Here's how you do the trick. Just get any coin, large enough to see from a distance, like a half dollar. Get a strong piece of clear adhesive tape, and simply tape the coin securely to your middle finger on your left or right hand, so it rests snugly against your palm. It's a good idea to practice in front of a mirror for a bit, so you can move your hand around freely without anybody seeing the coin.
To make the coin appear, simply flip it up and over the top of your palm, just enough to hold it in place with your thumb. When you make it vanish, flip it back and hide it securely in your palm.

If people are expecting to see a coin magically appear from your hand, they'll naturally be watching your hand intently.
