One classic magic trick that people still fall for is the “vanishing coin” trick. In this trick, a magician shows a coin in one hand, makes a motion as if to drop it into the other open hand, but it somehow disappears instead. Even when people know the basic mechanics behind it—like misdirection or sleight of hand—they still get caught up in the moment and can’t help but be amazed. It’s fascinating how our brains can be so easily tricked, even when we think we’re watching closely!
