Free Magic Trick - Coincidental

This is a great mental coin effect you can do anywhere.

From a small envelope, you remove a penny, a 5p and a 10p. You ask a spectator to choose one.

He says, 'The penny!'

You say, 'Great! Turn over the envelope!'

He does, and on the envelope is written, 'I just knew you would choose the penny!'

Secret of this FREE Magic Trick.

You will need - A small envelope, A penny A 5p and A 10p,Two small pieces of paper

A pen, Double-stick tape or paste Scissors

(Of course, you can substitute any three coins you wish!)

To prepare this free magic trick :

On the front of the envelope (the side without the seam), write 'I just knew you would choose the penny!' in ink.

Then, take the small paper and cut it to about 3' x 3' square.

Write on it, 'I just knew you would choose the 5p!'  Fold it into quarters and put it into the envelope.

Lastly, on the back of the 10p, paste or tape a small piece of paper, that you've cut to the size of the 10p, onto the back of the 10p. On the paper, you would have written, 'I knew you would choose me!'

To Perform this magic trick :

Take out the envelope, writing-side down, so no one can see the prediction.

Remove the three coins, being careful not to (a) expose the paper inside the envelope and (b) expose the prediction on the reverse side of the quarter.

Say, 'Because I am a good judge of people, I can predict certain actions. For instance, with these three coins, I can predict certain outcomes.'

Ask the spectator to point to one coin.

Now... there are three outcomes to this effect:

If he points to the penny, you say, 'Ah! I knew it...!' You now gather up the three coins and at the same time say, 'Turn over the envelope!'it the coins in your pocket and pocket the envelope. (The prediction reads, 'I just knew you would choose the penny!')

If he points to the 5p, you say, 'Ah! I knew it...!' You reach into the envelope (without turning it over!) and pull out the folded prediction. Say, 'Read this!' While he reads the paper, you gather up the three coins, dropping them into the envelope and pocket the envelope. (The prediction reads, 'I just knew you would choose the 5p!')

If he points to the 10p, you say, 'Ah! I knew it...! Please turn over the 10p!' (The prediction reads, 'I knew you would choose me!';) Then, just gather up the coins and drop them into the envelope which goes into your pocket.

A very nice mental magic trick that's extremely easy to do!
