You need the following objects to make this magic trick a success:The trick behind the matchbox magic
What you need in this magic is fast and quick hand movements.
Before the magic starts, prepare five matchboxes out of the six ones we have kept. Take each matchbox and pull out the tray which contains the matches. Then paste some coins inside any of the sides of the matchbox using either glue or Sellotape. Make sure that the coin sticks to different sides in different matchbox. Also make sure that the coin is not visible from outside. Now carefully insert the tray back to the box without loosening the coin.
Now you have to remember one thing. When you stick coin to the inside of a particular face of matchbox, that side will always touch the ground because of the weight. This means that the opposite side will face the sky. If you pasted the coin to the inside of the front of the matchbox, then the matchbox will fall with the back side up. Remember this. And write with a pencil 'b' or 'f' slightly on top of the matchbox to indicate which side will face the sky.
Leave the sixth matchbox empty and plain.
Now we may move to the performance stage. You have to keep the five matchboxes in the space below the table. At first, when you ask your friend to examine the matchbox, give him the 6th box which does not contain coin. Once your friend gives it back and walks back, quickly put the matchbox below the table and grab first box with the coin. Look which side will face the sky after falling. Then ask the box to fall with that same side upwards. Then throw the box. It will obey for sure! Now quickly exchange it for another matchbox while talking dramatically. Audience will listen to your words and will not notice you changing the boxes. Repeat the same process five times. You did it!Things to remember
