How do they do the 4 coin matrix magic trick?
The trick to a good Matrix is the smoothness that you pick the coins up and put them down with, then the pattern you use.\ It is best to do it on a slightly spongy surface. A big mouse pad is great, but even a thick tablecloth or placemat will work. To ‘steal’ a coin, pinch the bottom corner of a card, lay it over the coin you are going to steal- your thumb will be on top of the card, and your finger under it. Push the finger into the padding so it can pinch the edge of the coin against the bottom of the card and pick both up as one. Watch a video of the trick- in each ‘step’, you are dropping a coin off that you picked up the last time, or stealing a new coin. The pattern is the key thing so you don’t get mixed up, or get forced into awkward positions.
