One to Four

Cal Emmett

Effect

The performer removes a half dollar from his left trousers pocket and takes it in his right hand. Then making a tossing motion in the air he causes the coin to vanish. After showing the hand empty on both sides he reaches into the air and produces the half. He holds his left hand in a fist and places this coin between the middle joints of the third and fourth fingers.

Reaching into the air again with his right hand he produces a second coin, then places it in a similar position between the middle joints of the left second and third fingers. This is continued until four coins are produced and displayed in the same fashion in his left hand. Each time he produces a coin with his right hand that hand is seen to be otherwise empty.
