You will need 10 coins to make a pyramid as shown in the picture above.
Now the “trick” as you explain it to your friends is to invert this pyramid in only three moves, moving only one coin at a time. They can only move three coins total. Unless they have seen this before, they will be pretty stumped. You will then show them in three easy moves.
One: Switch the bottom-left coin to the 2nd from the top row on the right side.
Two: Move the bottom-right coin again to the 2nd from the top row on the right side.
Three: Move the top coin to the center of the bottom.
Voila!
