(Upbeat music) - [Camera Man] Spidey, we got Spidey in the house and he's gonna perform some magic today for Lee. So, Spidey take it away. - Thanks man. Do you have a quarter I can borrow? - Yeah. - Try something with this quarter. I'm gonna draw something, test my artistic abilities here. Be honest with me, do you have any idea what that is? - [Lee] Screaming face? - It's a ghost. - [Lee] Oh, nice. - Close enough, it's a ghost, see. Give the ghost a name. What his name? - [Lee] Antoine. - Antoine. So put an A on the back of that coin to symbolize Antoine. Good. You can go ahead and cap the pen. So, we have A for Antoine and that's Antoine. You can see that right? You can remember what he looks like, very particular face. - He's not good looking that's for sure. - We're gonna put that in here. I want you to put your hand on top of that coin like that exactly and isolate that there so Antoine can not leave. I'm gonna use a napkin for this. So I'm gonna ball the napkin up. Place it inside the shooter glass, you see that and then cover it with that. So there's no way I can access that. - No. - Great. Now I've heard a myth, that ghost can go through solid objects. So, we're gonna put that to the test. We're gonna put, you see Antoine right there. - Yeah, yeah. - We're gonna fold it up to test and see just how much solid he can go through. You can see him in there? - Yeah. - Fold it all up, make sure on all sides. Like this and the last one goes like that. All folded up, you can see him trapped inside there. The last thing we need is a light. Do you have another lighter on you? - Nope. - I think I have one, I have one. It's good. No problem. You can still see him in there, right? Watch. All you have to do is put a little bit of light like this and ghost are scared of the light. So that scares him away. Check it out, you saw him all wrapped up inside here. - [Lee] No. Really? - Gone. (Laughs) - I don't wanna touch anything. He goes through this solid paper, through this solid glass, lift the glass. - No. - Yup, grab the napkin. Unball the napkin, I don't even wanna touch it. And inside the napkin- - [Camera Man] Show both sides. - It's Antoine! (Laughs) Dude! - [Spidey] He made it, dude! - That is actually really good. - Thanks. Through solid. - Yo! What's up, guys? Welcome back! Hope you enjoyed that performance by my good friend, Spidey over here. Spidey, by the way, congratulations, just hit 100,000 subscribers! Massive milestone by the way, on YouTube. - Thank you, man. Thanks for all your help. - You're welcome. If you're not already subscribed to Spidey, go ahead and do so. I left his link below. He's gonna teach us a cool little magic trick here using a coin that you guys can perform around the holidays or Halloween or whenever actually you wanna perform it. - I mean, it's a great bar trick. The presentation here is very Halloweeny but anytime you're at a bar, these are all things you can find at a bar. - Don't ever say Halloweeny on my channel again. (Laughs) Also, Spidey teaches a whole bunch of mentalism and hypnosis tricks so you should really go subscribe to him if you aren't already. Today, this trick is pretty cool because it does use a borrowed quarter from the spectator. It uses napkins, which you'll find at a bar, it also uses shooter glasses which you'll find at a bar, and a glass and a Post-It but that could also just be- - Just paper. Any paper. - Could be anything. Okay, so... Really, you don't really need to have anything on you so if you're ever stuck at a bar scene and you have to show someone something, find these objects and you can make some really incredible magic happen. - Yeah, and that's a really great point cause that's how this came about. I wanted to do nest of wallets, and I was at a party and I didn't have my nest of wallets so I just made this up. Like here it's not organic, but you're at a party or bar these are all things you can easily find. - I love how Spidey's in a pinch, he just makes up magic. Pretty sick. - Yeah, I just needed to do something. - So without any further ado guys, like this video if you do enjoy this content and you wanna see more tutorials go ahead and smash 'Like', subscribe, without any further ado let's get into learning this. I wanna learn this, I want you guys to learn it so let's go, we'll get a top down rig and get started. - [Spidey] So here's what you need to perform this effect. You need two shooter glasses, a marker, two quarters, a regular glass, a lighter, pieces of paper and some napkins Okay so let's learn the effect. To prepare for the effect, you're gonna need to grab a quarter or any coin from your country and you're going to on both sides make three circles like this. And you're going to do this on both sides, so I've got it on that side and I've got it on that side. This coin is going to go either in your right pocket or if you're sitting down like this and you're comfortable, you're gonna balance it on your lap. That's what I did in the performance, but I've done it both ways. I'm gonna go ahead and put it in my pocket. You're also going to need a lighter, now this isn't 100% necessary it's just for this presentation I use the lighter, it doesn't help for the method only for the story, the presentation. That's gonna go in my back right pocket. I've got pieces of paper, I love to use Post-Its for this and we'll talk about why when we get to that part. And a marker. You are now ready to do this. All the other stuff are things that you're going to borrow and kinda make it look like you're custom making as you're going along. This trick has a very impromptu feel that I love. So now that you're ready to go, the rest of the stuff is stuff you're going to borrow. This trick has a very impromptu feel that I really enjoy. The first thing you do is grab the stack of napkins, and