Effect
A handkerchief is spread over the left hand by the performer. Two half dollars are placed on the handkerchief and hand is closed. Then the left hand is shaken and the clinking of the two coins is clearly heard. The closed hand is turned over so the corners of the handkerchief hang down, thus forming a bag with the coins inside. A spectator verifies that the two coins are still within the handkerchief by feeling them through the cloth. Grasping the coins through the cloth the performer suddenly yanks them through the handkerchief. The handkerchief is shown unharmed.
