Effect

Showing two coins, the performer places one in his left hand, closes it and turns it over. The second coin is put on the back of the left hand. The right hand is then closed into a fist and held some distance from the left. A spectator moves the outside, visible coin from the back of the left fist to the back of the right fist. As this is done, performer explains that when this coin is moved the other follows it. To prove this, he opens his left hand. It is empty. The missing coin is found in the right hand.
