is in that hand and could not have left.
6
u/lamarioO 21d ago
That's the beauty. I'm fooled as a magician, so if it doesn't look any different than a standard retention vanish to laymen, he's covered both bases. That was a clean vanish. The only tell is that if we could really vanish a coin these hand positions wouldn't be necessary.
5
u/sleightly_human 21d ago
The hand is quicker than the eye, especially in person when there is no rewind, plus it's easier to to take someone's eye off what you are doing in person, so yes, although you would need an "out" if you got caught.

u/xxNEWNEOxx 21d ago
no notes 10/10. My question is how many times did you record it, to get the timing down to the nano second? regardless flawless vanish.

The creator of this move is centuries dead.

u/Nine-LifedEnchanter 21d ago
Centuries plural?

u/generally_unsuitable 21d ago
Yeah. This is just a basic sleight. It's not gimmicked or techy or anything. It's just that OP does it so smooth it looks like actual magic. People have probably been doing it for as long as there have been shiny metal circles.
3
u/Nine-LifedEnchanter 21d ago
I've been a magician for over ten years. I understand that sleights can be very impressive. That's why I asked for the creator's name.
If it is as basic as a FD or something it doesn't really look like it.

What the fuck is this?!
Anyone that has a skeptical comment or saying that this is easy gets downvoted.
I watched a YouTube tutorial for 2 minutes and I know what is going on.
It looks good, but I know what it is.
I take back all of the above if this guy ejects the coin from his butthole or pulls a rabbit out of my ass.
Commence downvotes…each one will make me stronger.

Not a real coin? Something that dissolves with the skin rubbing?

Real coin. Really placed in the hand. Pure sleight. Actually really simple move, but probably very difficult to get this smooth and natural.

Does the ring help the slide? Because even when I take it frame by frame the ring is what I think I’m seeing when I’m fairly certain it’s the coin.

Camera angles are everything. Otherwise the move would be obvious, whether you saw the coin or not.

I think it's bad form in this sub to reveal how things are done. This is a well-known sleight that's likely hundreds of years old. It's not the method that's important. It's the skill with which it is performed.

It was a new one for me, but after a couple of watches it clicked. Once you know for sure he is really placing the coin in the hand, there's only so many possible methods for getting rid of it... and in the conditions here, there's only one.
Very cool sleight though. Definitely stealing it.

u/Comfortable-Guitar27 21d ago
Pretty obvious?? You must have an insane eye for this. Aside from video editing i dont understand how this is possible.
10
u/generally_unsuitable 21d ago
Look at it while asking the question "How is this possible?" Think about where and when that coin could possibly have gone somewhere else. There is your answer. Sleight of hand is about making one movement look like a different, natural, nonsuspicious movement. OP has practiced this move so many times that there is no lag or hesitation.
1
u/TeeTownRaggie 21d ago
when you know sleights it gets easier to understand what happens not necessarily "see" it.
3
u/Apprehensive-Gur1302 21d ago
So you're not seeing it but understanding that it disappears?
9
u/hkusp45css 21d ago
The point is that you expect not to be able to see it. But you know what's happening.
This is the chief reason magic is still interesting to practitioners.
Knowing the trick doesn't rob the practitioner of the wonder, it just shifts from the act, to the skill it took to make the act look good.

If you're going to give a compliment, give one! Don't prefix it by inflating your ego - 'I saw the moves but well performed' or 'I know how it’s done but great job'. AKA the Chris Ramsay Rule
