The Coin Fold

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

"How did he do that?" What a great question to hear any child say. Watch and learn the coin fold trick to amaze your class. Bringing magic in the classroom is a wonderful way to encourage a sense of wonder, inquisitiveness, and gets those little brains whirling. Have small groups in the class use creative thinking to come up with a coin trick of their own for a class magic show.
