user: First, you will need a coin in your right hand and show it to the spectator cleanly and clearly. You then move your right hand toward your left hand and slightly twist the right hand as you place your thumb on top of the coin. Now fully turn the right hand above your left hand, drop the coin into your left hand, and close the left hand after the coin falls into it. Once this has happened, move the empty right hand away to the side. Where will the spectator look for the coin?

assistant: The spectator will look for the coin in the left hand, expecting it to be there. However, you have performed a sleight of hand trick. As you twisted your right hand and dropped the coin, you actually kept it hidden in your right hand, using a technique known as the 'French Drop'. The spectator, convinced that the coin is in your left hand, will be surprised when you open your left hand to reveal it's empty.
