\"\"<\/p>\n

An essential part of being an awesome uncle<\/a> is having a repertoire of tricks and jokes that will amaze your nieces and nephews, and crack them up. So from time to time we\u2019ll be offering you current and future uncles out there a tutorial on some gags that\u2019ll have them thinking you\u2019re the coolest dude in the world. Check out all our Cool Uncle Tricks.<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n

The French drop is a classic coin trick every cool uncle should have in his back pocket. It’s easy to do, and its visual effect always astonishes spectators. Whenever I have to entertain kids for more than a few minutes, it’s my go-to trick. A real crowd favorite.<\/p>\n

Before you show off the French drop, spend some time practicing in private in front of a mirror. Timing is everything with this trick. Once you’ve got the basic movement down, try jazzing it up by asking a niece or nephew to blow on the coin for good luck or dramatically announcing “Voila!” as the coin vanishes. You can also make the coin reappear by pulling it out of your niece’s or nephew’s ear<\/a>. With a little practice, you’ll have those kiddos convinced you’re a real-life wizard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
