One to Six

Jack Chanin

Effect

The magician removes a half dollar from his pocket and displays it in his left hand, and the hand is seen to be otherwise empty. He takes the coin with his right hand and produces a second coin from the air with his left. Now he has two coins -one in each hand. He places the right hand coin between his lips and transfers the coin in his left hand to his right.

A third coin is immediately produced from the air with his left hand and he again displays a coin in each hand. Each time he produces a coin with his left hand, that hand is seen to be unmistakably empty, except for the one coin. As he produces the coins with his left hand he takes them with his right and places them between his lips until six coins are produced.
