Coin Through a Glass

Effect

The performer shows two drinking glasses and two half dollars. Holding one of the glasses horizontally in his right hand, he places the two coins just inside of the glass so that they overlap each other slightly. Then he picks up the second glass and holds it opening upward directly underneath the bottom of the upper glass. As he turns the upper glass upright the two coins slide to the bottom of the glass where one is seen to penetrate the bottom and fall into the lower glass. The coins are poured out onto the table and the glasses and coins can be examined.
