You invite a spectator to take a coin from their pocket and
behind their back to conceal it in one of their fists. They bring
their fists in front and time and time again you correctly
guess in which hand they’ve hidden the coin.
When the spectator brings their fists into view, you’re looking for
visual clues as to which hand contains the coin. Look for the
following:
i. The direction their nose is pointing – seriously!
ii. Which fist looks more clenched. Look for whiteness around
the knuckles.
You won’t necessarily get a match on both of these clues but since
you already have a 50% chance of getting it right just by guessing,
a hit in one of these significantly increases the chance of getting it
right.
Be prepared to get this one wrong occasionally. You can turn it
around and pay a compliment to your spectator, saying “You’re
really good at this!
Also remember to stop while you’re ahead. Correctly guessing just
3 or 4 times is enough to complete the effect. Don’t push your luck
by carrying on - because the spectator will then try to catch you out.
