practice and study your natural gestures and try to not let people notice. Don't stare at your hands while
you are hiding the coins in your palm(s). Learn how to naturally choreograph your motions and learn how to
do misdirection properly. If you have big hands then practice with fifty-cent pieces and/pr silver dollars.
If you have smaller hands then practice palming with a smaller coin, like a quarter.
When you learn the basics first and practice alot, then you will become good at vanishing coin magic.
