The coin matrix is a classic trick – take four cards and four coins, place them on a table, and watch as the coins hop from corner to corner underneath the cards. Ryan Hayashi’s version of the trick makes one important tweak: by the end, he’s no longer using his hands.

You can watch him perform the trick which won him 1st place at the 2005 Society of American Magicians European Championships of Magic in the above video. While watching him deftly transport each coin around the table is impressive, the real treat comes when he limits himself to using one hand, then no hands at all.
