Three Coin Production
What the Three Coin Production Looks Like
You reach into the air and grab a tiny speck of dust or a piece of lint. Suddenly, that piece of dust turns into a real silver coin. Before your friends can even process it, you pull two more coins out of thin air until you have three sitting in your hands. It’s fast, visual, and looks like real magic.
How the Shell Makes it Possible
This routine works because it uses a "shell"—a special coin that fits over another one like a lid. This lets you hide extra coins in plain sight. By combining the shell with basic palms, you can show your hands are mostly empty while you're actually "loaded" and ready to produce the coins one by one. The shell does the heavy lifting, making it look like you have fewer coins than you actually do.
What You’ll Learn in This Lesson
Jose Arcario breaks down the sequence step-by-step so you don't feel clumsy. You'll learn how to hold one coin in a "classic palm" while another is hidden in your "finger palm" under a shell. This might sound like a lot to handle, but Jose shows you how to keep your hands looking natural and relaxed.
He also covers the exact timing for the "ditch"—a move where you secretly move a coin so you can produce it again later. This lesson isn't just about the trick; it's a great way to practice handling multiple coins at once. You'll learn how to move your hands with a specific rhythm that keeps the audience from seeing the secret moves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much practice does this take?
It takes some practice to get used to holding two coins in one hand. If you spend about 20 minutes a day for a few days, you'll start to feel much more confident with the grips.
Do I need a special coin?
Yes, you will need a coin shell that matches the other coins you are using. This routine is specifically designed to use that tool.
What if I have small hands?
Since you are using a shell and standard palms, hand size isn't a huge issue. Jose shows you how to position the coins so they stay hidden regardless of your hand size.
Is this good for beginners?
This is a "Level 30" difficulty, which means it's perfect if you already know the basics of palming and want to start doing more visual, multi-coin routines.
