[Video Transcript] Coin Bar Tricks: Big Coin Lil Coin
Hi! This is Reese Richards from barsandbartending.com with another bar trick tutorial. This trick is called “Big Coin, Small Coin” and whatever you’re from just get a larger coin and one that slightly smaller. OK. In Canada, a quarter and nickel or quarter and five cents, 4 cents and 5 cents works as well. And you’ll need a small square piece of paper. To set the trick up first, you fold the paper in half and then fold it in half once more. And then you want to take the small coin and to get the size of the coin here you’re going to place the double folded edge.. you’re going to place this in to about the center so that one quarter of the coin… ok, you want that in the center. And you’re going to tear that piece away. Ok, throw that away. And when you open up you should have a hole that fits the coin. So this coin, because it is the same size of hole fits through the paper. Now the bet is: Can you fit this coin through the paper (without tearing the paper of course). Can you fit this coin through the paper. So you can see that even if you have the coin in the center here, it does not go through, it will not fit
without tearing the paper. So you can let them play with that for a little bit and then you take it back. And you put it into this position here just like we had it. So fold it over here and put the coin in the center. So the coin is hanging down here and then you just want to bring up the edges a little bit so the coin will fall through. Ok again, you are just bringing the edges up this way and it widens the circle. And the quarter or larger coin will fall through. This has been a bar trick, tending tip tutorial from barsandbartending.com.
