Magnetic Coin Balance
|
| Description |
This trick involves balancing a coin edgewise on
another through the use of a
small magnet. |
| Start |
Find two coins that are made of the right metals, so that
they
are attracted by the magnet. Hide a small magnet between the thumb and the
first two fingers. |
| Directions |
Hold one coin (preferably one that is slightly larger than
the one to be
balanced) between these fingers as well. Place the second coin in an
edgewise
balance on top of the first coin and the magnet should cause it to
remain
balanced there. If you are careful you can even set the top coin
spinning! |

Finding coins that are attracted
to magnets will the tricky part. Many current coins are not so you
might have to look for older coins, or foreign coins.