you're gonna give that top napkin, the top fold of that top napkin a bend like this and you're gonna crease it. That's because when you grab that napkin you want the whole thing to just open up naturally. This is something you can do right in front of them, doesn't matter. Just a fold right there. Now you're gonna ask to borrow a coin, and you're gonna ask to borrow or you're gonna, you know be at the bar or party you're gonna grab a glass, this can be any glass, wine glass, beer glass, whiskey glass, anything. And two shooter glasses. You're going to borrow the coin and on one side of it on the heads side, I'm gonna make the ghost again from earlier. So I'm gonna do the three dots like this. And I'm gonna ask my spectator to name the ghost. So here I go, do you know what this is? It's a ghost little bit of fun comedy there. And you ask them to name the ghost, and let's say they call it Ramsay. So you say, okay put an R on the back of that for Ramsay. So they're gonna put an R on the back of that coin. Now while they're doing this, you are secretly grabbing the other coin that you prepared earlier in your pocket. So you can naturally just get your hand into your pocket like this or you can make it look like you're still looking for your lighter or something like that or naturally just go to the pocket. Grab that coin and you're gonna put it in finger palm. Finger palm looks like this. It's gently curled. The fingers are gently curled around the coin like this. So from the front, if you're resting your hands like that it doesn't look like much but you secretly got that coin over here. Palmed. Now they've signed, the ghost coin, it says R. And on the other side, is the ghost itself. So at this point, you're gonna do the Bobo switch with a great natural justification. The justification is you're showing the ghost, then you're showing the initial so there's this natural throw that you need to do to show it. The Bobo switch looks like this. Bobo switch is named after it's creator, Bobo who wrote Modern Coin Magic. And the Bobo switch happens as you're throwing the coin that's one, that's a real throw. Show the ghost, then you grab it again with your thumb and index, throw it again to show the initial. And on the third throw, you're pinching this here you're throwing the hidden coin from finger palm and then this coin is going into finger palm. And that's the Bobo switch. So again, you've got the coin with the initial, (Blows) you can say look that's R and that's it I just did the switch. Now this is my previously prepared coin with the ghost on both sides. And their coin with the initial is in my finger palm. Now I want this to land heads up ideally. Because the person who signed it knows that they put the initial on the tails side. But to help myself, what I do is I like to have spectators on both sides so as I do the Bobo switch I turn a little to my left to show these guys so he can't really see it. That's just a nice little subtly. So that even if it lands the wrong way the ghost is still there. And you're over here, he can't see at that point that that's the wrong side and they don't know cause he's the one that signed it. So if you have spectators on both sides, this is a good point to turn here like this. Now you're gonna place that inside the shooter cup. And again, ideally you want this to fall face up in there so that the person who signed it, if they were to look in there - let me get it heads up, there we go if the person were to look in there they'd see exactly what they're suppose to see. Which is the heads side with the ghost on it. Now in the performance when I did it, as the coin fell in it flipped over and it was tails side up. Lee was sitting next to me, he was the one who signed it. Lee, be honest, Lee's behind the camera, did you have any idea that this was the wrong way inside the shooter cup? - [Lee] No idea. - You didn't because what you're doing is you're keeping it in motion, all they're seeing is that ghost, they don't have time to register if it's heads up or tails up. So you put this down and also immediately you'll put your hand on top and I'm covering that so he only has a second to see that. So the whole choreography is actually pretty quick. You've got this in your hand. You've got that there, you go (Blows) that's the ghost (Blows) his name his Ramsay and we're just gonna go ahead and put that in there and I want you to put your hand on top. It happens very quickly. Now that's there. Now I'm gonna grab a napkin. To do that, I'm just gonna grab this folded corner and pull. And what happens is naturally that whole napkin just opens up that's why I put that folded. You don't want to be fiddling with it trying to open it up. Display the napkin, we're using something called Ramsay subtly. [Guy] : Hey! - It's amazing how you invented that like 200 years ago. (Laughs) Who was it? What was the legit guy? It wasn't Chris Ramsay? [Guy] : Gordon. - Gordon Ramsay. We're gonna cut that. Beep. This is called, Ramsay Subtly it's name after the most famous magician with the last name Ramsay ever in history. And basically it means, if you're holding something up like this and your fingers are curled, the palm looks empty. Because there's a coin here but I'm holding that so it's kinda showing the palm empty without showing the palm empty. So you're gonna hold the napkin like this and now you're gonna ball it up by loading the coin in there. So I mean, there's really no details here, any subtleties. You're just gonna kinda do this and then as you're balling it up you leave the coin in there. That's it. Now they think this is just a balled up napkin. That goes in a shooter glass and then the other glass again this could be beer glass, cocktail glass, whiskey, wine whatever goes on top like that. You've created an impossible