Just a quick question, when you close you hand, how do prevent the coins from talking? Or is it impossible?

Before I start the effect I remind them that talking during my act is rude. If that fails I duct tape their little mouths shut to teach them a lesson.

Oh, not the spectators but the coins. How do you stop the clicks or them from hitting each other and making a sound

I think inigmntoya was talking about the coins, he may be suggesting to ductape the "little mouths" of.the coins, aka just the coins because they are what make the sounds.

I always close my hands around the coins and then reach in and take one out. I know that some people like to take the coin and then quickly close their hand, but that's not the way I like to perform it. It's a bit harder to do it my way because you'll often have to palm the s***l off... but I never really have that problem of the coins rubbing together.

But an interesting idea for troublesome spectators... Personally I've never really even thought about the coins talking. It's just not been a problem for me. Thinking about how I do things, I display the two coins, place them on my palm overlapping slightly. I grab the first [ by its edges with my thumb and middle finger, then as I turn my palm inward towards me and close my hand, I square everything up and lift off the [. Actually it's more the hand with the coins slightly dropping as it turns inwards and pulling away from the [ than lifting the [ off the coin. Any talking would be in the squaring action and I think that would be assumed to be consistent with removing a coin that was resting on top of another. |

I know inigmntoya was joking. But the kids that whose mouths I taped didn't find it funny. Anyway, it is the details of the movements that I am keen about. I think holding the [ and then turning the hand inwards, then lifting off the [ is a good sequence. The hand will be turned around by that time. Let me play around with it. Thank you.

Budja, there are a number of ways to do what is making the noise. Some may not be described as "in the mostly closed hand" but will still work there. Think about ways and try all - you'll find one (or more!) that fit best for you.

When I practice, I do so alone. This means it's usually peaceful and quiet in the room. See where I am going with this ? Rooms which contain people tend to have an ambient (background) noise level, which will mask most subtle sounds your coins make while discussing the latest news, ie. 'talking'.

I haven't done the standard routine in a while, but it seems that this wasn't a problem - you always end up with two coins, so noise is consistent with the perceived state of affairs
My concern is more the type of noise generated by this set is not always what you would expect.

That's Why I have a handling that's starts clean, and uses the rattle gimmick to make the right sound!!!
