Inertia trick

Video
  
Inertia is the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.

In our trick we stacked several nickels on top of each other and we were told to use a knife or a thin, flat object to see if we could move the bottom nickel without moving the others. The first couple of tries we failed to do so, but after many tries we finally accomplished our goal of doing it correctly. This inertia trick shocked us, even though it was simple on the outside it was a very intense task to complete.
