Coin Trick
Take a coin in each hand and stretch out your arms as far apart as you can. Then tell your audience that you will make both coins pass into one hand without bringing your hands together. This is easily done by placing one coin upon the table and then turning your body round until the hand with the other coin comes to where it lies. You can then easily pick the coin up, and both will be in one hand, while your arms are still widely extended. Knowledge is power and in the ancient world that power can be clearly seen in the belief that some people could do magic. These individual had knowledge of the natural world that was far beyond that of the common person. They used it to do illusions that appeared to be magic and were often know as magi and later as magicians.
