I have an idea for a trick but wanted to check before spending hours mastering it: 1. Show palm of hand is empty while pinching coin between fingers behind it. 2. Flip hand over to show back of hand is empty while opening fingers to allow coin to roll into palm. 3. Reveal coin.

Hi! I've seen a move where the performer does a thumb fan, and then a card seems to pop out from under it. There was also a multi-card variation where the four aces were produced one after another. Does anyone know of the name? Thanks!

I'm not quite sure that this is the right place to put this, so if this belongs somewhere else just tell me. I'll go by X, and although I am very interested in the art of card magic, -and can perform many simple tricks,- I'm still relatively new to it and pretty bad at the flourishes and...
