Click Pass Coin Technique
What Most People Get Wrong
Most people try to make the coins look "magical" by over-acting the tossing motion. This makes the move look stiff and suspicious. Because they aren't focusing on the natural rhythm of dropping coins, the audience immediately suspects that something is hidden in their hand.
Why It Matters
When you get the timing of the Click Pass right, the audience hears exactly what they expect to hear: the sound of a coin hitting the pile. By focusing on the audible click rather than just the visual, you create a "proof" that the coin has moved. When you successfully master this rhythm, your coin work stops looking like a collection of moves and starts looking like you are simply placing coins from one hand to the other.
What You'll Learn
You'll learn how to use the finger palm position to create a convincing auditory illusion. We break down the exact angle to hold your hand so the audience doesn't see the retained coin. You will practice the transition from a genuine coin drop to the simulated one, ensuring your rhythm stays consistent throughout the routine.
This lesson covers:
- The finger palm position for clean retention
- Creating the "click" sound using the index finger and thumb
- A variation using classic palm for deeper concealment
- How to match your fake toss to a real, genuine coin placement
- Methods for filming yourself to check if your move looks natural

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hard to learn?
It’s an intermediate move. If you are comfortable with a basic French Drop, you already have the foundation. The difficulty is just matching the rhythm of the fake move to your natural movement.
How do I know I'm doing it right?
The best way is to record yourself. If you watch the playback and can't tell the difference between your real tosses and the Click Pass, you've nailed it.
Is this the only way to do it?
No, but it's the most direct way to get that specific "click" sound. Once you learn this version, you'll be able to adapt it to your own routines easily.
