Invisible Money Transit

Another version of the “Multiplication of Money” experiment.

Performer brings forward small plate on which are fifteen coins. These he pours into a spectator's hand, who counts them one at a time onto the plate to prove that there are fifteen coins. Performer is given two of the coins, and then the rest are again returned to spectator's hand. Thus thirteen are left in the hand.

Magician wraps the two coins in a handkerchief and gives them to spectator to hold also in other hand. Upon command the two coins disappear from the handkerchief and appear mysteriously with the thirteen coins. Spectator counts coins one at a time and finds that he holds fifteen in his hand.
