This video reveals my perfect man: "He's got me rocking like Stephen Hawking .. Check out his hard drive, sets me to Warp Five .. I dream of him hooking up my ethernet cable and whispering in my ear about the Periodic Table .. Don't…
I honestly DON'T want to know how he does this. That was great.
That third one is the easiest: he's using a table with a rotating glass sheet, with a conveniently placed hole that's hidden under a teacup or bag of biscuits. The way the camera dips horizontal just before and after he puts his hand through the glass is a dead giveaway. You can even see his hand get tugged by the glass as it rotates back!
The second set are trickier. Maybe when he slams his hand against the glass one of the coins goes flying, while the other two are heavier and stay put? Maybe his ring is magnetic?
of the original coin tricks, bear in mind that not all of the coins he is using are real, and you don't know how many he has. all three tricks use the same prop.
if you're familiar with the chinese rings trick, the method here should be pretty obvious.
HJ hornbeck is correct about the table.
Great performer. Of course it is a relatively simple trick... all the good ones are. Still doesn't mean that it doesn't take impressive skill to pull it off. And being entertaining while doing it isn't very easy either ;)
I think two of the coins are magnetic, with rare earth magnets and when he wacks the glass, sufficient activation energy is provided such that they bounce up and attach together to appear as one coin. They could even be partial coins.
His ring is magnetic.
When he bashes the table from underneath, you can actually freeze the frame and see a bright shiny coin in his hand before he hits the glass. The three coins pop up and become two. Most of those coin tricks can be explained by magnets easily, and several require two coins to join up quickly and appear as one.
Anyone notice how the person sitting directly behind the performer is oddly sitting very low and isn't always clapping with everyone else? Maybe they are rotating the glass for the final trick. Good job on noticing the hand getting caught by the rotating glass at the end of the trick. At the beginning of the trick, notice how smoothly his hand 'slides' along the glass, and decelerates to a complete stop without skipping. Human skin on glass tends to catch - but his hand moved as if it was tight to the glass and the glass was moving. :)
