Performance:
The magician, being a showman, removes his top hat, showing the hat to be empty, then begins reaching into the air in front of him, plucking a coin from thin air, then throwing the coin into his hat. As the spectator watches, the sound of the coin landing in the hat is noticeable. The magician then reaches into the air and grabs a second coin and throws the coin into the hat, then a third coin and a fourth coin, and continues plucking coins from thin air to throw them in his hat till he has 8 to 12 coins or even more in the bottom of the hat.
As you can see, with a nice trick hat, this illusion could easily be a way to pull a rabbit from a hat.
How it works:
The magician starts with a coin (a quarter or a fifty cent piece) in-between his thumb and palm. I learned this with my right hand, but either hand is fine.
To grab the coin out of thin air, the magician uses his pointer and middle fingers to grab the coin from its palmed position while reaching away from his body into the air.
Once the magician has grabbed the coin, he extends his fingers to show he has plucked a coin out of the air.
throwing the coin into the hat, bag, or bucket. The magician does not actually throw the coin into the hat, bag, or bucket. The magician simply reverses the steps above and places the coin back into the thumb-palm position.
The above is the bulk of this trick's practice until you are able to place and remove the coin from the thumb palm quickly and effectively.
How do the coins pile up in the hat, bag, or bucket?
In the left hand holding the hat, bag, or bucket, the magician has palmed several coins in a finger palm position with his fingers just inside the brim of the hat, bag, or bucket. As the magician pretends to throw a coin into the hat, bag, or bucket, he drops a single coin from his left hand into the hat, bag, or bucket and gives it a shake so that the spectator can hear the coins.
