How to Perform Yago's Three Fly

You hold three silver coins at your fingertips. One by one, they jump invisibly from your left hand to your right. Just when your friends think they’ve caught on, you make it harder by getting rid of the coins until you're doing the magic with just one coin that travels right through your sleeve.

Why This Version Works

Most "Three Fly" routines can get messy because there are too many coins moving at once. It’s easy for an audience to get confused. Yago’s version is progressive. You start with three coins, then move to two, and finish with one. This guides your audience's eyes so they always know exactly where to look. It uses "ditches"—simple ways to get rid of extra coins—to keep the magic looking clean and impossible to track.

What You'll Learn

You’ll start with the right way to fan three coins so they are easy to handle and look fair. Yago shows you a specific move to show your hands are empty even when you’re hiding a coin. You’ll learn how to "steal" coins while making it look like you’re just showing them off to the group.

The lesson covers the "French Drop" and the "Ramsay Subtlety," which help you finish the routine with a single coin. Yago also explains the timing of the sleeve move. You'll be able to make a coin vanish into thin air and reappear exactly where you point. It’s the kind of moment that makes people lean in and ask to see it again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of coins do I need?
You can use any coins, but half-dollar-sized coins are usually the easiest to handle and see.

Is this routine hard to learn?
It is an intermediate routine. If you can hold a coin in your hand without dropping it, Yago’s instructions will help you learn the rest.

Can I do this while people are standing around me?
Yes. Yago designed this version to be very clean, so it works well even if people are watching from the sides.

Do I need to wear a suit jacket for the sleeve move?
No. Any long-sleeved shirt, hoodie, or sweater will work perfectly for the final travel.