location right in front of them. Now comes the last part which is the coin vanish. Now if you know any good coin vanishes, by all means use that, it eliminates the need for the paper. You can do any coin vanish you want. Dump the coin out, display it like this. Make sure it's heads up so even if this guy sees it and remember he signed the tails side, there's nothing wrong that's exactly what he's supposed to see. And you can do any coin vanish if you want to use, you know like whatever you wanna use. I love the coin fold for this though, let's learn it. So for the coin fold, you need a square piece of paper just like that. Now it doesn't have to be a Post-It, I just like Post-It for this cause they're the perfect size and easy to carry around. Here's what the coin fold looks like. I'm gonna teach this to you using the Post-It. So I'm holding the Post-It with the sticky side downwards and up here. This is where it's sticky. The coin goes in the middle but towards me. So it's in the middle in the horizontal sense but it's closer to me. The Post-It is gonna fold backwards like this and it's gonna fall about half an inch short. So you can see that there's about half an inch of extra space there. Now I'm gonna rotate counter clockwise and I'm gonna fold this backwards about there. So about three quarters of an inch in like this. Now the coin is there. I'm gonna flip 180 and I'm gonna fold this one inwards as well. Now you don't want it to be super tight up against the coin. You wanna give a little bit of space between the coin and this fold for that coin to be like loosely moving around a bit in there. So this folds in as well. So I can see that coin right now, it's loose it can move around it's got a bit of space. Now I'm gonna flip the whole thing over, like this. And now this extra lip over here, is gonna fold towards myself. But before I do that, my finger is gonna go down here into this opening cause there's that opening where the coin is. My finger is gonna go right in there, because I wanna make this a bit of a bubble. To make that coin sliding out a lot easier. So this is happening down here, they can't see it. It's just real quick. And then that extra lip over here is folding in like this. Now because you're moving this around and rotating it they think that you 100% wrapped the coin up in there. Lee, in fact, when we stopped filming earlier, you were like I don't even know how the coin came out of the paper cause you were convinced when I did this that it's really wrapped up from all side, correct? [Lee] : Exactly, yeah. - They can also see the shape of the coin there, because the paper when you press it, it kinda takes the shape of that coin. Now here's the other reason I really love the Post-It here. When I turn up here, the sticky side is against my fingers so all I have to do is completely let go of the thumb, watch what happens, I'll do it from this angel so you can see it. If I let go of the thumb, that coin slides right out. Because this is stuck to the fingertips it makes the coin flip a lot easier. So that coin falls right out and into my hand and this happens as my left hand is looking for the lighter. Say 'Do you have a lighter? I think I have a lighter?' Left hand pats my pants like this looking for the lighter now that the coin is slid out into my hand, I pass just the paper into my left hand as my right hand moves away keeping that, sliding that coin into finger palm and I go for my lighter that is in my back pocket. At this point, I leave the coin in that pocket. Come out with the lighter. And that's it, you're done. You're so far ahead. They think that their signed coin is inside this paper. Not only is there no coin in this paper, but their signed coin is already inside that napkin. So milk it here. This goes on top of the glass - - Oh! I'll give you a real Ramsay Subtlety - - The ding ding ding? - Yeah, so once you're here, you can actually convince them that the coin is still inside here by banging on the glass. Not bad right? Just a little subtlety you can do if you're wearing a ring you can actually bang it. Take it or leave it, you know what. Have fun. - The other subtlety is that because the paper was pressed against the coin there's still that ring in the paper so when you put it down, it really looks like the coin is still in there. Like that shape is still there. So now you have the lighter, in this presentation I say 'Ghosts are scared of light' and I just give it one of these. Here's another hot tip for those of you who have flash paper or use flash paper in your magic, if you do the coin fold in a piece of flash paper this is a beautiful moment. You light it, the whole thing goes (mimics flame sound) and the whole coin is just gone. I do that a lot as well if I remember to bring my flash paper. Now you pick this up, you unfold it at the fingertips like this and really don't underestimate this moment. That coin is gone. They have no idea how that happened. Now you don't touch this, your spectator themselves lifts the glass, picks up the napkin, unfolds it and they go nuts when they find inside the napkin, inside the shooter glass inside the cup, is their initialed ghost. Coin drop! - All right, well that was it. Hope you guys enjoyed that. Hope you took some notes and get to practicing. By the way, if you noticed this is the first hat, we got the first shirt, we got the bombers on the way. Everything else guys, I don't know if by the time this video is released if that'll be out, probably not so stay tuned for the release of the merch! - Do I get one for being here today? - Yeah, I'll definitely send you a link where you can pre-order. Guys, thanks Spidey, thanks so much man. Guys, do me a favor go ahead and subscribe to Spidey's channel for more magic and we'll see you on the next video. Peace! (Upbeat music)
