      It seems like some prop maybe, like a hollow coin-shaped lid, and every time after raising the cup, he moves his hands quickly and replaces the prop coin. It doesn’t seem to be magnets *alone* due to no change in thickness. But maybe there’s a magnet under the lid coin. If you drag the video slowly from 0:10, you can see one coin go under another.

    2. One of those coins has a hollow bottom, allowing a coin to slip underneath it and appear to meld together. He palms the last coins in his right hand, after he takes them out from underneath the shot glass and then presents a another coin with his left.

      One of the coins is one-sided and hollow; the others have been machined down to fit inside the hollows coin.

    4. This is exactly how I imagine Japanese reactions would be based on my experience watching anime

      I think one of those coins has a slightly larger circumference, and is machined out to perfectly fit another coin under it. Or it’s the opposite and the other coins are slightly smaller. If the prop coin was magnetized, when flipped over you would hardly notice the difference. These people sound drunk to boot lol

    6. All of these “it’s pretty obvious” people…

      Yeah, it’s pretty obvious when you have the benefit of infinite video replays and frame by frame analysis. That’s not the point of the trick, and if you saw it once in person you’d be impressed, too.

      Obviously it is an illusion, there are two places that coin could go, in all reality he made it way to obvious. Especially when he took the coin off the table then after too much of a delay put (what we are supposed to think) was the same coin back on but obviously it is not.
