Here is a top notch trick that packs a real surprise. Few close-up stunts are as unique as this spectator fooler. Sandwiched in with the more complicated mysteries it adds zest to the performance.

Effect

Performer shows two silver coins in his open left hand. He quickly closes, then opens the hand. The coins have instantly changed to copper. Again he closes his hand and opens it. This time the coins have turned back to silver. The action is repeated for the third time, but this time only one coin changes to copper. The two coins are tossed onto the table for examination.

How it is done

The method and all it needs, inside the library.
