Coin Tricks

  My dad's special thing has always been coin tricks (and humming old man songs.)
   It used to amaze me how he made a coin appear out of my ear or he got a coin out of his pocket that was very clearly just in his hand.
   But as I grew older, I anticipated these tricks. As he did the show for my smaller siblings, their jaws dropped in awe and they clapped their grubby little hands.
    My reaction went from "Wow!! How did you do that?" to "But it was just in between your fingers! You didn't really pull it out of my ear!" But his response was always the same.  "A magician never reveals his secrets."
