Effect

The Canon Coins trick involves a series of stunning coin routines where coins appear to defy physics. In one routine, two coins visibly pass through the bottom of a glass, followed by a third coin materializing unexpectedly. Another routine, Phantom Coins, makes coins appear and vanish without the use of a glass, creating a baffling visual effect. The Metal Bending routine features coins appearing one by one after a performer blows into their hand, while a Jumbo Coin Production adds a dramatic finale.

Full details

Canon Coins is a collection of advanced coin routines that rely on specialized grips and passes, including the HD grip and Canon pass. The routines include:

  • Coin Through Glass – A single coin visually penetrates a glass with built-in misdirection.
  • Canon Coins – Two coins pass through a glass, followed by a third appearing unexpectedly.
  • Phantom Coins – A glassless routine where coins appear and vanish cleanly.
  • Metal Bending – Coins appear one by one after a performer blows into their hand.
  • Jumbo Coin Production – A large coin appears as a dramatic finale.

Danny Goldsmith teaches his variation of the moves, which is slightly easier to perform than the original HD grip method. Some routines require gimmicks, but there is enough material to work with even if you skip those effects.

Who should consider the trick

This trick is best suited for intermediate to advanced coin magicians who are comfortable with sleight of hand. Performers who enjoy visually deceptive coin magic, especially for social media or close-up settings, will find these routines highly effective. Those who already know some of Danny Goldsmith’s or Rick K.’s work may adapt more quickly.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The HD grip and Canon pass require practice to master, but RealMagicReview notes that Danny’s variation is more beginner-friendly. Some routines, like Phantom Coins, demand precise angles, making them better suited for controlled environments or camera performances. The Metal Bending routine is particularly angle-sensitive, while the Jumbo Coin Production is more forgiving.

What magicians say

RealMagicReview describes the routines as "stunning" and "really baffling," particularly praising Phantom Coins for being visually deceptive. He mentions that while the HD grip is angle-sensitive, it becomes manageable with practice. He also highlights Danny’s variation as a good starting point for those new to the technique. His overall impression is highly positive, stating that learning these routines reignited his passion for magic during a difficult time.
