Copper Penetration

This makes an excellent “follow-up” trick for Silver or Copper Extraction. In fact, the two go so well together I seldom perform them separately. They are topnotch foolers.

Effect

Two coins are shown, one copper and one silver. The copper is given to a spectator to hold while the performer wraps the silver coin in a borrowed handkerchief. A spectator then holds the silver coin through the cloth in one hand and the bunched together corners in his other hand, the handkerchief being stretched out horizontally between them. Taking the copper coin, the performer causes it to vanish. The exact instant the coin vanishes it is heard to strike the silver coin as it arrives in the handkerchief.
