  • lets face it

    if cris would have pulled this magic trick first of all his camera man (or whoever filmed the recording should not have moved the camera from filming him from his side to filming him from above that way we would have been able to observe his coins from underneath. second the camera switch a couple of times from him to the girls, third the coins color seem to change from gold to silver so something must have happened here, if he really switch the coins from one hand to the other, the coins color should not have changed. like it or not, agree or not this is my observance and my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. in short the guy is good and knows his moves by practice not spontaneously.

  • Geez you guys are stupid

    ITs all sleight of hand. Any good magician like myself could do that. You just need practice. He didn't use any trick camera crap either. Im sure that that is how its done.

  • 5 coins

    There are 5 coins...if you look at the video at 88 seconds you can see the 5th coin under his right arm in the shadow his arm makes. It also looks like he keeps the 5th coin at the start underneath the little padded overhand of the table. If you noticed, right before he starts his trick he brings his right hand back to the edge (most likely to grab it) and then the first 2 coins in one spot is on the closest right hand side.

    • edit

      make sure its in full screen mode to view it. And i meant overhang of the table not overhand :P. Either way he is incredibly fast at doing this trick

  • The trick is called coin matrix reminded

    He uses 5 coins(6 if you count the one he tosses back in the cup to make you believe he's got no other coins)
    Then he just slides one coin in and one coin out!
    You can find the trick on most magic sites

    This effect is very simple, but very effective. For those of you that choose not to believe the truth, you should, because there is of course 1 extra coin. The hiding techniques are just all about your slate, and your technique.

  • trick revealed

    i watched this movie some times, made pictures, thought a little, watched other version and recognized... it's so easy! and yes - you need five coins! look at the beginning of this movie when criss flipped the "fifth" coin into the cup.
    after this, he took the real fifth coin with his right hand to the edge of the table (you can't watch exact where he took the coin to, because the camera doesn't record it). the rest is simple!

    Many of you are missing many things in this move.
    first what dose the first girl say at the start of the film(Hi its been awhile)as in they have meet befor and its staged.
    2nd its not 1 film its 2 the start (where he shows his hands) and the trick.
    now to the trick itself he has a mecanism under his hands (weather it be magnets or some other rig)you can see it half way through the clip, watch his hands about at 1'25"

    • The matrix reminted

      He is only using five coins.The fith coin is in hand palm. he uses the fatty tissue on the bottom of his hand near the thumb to give the illusion that his hands are not touching the table when in fact they are. Criss has mastered this effect like every magic trick he does. with practice anyone can learn this but you have to pay to play. Go to penguinmagic.com and look for the matrix remintedfor video instructions.

  • SUCH A SIMPLE TRICK

    this trick is called ''Matrix'' or in this case ''Hand Matrix'' its fairly easy to do, he starts out with 5 coins and hides one in between his wrist and the table. It might sound crazy but i'm a magician myself, and perform this trick very often.. you can buy the secret at any magic shop available.

    of the hands is what it is. Being able to hide the coin. Sounds easier than done, I know, but it probably takes ages to master it. That's not so great, who's he trying to con???? Don't like him, think he's a freak. Looks like one anyway.

    Let's just say that every trick is a trick and not true magic.But sometimes you just have to give credit where credit is due!Criss has practiced this and other tricks for several hours and he must have been relentless until he got it right.It seems that enerytime someone on this site shows a talent they are either fake or not good at it ...I say put your money where your mouth is and show some of your talent! I would like to know how it's done so I can pratice myself!

    • if u want to know how to do it

      drop into any magic shop and check out the different matrix effects they have, there is a card matrix which is incredibly easy to do, the only difference with this and card matrix is that u cover the coins with playing cards

  • U can learn from the video clip

    I think, he may use five coines. he hide one. but, not so sure how he hide it in the beginning. watch the movement carefully he just add one coine in one hand and minus in another. practic more and we can play among our friends.

    • he took 6 coins first.

      I believe he took 6 coins first from the cup.
      He placed 4 down, then he tossed 1 in the cup to make the coin sound (a distraction) but he kept the last coin in his right hand (watch it closely), He palmed the coin very well allowing him to still spread his fingers. Notice the very first trick, an extra coin appeared from his right hand.

    • Yes,he used more than 4 coins.....

      he could have palmed the coins to make them disappear and just let go of the coins to make them reappear. Notice how he never uses the same hand to make coins disappear. He takes one coin using hand A and releases the coin on hand B. Then he takes the coin using coin B and releases the coin on hand A.

    • are you stupid ?

      he showed his hands and palms just before he started the trick they where clear ... no extra coin ... the one with the four coins ,one palmed and some magician wax in each palm is the one i know ... but he definetely didnt do that ... while changing it look like he has the raven but he couldnt because he has short sleeves and we would see it .... THATS WHY I LOVE CRISS ANGEL ! HE RULEZ ! NOBODY KNOW WHAT HE DOES ! KEEP AMAZING US MASTER !

    • Look !

      That was in camera angle A.(The one near the girls.)
      Then the camera switched to camera angle B.(The one over the table)
      Who knows what may have happened in between.
      As a not-so professional magician, I would have put more coins in my hand.(Or pay the girls)
      (They may be relatives though.)

      obviously you are not current within the magic community, there are tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of new effects being created all the time, take for example, wayne houchins, he has created an effect called sinful, and stigmata, then there is corey king who came up with the king rising levitation, then what about criss angels wall walk, and his levitation he created, they were all invented for the modern day audience, to be perfectly frank, most of the triks done back in the old days just cant be done these days cos many people just see through them (that is a generalisation by the way cos many old effects r still awesome)

      He crosses his hands once, and at that point the coins haven't moved. When he crosses them again, the coins move. If you watch closely there's no way he could've been transferring coins the way you suggest.

    No matter what I can't get into any of criss angel or david blaines tricks. I love a good magic act but they try to make people believe they really can do these things. There is always a catch. Always a prop. Always something fake. That goes without saying ofcourse, but my beef is with the people that that think its real lol.

The fact is the guy hung himself from a helicopter by hook's witch takes a mind state to be in that most of us dont have he had a hummer on top of him and as the illusion part he's brilliant so why try to make him seem like a bad guy? ITS A ART it takes time you tell me if you can do 80 percent of the things he does on his show then i'll respect you But right now you seem like the type of person that likes to tear peoples dream's appart there will ALWAYS be people that hate but have some respect for the guy he does his best from what I see :P :D 2 thumbs up for me and Chaongel No hard feelings..... -Words Of The Wise- .....Kid
