With things that look like they could be gimmicked, be it cards or coins, I like to use the patter saying that they really are, well not gimmicked, but magical. If you tell them that there is something strange with the coin, if you try to grab it, it vanishes and appears somewhere else, it seems like the object has magical properties, and I find it actually takes spectator's attention away from what you are doing. I get less of "How did you do that?" and more of "How did that happen?"
